Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Pyra]

I dunno. I'm just focused on Crafted World next week

when are we getting Persona 5: The Crafted

 

[Hinata]

Wait, hold up.

That wasn't Female Joker.

"I don't like the Phantom Thieves. I think their method doesn't really help people"

This is what the female character says. How would that work if she was Female MC?#P5R pic.twitter.com/pjCig2c8nQ

Conspiracy theory time.

She's talking to Akechi at this point, from what I gather. Maybe, instead of being a vocal supporter of the Phantom Thieves like Joker Classic was, if she is an FeMC, she acts like she doesn't like them to throw him off her trail.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

We've been talking about the "Jane" ponytail for weeks at this point.

How do you not know about it?

TotsBS, this might be mental exhaution talking, but you're kind of being a big baby about this.

It's 4 weeks, that's barely any time at all. This isn't even the first time a company has done this.

I dunno man.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So what do we have to do to Atlus to make them stop this Announcement for an Announcement bull****?

 

[Gentlepanda]

gonna be kinda weird to know literally nothing about this girl until like the day sakurai makes her playable

 

[Deleted member]

Now that Switch is crazy successful, it really doesn't make sense not to port a game to it.

Besides resources, dev time, priorities, a diffferent market, and power?

Wow dude, chill. It isn't like Persona 5 is 100% confirmed PS4 only.

Nah, don't worry, I'm playing it up. Whenever I see the FF13 series, I can't help but get the flashbacks.

On the real, though, this was another dumb move. I know a couple of people probably have stayed up all night for this announcement, and to just be another announcement of before? This really only leaves a lot more questions than answers. A lot of people were expecting this to be a full-on reveal, too.

I just don't see how you can just announce it already, when people have waited for a pretty damn good amount of time. I'm pretty sure Atlus must've known that Sakurai and the dev team leaked the existence of Female Joker, so really this situation is just forever confusing.

Oh well, guess I'll be playing Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD in April.

 

[Ultomato]

So Atlus dissappointed?
Big deal!
Insaneintherain Just made a new original song and it FLOWS!

Nobody said it would be a full reveal. They said they'll reveal it in April.

I don't know why people act like getting some news early is a bad thing.

 

[Pyra]

All I hope is it isnt a female Akechi

For what it's worth, the girl goes to Shujin Academy, and Akechi does not.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I love your games Atlus.. but please get a better marketer/whoever controls how these things go to do your announcemnts

 

[Zinith]

when are we getting Persona 5: The Crafted

Tried to find an appropriate image, but it all revolved around tax fraud

*sigh* hope for humanity lowered

To be honest, a TV-Spot like they had is not really the best place to make a huge announcement like people were expecting.

If you only have 15 seconds of promotion time (unless you want to cut the episode short), then you have to make do.

To be fair I can’t blame people for being disappointed when they make a teaser for a teaser for another announcement.

 

[Wyoming]

You can always be Ace Attorney fans. Capcom hyped up 2018 to be a great year for fans.

We got the trilogy ported on every machine today, more anime, and a musical. Yeah thanks but...we already played the first part, knew about the 2nd, and the third is Japanese exclusive! That's good for the series, yes but that's not the fans...

 

[osby]

All I hope is it isnt a female Akechi

There's no reason for a female Akechi to exist, he's not the avatar.

 

[Hinata]

I'm staying on the FeMC train for now. The fact that she matches the description of Joker's leaked costume is too important to ignore. I'm sure there's some explanation for why she has certain differences from the Joker we know. Maybe they're just giving the FeMC her own scenario instead of being straight up "Girl Mode" like P3P was.

 

[Pyra]

This really isn't that heartbreaking, guys... lol

 

[SoccerStar9001]

Besides resources, dev time, priorities, a diffferent market, and power?

Persona 5 was on the PS3, so I don't think the power argument cut it.

Different market doesn't really make sense since adding Joker in Smash is hyping up Persona among the Nintendo fanbase.

The resource somewhat works, but they have such a opportunity to really start pushing Persona to be a bigger series. And porting a game probably isn't gonna take that much resources for the potential sales it would get.

 

[Zinith]

Maybe it's a "Fionna and Cake" thing...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

aye man, we dont know diddly at the moment. could be an MC, it couldnt be an MC, it could be FemAkechi, I couldnt be FemAkechi. Or in my head It could be P3P Fem MC, it couldnt be P3P fem MC.

 

[Gentlepanda]

kinda wonder if they gonna make this girl an echo fighter with joker if she's a different character

unlikely since she was found as a skin, but it would kinda suck to lose out on 4 joker skins for a character that isn't even him

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This is what Im thinking. And if thats what it is, that means a male Velvet room Attendant. Probably not actually

The switch has enough power to run Persona 5 (presumably), but porting a game to sufficient standards takes resources and time. Look at Assassin’s Creed 3, that game can run well on the switch but the port isn’t looking great because porting a game to a different console with a different architecture takes time and money. Atlus is a busy company working on quite a few different projects now, it likely just isn’t worth the investment in man power to port the game. Sure, smash hypes up Persona to an extent, but that’s only the people who like smash, and out of those only the people interested in Joker. Looking at it from Atlus’ perspective, I can see why they haven’t ported it yet.

*puts on tinfoil*

Persona 5: The Royal is the grand return of the P3P FMC, entering the scenario of the Phantom Thieves from an outsider's perspective.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

It's new avatar time for me already. As much as I love Silvally I had to go back to my dragon shtick eventually.

And oh hey it just so happens to match my premium username and banner, nice.

Not an ad. #NotAnAdForPremium

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

idk man, An announcement for an announcement that announces a game and an unknown chick that will be announced next announcement is pretty annoying

Adding to this: ATLUS isn't a big company and Persona Team is even smaller.

You didn't see the end of the P3, did you?

 

[SneakyLink]

Then comes another announcement.

It never ends.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Wait, are people actually disappointed by this or something?

 

[KMDP]

You didn't see the end of the P3, did you?

I know exactly how it ends.

Doesn't stop what-if scenarios.

Makes sense I guess. I am personally pretty confident P5 will be coming, just when is the question.

There was no announcement for an announcement, we just got two different teasers for April, that's all.

ok but real talk sakurai ****ed up big time

[wondering if he'll ever get to take a break intensifies]

conidering P3P MC got into Persona Q2 via sleep...

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Honestly, I'm not surprised Persona 5 R is PS4 exclusive. They usually are. Not all hope is lost though, wasn't there multiple versions of Persona 5 leaked? I feel like I remember a Persona 5 S and if that's the case the S could stand for Switch. Honestly, if Persona 5 showed up on Nintendo Switch and it WASN'T announced by Nintendo I would be shocked. I don't know why every one else feels the opposite.

 

[Pyra]

Yeah, that's annoying for sure, but I mean I think some people are taking it way more personally than they probably should
It was some info even if was a tiny bit, so

At least presumably the real announcement is the one in April... probably

 

[kirbsmash]

I'm just happy it isn't just Ren with a lipstick.

 

[KMDP]

considering P3P MC got into Persona Q2 via sleep...

"Do Female Protags Dream of Ephemeral Bandits?"

Minako descends from the heavens to aid the newest Wildcard, but isn't told who she's supposed to help, and ends up mistaking Akechi for the Good Guy.

An "Another Side, Another Story" game that focuses on different characters within the same time period within the original game can be an interesting experience, it worked for Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory.
