Japan : SCEJA press conference (early Sep) or TGS (mid-Sep)
NA : Random twitter announcement/press release after Japan's release date announcement

My wishful thinking: SCEJA Press Conference or TGS: Both JP and NA release dates

Spoiler

or simultaneous release

(sorry EU).

seemingly john hardin also said that he only can say persona 5 = 2015 even when asked about europe in an interview.

This was cleared up a while ago, EU is still unknown.

It was for NA the 2015 bit. Altus USA will never talk about Europe without another publisher from what i know. I believe Nich mentioned that a while ago in a thread that had some NA release date. They will get partners and the partners will announce release dates. That's how it is from what I know.

And the reason nothing has been announced is because of what John said. They don't want to announce too early.

Yeah, unless ATLUS is dead-set as a publisher (Conception II, etc.), I can't say anything about it, because it's not my right to do so, it's the publisher's. It's just a general rule in business too, a "don't talk about a deal until the ink is dry" kind of situation.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I thought the original was called Megami Ibunroku Persona not SMT?

I mean the original Devil Summoner.

 

[MudoSkills]

I'm willing to avatar bet that P5 won't make it out in NA this year. Skirting the fact that NA+JP isn't a worldwide release anyway (EU loves you, please talk to us), any kind of simultaneous release seems unlikely.

BTW, I mean the 2015 calendar year - not financial year or whatever. The first three months of 2016 are not 2015.

I'll take you up on that, if P5 is released in NA before/on 31 December 2015 I win right?

 

[MudoSkills]

Yep.

 

[KenjiGlove]

Yep.

K, got anything in mind for what the avatar is going to be? I'm not talented enough to make something, just some Aigis animegao (don't google this if you're not prepared) is fine with you if I lose?

Spoiler

I won't lose though

-----------------------------------

Apparently Toonami is going to air Persona 4 the animation or something? I can't find a good source though.

We should make this a big, PersonaGAF-wide bet, NA/JP 2015'ers against the NA/JP 2016 Delay'ists.

I'm in for it!

Of course, this could be pretty fun, we should use that Phoenix Wright image Corvo posted a while ago as our main motive if the 2015 side happens to lose.

PersonaGAF theme song when we lose

 

[MudoSkills]

I'll wear anything provided it doesn't earn me a ban. No ideas as to what I'd have you take if I win, I'll just let inspiration hit me when it happens.

What duration do you want to go for? A month or something longer term, like until the EU release date...

Let's wait until some other people join in on the fun, EU release date is too big of a punishment though...

I'm fine with a month, starting after the announcement of the 2015 release date or 2016 delay.

 

[Dantis]

I think P5 will be this year still.

I believe.

 

[Reanimatoin]

The ending song of Wolfenstein: TNO seems very fitting at this time.

I believe

 

[Olengie]

I believe

 

[cj_iwakura]

Makes me think of The Book of Mormon version, but that's just me.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I still believe in 2015. Hopefully a date comes soon, not only because it would be nice to have a date but also because it would be a motivator to go and play Eternal Punishment.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

You'd be wearing that avatar for the rest of your life.

I believe in 2015, at least for Japan.

 

[Panda Rin]

hoping for a SCEJA announcement in early Sept then. They announced the conference on August 19th last year, so an announcement of a conference might be coming in the next few days.

To keep the theme Persona 5-Related, I drafted this up.

How about whichever side looses, they need to use this as an avatar?

 

[yuuki]

is it known when the next sony show will be?

Your avatar would look like this properly resized:

The text would be barely noticeable and the protagonist's face as well. Avatar bets don't mean much when the avatar doesn't stand out and isn't embarrassing in some form or another, taking into account the result of the bet.

I like that I incited this, though. Keep it up, I want to see flames.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Shame, I figured it may be too small.

How about this?

 

[CrimsonFist]

How about just an avatar version of this Rise image:

How about just an avatar version of this Rise image:

No Rise Image could ever be an insult or punishment unless it's drawn in MS Paint!

 

[MudoSkills]

Well, if people are posting avatars about I just put this one together for KenjiGlove. It could work as general punishment, given that Kenji is such a popular guy.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

How about just an avatar version of this Rise image:

Relatedly: It seems Persona fans weren't really into that tapestry at all, since it's one of the items that ended up not being sold out at Comiket 88.

I'll take this one, really great.

My username is actually a reference to him, I kinda like him

cuz it's Rise.

Neither was the other tapestry though, they might just have had more stock of those.

Yeah, that's true too. There were also the P4D vinyls which were not sold out, though I anticipated that one since it's a vinyl record.

 

[Weiss]

I'll throw in on a 2015 release date for both Japan and North America.

PersonaGAF theme song when we lose

Theme is too good for us

PersonaGAF's true theme song

EDIT: #InHardinWeTrust

 

[NichM]

I'll back my boy John and throw in on the 2015 side. BELIEVE.

 

[CorvoSol]

#TeamRuin

 

[BRSxIgnition]

In for Team 2015.

#InHardinWeTrust

 

[QuadOpto]

....So. Thread-wide avatar bet on this huh?

Screw it.

#InHardinWeTrust

 

[KenjiGlove]

#InHardinWeTrust

Inb4 Atlusprime picks #TeamRuin

---------------

Looks way better, I don't know if someone is able to make it even clearer but I have no clue how editing images works.

#InHardinWeTrust

 

[yuuki]

Indeed #InHardinWeTrust

 

[Lunar15]

Not throwing in my vote till I know the terms.

Kenji avatar bet seems good. It'd be embarrassing since I hate that guy, but it also won't make people think I'm some kind of creep.

That for a month sounds good to me.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I just like to watch the bloodshed. This is essentially Poll #011, now that I think about it.

Counting those who made it explicit for NA or simply stated "2015" in regards to the current discussion (and not counting statements in referring to Japan's release), there are currently 10 people who are, uh, "#InHardinWeTrust" is it?

There are 2 people who are what I guess is being dubbed "#TeamRuin." That sounds cooler, to be honest.

Basically, 83.3% of people so far believe in 2015.

Edit: I could try to come up with two different avatars, designed for who the losers will be.

 

[CrimsonFist]

I'll throw in a vote for 2015, but I'm not taking any bets

 

[ColossalLazy]

Same here. Hoping for a December release so I can play nonstop in the holidays.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I'm surprised to see that so many people are in for 2015. Though I shouldn't be too surprised considering that P5 is clearly a 2015 game.

 

[Sophia]

You're all insane.


I'll make no bets, but you all know I'm a pretty firm believer in the idealistic. So my faith is on 2015.

 

[Setsu00]

#InHardinWeTrust

I'll believe in 2015.

Edit: Yeah, I'm not taking the bet either.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Edit: I could try to come up with two different avatars, designed for who the losers will be.

That'd be great if you could.

This'll be fun.
