The announcement of Persona 5 R, supposedly an enhanced version that will be on #NintendoSwitch, could be imment!

https://personacentral.com/persona-5-r-announcement-imminent-official-domain-updated/

Could be normal considered that Joker is in Smash Brothers.


I still have the ps3 version unboxing since 5 months =O

 

[Alexios]

What were the biggest complaints for the standard version and could R do something to fix some of it without requiring too much reworking (which they wouldn't bother with)?

 

[Chittagong]

If the R stands for Removing 30 hours of Filler, I’m all in!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I adore this game. I love everything about it.

 

[Vlaphor]

Persona 5 was my goty last year, so if they want to make more of it, hooray.

I played Persona 4 Golden on easy to see all the extra content, so I may do the same here, but I am down for what they want to release.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

I wonder what changes and additional content Persona 5 R will bring.

 

[Danjin44]

Persona 5 was absolutely fantastic!! If it wasn't for NieR Automata, it would have been my GOTY in 2017. I definitely double dip this same way with Dragon Quest XI S.

With Joker in Persona 5 it would make sense. I enjoyed most of my time with it but it's a game I have zero interest in replaying.

Still, hopefully if it has improvements or new content there's an update for the PS3/4 version or at least a way to upgrade for a price

Persona 5 is one of the few games where my idea of an improved version is one that has less content

There's no choice between a male and female protag like with Persona 3 FES is one of the things the community has been asking for. However there's just not enough male characters in Persona 5 to give near the amount of romance options for a female MC comparative to male. They would have to add a few male characters to even things out. Ryuuji, Yusuke, and maybe Munehisa are the only viable candidates really. They would have to add 3-5 male characters. Maybe one of them will be a new party member.

So if there is a version with enhanced content then this is the route they will probably go. Maybe they'll make Sae a romance option as well for male MC players.

I'm also betting that we'll get a Persona 3 remake in P5's visual style since the character models are already done in Persona 3 dancing all night and most of the monsters can be reused as assets. However I thought they would do the same thing with Persona 4 so what do I know ;_;.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

All I want is a Vita version. I got hooked on P4G on Vita, was a perfect type of game to play in bed. Thats why i never got P5 yet.

 

[rockyt]

Be awesome if true and on the switch. I had the all the previous one on the vita including persona 4 golden. Kinda suck now that the vita is pretty much dead but having persona 5 on switch would make up for it so I can play on the go.

 

[sensor]

Where in the article does it say it will be on the Switch? Other than speculation because of Joker in Smash?

P5 is one of my favourite games, but I haven't been following this. I assume it would be on PS4 as well.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I don't think there's anything a reworked version could do that would get me to do a 180 on the game. Such a disappointment after years and years of anticipation.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I waited to buy this one. I'd grab the Switch one if this was real. Thanks for the heads up Heimdall_Xtreme

I definitely double dip this same way with Dragon Quest XI S.

Yeah, I also waited on DQ11 and if the Switch version comes West I'll get that version.

Dat portability is too strong to resist. Valkyria Chronicles 4 was a Switch game for me as well.

If is possible to bring in Nintendo Switch, They have a PS3 Version.


I still not begining the game, but she is the best part of P5

 

[Ivellios]

Is this Persona 5 for the Switch?

Its is one of the best jRPG i played for some time and its is really worth it

 

[The Mad Draklor]

The Switch version shouldn't have any performance issues, either. The PS3 version runs fine for the most part and the Switch is more powerful than the PS3.

 

[JORMBO]

I have this on PS4 but haven’t really gotten to start it. I’d double dip just to play this on a portable.

 

[kevin_trinh]

I did 3 playthrough for this game, the last one were teammate act freely on hard. I'll consider playing it again if Altus add Hifumi to the main party

Fun fact, Hifumi was originally planned to be a party member, but the development team scrapped idea because they felt that there would be too many party members.

yep i did know that, but that mean they can add it again if they want to. I know it would mean the party will have 2 strategist but who care, just fking add her

Be hilarious if a shogi board all of a sudden appears underneath the Phantom Thieves when they enter a battle.

You know they really did a fucking amazing job with the waifus considering Kawakami is in the game and still isn't best girl. Futaba clearly is.

Spoiler

Hi there mr. FBI.

I think u miss spell Makoto

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Yes, I'm also echoing that I hope this one cuts down on the insane length of Persona games.

I want to play 5 but I'm scared by devoting a whole lot of time to it.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Not a bad choice either. Like I said, too many options, too sad of a scene to just boink them all.

 

[Halo0629]

Yeah why not, I'll play it again on the switch.

 

[Danjin44]

I also wish Catherine Full Body came out on Switch instead of Vita.

 

[blackjon24]

Awesome game but it would take a lot to get me to double dip.

 

[blackjon24]

Does atlus not think switch owners would enjoy catherine? I dont care either way I'd play it on ps4 but it's a baffling decision.

 

[EDMIX]

Well it does have a different demographic.

 

[Danjin44]

Well it does have a different demographic.

Games like Shin Megami Tensei series gets released on Nintendo systems which much darker than Persona series and Nintendo now has Bayonetta. Catherine will fit on Switch just fine, but it’s Atlus whos being stubborn about exclusivity.

 

[CatCouch]

I'll definitely buy P5 again on the Switch. I only put about 10 hours into it on the PS4 and I won't be going back. Portable would be the only way I put the amount of time necessary to get through this thing.

Catherine would be a perfect fit for the Switch, as well. I really hope both make it beause I will absolutely throw money at them.

Not really, it might be them realizing that such a theme might now work on that install base. Nintendo also had to publish some of those games just to get it on the system....

Let that sink in.

 

[A Regular Guy]

At least you weren't like Chaz, who overhyped it like the 2nd coming! So you're forgiven

 

[Danjin44]

I don't remember any of SMT series got published by Nintendo, they mostly published by Atlus themselves (I could be wrong) and the only reason Bayonetta is being published by Nintendo is because Nintendo is the one made Bayonetta 2 happen. But none that has anything to do with why Catherine cannot be on Switch. I know some people might think Catherine is very lewd game but Catherine is much more horror than lewd .

At least you weren't like Chaz, who overhyped it like the 2nd coming! So you're forgiven

I did and I wasn't disappointed. It honestly one my favourite Persona game.

 

[Closer]

I agree. That theme might now work on Switch's install base.

 

[Danjin44]

I agree. That theme might now work on Switch's install base.

But why not?

 

[Killer751]

But why not?

The Switch's install base is too small to justify a Persona port.

We are talking about Catherine! If you going shit post, at very least do it properly.

You are not even trying to hide that you shit posting for sake of shit posting.

It's the same general problem. There is no audience for these games on Nintendo platforms.

 

[Ryu Kaiba]

Yes the fuck there is. You don't speak for us.

 

[LordKite]

I can't wait for Persona 5 R(estoring the Sae romance). It will clearly be the best version.

But, passed the joke, I hope they release any remade version on both the PS4 and Switch, not just the Switch if they add it. If you are swapping whole console manufacturers finally, there is no need for only one console per version

 

[cireza]

This. The game seems horribly paced. If they make the pace faster, it can only be a good thing. I did not play P5, but I played P4, and it already last for much longer than necessary. My understanding is that it is even worse in P5...

I personally never understood this complain. Do guys mean the dungeon too to long to finish? I played Strange Journey Redux this year and that game’s dungeons is twice as long with crazy amount of traps and hazardous floors. compare to that Persona 5 ‘s dungeons in no were near long.

Not talking about the dungeons. Everything that is text and story related drags for too long in P4 already. The story advances at an incredibly slow pace.

Well for me, I liked the characters and Story in Persona games so I enjoyed those moments.

This might just me but I never felt P5 dragged on, in fact I was enjoying it so much that I didn’t want the game to end. I guess that not true for everybody.

 

[Closer]

But why not?
