A fellow gamer in the office down the hall is. He's really hyped for it too. Doesn't look like it's a huge downgrade or anything, so he'll probably enjoy it just as much as I will on my PS4.

I will get the PS3 version because it's cheaper and not a big downgrade from PS4 version.
If that's true it's a bit surprising. If the game came out in 2014 I would've expected as much, but for something that came out end of 2016, I kind of assumed a lot of work and time went into improving the graphics and visuals for the PS4 version.
Not that it really matters. 720p or 1080p, I'm just glad to have a new Persona game in a few weeks.

I was worried about the digital version too since I'm in Japan, but someone on Reddit contacted Atlus through e-mail and they responded saying the US PS3 version should be up on PSN right around release.
10-30 fps sounds horrible still. and you should still get the game and support Atlus, they're not scumbags like most in the industry, so don't be one yourself
You'd still need to buy the game to play in emulator, so how would one be a scumbag?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Whelp ... if this info on the megami tensei wiki is correct, you don't need to do anything extra for cheats. Just start the game in Safety mode.

"The game was developed for the PS3."
And?
"Much like Persona 4 for the PS2, this is likely going to be one of the last if not THE last PS3 games of note."
If a person owns both PS4 and PS3 who would buy it on PS3 just because of the reason "it's one of PS3 last game" makes no sense
"Differences are negligible, mainly load time related."
720p compared to 1080p is a massive difference 720p in comparison is hella blurry and soft also seems higher AF on PS4 and yes loading times improvements in this game is a big plus too because of how many loadings this game has between many transitions etc it can total up to alot of time throughout playthrough
"The black header just looks cooler."
Lol what 😂
"It's cheaper."
Reasonable though only slightly cheaper for a worser version makes sense and of course it's not like the PS4 version won't ever go down in price too..
Some strange reasons bruh like your trying hard to tempt yourself and others forget PS4 focus on PS3 only lol

Heh, can't do that with the PS4 version either. It's on tight lockdown.

Easy workarounds with external devices no biggie
Oh man, what is it with Japanese developers and locking down ability to stream/capture?

For those interested, here's some screenshots from the JP version to compare the 2 versions, sourced from Siliconera.
I can *totally* see myself being A-OK with the PS3 version, the difference honestly isn't that much owing to the game's art style.. But then I have a Pro, so Boost Mode and my recent USB SSD will make the load times non existent which is always better for a seamless experience.
Top one's are PS4, bottom PS3 for each set.

PS4 is a good investment for Japanese games though

Can't go back to 720p if I have a choice.
It's unfortunate but it was clear in the import thread that one of the few issues people had were the graphics. It's incredibly stylish sure, but that doesn't mean there's crisp texture work. At 1080p that just becomes more apparent.
If you have a general interest in Japanese gaming... yeah, PS4 kind of is a good idea! TK is flaky on PC, and a bunch of stuff like this and Nioh won't be on PC, not soon anyway.
Maybe we'll luck out and see a bunch of stuff hit Switch too, but they're more solo console focused still.
Eh? You can easily see differences in the youtube comparison video. The differences aren't HUGE. But they are noticeable.
In short, the PS4 version has a different way of handling lighting and the textures are quite a bit more crisp. Certain details also seem to be a little bit more colorful. The PS4 rendering pipeline is probably using less compression.
I actually kind of prefer the lighting model on the PS3 version. Its more bloomy and glowy, matches the Anime cutscenes a bit better.
The PS3 version looks very good. But the texture quality on the PS4 is undeniably more crisp.
I will be getting the PS3 version, because I don't have a PS4. And the PS3 version looks very good, I don't feel bad about it, at all.

I was going to, but my PS3 died so I had no choice but to get a PS4.

Just to save $10? I'd rather wait for sale.

I'm getting it on PS3.
There's a novelty to buying this game as a swansong for a decade old console, and it is a PS3 game that was only ported to the PS4, after all.

Persona 5 is what was keeping me from selling my PS4 (I did not use it anymore), but after multiple delays I ended getting rid of it. Now that somebody has offered to lend me a PS3, looks like I will be going with this version.
