Well that's an announcement for another announcement. Somehow I'm not surprised given how movies have teaser trailers for the trailers now.

At least one shoe has dropped in the Persona 5 random letters mystery, now to wait for the rest.

Abriael1860d ago

This is the most stretched announcement I've seen in a while lol.

Tross1860d ago

Were you following the initial Persona 5 announcement? Atlus likes to troll its fans (but in a good way that increases hype).

Teflon021859d ago

I think P5's was okay. But this is a rerelease with new content. This is just ridiculously stretched for no reason. Just announce it or not. We don't need a announcement, for the game announcement that has a abbreviated name for another announcement that gives you the actual name etc

Uglyday1859d ago

Phantom Thieves leave a calling card before stealing hearts.

Abriael1860d ago

I'm not sure that is the case, unless she has a completely different story which would be awesome, mind you, but it would be a ton of work.

She is a first-year (you see it with the badge on her lapel), while the hero is a second-year. This means that a ton of things would have to be different in her story and routine because she wouldn't be in the same class with the others.

Protagonist1860d ago (Edited 1860d ago )

Ahh good looking out; but they could have put the work in though, who knows, maybe they even started it before the release of P5.. Well here´s another month of waiting for some more info.

Abriael1860d ago

What makes me think that's not likely the case is that Atlus is not a GIANT team. And they have Other games in the works. I also think that they likely already started on the next mainline Persona.

We'll have to see, but I'm leaning toward another Marie, maybe playable as a party member this time.

Protagonist1860d ago (Edited 1860d ago )

Atlus migtht not be big; but after the succes of P5 and the buy out by SEGA, they might have increased the team, also all the "spinoffs" coming out could indicate so; but honestly I´ve been giving up understanding ATLUS. I mean why even all this teasing, as it is supposed to be christmas everytime they release a trailer. Just tell us what is already ;)

Tross1860d ago

@Protagonist She does look a lot like the FeMC from P3P, but I don't know about that. I get the sense she's going to be a new supporting character (whether she be a party member or someone else). For one thing, she's already talked a lot more than protagonists in this series normally do.

Flynn_Ryder_8971860d ago

I'm praying this is an extended cut similar to Persona 4: Golden, with an optional female MC like Persona 3: Portable.

Abriael1860d ago (Edited 1860d ago )

I'm 90% sure it is an extended cut, but I'm 80% sure there is no optional female MC.

Flynn_Ryder_8971860d ago

I think you're right. People with rough translations on Twitter have suggested that she doesn't agree with the Phantom Thieves' methods.

Abriael1860d ago

Yeah. That translation is correct. I also had a native Japanese speaker translate the audio, and that's the gist.

anonymousfan1860d ago

I would love to play this on the Switch and given this game was already released on PS3 it' obvious Switch would be powerful enough.

manabyte771860d ago (Edited 1860d ago )

I’d love to play Octopath Traveler on PS4. Heck, I’d love to play Shin Megami Tensei 5 on PS4. All systems have their exclusives. Instead if port begging, buy the system if you those games.

anonymousfan1859d ago (Edited 1859d ago )

@manabyte77 "port begging" you made my day man funny as hell. I own a PS4 pro already and yeah I prefer playing a game like P5 on the go. Not sure what is wrong with that but apparently it doesn't take much to vex some people lmao.

Edit: you are welcome to buy a Switch to play Octopath and Shin Megami by the way. You can even play then on your TV lmfao.

PhantomS421860d ago

So is this a whole new story like P3 Fes The Answer or is this just the same game with a choice of MC?

Teflon021860d ago

More likely like P4G, a new confidant with a story that ties into the extra content and dungeon that'll come with it

Shiken1859d ago

That is my bet as well.

Mr Marvel1860d ago

While this is exciting (because I loved P5 on PS4), I really wish they’d release a remastered version of P4 Golden for PS4 as that’s my favourite Vita game (alongside Dragon’s Crown).

The music, characters and story of P4 were absolutely “Golden”. ;)

Good job, my one criticism...they should have never changed that opening, that song was the jam

The Wood511d ago (Edited 511d ago )

c'mon brother, You speak the TRUTH

GoodGuy09510d ago

They always do it for the expanded version of the game. I do wish they'd make it an option to go back to the old opening though yes, it's and amazing opening.

Nyxus511d ago (Edited 511d ago )

I wonder when we'll get our first look at Persona 6.

gold_drake510d ago

thats gonna take a while

but my thinking is that Souls Hacker 2 was their test run for persona 6

Elda511d ago

Such a great game with a fab soundtrack. I just started watching the Anime episodes on Crunchyroll.

CrimsonWing69511d ago

I got the platinum originally when the PS4 version came out. Now, I’m going for the 1000 on Xbox. I absolutely love the game. Like, I can’t describe to you, but it just has this upbeat fun wholesome feeling to it. I love all the social sim elements and places you can visit.

It’s honestly a 10/10 experience for me.

Nyxus510d ago

Make sure to max out the right confidants, otherwise you don't get the new palace.

CrimsonWing69510d ago

I’m on it! I totally have a confidant guide up, lol.

GoodGuy09510d ago

Atlus is gunna be like *surprised Pikachu face* lol.

The Megaten series has been up there with Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy, for me. So glad people are checking out these games. I’m actually playing Persona 5 Royal right now. Just such a damn good game!

gold_drake543d ago

love both, for very different reasons haha.

but very well deserved

TheColbertinator543d ago

SMTV could use a Steam release too hint hint

notachance543d ago

Now that P5 has been released everywhere it’s time for SMTV to follow suit
