Just got the Atlus faithful newsletter, dated the day P2: Innocent Sin was released in Japan. Good news incoming?

Luigi87 · (05-19-2011, 09:29 PM)

*was checking around to post this, and was too slow*

June 23rd be looking good

hosannainexcelsis · (05-19-2011, 09:29 PM)

Ooooh, I get it now. I was completely baffled as to what this email could mean, but it seems like good news! Clever, Atlus, clever.

scy · (05-19-2011, 09:31 PM)

I'm imagining this going over many people's heads, to be honest. Or maybe not since it does kind of stand out.

"Absolutely no new games releasing today in Japan" made me laugh though.

Princess Skittles · (05-19-2011, 09:32 PM)

Netscape, LOL.

rainking187 · (05-19-2011, 09:32 PM)

Kind of weird they're teasing it now, I figured this would be an E3 announcement.

cool_trainer · (05-19-2011, 09:32 PM)

Oh ok, I was confused by the email. Checked to make sure the y2k bug didn't break my computer.

=HERO= · 09:35 PM

The whole newsletter is funny, with a "fan editorial" on Which is Better?: Playstation or Nintendo 64, and news pieces on Ogre Battle 64 and Tail Concerto.

And really, "Looks like there really isn't anything new out in Japan to talk about"...what else can it be?

Actually, the wiki page has it releasing as the 24th, but I can't see the source for that. It still can only apply to P2.

drtomoe123 · 09:36 PM

Yeah, just got this and thought the same thing.

Day one.

"Last time, we asked you, "Is there anything you regret that you wish you could go back and redo?"

hahaha.

teasing = announcement now?

Zero-Crescent · (05-19-2011, 09:34 PM)

Oh no, Y2K is coming back for revenge!

Everyone seems to know what they're hinting at, are they really going to hold off officially announcing it for another three weeks?

Baron · (05-19-2011, 09:36 PM)

Just got this email, thought it was hilarious. Very clever.

BlazingDarkness · (05-19-2011, 09:36 PM)

I lol'd

same, I was sure there had to be a reason I just didn't know what it was

shidoshi · (05-19-2011, 09:38 PM)

Gotta love Atlus and the effort they put into things like this.

They could, but they'll probably do some sort of "unveiling" of it at E3, if anything. Like announce it and say "you'll first see it at our E3 booth." Or whatever.

Totally, all this effort just to insert a joke about "oooh, there's nothing coming out the week of June 23 1999, of course not!"

Femmeworth · (05-19-2011, 09:41 PM)

This is so brilliant. <3 Atlus

Tail Concerto 2 as well?

creid · (05-19-2011, 09:41 PM)

Quick - some tiny website needs to ask Atlus if they're releasing this, so they can say they have "No plans." The internet can freak out about/misunderstand it, and Atlus will have to quickly follow up with a real announcement. Just like with Catherine!

geebee · (05-19-2011, 09:44 PM)

Good news. Persona 2 is the best in the series by far.

Akselziys · (05-19-2011, 09:45 PM)

So excited for the advent of Persona 2 Innocent Sin in the west :D <3

Jomjom · (05-19-2011, 09:45 PM)

So that's what the email was about. I deleted because I was confused as all heck.

Mileena · (05-19-2011, 09:48 PM)

Is Persona 2 a dating sim like 3 and 4?

Nope.

Extreeeeeemely excited for this release, counting on Atlus to keep the ridiculously awesome JPN boxart.

JEKKI · (05-19-2011, 09:49 PM)

Y2Karnov's Revenge!!

Lucentto · (05-19-2011, 09:51 PM)

Expected.

Chacranajxy · (05-19-2011, 09:51 PM)

I dont think anyone's surprised it's coming out... I can't wait. This is honestly my most anticipated rpg for the foreseeable future.

M_Night · (05-19-2011, 09:51 PM)

Cant wait for this.

I really love the PSP versions opening.

Could not have said it better myself.

Someone break out the shaded Fuhrer.

Also, no Saturn? Fail. Atlus even had Saturn games!

Uh. One or two.

Would it really make sense to announce a PSP game at E3? It would likely get lost in the coverage of everything else...

Augemitbutter · (05-19-2011, 09:55 PM)

to whoever came up with that newsletter. you guys better buy this game, it's seriously awesome.

pretty much anything Atlus would announce is going to get "lost" in the coverage of everything else

I'll buy it day 1 on PSN

Akselziys · (05-19-2011, 09:58 PM)

Soooo hyped to buy it day -1 :D

Let the grinding for tarot cards and personas' rank begins again .

Even though I beat the game with the fan translation, I think I will buy this only to support Atlus.

<3<3 Ginko and Michelle!

cj_iwakura · (05-19-2011, 09:59 PM)

Let's get down to brass tacks, people.

Michel or Michelle? There's only one correct answer.

Glix · (05-19-2011, 10:00 PM)

Ha, there aren't enough trollfaces in the world for that Star Wars review.

"Our staff's favorite part was the 12 minute podrace" - Haha not funny. Seeing that movie is the lowest I've ever felt in my life.

AgentOtaku · (05-19-2011, 10:01 PM)

lol, yeah got this email and was a bit confused

Michel, of course. Why are people using "Michelle"?

Dedication Through Light · (05-19-2011, 10:04 PM)

I was and am honestly confused at that email. Though this means its time to put Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 aside and boot up P1P again to get ready for P2.

Even though Michelle is a name for a girl, I think it fits better for him. Lisa will also be able to call him out on that in the US release :) .

No. The writing is generally better than P3 and P4 as well.

I always thought it was because it was derived from "Mishina."

How do you, personally, pronounce "Michel"?

agreed. P3 and P4 prove that character development and personality can happen to a fault.

though the gameplay in P1 and both P2 games is too outdated for me to enjoy.
