Happenstance Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 At least you can just import the US version of the game. Well, we hope. Hopefully with Sega involved now there wont be any region locking like we got with P4A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 You'd have to get any DLC you wanted from the US store, but if you can manage that you're okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 US release date has been announced as 14th Feb 2017. I can't see this going down well. Sorry, Persona fans: you won’t be dating new waifus and husbandos until next year. Atlus announced today that Persona 5 will be out in North America on February 14, 2017. That’s five months after Japan gets the fifth Persona, and it might come as a bummer to North American gamers who hoped to go on cat burglary dates this year. On the plus side, at least now we have plenty of time for FFXV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Hm, I don't think I had any particular expectation of it arriving much sooner than that. Localization for such script heavy games takes time. A date to look forward is better than not knowing, and it's only 8 months away I'll be far more disappointed in a few months when we hear about all the censorship >_> Edited June 7, 2016 by Shorty script not text, VAs have feelings too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not fussed at all as i'm not a fan of the series but I can see where the angered fans are coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 S-E are a lot bigger and know their products will sell no matter what, they can afford to fund localization before they know whether they've got a product that will definitely sell overseas, so their script writers probably work with their western counterparts from the get-go. Despite that, the process probably pushes the worldwide release back by a margin, whereas this approach keeps the Japanese release forward. People, even fans, should stop acting so unreasonably entitled. Nobody's out there planning ways to piss their audience off, it works out the way it has to, and the game will be here eventually....

True. Although, I imagine Persona would be a hit for Atlus given how popular the series since the release of 4. Surely Atlus know this? I was gonna say that Atlus are hardly handling things by themselves, what with being part of Sega and all, but Sega seemed to be very hands off when it comes to Atlus stuff. Very baffling arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Persona 5 footage will be streamed next week. Atlus will host a Persona 5 E3 special live stream on June 15 at 5:00 a.m. PT / 8:00 a.m. ET / 21:00 JST, the company announced. The Japanese live stream, dubbed “Uncover the Phantom Thieves,” promises the release of a “classified video” and the revelation of new information. You’ll be able to watch it live on Niconico.

Shorty Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 They have to know that any delay beyond a week or two after the US release will mean sales lost to importers. They'll be doing their best to get it as early as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
