>Now, even after all that, if you still are thinking: “Why 2017!? You promised us 2015, and then 2016! Now it’s 2017?!!!?!” Well, the biggest factor in the 2017 release date is attention to detail. When we show off Persona 5 footage at E3 next week (Next week!), I think you’ll understand what we mean. We’re making sure every bit is in place. Persona has exponentially grown as a franchise, and considering that this is our first numbered sequel since 2008, ATLUS is taking its time to ensure this is the best possible experience.
Persona has gone down the shitter ever since P4 became a cash cow and the popularity blew up
now the fanbase is filled with the lowest common denominator
Nolan Collins
Delaying is good. >but muh duk nukem, muh mgs5! If you think the reason those game sucked was BECAUSE of the delays, you're retarded.
Ayden Collins
Game had to be restarted in development because it started when last gen was still a thing.
Pretty clear to me.
Jack Jones
Literally no one will care about P5 next week because E3 is going to have massive XV focus.
Jaxson Roberts
>2017
For the localization, what have AtlusUSA been doing this whole time.
Jace Robinson
I don't think anyone cares about XV. Or rather, everyone who cares is already fully sold on it, and won't care about new info.
Nathan Reyes
>At the moment, the game will not allow us to gut 75% of it for DLC. We're working on improving it.
Jayden Thomas
>US has to wait 7 FUCKING MONTHS after Japan How do I avoid spoilers?
Lincoln Martin
Join the military.
Caleb Morgan
You don't, FATLUS has fucked over every western fan with this bullshit
Cooper Bell
No dual audio after all that time. Just die.
Ryan Thomas
good thing the ps4 is region free. importing this 100%. even adding 10 hours of gameplay doesn't justify a 7 month delay. and fat chance they are even doing that.
David White
I can forgive the delay so long as they include dual audio. But we all know that's not going to happen, so fuck Atlus USA.
Tyler Barnes
English dubs are worthy of your respect, user-coon.
Jack Bennett
>valentine day
thanks Atlus-sama
Samuel Collins
To be fair, this is only Atlus' second major game in HD, and Catherine was relatively minimal in comparison.
Julian Peterson
how have you done so in the past?
Isaac Brooks
>no English release close to the Japanese one What the fuck have they even been doing with all these delays?
Either Atlus USA has been sitting on their fucking asses or Atlus JP literally only just gave them the game to translate. Either way, it's infuriating.
Liam Brooks
She had better have a dick.
Brayden Smith
Mark my words you fucking console losers. You hear me right now? Loud and clear? Well good, you better listen the fuck up.
I did NOT spend $600 on my GTX 980, another $300 on my overclocked i7 @ 4.10ghz, 16 gigs of ram, and deluxe cooling systems to keep this beast at proper temperatures to NOT fucking play Persona 5. You hear me you little faggots? I have spent WELL over $1000 on my gaming rig, and I WILL play Persona 5 on it one way or another. I abhor, I hate, I LOATHE the idea of even thinking of some cheap shitty console from Sony being allowed even 30 yards from my basement. If I need to make a fortress with my pizza boxes, Big Mac boxes, and liters upon liters of piss bottles to keep that shitty underpowered piece of plastic toy away from my very being and my beautiful prized possession (that's my PC in case you didn't know, fucking low IQ peasants), then so be it.
Atlus, I will ask nicely once more. You WILL port Persona 5 to the PC platform via Steam, it WILL obliterate the console version, and I WILL pirate it just to spite you dumb fucking slant eyed gooks for daring to even spite us; the proud and powerful PC master race.
Caleb Thomas
What about KOWASHITAI
Imagine If they got the game localized faster by dropping english dubbing. Win win for everyone
James Thompson
...
William Clark
KOWASHITAI is being handled by NoA, not Atlus USA.
Angel Bennett
>Square Enix can do four simultaneous WW releases in four months >Atlus can't release their biggest game on time even after years of delays >still don't know Europe exists This fucking company. Are they literally the worst Jap publisher after Konami now?
Grayson Cox
Atlus USA is still localizing it, just under NoA's watchful authoritarian eye.
Noah Turner
At least there will be a day 1 undub.
Evan Walker
>tfw I was literally thinking of joining the military Air force bootcamp is only 2 months.
What then?
I haven't.
Jonathan Reed
No, it's Nintendo Treehouse. They said themselves they're the ones localizing it.
Kevin Rivera
Oh I forgot about Europe. Didn't NISA, the main euro publisher of ATLUS games, recently part ways with them in Europe
Jeremiah Cooper
Joint with Nintendo, who actually has experience with making HD games, albeit still quite limited in the grand scope of things.
Liam Young
So? You're gonna listen to Japanese audio you don't understand one bit and read cucked English localization.
Nathan Foster
And I'm gonna enjoy every second of it!
Leo Brown
That sounds miles better than getting earraped by dub
Sebastian Russell
>Eight fucking months until neet pussy
Ayden Morgan
>ATLUS is taking its time to ensure this is the best possible experience.
Jordan Cox
Yeah, you're a weeaboo sucker too lazy to actually learn Japanese.
Chase Ward
>dating sim >release on february 14 >best possible experience >no dual audio >have to endure 5 month of endless spoilers from retards everywhere
Cooper Hernandez
A weeaboo sucker too lazy to actually learn Japanese who is going to enjoy listening to his seiyuus with the glorious undub!
Isaac Jackson
That what you get for being
Eli Gray
I hope every one of you faggots gets spoiled.
James Jones
I just want to scream "PERSONA!!!" once again while fapping to awkard doujinshi and listening to black rap music, bended in my mum's basement while she's watching me.
James Hill
Maybe Atlus didn't really think anyone wanted to play this shit series anymore.
Ryder Miller
>considering that this is our first numbered sequel since 2008, ATLUS is taking its time to ensure this is the best possible experience. Then why is the combat, animations and graphics worse than #FE
Liam Jones
This pisses me off so much. I want to blind play the jap version on release even though I would barely understand the story. At least then when I'm spoiled I'll at least have played it myself
Gavin Diaz
>Dubs are fun!
Christopher Cox
What burns me the most about this is that they likely could be done with the localization months earlier than the current release date, but Papa Atlus is slowing them down to meet the Valentine's Day release.
Robert Ross
They aren't
Daniel Hill
...
Jayden Rodriguez
g8 b8 m8
Jayden Davis
After the backlash, the faggots are saying that they are currently negotiating for a Japanese audio DLC.
Nathan Torres
I guess smt apocalypse is slowing them down though that's still bullshit
Daniel Gomez
DELETE THIS
Bentley Bell
Eh, not quite. Hardin spouted some bullshit that didn't mean anything.
People have been waiting for this game since late 2014 when they first announced it, building up hype for 2 years, then they are told that not only will the game come out next year, several months after Japan, making it almost impossible not to get spoiled unless you turn off your internet. And to just rub salt in the wound, it won't even feature the amazing japanese voice cast they spent a big part of the budget on. Meanwhile FFXV will come out at pretty much the same time worldwide and will feature 4 fucking languages.
Mason Hall
people afraid of P5
Asher Roberts
To play japanese version can I just use a normal US ps3 or do I need to fuck with it?
Ian Jones
I don't think it's that Atlus JP wants them to release in 2017 as much as the fact that they could not give less of a shit about anyone outside Japan, including their own international branch.
Liam Jones
Of course you can
Andrew Moore
>people who?
Hudson Clark
Not up to speed at the level you could play Persona 5. Your only option as of now is a jailbroken PS3.
James Gomez
It exists its just extremely limited
Nathaniel Garcia
the shitposters have been waiting for this delayed news
Eli Peterson
Persona fans, some of them have been waiting since 2008.
Liam Jackson
Well you need to be able to understand the game.
Connor Collins
Well, it's a good time as any to get scalped.
Ian Scott
you just described me, while I'm pissed, FFXV means nothing to me
Joseph Sanchez
>Atlus USA found out about the delay to 2016 exactly when we did
this fucking company
Justin Collins
I had no interest in FFXV, but now after learning about this shit Atlus is pulling I feel like I should just drop Persona 5 and go for FFXV instead, atleast those guys care, it's a shame since I've been waiting for this game since early 2009 when I first completed P4.
Cooper Ortiz
You can buy a PS3 on ofw 3.55 (the last crackable firmware) in the range of $150 if you look carefully.
Nicholas Johnson
>b-but international release is too expensive for us >b-but we're not ready for it yet
Jaxson Long
faggot
Logan Sullivan
Massive summon battles, nosses, new locations, new story trailer, new characters, setpiece battles, hype as fuck.
John Walker
You don't actually believe that, do you? Sure, Hardin was probably in the dark, but the suits and localizers wouldn't have been.
Austin Rodriguez
you don't have to make a big deal out of this le
And by that you meant you will buy FFXV and not P5? kek
Lincoln Watson
Delays are good.
They make NO money from delaying the game. The development costs increase but the amount they charge is the same. The fact they are taking more time to finish it can only be a good thing. I know it's frustrating, we all want to play it soon, but in the long run this will mean a better game.
Andrew Price
Nobody cares about the shitty combat and awful story. We care about flying around in a car and playing arcade minigames.
Camden Morris
Fuck off, P5 is censored, nit dual audio and delayed to 2017 so naturally people are pissed.
Henry Thomas
Why would they let their PR head, the man who is supposed to be the face of the branch, repeatedly assure people the game was launching in 2015 if they knew better?
Caleb Lopez
Wait this shit got delayed again? Wow.
Daniel Flores
>tfw live in Japan and actually know he language well enough to play the jap version, but actually prefer English voices Yeah, fuck you too, Atlus.
Logan Wilson
Because he's a PR guy and his job is to say it's 2015 until his job isn't to say it's 2015. You don't announce bad news until you have good news, hence why it was packed with a new trailer.
There's no need to tell Hardin shit until you want him to tell everyone else. That just makes it harder for him to lie.
Liam Garcia
Stop lying, zainichi. We all know your Japanese is shit.
