Lol people thought simultaneous release. I expected Dec/Jan.

Enough time to play the JP edition I have preordered heh.

 

[FHIZ]

Best Buy needs to hurry up with my $10 Overwatch credit so I can get in on the special edition.

Also, 2017, everything is awful, woe is me.

 

[Jarmel]

For fuck's sake.

I was expecting roughly December.

 

[razgriz417]

Damnit 😭,welp looks like ff15 lucked out, was planning to buy both but would have played p5 first no question

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

The annoying this is I'm gonna be living in Japan, so not only will I experience all the marketing buzz, but also be at risk of spoilers.

 

[Patryn]

Color me a sucker, but I really, truly was convinced it was going to hit 2016.

And now holy shit is Q1 2017 stacked for me.

Similarly, holy shit is Q4 2016 a wasteland for me.

 

[Brazil]

Cowardly Atlus afraid of FFXV. Bah.

 

[kewlmyc]

Eh, at least's it a date finally?

 

[Steroyd]

Looks at European continent on the globe.

... :'(

 

[Monochromaticx]

cool. enough time to finish ff15 (if it doesn’t disappoint)

 

[wapplew]

Not too bad.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

PLEASE BE REGION FREE

God help us all if they locked that shit.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

The annoying this is I'm gonna be living in Japan, so not only will I experience all the marketing buzz, but also be at risk of spoilers.

Then just buy the Japanese version?

 

[Nakazato]

Good. Less money spent this year

 

[atomsk]

Somebody tell the Atlus IT guy to update the meta tags on the website...

 

[NoblesseOblige]

That's okay. I don't envision myself dying before then. And if I do die then I'll be too dead to care.

 

[ChasingComets]

I don't care how many games there are, because I will literally drop everything to play this.

I knew an early 2017 was in the cards but, fuck, still disappointing news because I had that small hope for dec 2016.

 

[JBwB]

February is getting pretty packed now with Horizon and Persona 5.

I'll have FFXV & BF1 to keep me busy till then

 

[kurahador]

As usual, come E3 20xx everything is 20xx+1.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Wait why are people in Europe worried about a European release date? The PS4 is region free right? Importing is a hassle, but you won't have to wait until 2018 or anything ridiculous like that

Are you European?
The hassle of importing shouldn't be necessary in 2017.

this

shit was unavoidable with P4, this is gonna be miserable.

I didn't play P4 before 2013 and didn't get spoiled at all. It's not that hard to avoid spoilers unless you are actively searching for them.

 

[randomusername]

Ugh such a disappointment but oh well. Waited this long already, can wait a little bit longer.

 

[nbnt]

RIP in peace Horizon

 

[Langdon Alger]

Well, that's disappointing. I was hoping for a 2016 release.

 

[Kagari]

Cowardly Atlus afraid of FFXV. Bah.

More like they're still working on localization.

 

[Liamc723]

Europe date please

 

[Kuni]

Not a surprise at all sadly. Atlus struggle with worldwide.

Sadly this doesn't include EU. Us poor peasants will probably be waiting until summer or even fall.

Was hoping Sega would enable ww release but ah well. Business as usual.

Edit: I should add of course that Atlus should take as much time as it needs to localise, etc... But it's still rather annoying to have to wait much longer cos Europe. Especially in this day and age.

 

[butman]

Ok with this. I just can't have FFXV and P5 at the same time.

 

[matrix-cat]

Wait why are people in Europe worried about a European release date? The PS4 is region free right? Importing is a hassle, but you won't have to wait until 2018 or anything ridiculous like that

There was exactly one region-locked game on the PS3, and it was an Atlus-published game with the word 'Persona' in the title. Not saying they'll do it again, but you never know

 

[Natiko]

Remember when they swore it was coming out in NA in 2015? Good times.

 

[Palette Swap]

Remember when Atlus said they were working for this to release very close to the JP version?
LOL

Remember when they swore it was coming out in NA in 2015? Good times.

They even made a big deal about that worldwide release at PSX 2014.

 

[Liamc723]

I want to play a UK copy, I don't want to import.

 

[Freeman]

Come on! I'm ready for it.

And because this is basically the biggest title in ATLUS’ history, we HAD to go all out and do one of our renowned special editions. Exclusive to the PlayStation 4 version of the game, the Persona 5 “Take Your Heart” Premium Edition is going to arrive in a massive, collectible box, and will contain the following:

• Soundtrack CD: A selection of music from Persona 5 by legendary series composer, Shoji Meguro, in a CD sleeve featuring special P5 artwork.
• 4” Morgana plush: Morgana the Phantom Thieves’ cat is not just the mascot of the Phantom Thieves, but also a member – and also not just a cat! The premium edition includes an exclusive 4” plush of Morgana.
• 64-page hardcover art book: This art book is full of concept sketches, character art, and more by character designer Shigenori Soejima.
• SteelBook: As strong as a vault, the game disc for the PS4 will come specially packaged in a SteelBook collectible case, emblazoned with Persona 5 designs.
• School bag: Designed after the traditional school bags in Japan, the exclusive replica bag comes complete with the Shujin Academy crest.

The Persona 5 “Take Your Heart” Premium Edition will be available for $89.99!

For those just interested in the PlayStation 4 version of the game, we’re releasing Persona 5 in a special SteelBook® Launch Edition! All pre-orders and a very limited number of launch copies will come in an official, collectible SteelBook case, adorned with glorious Persona 5 art (identical to the one in the “Take Your Heart” Premium Edition). It’ll be $59.99 at launch! Just a reminder, this will be exclusive to the PS4 version.

[Hot Coldman]

It was July > December for Persona 4, so September > February is consistent for P5.

 

[Zyrox]

 

[Ydelnae]

If they region lock this and don't bother making a deal with some EU publisher to bring this out the same day as NA, I will commit sudoku. They have time to come up with something for Europe, I thought they were going to announce both dates together but it seems we're still on the 2 continent song.

 

[llehuty]

3 of the 5 most anticipated games of 2016 voted by NeoGaf users delayed to 2017 (Horizon, Persona 5 and Zelda). The other two are already out (Uncharted and Dark Souls 3).

Hope you all will enjoy the second half of this year.

#NotLikeThis2016

 

[Bladenic]

I can avoid spoilers and videos until then... I hope.

 

[Pachimari]

What the fuck is this shit. Were holding out for 2016.

 

[V_Ben]

Feb? Alright! Let's hope for no lock so I can just import it ^_^

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Not an official account.

Turkoop is behind it.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

On the plus side, at least now we have plenty of time for FFXV

thats no consolation...

 

[varkuriru]

Expected. Also will pass on premium edition - if they included full soundtrack then I would have jumped in. Guess I'll import the OST.

 

[Zombie James]

Well, at least it'll qualify for E3 pre-order promotions. Surprised they're still going to come out with the PS3 version.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Avoiding a confrontation with FFXV at all costs. Can't blame them. I am saddened by this nonetheless.

 

[Logash]

How about the special edition aye? The price is not bad at all for what you get. Same as FF15's and that one only comes with the Steelbook and a blu ray movie

 

[Cade]

Hey, they also reconfirmed the PS3 version and gave details on the PS4 special edition, that's pretty cool.

This is up at Amazon (US), btw:

 

[GhostBed]

Fine by me, there's already too much for me to play this year, I can wait.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

WTF that is long time in this day and age .
