Atlus posted a blog post about the name change and localization.

not surprised at the normal atlus tax :')

Eolz · Apr 14, 2016

RIP Europe.
Thanks Atlus.

That said, interesting that the english localization is that quick.
Good title too.

Busaiku · Apr 14, 2016

Finally.

I assume we will get some kind of first print bonus again.

Clov · Apr 14, 2016

Excellent news! I was a bit worried about this one, but I'm glad to see that it's making it over.

Edit: That CAD price... ouch. I'm really going to have to hope I can get this as part of Amazon's E3 sale.

random25 · Apr 14, 2016

Yaaaaassss!

And the price is so high, as usual Atlus. Gonna buy regardless.

DXB-KNIGHT · Apr 14, 2016

Wow didn't expect that

kulapik · Apr 14, 2016

Awesome! Oh, never mind, I'm in Europe

mugurumakensei · Apr 14, 2016

Yes. God Bless Atlus and being in North America.

KingBroly · Apr 14, 2016

Cool

*Sees price tag

Not cool

Good subtitle. Will get.

But so many games this summer >.<

diaspora · Apr 14, 2016

SIXTY FIVE CANADIAN DOLLARS

robotzombie · Apr 14, 2016

good lord another rpg this summer, what the hell is happening

BiggNife · Apr 14, 2016

I can kinda understand the name change. FINAL made it sound like a director's cut of SMT4 instead of a sequel.

e: Box art:

hupla · Apr 14, 2016

Still really need to play The first SMT4 but I'm glad to see this is coming over so quickly. It's gonna motivate me to get through the first over the summer

haendeul · Apr 14, 2016

I'll just mark November 2018 in my calendar for Europe then.

Nice to finally see an English confirmation though!

Joqu · Apr 14, 2016

Well, ok, I'm in europe so this is pretty frustrating

But I was REALLY getting worried about Final's localization so yeah, great news. For once.

Funyarinpa · Apr 14, 2016

Yaaay!

Oh wait, I forgot 3DS' bullshit region lock

Ludger Kresnik · Apr 14, 2016

It's a proper Atlus title, so maybe NISA have us poor Eurosouls covered on this one.

Or maybe we have to wait over a year for an eShop only release again.

Or maybe we're just not getting it at all idk

Azuran · Apr 14, 2016

YES!

And I just finished the neutral path in the original last night. This is so perfect.

Aaronrules380 · Apr 14, 2016

Finally an announcement. Also, dat Atlus tax

BossDarkseid · Apr 14, 2016

Sigh.

Rip EU, existed never according to Atlus

By the time this comes to Europe it will legit be the apocalpyse...

FluxWaveZ · Apr 14, 2016

skLaFarebear · Apr 14, 2016

Fucking finally. Can't wait to play it!

Yo93 · Apr 14, 2016

So 2018 in Europe and digital only.
Kill me.

Abstrusity · Apr 14, 2016

I liked SMT4 but I hate persona :/

My favorite part was when I felt Chaos was the best clear choice until I realized what, exactly, that'd mean. That was a really good thing to feel.

SliceSabre · Apr 14, 2016

Seeing the Atlus tax price means I'll probably hold off a bit on this. Glad to see it coming out soon though.

hosannainexcelsis · Apr 14, 2016

Finally they say something. I was getting worried there. Pricey, but that's to be expected.

robotrock · Apr 14, 2016

Cool, I hope there's another Atlus game coming to North America Summer 2016 as well.

Any word of a Fire Emblem promo?

freeofgreed · Apr 14, 2016

Glad too see that Atlus tax is still a thing.

I really need to hurry up and start my neutral play through of the original before this thing comes out.

jello44 · Apr 14, 2016

Woop woop

Tokyo here I come.

SmiteOfHand · Apr 14, 2016

This will be published by Sega, even if only by name, correct?

Don't see a Sega logo on the boxart, interesting. Curious to see how this transition plays out.

Kensuke · Apr 14, 2016

Europe.

Nyoro SF · Apr 14, 2016

Heh, the Atlus tax strikes again. I thought maybe they'd hold back since the 3DS is in its later years.

MatrixMan.EXE · Apr 14, 2016

Looking forward to playing this in 2019.

Aeana · Apr 14, 2016

Yay~~~
Thanks, Atlus, and sorry for busting chops the last couple of weeks. It's what I do.

themagicalkitsune · Apr 14, 2016

Yeah guys like you said it was totally dead :lol

Summer too? That's great news.

sixteen-bit · Apr 14, 2016

Thrilled that it's getting localized.

I gotta finish SMT4 lol

TWILT · Apr 14, 2016

lmao I was just talking about this last night with a friend.

Great news...though that CAD price hurts...

Clive · Apr 14, 2016

Finally! Hopefully a sequel to the best JRPG this gen can get me back into the genre. It shall be mine.

Jb · Apr 14, 2016

Hell yeah! I was a little afraid it was going to be a digital only release.

Time to finally install that homebrew region free thingie so I don't have to wait two years to play it

Isotope · Apr 14, 2016

First Dragon Quest VII this Summer, then Tokyo Mirage Sessions, now Apocalypse? Not to mention the myriad of games still to come out these next few months? How am I gonna find time to play all these games?

Eolz · Apr 14, 2016

Imagine if it's released in EU after Nintendo's next handheld.

Why the :/? Not really something to feel bad about.

I knew it wasn't dead, I was just busting chops for the silence.

wmlk · Apr 14, 2016

65 CAD?

Atlus tax only applies to 3DS.

GasProblem · Apr 14, 2016

Haven't played SMTIV yet. Might wait for this to come out in Europe. I'd be sad for no EU release date, but with Dragon Quest, Pokemon, FFXV and Persona 5 it's not like I have nothing else to play haha.

Ibuki · Apr 14, 2016

I added it to the OP, but Atlus posted a blog post about the name change and localization.
