I'm down with indies and stuff but when you have a quality game like this all too yourself... move over little guys lol.

It's not like they're gonna have a separate conference or can go to another console showing. Sony knows the popularity of this series with fans, it'd be silly not to have it

Unfortunately Sony only has eyes for destiny and uncharted. I'm hoping persona 5 gets more than a trailer as well as zero time dilemma.
That's all I'm asking for.
Well, they're obviously not going to be teasing this to show the exact same trailer again. If anything, it'd at least have English voices, and that alone would be a big deal.
And that's all we ask for.

Doubtful. The e3 announcement was made by Atlus JP, and even placed a teaser on their Japanese Web page. I think it's safe to assume this means it'll include something new to cater to the Japanese audience too.

The game is so goddamn stylish that it's guaranteed to grab people's attention, even if they had never heard of the series. It looks like almost nothing else on the market AND it's a Playstation exclusive. Sony would be foolish not to feature it.
I think it's still noteworthy that PV04 didn't showcase the last male character at all, with the DLC previews even having his face completely blocked by text boxes. As such, there's still one more of the Phantom Thief Crew to "reveal" to the Japanese audience come E3, which would be why this event would be of any note to them.
...Of course, this also means that they will have to officially acknowledge all other party members revealed so far for the English audience, which is notable since as of right now the USA Persona website doesn't even have anybody on it except the protagonist.
I'd definitely bet that we're narrowing in on a close release; maybe not simultaneous but definitely somewhere in the realm of Fall/Winter 2016 (For NA), and that whatever is happening at E3 will be something that we'll all get to enjoy, if they hold it to the level that they have for the previous Japanese events.

Sony will give 10 minutes to FFXV and then just show a logo for P5 in some random slide!
They, uh, probably do not want to avoid showing skin given the powder keg around "censorship" in JRPGs lately.
More reasonably, a lot of the undercurrent regarding Persona 5's western presence seemed to imply that a lot of outlets did want to showcase Persona 5, but Atlus Japan themselves just weren't willing or ready to do so and, when they did, it was mainly through their own independent venues. Now, with this, it's obvious that they're embracing the event with open arms, which means that wall is now gone.
There's also the fact that Sony could put up a very interesting position by combining Persona 5, Final Fantasy XV, Nier Automata, etc. at their conference.

2016 and beyond games montage video with a small glimpse of persona 5 in there. that's all we'll get.

Not if Microsoft is showing FFXV as their conference
Square-Enix will want to dominate both, so exclusive footage for each! ;P
That would encroach on the time that's assuredly going to Destiny: Expansion Pack 2, Watch Dogs 2, NBA 2K17, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Nah, P5 will get a proper trailer ( or this trailer in English ) with a release date.
I still expect it to be in the game. I just meant they should avoid it for mass market trailers. That said, I expect this to be a new-ish trailer since it's being advertised in Japan too.

P5! ...Delayed to 2017! But here's a trailer and the final character!
There'd be riots, like if GabeN announced Half Life 3 would be a mobile game.

E3 is saved
E3 is more than just conferences. Maybe they have a playable demo there.
I do agree with the sentiment that it's not gonna have that much stage presence.

Well yeah, but the discussion was about the conferences specifically? Seems like a weird thing to point out given the context.
Hello... I'm willing to pay my debt my old friend and rival.
The results screen has got to be the most unique thing I've seen in a while. I've always wondered why RPG parties just stand there and pose for 30 seconds after a heated battle.
The P5 MC has the right idea, signaling for them to get moving and shit. Love it.
Also, it looks like the blond dude was attempting to pose, but the MC was like "we ain't got time for that shit bruh"

Since the JP release date it's been delayed a month and a week if we put that summer in japan goes from May 7th to August 8th... and it's gonna be released Sep 15th...
if the US release date is delayed too if it was scheluded for 2016... thinking that may have been aimed for a Dec 2016. In the worst scenario it should be released before February 15th 2017... (that being Dec 31st the previous release date)
I just have faith that we are gonna get it in the US this year since the localization must be almost done.

Summer goes to the end of September. This isn't a delay.
If it's not in a trailer, the extremely calm and rational people will decide it's not in the game, and proceed to harass Atlus employees on Twitter. Not a situation they want to be in, I think.

I expect a December release date.
And since it isn't a nintendo game, Atlus can respond whether that's the case or not. They even bothered explaining the localized 'Apocalypse' title.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!
I really love the way this game looks but unfortunately it is turn based. I never get turn based ( partially because it looks goofy as hell which is why I never tried it in all my years of gaming since the SNES era ) and it is probably to late for me to get the genre.
What a bummer

Never too late to get into a genre. Plus, SMT series is my favorite turn-based gaming with battles feeling more involved with targetting weaknesses, buffing/debuffing for bosses, and uh....other stuff I just enjoy more in SMT games which Persona's apart of.
Plus, if you just want the story, they'll have a super-easy mode you could probably just about auto-battle through.
People said the same thing last year haha. E3 is far more western focused, and this game appeals most to the Japanese market. I know people have it in their heads that this game can 'break through' into the more mainstream audience, but I really don't know if Sony and Atlus feel the same way. You can crap on indies, but I think they have probably more of a western flavor than this game most of the time. But we'll see I guess, it would be cool to have it at Sony's conference.

The sounds of Sony having a JRPG-rich conference makes me feel tingly inside :3
