Hm. I wonder if FFXV's release date has any motivation in this for the West. Though they're both coming out around the same time in Japan anyway, so I may be reading too much into it.
Atlus doesn't really have the kind of resources that SE has that would allow them to do a simultaneous global release. It's still considered s much more niche company.
I'm also very concerned it does not say "and Europe"

Not sure if the PS4 is region locked. The only reason P4Arena was region lock was due to Atlus worrying about Japanese gamers waiting to import the U.S. version back to Japan, because it's actually cheaper here than there. I think there games are priced in the high 60 to 70 dollar range when converted. So that's why Europe got screwed there.
It may come down to how much Sega is going to play a factor into this. They've taken over the company fully sometime ago and they presumably have better distribution networks in Europe than Atlus did.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
From what I recall, the PS4 is not region locked, but I'd still prefer a local release soon enough
Didn't see the point of making a new thread for this, but here's at least 8 minutes of gameplay footage that shows off exploring town, the school, shopping, dungeons, combat and demon negotiations. You read that last one right, it's back baby!
This trailer, despite the grainy quality, seriously has me pumped for this game. It looks like such a great improvement over P4, which itself was already a big leap from P3. February can't get here sooner.

Right, I know demon negotiation is a P2 thing - what is it?
It was also in P1.
Also, Forms, you've played SMT IV. You know what this is about.
Yeah but is it different in Persona than SMT?
Not really. You talk to the demon until it gives you stuff or joins you. The difference was that in Persona each character had a different set of negotiating tactics they could use against the demon to influence their mood. The mood could be influenced in one of four directions, and each one resulted in different outcomes (the demon leaving, attacking you, giving you stuff, healing you, etc.). It's pretty much the same except Persona had a bit of unnecessary fluff, imo, so I'm hoping the negotiation system in P5 is more like SMT IV, Strange Journey, or Soul Hackers
Ah okay.
Honestly I found negotiation to be somewhat annoying. I know this is painfully obvious, but some demons were just so damn fickle.
That's kind of the point
You are talking to demons, after all
I know, but battles always ended up taking a much longer time. I think I saved up App points just to get the improved negotiation apps ASAP.
