Nah, I prefer a steelbook. A slip case seems cheap to me.

I get that but event hen I think it was stated by atlus several times that the western version would release in the same year as the original.
i hate that i'm thinking of the year 2017 now. i need that fuckin shit off my mindFucccckkkkk I forgot about Mass Effect
2017 is stacked already.
haven't paid much attention to nintendo stuff but yeah, add it to the list.

Bruh. Our games have literal penis demons in them. The closest an ATLUS game has ever come to a mainstream success previously is Catherine, which, well. Just google "Catherine ATLUS" and you'll get the point. I think you can relax a bit.
Oh, and before you throw #FE in my face, remember: ATLUS is the publisher of Persona 5. Atlus is NOT the publisher of #FE.

Welp, 2 games I want now in Feb 2017, Persona 5 and Horizons. 
I dunno man. Nichijou is my favorite comedic slice of life show.
The principle is Atlus fans trying to get P5 in this scenario.
Nichijou is literally above and beyond any anime I've seen in terms of enjoyment. Too damn good.
I've had people who hate anime just watch it and love it.

So if we don't hear about a TLG date before the conference it's save to say 2016 is a lock!
Don't often see PR jump into a thread and directly address people's question. You must really like your job (or maybe you are just browsing GAF at work like me lol).
Gravity Rush as well

To each their own.I find the slip case novel.
As long as this one doesn't look like crap I don't care either way.

although i don't agree that there's a scourge of games being changed or held back in NA due to SJW activity and what not, can we not do the thing where we put someone on the spot to provide a list of examples and then when he/she can't we chest beat and claim victory?
probably best saved for PM's where replies won't get lost in the crowd because lists and sources cant just be whipped up with the snap of fingers and provided while everyone is still in the thread.
as for the boxart, it looks like morgana was obscured by the little box in the JP version too, but for all we know they ended up regretting that and decided to make sure nothing was covered for the NA version? although at the same time, it's not out in JP yet so they could still change it to match NA's if they don't like it. i don't think it's as big of a deal or warranting being considered censorship.
Don't worry, we can pass the time with SMT IV: Apocalypse

Why are EU people complaining so much? I mean unless they pull a Persona 4 Arena can't you just buy the US version from Amazon?

So whats the best options for importing fro US to EU?
Could do PSN if it came to it but I want a steelbox

Actually no I hadn't been following the game very closely. I've just seen the gameplay footage shown so far and it looks indeed big and very varied.

Hardin is watching this thread and the community thread. I'd message/quote him.
1. As you said, there's the infamous case of Persona 4 Arena.
2. People don't like having to import their games.
3. People don't like being treated like second class costumers.
It's absolutely baffling that someone has to explain this all the time.
Really ?
Yeah fuck us right? Just buy your products from another country what's the problem?
says someone who is still totally gonna import from the US

I'm ok with this so long as FFXV doesn't budge from its 2016 date. Two long JPRGS too close together was kinda a bit much for me.
Still....remember when people thought this was a 2015 game hahahaha.

I imagine that this is what the people at Atlus are thinking
I'm only half joking
sadly
To be fair, though, it's still a long time until the actual release, so I shall remain cautiously optimistic in regards to a European release.

This.
The whole gen has been "medium-term future is looking great!". Now we are about to enter a kinda sorta new console gen, and the Ps4/Xbox One have not had a single great year. They've hand a handful of tremendous games sure, but still no 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, etc.

Because in 2017 we should be able to buy one of the most popular JRPG's from the store, not requiring to import it from across the pond.

Yeah, what if the pull a Tales of and do this kind of cover though:

just preorderd the collectors edition from amazon.com, because i´m too afraid we don´t get a cool collectors pack like this in europe.
will probably cancel if they confirm release date and special editions though.
some of you said there where some problems with persona 4 arena with importing, i missed the story, what was it about?

Yeah, I can see that. So much of my hype for TLG evaporated as soon as 2016 ended the demo. You can tickle balls for only so long until you accidentally pinch them.
It's the only region locked PS3 game, a lot of people imported it and weren't able to play it on their PAL systems.

So Persona 6 in 2021?

Ultimax was not region locked though. IIRC the region lock was because the game was dual audio or something and atlus didn't want people importing from NA to JP or something.

oh damn, is it technically possible that they do the same with persona 5 on ps4?
but even if it is i may just keep the order just for the collectors stuff

They won't know what we want unless we tell them, and Hardin has already asked for feedback on things like that especially because they're not finalized yet.
(Can't remember where I saw him ask, but I'm 85% sure he wants the feedback on stuff like that)

It is possible, but I don't see it as being very likely since it doesn't sound like any possible dual audio option would be on the disc to begin with. Far less of a justification to lock it down for an already asinine purpose.
Plus, I'm not sure Sega would want that reputation, as opposed to Index at the time.

man i hope so that would be great, cause i cannot wait a year longer than the us and get spoiled
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
At first I was wondering this too, but yeah, a new PV and people are gonna go nuts.
Best by far to get it out of the way now.
Still disappointed in that its taken this long for them to announce it, given how many times they've (Atlus USA) has repeated whatever party line about the current year that Atlus Japan told them to, but I'd much rather have that news now then at E3 itself.
Still curious on what led SMTIV to be such a large outlier in localization speed, though.
Plus, it's coming out significantly later than the Japanese release anyway. The main problem was it had dual audio and it came out really close to the Japanese release, so they were afraid of people importing from the US instead of paying the ridiculous yen price.
Overall I don't think it was worth it. I can't imagine Persona 4 Arena sold that well over here considering it came out like a year later. All the buzz had gone. I'd forgotten I even had a pre-order when it turned up, and proceeded to just not play it because I was busy playing other things by then.

Dunno if this has been clarified yet, but Amazon has a Standard Edition available for preorder as opposed to the Steelbook Edition.
But the japanese version was also locked. Unless i'm not remembering right, but i'm pretty sure it was.

This works for me, the end of 2016 is packed as it is and I always need more time to get caught up on my backlog.
