Are you guys honestly that mad? The earliest I would have expected it was December. At least it's only ~8 weeks later.

 

[Logash]

At least now we know

 

[FunkyDealer]

E3 201X: Everything was next year.

 

[muteki]

Good luck avoiding spoilers everyone.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Winter 2017 for Europe. Only 3 years late. And no PS3.

 

[Machina]

2016, the year of the delay

 

[Zhao_Yun]

I shouldn't complain since I already have enough games for this year, but having P5, FFXV and SO5 in the same year would have been a perfect for me.

 

[ZeroX03]

Everything was delayed to Q1 2017 :<

"Hey, everything is releasing Q1 2017. Can we delay it to later in 2017 so there's less competition and we get more time?"

Everything was Holiday 2017

 

[zulux21]

remember when they said it was confirmed to still be coming in 2015.

eh... not a big deal as long as they use this time to make sure that what ever collectors edition they make has enough stock to at least stay live on amazon/best buy for at least a day.

I still want to give them my extra money for likely pointless stuff. I mean heck I bought the e3 bag from last year off ebay. need my extra persona goodies.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Damn. I though for sure it'd be NLT December of this year. That's a long gap between Japan and US

 

[artsi]

Well, glad I'm importing JP.

 

[Sgtpepper89]

So Persona 4 released in 2008... This game sure don't have expectations at all in having to be goat.

 

[neurosyphilis]

So Persona 5 and Horizon Zero Dawn both Feb 2017

I'm certain that Horizon Zero Dawn will be delayed again.

 

[Hagi]

Everything I want to play gets delayed. It better be region free because I'm not waiting until Feb 2019 to play it in the UK.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Yeah just like 2016 was going to be insane.

2016 is insane. Where have you been?

 

[Iriscomeback]

I think this is ok, bummer it can't be sooner but localizing a massive (presumably) game like that takes time, right?

 

[Hoje0308]

Same month as Horizon. I remember when winter used to suck for gamers.

 

[friskykillface]

Welp

That's a kick in the balls

 

[flatearthpandas]

Received Atlus newsletter with this info right after reading the thread. Interesting timing. I'll be playing in September though, so whatever.

 

[FataIChoice]

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

Take Your Heart” Premium Edition - PlayStation 4 only ($89.99/CA$109.99)

Exclusive to the PS4 version of the game, the premium edition includes the following:

Soundtrack CD: A selection of music from Persona 5 by legendary series composer Shoji Meguro in a CD wallet featuring P5 artwork.
Morgana plush: Morgana the cat is not just the mascot of the Phantom Thieves, but is 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.
Collectible outer box: Easily the largest premium edition in ATLUS’ history, the entirety of the “Take Your Heart” Premium Edition comes in a colossal collectible box.

Do you hear that crying? It's my wallet in complete agony imagining the cost this will be to bring it home.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Sucks but I can't really get mad as there is already so much coming out this year that I want to play. Persona and Horizon to kick off 2017 is fine by me

 

[JetSetRadio]

That's soon.

 

[KZXcellent]

Eh, I have FFXV and World of FF to close the year out and plenty of other games~

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Persona 5 to make the GAF anticipated list 4 years in a row

 

[Hoo-doo]

Eh that's not far at all, I never really expected them to hit 2016, but it would have been great if they did.

 

[tareqsalah1]

E3 2016....the year of 2017

 

[Kyoufu]

Good news.

This year there's a ton of stuff to play like Star Ocean 5, World of Final Fantasy, FFXV, Dragon Quest Builders, Dragon Quest VII etc so it doesn't bother me that it's not out this year.

E3 2016....the year of 2017

Welcome to every E3 ever.

 

[silva1991]

Well this sucks

I can only think of 2 games that interests me in the next 6 months(TLG and FF15)

incompetent companies man

get ready to be spoiled I guess.

 

[Deft Beck]

It feels like they're making Atlus USA wait until the Japanese version is completely finished before they can start localizing it.

 

[rockman zx]

I guess they have enough time to find a publisher for Europe.

 

[Galang]

February is pretty quick! Can't wait.

 

[Forkball]

2017 is the new 2015.

 

[Vinc]

I really don't feel like this is a disappointment at all, also the thread title should include the date, since a specific one is given!

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Fucking lol. How long since this game was announced?!

 

[Slixshot]

February will be one hell of a month.

 

[Rosur]

Horizon and Persona in February...

Not like this...

What I was thinking at least now have time for FF XV and World of Final Fantasy without having to cut either.

 

[DKHF]

Will this be a record for most appearances on a shinobi GAF most anticipated list? 4 in a row (assuming it makes the 2017 one which it will).

Spoiler

And before someone says FFXV, it was never given a release year before last year so it only had 1 appearance.

 

[_Ryo_]

Delays after delay. Lol

 

[TheBowen]

Not too bad. But as an EU person this will be my first game i ever import

As knowing Atlus the EU port will be like late 2017/ early 2018 at best.

 

[Alienfan]

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

 

[Mupod]

Good luck avoiding spoilers everyone.

this

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

 

[like.a.ser]

I am okay with this.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Persona 5 to make the GAF anticipated list 4 years in a row

Main reason why Atlus decided to release it in 2017 tbh. Dynasty!

 

[jmaine_ph]

This was expected. If you do the math this is how long it took Persona 4 localization to happen as well

 

[muteki]

Nice that the special edition has some unique stuff.

Don't feel bad about importing the JP special edition now.

 

[BrettHeazy]

Summer 2017 for the euros then... damnnnnn

 

[Sn4ke_911]

When do we know if the game is region locked or not?

 

[MagnoSauce]

So incredibly split on whether to play this game in Japanese when it comes out. I know enough to get through it with a dictionary and enjoy the voice acting a fair amount, but hearing it and reading things in English has a lot more acute emotional impact and of course I can get all the subtleties of the speech. If it has a lot of emotional twists and turns like P4, I'd want the full impact of them... Not even a huge fan of the gameplay lol. But like everyone else I'm dying to get my hands on it.

 

[Primethius]

I don't mind too much because atleast we have a date. I was expecting December so it's not too far off.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Persona 4 Arena.
