All your efforts.
the party/conversation recruitment system from p2:ep was so very great (and a necessary alternative to combat on occasion) - a revisit/expansion of the idea would be fine.Reilly said:
it's possible i'll be through p3 before this releases - that'd be nice. i'm not sure how keen i am if this is a remix of all of the art assets in p3 though - i feel like i've wrung just about all i want to from these designs.
of course, the number of must-have-console-rpgs on my radar is pretty small right now...

If this is true, it's awesome. And totally weird. But still awesome.

FES is already out in Japan.fernoca said:I bet is probabl ysome mistake..either it is Persona 3 FES..or something like that, even more...just like Bioshock coming to the PS3..and things like that..
Oh well..who knows... ;p
Yeah, but not in the US..XiaNaphryz said:
I don't know..is just too weird and too sudden, for a series that they were not planning to release any more sequels after Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, to now get "the yealry treatment"....or maybe the mistake is in the console..or is just uses the same engine from P3...
Alts said:
Yeah, DDS was even worse. It was one big game split into two on purpose to gain more sales. Too bad it backfired in Japan, because they didn't tell the people buying the first one that it was actually a two-parter. They got to the end and when the sequel was announced they went "FUCK THIS SHIT!" :lol

Unless you have a 40 GB PS3, I don't see how this could be a bad thing.

It wasn't specifically mentioned whether it's for the US or not, so we have to assume they're referring to the Japanese market since it's a Japanese article on Bloomberg's Japanese site, especially if it specifically said Persona 4.fernoca said:
Holy crap! Go away for a morning and all sorts of craziness ensue. Persona 4 is great news, and given how much I loved P3, I'm really looking forward to playing the next installment. I hope Atlus is as willing to shake the formula up next time, too.

A simultaneous translation would be a very good idea on this one, Atlus.

Well if Atlus is indeed in a holding pattern and continuing to support the PS2 then hopefully we will see an announcement for a North American release of Fes soon.

Moreover, I think that Persona currently has the highest visibility that any of the SMT games have had for a while. Popular game + expansion + anime & manga adaptations in Japan and hitting most of the RPG of the Year nominations in the US. They might as well capitalize on the popularity while they can.

Yup, a Wii version for me would mean:
-Better chance of US release as the PS2 market is starting to drop off big time (especially in Japan, which makes this announcement less sensical), and by the time a P4 English translation would be ready, the PS2 will be virtually dead aside from maybe a few licensed games for preschoolers.
-Almost definitely be 16:9 and 480p.
-No more using annoying Dual Shock (always hated that controller).

I just finished Persona 3 last week and found all 95 hours of it absolutely riveting. The structure of the game was unique and cool, but still, I hope P4 isn't another life sim/random dungeon crawler, they should shake things up again. Maybe they can focus on the gameplay, story, and art since the team is already so familiar with the technical stuff on the PS2 platform.
Yeah, I have a PS3 and 360 and I'm sure a next gen SMT would look and play awesome. But that would be an expensive game for a limited audience, and I REALLY don't want to see R&D1 go belly up from financial difficulties.

On the topic of the wiimake, it's probably the only likely way we will see Persona 4 released in North America given the timeframe for its Japanese release. Personally I don't care which platform(s) it comes out on so long as it comes out here at all, which should be everyone's chief concern.

Oho, it's a bit early for another Persona, but I guess it's best to strike while the iron's hot, so to speak. Hmmm, oh, I wonder if this means it'll come to Wii as well... might make sense.

We still dont have a real confirmation, do we? who is Bloomberg? And RPGFan has messed up in news a few times. Would be sweet if true, I dont have any nextgen consoles cept a DS..

Already!? Jeez Atlus, give a guy a break. I'm not even close to being even half way done with P3, not to mention we don't even have FES yet.
RPGCrazied said:
Bloomberg is a major financial news firm; this post in question is an article noting a major jump in their stock due to their licencing for the Japanese market the Chinese MMORPG "Perfect World" and their consumer games division returning to a profitable status after a period of losses. The 2HH20 (as of their rather odd numbering system) release news is given as an explanation of their expected continued good fortune in that segment.

AMan, brotha'. Although, like everyone else, I too wish this was going to something other than PS2. Z'oh well.

Will we see it state side though? I'm assuming not. By the time they localize it it'll be 2009 and I don't see it getting published at that point? Who knows.
