Support NeoGAF

[Velcro Fly]

The 3DS as an RPG machine will live on forever. Think within the next year or so I need to buy a spare just to have on hand so that I can finish my backlog before I die.

 

[daveo42]

Hopefully they just place Q2 after the events of P5 instead of shoehorning it in to some section of the game like the original Q where

Spoiler

they forget any of it happened right after

because it just has to be canon.

 

[Vena]

Excellent!

Really enjoyed the first even though by the end the dungeons became really rote, I hope they take a few more queues from EO and spruce up the end-game.

FOEs were too easy in PQ1.

 

[ZeroD]

Is it worth going back to the first one? I never got around to it

 

[kromeo]

At this point im going to end up with enough 3ds games to keep me busy for the next 2 or 3 years.

As well as the 4 announced Atlus games I still have Devil Survivor 2, Legend of Legacy, Bravely Second, Soul Hackers, SMT 4 + Apocalypse, Fantasy Life, 7th Dragon, Fire Emblem Echoes, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, Stella Glow all unopened. I'll still be playing 3DS games in 10 years the rate I get through them

 

[NorthernSpade]

Not too excited about the dancing games, but I liked PQ so I'm in for this.

If it's P3/P4/P5 then holy hell that's a lot of VA work.

goddamn

that's a lot of good stuff. enjoy

Game is fantastic, just don't expect much from the writing (main story is entertaining and okay but characters are terrible) and simply enjoy the gameplay.

 

[Kthulhu]

Do you like Etrian Odyssey?

 

[Vena]

Its quite good, but the story/writing depends heavily on your affection/attachment to the cast of the games (and specifically the path you pick to play through). The actual plot is predictable and stupid, but the gameplay is fun.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

The logo makes me think this is probably extremely P5 focused. Possibly entirely.

 

[Thoraxes]

Zero surprise at it being on 3DS, and I quite look forward to this. I wonder what kind of setting they'll use this time?

 

[guybrushfreeman]

I agree. It also had great music as well. I'm happy to see a second Persona Q. I just can't get into EO but I loved PQ so this is great.

 

[iceblade997]

Wow this is great news! Assuming this blends P4 and P5 characters, then I definitely need to make my way through P4 before getting it.

Really glad to see this coming out though, and Atlus are quickly making claim as my favorite publisher .

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I'm sorry if this was answered already. Did they sayit was coming west in 2018 as well?

 

[Velcro Fly]

No announcement yet but it would be hard to imagine it not coming over even if it is a late 2018 release here.

 

[sfried]

So...which installments does this game crossover with?

P3 + P4 + P5? P4 + P5? P5 alone?

Will we see the return of F.O.E.?

 

[DrunkShogun]

Will probably buy this depending on how it performs on the older 3ds model. Actually want p2 as the crossover but expect persona 4.

I sincerely doubt an EO style game will lack FOE.

 

[Mustang 00]

Hoping this would have ps4 as well. Oh well finally time to get a 3ds when this comes out.

 

[Interface23]

Hard to do these things on 1 screen because of the map feature. That's why I expect EO to be dead after 3DS goes out the door

 

[sfried]

Also I love how the OP has "Switch discussion = ban" while I'm expecting no less than 3 posts port-begging for their beloved PS4/Vita. Gotta love the double-standards here in GAF.

Edit: Oh, and there's one!

[Chasetopher]

Didn't like Q so I'm gonna go ahead and pass, but hope it's good for those who like EO games.

 

[JustSomeone]

And it will never come to the west,just like EO5 =/

This should be a ban in of itself for trying to push some narrative and trying to start something.

 

[Magicpaint]

EOV is coming.

 

[axisofweevils]

3DS keeps refusing to die.

 

[marmoka]

Atlus does not want the 3DS to die!!

Atlus is the 3DS's biggest fan!!

It's because every game announcement lately has been "why not also on Switch" and as much as I love the console it doesn't need every game ever because then why buy a 3DS/Vita/PS4

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Very happy about this.

Hoping Q takes places after P5 if it's not a crossover game like the original.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Ooh I feel it coming

 

[ChasingComets]

And it will never come to the west,just like EO5 =/

Shhh, no one is suppose to know, but Persona Q has actually taken over as the main EO series already, just like it did SMT.

Spoiler

But really where have you been? EOV got confirmed a while back at E3

 

[-Horizon-]

And it will never come to the west,just like EO5 =/

Uhhhhhhh...

 

[MaximumSpider]

And it will never come to the west,just like EO5 =/

It's a modern Persona game not Persona 2. It's coming.

 

[ghibli99]

Hopefully they ease up on the dialogue scenes. I swear PQ1 was trying to outdo P4 in terms of opening exposition.

 

[Interface23]

PQ2 is being made at the expense of EO3 Untold. EO is dead and never being localized again everrrr... oh wait haha.


I just hope this plot isn't as wonky as PQ1 was

 

[VegiHam]

What if we have no details for this game because revealing more would spoil the masterful, important and intricately crafted narratives of P3DMN and P5DSN?

Gotta respect the Canon

 

[MulderYuffie]

The 3ds is killing it!

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Similar situation here. Last rpg I finished on the system was Bravely Default, and since April 2016 I've been juggling Bravely Second and Dragon Quest 7 and I still have not finished either of them (though I'm close). Haven't touched any of the EO / Fire Emblem games or Persona Q either and they're on my list.

I blame Theatrhythm. I'll never be done with 3ds.

 

[Lightning Lord]

No streaming allowed.

EDIT: Starting to get the two threads mixed up. I swear I thought this was the one for the dance games.

 

[Opa-Pa]

Personally I'm quite shocked that the new game in a more or less budget and highly dual screen reliant series is coming out exclusively on 3DS. Quite the surprise, to be honest.

 

[Minsc]

Edit: Oh, and there's one!

There were actually more posts in this thread about the Switch (120+) than posts about the announcement before I purged them. One or two comments about Vita or PS4 doesn't really effect the thread in the same way, so it's not so much about double standards as it is about the overwhelming presence Switch had in this thread (to the point you couldn't have a discussion about the game or the prequel, etc).

Things were going nice for a while and they will continue that way. Further discussion should be brought to PM, if you find the non-Switch platform requests troubling, PM a mod rather than bloat up the thread whining, thank you.

Nope, it's going to be

Spoiler

during the culture festival so they can have Akechi playable before his intentions are known

you know this will happen

 

[The Greek Freak]

I wish the first one was more about map making and combat like etrian odessey. All of the dungeon puzzles were soooooooo bad.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I'm guessing there was a thread posted where everyone was port begging and it had to get rebooted? Hilarious as usual. Sorry I missed it.

Persona Q didn't particularly endear itself to me but I'll keep an eye on this one. Glad it's getting a sequel for those that were into it.

 

[UCBooties]

Guess it's time to actually play 5...

 

[DNAbro]

Pretty good video on why PQ is great

https://twitter.com/garfep/status/892768581347287041

 

[Danjin44]

I'm way more excited for PQ2 than the dancing games. The first game had its issues but still decent RPG and i prefer that to rhythm game any day.

 

[tearsintherain]

As someone who has only played P5, could someone explain what Persona Q is? It sounds like a remaster of the first game but then people in here keep saying they hope its set after P5 so I guess its something else?

 

[RikuDawn]

The logo makes me think this is probably extremely P5 focused. Possibly entirely.

I think it's just a tease cause P5 is obvioisly relevant. They'll probably reveal P3/P4 or whatever stuff for it later.
