I wonder if Sony will publish P5 in the EU. It would make sense, they need some Christmas exclusives over here, and ATLUS sure as hell aren't going to do it.

Everytime I think about Persona 4, I remember how underused that "REACH OUT TO THE TRUTH" theme is.

All the truths that they learned in the game is inane as hell, who the hell cares that you hate the countryside or that you're passive aggressively controlling your friend.

It's the price of all the quality voice acting in a 3DS game.

that already came out and the diehards have already beaten it 100% i'm sure

I'm like 35 hours in and apparently like 30% of the way through the main story

And they just added New Game +. And there's DLC coming.

Also it's probably the most I have ever enjoyed an open world game. Like I don't give a poo poo about Fallout 4 of Xenoblade Chronicles X anymore because I'll just play more Witcher 3.




Persona 5 is different though I wanna play more 100 hour games

There weren't many PS3s sold in Japan at that point and a pretty good amount of them were backwards compatible anyway. It's a niche series in the west (even more so back then) so a PS3 version would have been a waste of money for sure.

Yeah I got a PS3 for MGS4 in like, September 2008 and ended up playing Persona 4 on it more than anything else as soon as that came out

I don't really care if the games are a little more expensive because I like them enough to pay the price, but it's not some bonus charge for the translation. They don't even charge more for every game; pretty sure the Arena games were at most $60 on release.

I wish game companies would just translate games and not bother doing the voice acting. Seems like that would shave off a huge time and resource sink for localizing games.

Well I meant more for games that would otherwise not get released at all. I'm sure any fan of Japanese games would settle for translated text and JP voices over no localization ever purely because of the cost of voice actors

You know what would also save that time and money? Not localizing them. We should just do that because some people like to ask for loving stupid things.

Like beyond the fact that some Japanese companies specifically ask for dubs of the games, the process of localization is not even taken up that much by voice acting. That is a separate thing entirely from the rest of the process since there are people specifically hired for that part of things. It does take more money yeah, but that's a dumb thing to bitch about in an industry where everything costs an arm and a leg to do.

A game that is not dubbed will lose sales. This may or may not be an issue but you never know when a seemingly minor game will blow up.

Persona 3/4 is a great example because having a dub was pretty essential to it doing reasonably well because a sub-only release would have scared some of its audience off and left it as even more niche than it already is. You can skip a dub if you know you're not even going to attempt to sell outside that audience but you might regret it later.,

I get that the 2015 date for Persona 5 is confirmed, but what is actually known about the game? I remember:
- four party members, one of them a cat
- there are Personas
- students by day, cat burglars by night
- you are to steal back your future

Is there any more info about battle system, S.Links (are there any?), costumes, general gameplay?

I think the best we can say about the party members at the moment is that there's at least 4. I'd expect there'll be more than that.

If P5 on PS4 runs at even just one more FPS or performs in any way better than the PS3 version I'm getting a PS4. I'm ashamed of myself for that, but that's the truth of things.

It'll likely be identical to the ps3 version except it runs at 1080p. Maybe cynical but it wasn't announced for ps4 initially.
