It's selling and reviewing very well, so it is nearly guaranteed to have a rerelease of this game sometime down the line.

Wikipedia says the Japanese week one sales were about 330K across both platforms, compared to 190K for Persona 4, so... yeah, if P3 and P4 are anything to go by, it's certainly not impossible.

Yeah, there'll definitely be a rerelease at some point. Hell, Persona 3 got two of 'em.

The main questions are "When?" and "On what console(s)?" I'd predict just PS4 again like Persona 3 FES, but if they made a Switch version so it could be portable that would own extremely hard.

Considering I still crack out P4G on my Vita from time to time and replay it, having P5 on Switch would be wonderful.

Eh, P4G's only real misstep was Marie, in my opinion. Everything else about it is a nice improvement on Persona 4. I'll put up with Marie for the rest of P4G's improvements. Persona 5 definitely has some areas that could be improved (for example: stop preventing me from doing things at night, Morgana! I know the game wants to make it tough to max out a lot of things but that's more frustrating than it's worth!) so I wouldn't mind seeing an updated rerelease in a couple years that does that.

Or, y'know, rereleasing it on something portable even with no/very minor changes would be pretty sweet.

Well, it took them more time with each re-release. FES came out after a year, but Golden took almost four.

Maybe we'll get Persona 6 before it comes out!

The ad for it should be Morgana telling Joker he shouldn't play video games tonight because they have to go somewhere, then Joker's like "gently caress you, cat!" and pulls out a Switch and plays video games on the go and blows that silly cat's mind.

I will say that the P4G extended hot springs scene stuck out like a sore thumb, even for a series as pervy as Persona, but other than that, yeah, I'll take a couple of missteps in exchange for the vast improvements.

I'm more excited for Persona 5 Arena. Since because half of Persona 4 an 3's characters are either cops or part of a shady government agency, my cool friends The Phantom Thieves will beat the crap out of them.

I never played Persona 3, so if they could release a port of that on the PS4 that would be cool. Same for P4G, I played that on Vita but having it on an actual console would be nice. These games are pretty fun and fill an interesting niche.

Do people really prefer disembodied voices saying they can't go out like in every other Persona game?

Because Morgana is no more restrictive than that. Also you don't just lose a month in 5 like you do in 4 because you get a lovely job and time skips in summer.

I think 3 and 4 were better at hiding restrictions, I don't remember restriction complaints on here when p3 and 4 came out (besides the summer internship) and Morgana saying "don't do that" is a meme on 4chan at the moment

Persona 3 Portable is downloadable for Vita. It's my very unpopular opinion that FES (downloadable for PS3) is better for a first playthrough of that game, but I know most everyone disagrees.

:same:

The intro and ending are sort of the best parts of the whole game, the crazy anime cutscenes make them a lot more effective than the lovely in-game models or static images the PSP has to deal with.

Also they removed or heavily changed a bunch of mechanics for literally no reason besides "this is how persona 4 did it" which is kinda lovely because except for direct control P4 did all those things worse imo

Good news for you, this never happens.

Morgana is my least-liked character of the bunch but I don't know if it's because he's bad or because he's the face of, "better get to bed early tonight!"

He popped out for me during one of Anns Slinks and it freaked her out. Although that might have just been one of those summer day hangouts and not actual time spending, like the one where Ruji and Mishima bump into each other.

They also didn't really change the difficulty of the existing content to deal with a combat system where you directly control all 4 characters, so as a result, the game is way easier.

Then again, Golden is much easier than Vanilla P4, and I still like it better, so maybe I'm just talking out of my rear end.

But yeah, the presentation suffers heavily in P3P. Aside from the missing cutscenes, there are literally no 3D environments at all, outside of the dungeon.

It seems incredibly stupid to me that the School Uniform and Beachwear outfits are free DLC instead of just being in the game by default. The reason they're free is that it's stuff that's already in the game in other contexts - why not just have it be available without having to wait until Atlus decides to throw it up on the PlayStation Store? As it is, the Costume-option in the menu is completely useless unless you hit up PSN (unless something changes after September).

I know the answer is that it makes their absurd $60+ of cosmetic DLC look less greedy if they throw up some freebies as "presents" alongside all the paid stuff, but still.

I can't remember the game, I think it was Star Ocean 2, but it was one where in order to finish side quests or get really good equipment much later in the game, you had to hold on to certain rare pieces of equipment. Am I good to sell my starting equipment or do I need to hold on to my Hip Glasses or Suspenders for some reason?
