>5 months after Japanese release
JUST
Just stay off the internet until February if you don't want to get spoiled :^)
What?
Is this confirmed?
>>340343949
>will have to avoid spoilers for 5 months
I bet importfags will spoil everything the week it comes out in Japan. Looks like no more /v/ for me until valentine's day.

Any logical reason you don't know Japanese?
You'd get the game 5 months early and without cucklocalizations.
>>340344385
I'm too lazy to learn one more language after English.
Trump and SMT Final will make it a fast few months r-right...
>>340344374
Fuck
Time to avoid /v/ then for that time
>>340344385
>Any logical reason you don't know Japanese?
It's a completely useless language to learn unless you're desperate to play imports.
>>340344542
I'm an ESL too and I would learn Japanese on top of it.
Reminder to not give your money to those kikes at Atlus.
Reminder that if you buy this you are helping destroy the games industry.

Ah, so that's why it's called Persona 5.
>>340344930
whats the difference?

Good, especially if it means taking idiots like you with it.

>>340345217
The cat in the bottom left got moved up slightly and everyone is screaming censorship.

>>340345070
but they don't talk directly to me calling me friend or telling me they love me i cant control anime characters either to make them fall in love with me you fucking comic cuck
>>340343949
It's so they can fix it for western audience.
You probably have a learning disability if you haven't learned Japanese after playing Japanese games for over 5 years
>>340345706
It's so they can insert memes and honorifics.
>>340345706
Do you realise that they have a shitton of text and jokes to translate, and that releasing a game overseas takes money and time?
>>340345706
>It's so they can fix it for western audience.

>>340343949
Whoa now, OP. Are you just going to leave Ann's tits uncovered like that?

well FUCK you too

>>5 months after Japanese release
That's not bad at all actually, or are you too young to remember having to wait at LEAST a year for localizations.
five fucking months
man i actually wanted to be unspoiled for this game but honestly i kinda dont give a shit anymore
>>340345920
A lot of people have no idea how much work translating a texy heavy RPG full of casual conversations and cultural references is. Most people think translating is just changing words from the language into whatever's in the dictionary.
>>340344374
>winter 2014 originally
>February 2017 now
>>340346314
Being an English-Russian translator for a living hurts.
>>340346150
That's not a good argument. Resources have vastly improved since the 80's, and as a result, things are generally much faster.
Who else here glad it's this far apart so all the quiz answers will already be online?
>>340346631
Amount of and intricacy of text and dialogue has also changed since the 80s.
>the entierty of the game will be available on Youtube as soon as September 15th
>Japs and importfags will enjoys the fuck out of it and wash the game
>all the western fans will watch translated LPs
>When the game actually comes out in the west, the people who might have been interested in it will not care because they already saw everything and moved on something else
>The sales will be bad and Sega will have an excuse to ignore western fans from now on, the same that happened with Capcom and Ace Attorney
>The Persona series who could have been the next big RPG brand will fade into irrelevance
This is the nail on the coffin for Atlus, and for Japanese RPG in general. Time to move on something more interesting like Overwatch.
>>340346740
>watching lets plays
>>340346631
80's my ass, it still takes over six months to get Tales games, We're still waiting on some DQ games too.

Did AtlusUSA just sit around with their thumbs up their butts during these delays or something?

Keep dreaming PCfag, you'll never get to play this shit.
>>340346740
>Time to move on something more interesting
Or to learn Japanese.
>>340347148
When it comes up in my local store, I'll be the first fag to order it.
Ain't even mad.
>>340347138
At least it's eventually coming out, unlike FF Vs XIII.
>>340346953
That's also because Bamco doesn't give a fuck about the West when it comes to Tales and Square doesn't push anything in the West that's not Final Fantasy.
>>340347148
>dat everything
I actually a reason to look up to valentine's day now
First time in a while I actually pre-ordered something from Amazon.
Any predictions on who the English VAs will be?
>>340347417
Any hi-res pic for the steelbook cover ?
>>340347417
*Have a reason
>>340347148
>Another fucking CD with select songs instead of a full OST
Come on, ATLUS.
>>340347176
I was wondering if they were even given the damn first place. Did AtlusJP hand off any real assets during the delay phase?
>>340347417
So the steelbook comes in addition to the regular cover, right? Steelbooks are cool as an addition, but I like the regular cover a lot better in comparison.
>>340347517
This is the closest we have
>>340347176
I doubt they even have the game yet. Japan hates us even though we buy more copies of Persona then they do.
>>340347484

>>340347148
I'm at work atm, does it say if it'll include the costume dlcs?
>>340347725
It doesn't.
>>340347725
No mention of DLC at all anywhere, for any version. I'm sure the Western floodgates for P5 will open at E3 at last since we haven't had anything "official" since last E3.
>>340347417
>No replica Phantom Mask
One job, ATLUS.
>>340347725
Nope, huge letdown. bag looks ok and I think the soundtrack in the US one is nicer than the anniversary OST.
>>340343949
B-but what if I die? I just wanted to play P5 and Nier this year...
>>340347992
John hardin talked about the dlc on twitter/psblog
>>340347417
This collectors edition is worth it for that Plush, and bag at least.
>>340348020
As could as it would be, do you realise how stupid you would look wearing it?
>>340347636
It's the opposite for me. The regular cover is a mess, I don't like it. But I won't preorder anything this early, and I won't preorder at all if dual audio is not included.
>>340343949
>had P3 spoiled for me
>had P4 spoiled for me
>had P4:G spoiled for me
>implying I care about P5 being delayed
If it's an enjoyable title you really won't give a fuck. America got MGS2 many months in advance so EU knew everything, didn't stop it being fantastic.
>>340348143
>I won't preorder at all if dual audio is not included
I think that we're fuckes anon. I'm trying to accept it at this point.
>>340347417
ive got the p3 and 4 artbooks, i need to artbook to complete the collection. At least till the design works comes out
>>340348053
After all these delays I'm sure Atlus will find a way to prevent us westerners for getting the game. Maybe they'll use Trump winning the election as an excuse for cancelling the US version.
>>340348053
Should have learned Japanese, then you'd have only had to avoid dying for another few months. Now you've got even more opportunities to die before you can play and finish Persona 5.
>>340348143
Don't hold your breath for dual audio Anon. Hardin on twitter already confirmed that the game will be English based 100%.
Apparently, he's "lobbying" for DLC Japanese audio, but that smells like PR more than anything.
>>340343949
I guess it will probably be 6 months for AU/NZ. Just fucking kill me.
>>340348472
Do you have a link for those tweets? The DLC thing is giving me some hope.
Man, Sometimes I feel sorry for John Hardin. That poor bastard has to deal with borderline autistic weebs all fucking day on social media.
>>340343949
That sucks, but it's better to just come to terms that you'll get the game spoiled. And that's okay, if the game relies on some major twist, then it's probably for the best to have it spoiled anyway and just enjoy the little things in the game. For sure you can avoid little things if you avoid the threads for the game, but just know anyone here that if there is any big spoilers, they will be spammed everywhere for a while. So either come to terms with that now, or avoid this site for half a year.
>>340346268
Same. Like this fucking thing is seriously consuming a significant portion of my short life on this planet ffs
>>340348576
I honestly don't care about the dlc, I never used costumes anyway
>>340345070
I'm probably gonna do both since they say dungeon crawling will actually be fun now
>>340344347
Don't forget /a/, too. Anime coming out this year.
>>340348576
Just google John Hardin, and his twitter pops up. You should give it a quick read. There's some info. there that could be useful for ya.
>>340348871
I never browsed that place, anyway
>>340347417
>playstation 4 exclusive
for what purpose
>>340349012
lucky they didn't axe the PS3 version entirely considering how shitty the rest of today's news was
>>340349012
Don't expect the ps3 version to sell well enough to produce thousands of stuffed animals/bags.
>>340349012
For the purpose of saving money, and enticing people to buy a PS4.
>>340348472
If I had to choose between English voice only and Worldwide release, I would choose English only without hesitation.
But with a five month delay I think it's just fair that we get the option. Odin Sphere has it so Atlus cannot say it's impossible for them. If they don't include it the it's simply laziness, and I won't spend more money then necessary if that's the case.
>>340345374
it's just retards, ignore them
>>340347417
>PS3 version gets jack all
I'm glad we're still getting it, but come on.
>>340349253
I think your post really sums it all up. It already sucks that we get it so late, but without dual audio? The least they could fucking do with their extra months is fucking give us that of all things.
if any of you nips post spoilers before NA release you're getting nuked again
DUAL AUDIO OR WE RIOT
>>340347176
They were localizing plenty of other games with tons of text.
y-you'll still s-link me even after I get to rank 10 with hordes of nips and weeb importers before you right NA anon?
I've gone a decade avoiding P4 spoilers so this should be easy. Also I won't be reading any replies to this post so don't bother.
>>340349642
Haha, should have been born in Nippon, American.
>>340349689
Jokes on you, I'm gonna S-Link you to 10, fuck you, and ignore you for the rest of the game like I did withChie
So, when can we expect the inevitable undub?
>>340348228
>MGS2
>fantastic
really?
>>340349803
So close to the North American release, that you may as well not even bother unless you're a turbo autist about dubs.
>>340349803
After the american release.
>>340343949
>5 months later than Japan so everything will get spoiled

Another game I looked forward to that I now have to drop, I can always watch a youtube playthrough.
>>340347148
Fucking comfy
>>340347484
JYB aseveryone
>>340348228
Completley opposite for me, had I known all the twists and endings in P3 and P4 before playing them I would not have enjoyed them as much.
>>340349012
>>340344930
As long as they don't change anything in-game, I don't think this is a big deal.
>>340343949
It's like they know their target audience will have nothing to better to do that day, so they'll buy the game.
>>340350791
Yes I'm sure all the Overwatch players will have dates on that day too.
>>340343949
>152 days
The apathy is starting to set in. I've put to much energy into following this game for the last 6 years only to be met with more disappointment, more frustration with so little pay off.
I don't care anymore.
>>340343949
I
WANT
TO
DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE
I bought 4 collector's editions on Amazon, the Special Edition is going to run out so I can sell them for $200 when it releases, right?
>>340343949
>5 months after Japanese release
JUST don't go on /v/
Why aren't they including the DLC that is shipping with the Japanese collector's edition? Like why the fuck not? And is the CD going to be more than just 4-5 songs?
>5 months after Jap release
>special edition is PS4 only
This might actually be the first collectors edition to a game I ever buy. Its been years since the last persona and I've been following this games development for so long. It almost feels necessary.
This is all just a bad dream right? I'm ready to wake up now.
>>340351705
Buy both and then sell the PS4 copy. That's what I'm doing.
>>340351794
we're gonna steal back the release date at E3 desu
>>340351320
John said on twitter they wont be selling out.
>>340352274
Well fuck then. I'll just cancel the extra 3.
>>340344385
I actually have obligations and work that I have to do instead of staying at home all day and contributing nothing to society
So is E3 already over for P5 ? I know Soejima will be on stage but I was hoping for some new footage or something.
>Game releases in three months in Japan
>We never saw even one minute long of continuous gameplay footage
Atlus just doesn't want it to be successful.
>>340344385
>Learning a meme language.
No.
>>340352450
I doubt Soejima will be on a stage or anything. He'll be hanging out in a booth doing autographs or something.
You think Sony would have a character designer talk on stage about character designs? That's the last thing you do on stage at E3.
>>340347417
I kind of want it, but is it really worth it?
That's how long we waited for persona 4...
>>340352904
Which gave ample time for not only spoilers to run rampant, but for the game's main spoiler to become a meme.
>>340352450
Hardin said there will be something that gets everyone excited and makes the release date worth it. Sounds bullshit.
>Well, the biggest factor in the 2017 release date is attention to detail. When we show off Persona 5 at E3 next week (Next week!), I think you’ll understand what we mean.
>>340353070
>tfw they steal back the release date and it's simultanious
>>340351768
I know how you feel but there's so much I can tolerate.
I don't care about purchasing goods or artbooks that I can download if the essentials feature of the game are lacking, mainly the option to choose which language I want to play the game, as a compensation for an outrageous five month delay.
>>340353025
Don't go on sites where people spoil things for fun then?
>>340352904
Persona's fanbase has blown up exponentially since then. Just because that was "fine" back then, doesn't mean it's fine now.
>>340353313
>compensation for an outrageous five month delay.
Seriously, fucking this. No worldwide/holiday release? Fine. Or worldwide/holiday release, but English only, fine. But both shitty circumstances? No, fuck off, if we don't get one, we should get the other.
What website doesn't? Also MGSV spoilers were floating around every relevant website.
>>340353605
I didn't see any spoilers for mgsv anywhere but /v/.
If you don't want to be spoiled, don't go where people talk about persona. You aren't helpless.
>>340352781
well considering its only 30$ extra it sorta depends how much you want the artbook or plush. I don't really think the bag is worth it. At least normal ps4 versions get the book
In the same way MGSV made you feel the Phantom Pain by removing Chapter 3, Persona 5 will make you feel like one of the Phantom Thieves by making you stealthily avoid spoilers for 5 months.
>>340344930
They should go with a different cover desu. It looks bad because you can see all characters' torsos, but you can only see Ann's face. It's just not good-looking.
>>340354812
>Implying anyone cares
It's English only, coming out half a year after the Japanese release in the current year, not 2008, and all the story details we've heard for the last year have made the game seem worse and worse.
JUST
>have to wait 8 and half more months
>then have to wait for the undub after that
G-Reco wasn't bad, but it sums up perfectly why Tomino's direction is so off-putting for a western audience. Characters were behaving like a class of special needs children, and it was overly colorful and silly with cartoon sounds effects in the middle of battles.
Tomino somehow still live in a world where the main audience for robot anime are children, which hasn't been the case since the early 90's. He's both touching and anachronic.
>>340343949
Why would this happen? why cant either sega or sony help out and make things go faster? how does no one realize this will be the first jrpg worth playing in years and treat it so bad?
>>340344930
what if instead of them trying to hide the cleavage, it was actually done to hide that ridiculously long neck?
>>340344930
JPN cover wtih ESRB logo.
God forbid your centimeter of cleavage gets covered up so lil cat dude is actually on the cover.
Don't even care anymore. Way too many delays and "We promise this time!" along with months after Japan and again no dual audio.
The marketing for P5 has been AWFUL.
>>340355613
>>340346378
>a piece of software on a Sony platform
>ever coming out in time
Kek bur lol, they always do this to make the platform seem more valuable than it actually is.
>>340355769
Play more games. Persona fucking sucks
>>340355769
yeah, it really buggles the mind. if we didn't know any better you'd think they WANT us to buy FFXV in the meantime. maybe square bribed them into delaying it again. they really, really fucked up.
>>340356207
JRPGs as a whole suck ass but persona is one of the best. If youre telling me to play neptunia shovelware and other garbage youre crazy
:^I
>>340344385
>Any logical reason you don't know Japanese?
besides the fact that it requires hundreds of hours of genuine work?
>>340356001
This, I don't even give a fuck about this game anymore honestly, with the controversy on the cover art being such a small change, I wonder myself if shit like that will carry on into the game itself.
But seriously no one gives a fuck about cover art thats the most nitpicky problem to care about but whatever it's still a "lmao bravo FATLUS" kinda thing.
The real issue is waiting 8 more goddamn months of this game and then 5 of those months having to dodge spoilers. Not to mention the absolute garbage collectors edition shit.
I'm just done I don't care fuck you Atlus.
>>340356630
welp, I'll never make fun of europeans for not importing
>>340356630
You did good anon
>>340349012
Jews. But I am glad that there'll be a ps3 version at all. And physical too. Even though there's no bonuses, they could've gone digital only on ps3 and that would've sucked.
>>340344930
They moved it because the cats head would have been blocked by the rating logo since it's bigger than the Japanese one.
I only know kana and grammar, can I learn enough to play the game at release?
This is fucking bullshit. The sales of P4 even dwarfed the Japanese market. This shit has gone on long enough, it's unacceptable. Many companies have shown that a worldwide release is doable, and for games like these to continually follow this bullshit trend is retarded.
>>340344385
I know Japanese, and I would say I'm pretty comfortable with it after four years of learning formally with studying in independent time. That said, playing a game where there is constant dialog and text gets really tiring on the mind. I don't know how to describe it, other than to say it's like trying to follow a conversation when you are high.
Reminder : That Atlus is going to try it's hardest to block all spoilers in the West.
That only makes me want to spam them on every site harder
>>340360838
>Reminder : That Atlus is going to try it's hardest to block all spoilers in the West.
Source? Their PR manager doesn't give a shit about spoilers.
>>340359261

>actually believed it until I finally played the game and realized the truth
Boy, those were the days. Fake spoilers are better than real ones, especially when someone can make them convincing
Why don't they pull a digimon and just have English sub with Japanese audio? Nobody even likes the English dub.
>>340362000
Then you have no chance. Not trying to be rude, but just stating the facts. There is no hope for you to be prepared for a game like P5 by September. You won't be prepared to understand more complex texts like that for years.
>>340343949
They need that time to make some shitty cheap dub they'll force on the western release
>>340362000

>>340356630
Why do you have Prime for US if you don't live there? Seems a bit pointless to me. I'm a Prime member in the UK, and I wish we got the same discounts for preordering games...

It takes time to cens-localize the game. Be patient.
>>340355987
who cares about the fucking lil cat dude, no one ever is more important than boobs you fag.
>>340346268
Same here. Ive waited so long and had to endure so much disappointment with each new information the hype is gone
>>340344132
You better I will spoil every pleb supporting Atlus USA.
Since I know all Persona fanboys leaving /v/ for 6 months would be too good to be true, I hope people spoil the story for you insufferable faggots.
>>340364312
I'm gonna try to avoid them, but if I do I'm gonna spoil the shit out of it for whoever I can. Fuck Censorna.
>>340363726
I don't have a computer, but I barely remember it now. The most complex thing I would've been able to write would've been something like
Anata wa kuso o tabette kudasai.
I also knew comparative sentences at some point.
>>340362031
you might've talked to my brother
he made up a plot about how the tv world was nanako's manifestation of her psyche since she was always watching it and that the gas station attendent was some form of elder god (which was partly true)
Is there any DLC English translation for this shit?
I don't give a fuck about english dub or dual audio.
>>340365554
>>340362031
>>340365718
What I am hoping for is online translations. Seem like people translate the script shortly after release.
Localization is a BS excuse for this delay they knew since Feb 2014 that they had to do this English version. The pricing in different markets is the real reason since the PS3 version costs $80 US in Japan and $50 US in the USA. Plus there is the added bonus of having high paying beta testers before releasing in the larger western markets

I'm resigned to spoilers. Because I know it will be filler until *Insert Deity here appears.
>>340366635
Is it ok to hope for this?
Who /redirecting their hype to Caligula/ here?
>>340367901
Since they're are releasing a PS3 version hopefully ripping the script directly from the game won't be too hard. It's a harder to get someone willing to translate when a proper version will be readily available in 5 months.
The best chance of playing the English version this year is if you're one of the lucky reviewers that Atlus gives a copy to as they like to give reviewer a fair chance to complete their games for a review so unlike most studios that will go gold like 1 month before releasing they prefer to go gold 2 months a head of time especially in the case of persona with the game take plus 80 hours to finish. There is also the minor chance that they show up at PSX with a demo
>>340351593
>Why aren't they including the DLC
laziness/incompetence
>is the CD going to be more than just 4-5 songs?
CD is probably going to be 15 or so songs
