By the way, for the Shin Megami Tensei games released in Europe, are they all English language only, or do any of them have a Spanish language option?

Sad thing is, given that the titles seem to jump rapidly between European publishers (Ghostlight did a few, then Koei, then Square-Enix and now a whole new set of guys are doing Catherine) you really can't tell with any consistency.

I could see releasing a P4P in the US as being a pretty smart move if it comes out as a launch title/around the time Vita launches in the US. It would fill the same void Overclocked did with the 3DS.

I mean they did do an English release for Catherine, of all things, and it managed to exceed sales expectations.

Use the anime with a well timed readvertised stream (I imagine that if this IS P4P that the anime will be well done by the time this gets out) and watch as a retarded amount of cash rolls in.

Atlus seriously need to figure out their Euro Distro plans beyond "Ah, some idiot will pick it up for us". Sure it's only remakes of Devil Survivor now. But there will be tears once it's, say, Strange Journey 2 or Etrian Odyssey 3D.

Then again, if Nintendo hadn't hosed with region locking in the first instance, we wouldn't be in this mess. Good going there, you jerks :argh:

Speaking of Murders, guess who just killed P4A's chances in Europe?

Seriously, Zen have confirmed that it's only going to be a straight up port (with no European language options) over of the US Version with the region code changed. It shouldn't be that hard.

But you know what else isn't that hard? Me cancelling my pre-order, making it clear though all channels that I will by pre-owned and pre-ordering the Tales of Graces F 1st Day Edition which has a ton of stuff which is basically a thank you for not importing (which you can totally do with TOGF) instead.

With the exception of Arc System Works, every company involved with making and distributing this game seems to have handled it really poorly.

See, that sort of nonsese can fly with a PS3 game when I can buy the thing on Import. This, and I hate to sound like a broken record, can't for all the region locking poo poo that's floated around this.

Or I guess you could just buy the US version because I think the Vita isn't region locked?

Spring isn't too bad (and, hey, it's a loving release date, remember those, Zen?) and, yes, if one so desires one could import it. Or wait to see what nicknaks N1 are gonna throw in to make it worth our time (see Tales of Graces)

Companies need that sword or we get into P4A / DeSu OC like situations.

Still, if N1 Europe could just do all of ATLUS' stuff from now on, that'd be swell. The whole P4A debacle has shown the need for that already.

So, any Europeans hoping to play Persona 4 Areana sometime in this lifetime should probably not hold much hope

The take from all this; they haven't submitted the Xbox 360 version for classification from Microsoft. PS3 is done but nope, they haven't even submitted the Xbox version.

I'm convinced this is some sort of sick joke and we're not actually going to get P4A.

Because that doesn't ever get loving old.

Changing one piece of code (Not loving joking about that, for the PS3 version at least, that's all they needed to do) and getting the game thrown at Sony and Microsoft to get the game out in a reasonable time-frame so region locking due to the retarded economics of Japan (We wouldn't be in this mess if some Japanese smartass sat down and realise that maybe charging exorbitant prices for, anything, really, is a bit stupid) doesn't sound like a bad idea?
Naw, gently caress that, let's just post inane bullshit for days on end. That will get us sales!

Course ATLUS, having learned NOTHING from this whole goddamned mess, are going to release EO4 and Soul Hackers with no idea if anyone will pick it up for PAL Distro (EO4 did, IIRC, but nothing on Soul Hackers) because that is how you win fans a devil may care attitude to localisation of Niche games when your core business is the localisation of niche games.

The big problem is that a lot of people have been saying for years now "get ready to go back to the 16-bit era in terms of releases being skipped over". A lot of really, really stupid spending has hit companies in the wallet, and now bringing stuff to (region) isn't seen as something that can be fitted into the budget, but "how much do we think it'll sell to that audience? oh, like 12 guys? okay gently caress 'em". This poo poo's only gonna get worse before it gets better, and it probably won't just be portables within the next two years!

Which makes region locking even more retarded. It's no longer the 90's where Japanese games are the flights of fancy of magazines.

When people miss out on your rpg they'll know and they will render your flesh for it or, worse, pirate it.

I guarantee you people are making preparations to deal with soul hackers on pal 3DS and Inazuma Eleven on NTSC 3DS and buying the game is not in that plan.

As a PSO fan this is the worst case scenario.
I'd like to think that Sega would be awesome and use ATLUS USA to localise their games (and then maybe use SOE to mitigate that stupid six month wait ATLUS was want to punish European fans with) but that would be a smart thing to do and Sega is not good at smart.

As is, I'm just going to remember the good run we've had from Nocturne to P4G and just consider myself lucky that EO4 is out in the uk already.

Seriously anyone upset about Sega getting them should take a look at their steam catalog sometime. Their top selling franchises are Football Manager and Total War, they bought Relic who made the Dawn of War/Company of Heroes games, they have excellent ports of Sonic Generations and Sonic Racing on the PC which are also always cheaper while already looking like a PS4/XBONE game. They've gotten a lot of praise in the PC sphere, with the only real misstep being that they never brought over PSO2 which people have fan translated anyway.
Buggering up PSO2 (ditto VC3 et all) is a huge black mark given what were dealing with.
Yes those games on the pc are nice but PSO hangs over the whole deal like a mouldy sock.

So it got fan translated, whoop. Mother 3's fan translation, nice as it is doesn't absolve Nintendo's nonsense in that instance.

Do we hope on the fans translating future ATLUS titles?

Also, bonus: guess how many voice clips in the main storyline were changed and re-recorded from Persona 3 to Persona 3 FES.

And given Sega of Europe has become a perpetual "Nothing to say at this time" megaphone (For example they won't give a hard date for the 3D Classics collection), that pretty much ensures that we're going to be doing the whole stupid song and dance we went though for SMT 4 for everything else Atlus related in the future.
