This hame has been in development for like 6 years. What the fuck has atlus usa been doing that whole time?

The PS4 fucked up its deadline. Shouldve released it on PS3 back in 2014, and then P5 Golden for PS4 shouldd be the one we are looking forward to now. But instead they wante da dual release.

Persona is pretty mediocre anyway, so I'm looking forward to Yakuza Zero more, as it's coming out just before P5.

porting tothe nx

I'm not talking about how long the game was in development, just the fact that atlus can do a near simultanius release for a crappy fighting game spinoff but not THE game they've been working on.

translating is not that simple

its a very involved process that takes time

Nothing about this game looks like it's using the power of the PS4. Index going under and P4 Dan dev problems probably had more to do with it.

Its 60fps though!

BS excuse there was an interview with one of the scenario writers early last year where they stated that they where done. Atlus just does not wish to do a world wide release

Atlus japan literally wouldnt let them translate the game to prevent reverse importers

Fucking chink jew niggers

The problem is Atlus USA doesn't have any developers and relies on Atlus Japan to make the English builds for them to QA. So while they might be able to translate the excel sheet of Persona 5's text they still need to play the game to make sure they have the proper context. Now if Atlus JP gave a shit about releasing in the West close to Japan they would've started providing builds to Altus US once they were in Beta instead of waiting until they were completely done with the Japanese version going on vacation then starting on the US version after they get back,

I find it extremely frustrating that this happens to the few JRPGs that still exist, the Tales series continues to delay the translated version of their game for 6+ months and here you have an even more story driven game being delayed for almost half a year.

You pretty much ruin the game for a large amount of your overseas fans because the game is going to get spoiled regardless of how careful you are.

fuck off idiot

Going to fuck your mom right now so I can make you an idiot brother or sister

nice edge there weeb

This has been the production process for these companies for years. It is a bigger challenge to market a physical release in multiple regions. Unless a publisher has deep pockets they're willing to use it doesn't seem to happen

I'm a dub fan but honestly I really don't mind if they just released subs, it's silly knowing the game is going to be spoiled and played out by the time you get your hands on it.

In the case of Zestiria we had to listen to 9 months of people going apeshit about the game and it really ruined all expectations.

It's probably not even AtlusUSA's fault.

Atlus Japan seems to not give a single fuck about the West. They probably didn't even give them the game to start translating until recently.

But how will you enjoy the game's English dub if you dont wait???!? Don't you know that English VAs are GOOD people and deserve your RESPECT????!?

what the fuck are you even trying to say

A delay is inevitable, but they managed to get SMTIV out 2 months after Japan's release. Persona 5 is their most anticipated game yet and they're actually moving backwards.

I blame Sega closing their localization branch and shifting all of their projects onto Atlus USA.

What is going on? I looked on a local game website in the uk and it says fucking 2017?! Fuck my ass please.

Dont even bring sega up. This is all atlus japans fault. They impose certain time restrictions on when atlus usa can release games because of reverse importing. Weve seen it with smt4, smt4 a, catherine, persona 3, persona 4, persona 4 golden, digital devil saga, devil survivor. They have always been like this

>tfw you know Japanese

>Atlus USA said we'd understand the reason for the 2017 release at E3
>Nothing shown at E3 made it seem worth it

What the fuck are you even on about? The game wasn't anywhere near done in 2014.

Show us your moon runes prowess then?

Considering what they have shown has actually changed since 2014, this is a retarded thought

Subs only didn't help Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE# release much sooner.

It's a pity that Japanese devs don't just implement multi language support as they're building the game so that one build of the game will support both the US and Japan regions.

>Being a filthy EOP

That's because they were censoring the shit out of #fe. P5 doesn't appear to have that level of censorship, so this delay is perplexing.

>オレの文法は本当に乏しいですよ
>かんじたくさんを話せませんよ
>毎日,日本語を勉強しませんから

FUCK

The fact that they only had Japanese footage was the statement of "We don't have an English Build ready yet as not much was done in English during the delays"

FE# delay probably had more to do with Nintendo trying to space out the few Wii U releases they have

>abloo abloo I have to wait 5 months for my friendship simulator
Why don't you use those 5 months to get a girlfriend?

>He wants shitty JP audio

So you speak japanese then?

Because a waifu is better than a girlfriend.

The Japanese voice cast for Persona 5 is awesome. You don't need to know Japanese to appreciate it, though I do.

nope

jp VA all sound the same, they're so repressed in real life that they can only overact like crazy (for a great example, see their humor and in particular manzai)

male va: emotionless, gruff old dude, whiny fag

female va: kawaii to a level that sounds like nails on chalkboard, bitchy, ara ara

voice acting is bullshit that actively harms the story by preventing them from having actual branching paths because they'd have to voice act way too much stuff, and this pseudo-idolfag culture of "buy our product because seiyuu X is in it" can go to hell

I have one now, where's my fucking game

Atlus gives no fucks about the west. Their E3 showing was a niconico stream. A niconico stream with subtitled footage of people at their LA booth being interviewed (which was never even released to the American audience).

They recorded the footage, sent it back to Japan to be edited and subtitled, and streamed it within 24 hours. Official PV#03 English subs came 9 months after the fact and are still not yet publicly available

yea i watched one of my favorite anime in jap the other day the girls voice was so stupid

>What the fuck has atlus usa been doing that whole time?
waiting for a japanese copy to come out so they can buy one and translate it.

>Don't you know that Japanese VAs are GOOD people and deserve your RESPECT????!?

This is not at all the case in Western VA.

I can confirm that I have never been offput by a cast that sounds like they're doing a Pokemon reunion. In fact, no western VA has ever overacted.

You've had all this time to learn moon, user. What have you been doing?

Well don't worry, I'll let you know how the game is while you wait.

i hope this is what really happend

>Mfw I don't give a fuck about Japanese voices like the braindead weebs
>Mfw the late release doesn't bother me because I'll be busy with FF XV

Such is the life of the patrician.

Not if it's delayed like it may be.

>Say that all voice acting is bad
>B-BUT THE WESTERN VOICE ACTING IS BAD

lol?

FFXV will be my third final fantasy should i play 13

>he's an EOP
>calling himself a patrician

Play Lost Odyssey or The Last Remnant instead. Trust me. The former game is only on X360 though.

Are you me?

How can I be you when I am literally me instead?

i had The Last Remnant got mad at it because i got lost i will try it the other one

Just gonna import it. Probably gonna wait and get it shipped with BBCF though. Not sure why people still buying English copies in 2016.

Did you see what Atlus USA had to show at E3? Hardin had to fucking pause the Japanese trailer and try to explain shit he clearly had no knowledge of whatsoever just to make it look like they had been doing SOMETHING with Persona 5. It's pretty clear that Atlus JP hasn't given them shit so far.

We'll get another standard Atlus dub job with no dual audio, nothing to make up for such a ridiculous delay after so long of a development cycle, and if we're really unlucky we'll get Ashley Burch and a localization that removes content on top of it.

This might be bullshit it probably is but the last con I went to some guy that I met claimed that since Persona 4 all Persona games have sold better in the west vs Japan. Spin offs, fighting games, and even the dancing one.

undub

>Ashley Burch

is this some new meme

>un

err okay then, just the dub?

Why does Atlus not care about the west? Persona has done pretty good over here, especially the last one. Is it so hard to get a world wide release date or at least a release that isn't delayed by fucking half a year?

>At some point between the JP and ENG release date you're going to hover over spoiler text in a non-Persona related thread and be exposed to all the story critical plot points
t-thanks atlas

this is true if only because there are way more people in the west then in japan that buy video games

ok one game so

Yes, and the most recent one. She's cheaper than Bailey, too.

im going to look up plot points anyway so i dont mind but that is a dick move

still dont see the problem like her

Then you have shit taste and are beyond help.

nice opinion

>Prefers English dubs of niche JRPGs
>Is actually looking forward to FFXV and intends to get five months out of it
>Thinks he is patrician

>Persona
>niche

Final Fantasy, Persona and Fire Emblem are like the mainstream JRPG trinity

There's no point talking sense into retarded weeaboos. They're too far gone.

Singular FF games sell more than the entire Persona franchise going twenty years back.

You didn't even mention Dragon Quest. You have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

>niche

>DQ
>being a remotely big thing in the west

Mainstream western fanbase casual trinity you sperg

You said nothing of western fanbases.

Also Fire Emblem was Literally Who tier until Awakening and is no were near the biggest of JRPG series, East or West.

There is nothing wrong with Ashley Burch, you don't like her because of her brother. and the reason she didn't do a good job with Rise was because she didn't even bother trying to sound like her

Regardless, Persona is not niche. All your mum's favorite memer youtubers who don't even play JRPGs will be dropping their shit to LP it

>there was an interview with one of the scenario writers early last year where they stated that they where done.
link? I cant find it.

>these character designs

...

What's MeMe?

This, I'm not getting it for friendship, I'm getting it for demons

>has shit taste

I saw an article like, three or four months ago about the challenges of localizing the game or something, so no, it's probably not done yet.

>In the case of Zestiria we had to listen to 9 months of people going apeshit about the game and it really ruined all expectations.

Nah, it was just a bad game. I played it when it released in Japan, so I didn't hear all that first, and I still thought it was pretty shit.

It's a nice feel, but I won't use it for Persona 5. Played Persona 1 and 2 and had fun. Played 3 and 4 and they almost killed my interest in the series. 5 looks like it might be alright? Don't know, but I'll wait a bit before I play it now.

>mainstream JRPG

Final Fantasy, Pokemon, and that's it. Persona is less niche than it used to be but it's not mainstream. Neither is Fire Emblem

>tfw even if the game ends up being shit the OST will be GOAT

3 Mainline SMT games

Stay in your fantasy bubble dumb weeaboo.

why can't this be released on PC.
