In this long line, there's been some real strange genes. You've got 'em all, with some extras thrown in.

Things could be going better

"They're just going to announce a game and be done with it." I think

"There wouldn't be much fun staying up to watch" I think.

Still, this thread has been a wild ride. I'm glad to hear there's going to be a reason to still use my PS3 half a year from now!

E. I would mock the persona dancing game but seeing that they've already made a slot machine out of it, whelp.

Honestly, I would have been happy if the announcement was just P4A2 (the Persona 5 "reveal" didn't reveal anything anyway), but getting Persona Odyssey on top of it is pretty great. Looking back, it actually kinda makes sense that they would make Persona Q - after all, they did the same thing for Strange Journey. Put a couple of EO games out, then tweak the engine a little and reuse it to make their other dungeon crawling series.

I've never played EO, should I give it a try to get used to the systems etc before Persona Q?

Until we know more about how it actually plays, that's hard to say. However, you absolutely should give the EO series a shot. Both EO4 and EO: Untold are fantastic starting points. EO4 is a more traditional EO game, and Untold gives you the option to play a mode with a defined story and party members (but you can go it alone and make your own party in classic mode if you want).

From the same website for the dancing game:

Translations from Famitsu posted:

Not much, just a short plot synopsis on what the story mode for this rhythm action game. In short, the story takes place 6 months after P4/P4G. And it concerns YET another TV programme which is shown at midnight.

And our Investigation Team will be having a battle dance off with the Shadows.

For more details, check out under the cut.

6 Months After The Inaba Murders, A New Story Begins!

Persona 4 Dancing All Night is a rhythm action game, developed by the Atlus Persona team, in collaboration with Dingo, which features mainly the Persona soundtrack. (they didn’t specify it’s P4, so it’s entirely possible that music from other series may be in.)

The story begins with Kujigawa Rise returning to the entertainment world 6 months after the events of the game. Then rumours starting going around that if you go to a certain site at midnight and watch a certain video, you will be brought to the “other side” and not wake up again.

Following which, there was a series of disappearances involving members from the idol group “Kanamin Kitchen”.”Kanamin Kitchen” features Mashita Kanami, Who is also Rise’s kouhai/junior in the entertainment world. (She is also the one who was mentioned in Rise’s social link about a new person being groomed to “replace” her.)

In the game, the protagonist and members from Persona 4 will battle with shadows using their dancing in a strange world called the “Mayonaka Stage”.

Dance battles with Shadows? An actual effort story mode? The seriousness with which they're treating this silly game is just incredible.

Winter 2014 is December of next year, there's no way they only release a teaser and the game is 4-5 months away, that's pure insanity.

The Persona 3 reveal was March 2006 in Famitsu and the game came out in July. The Persona 4 reveal was March 2008 in the same and the game also came out in July.

Wasn't this announced a few hours ago? Where are you even reading backlash

Also the slavery/emancipation thing with Persona 5 is a little awkward for a North American audience. Given that teaser and the ball-and-chain thing I suspect it'll be a motif in the actual game, so I sure hope they handle it carefully!

I just woke up and this announcments have blown my loving mind :psyboom:

-Persona Odyssey: This one looks like an interesting time waster plus I'm a sucker for anything with Makoto Minato as protagonist so sign me the gently caress on (also 3DS is the only system with a game announced that I own so :v:)

-Dancing all night: The most confusing of them all for a country mile, totally unexpected. It looks GOOFY as hell though so I'm gonna cheking up when it comes out.

-Persona 5: :circlefap: 'nuff said
Shame that is for PS3 though, with Sega in charge I doubt that they'll be assed to localized it :saddowns:

Sega would be pretty stupid not to localize probably the biggest international seller of their newly acquired asset.

The Sega acquisition was more or less "hey we have a new company named Sega Dream taking over index. Sega Dream is now named index." I think the old structure remains in place aside from a couple CEOs being fired.

The internet, mostly? Comments of news sites I go to.

Also Persona 5 is gonna be released here, Sega does not hate money. The other two are up in the air, though they're both strong possibilities.

So a dungeon crawler, a dancing game, and Persona 5? Cool, I guess.

I wonder if there'll be any P1/2 characters in the dancing game? (Probably not :smith:)

There probably won't even be any P3 characters in it. The cast list so far (from that trailer) is Yu, Kanami (original to the game), Rise, Yosuke, Kanji, and Chie. 'And more' probably just means Naoto and Yukiko, assuming Teddie's the DJ or whatever.

The PS4 hasn't been out that long. Even if we discount weird FIFA ports, the PS2 had releases for years after the PS3 came out (if we don't discount them, PS2 releases ended last year). It's not like the very second the PS4 released, everyone except Atlus decided to stop releasing PS3 games.

Pick axe evokers for the chain gang aesthetic.

Also, the dancing game is super up in the air because they might not want to translate and re-record the music, assuming it has sung parts of possible new songs. I hope it comes over, though.

TEEN PREGNANCY. It's obvious. Ball and chain - marriage. GET IT?


It would be interesting to have the persona series go into another structured environment like school. Maybe be a college intern and fight shadows derived from evil xerox machines.

I would be utterly shocked if they don't bring it over. It's without doubt Atlus' biggest release for a while. They know it will sell. It would be crazy to leave it in Japan. Seeing as Sega would be publishing it, I even have a vague hope that us Europeans might get it at a reasonable date.
