So I'm guessing Persona 5 in 2015 for the West?

Yeah, early 2015 probably. Atlus did a pretty good job getting P4 out within a couple of months of release in Japan, if I remember correctly.

Man....this is going to make it impossible for me to get rid of the PS3 until P5 comes west (and I have no doubt that it will eventually)

Y U NO play PS3 games, PS4?

After reading a bit, I didn't realize P4 came out well after the PS3 did....I guess this is par for the course with Atlus. I didn't really get into the series myself until P3 FES came to the PS Store.

Loved P4, hopefully this will be good as well. Ps3s should be dirt cheap by then as well and will probably pick it up again to play this.

So hyped. Persona Q better get a western release. Purchasing a PS3 was always on my to do list but Persona 5 is definitely an even greater incentive to get one.

This is ATLUS, you don't have to worry about their games getting a western release. Hell they are probably the best at localizing their games in a decent time frame of weeks to a few months depending on game scope. Unlike the fools at bamco who take 2 years to localize their rpgs.

That's no longer a guarantee with SEGA being their parent company now. Nintendo has been working with Japanese third-parties to bring their games over though.

Persona 5 has a high school setting, but different atmosphere

Quote:

This week’s Dengeki PlayStation has first details on the Sunday-announced Persona 5. The chairs and chains shown in the announcement teaser are located at a senior high school, according to the magazine. These make up the theme of Persona 5. It’s described as an RPG that contains a message like a cathartic yell to overcome trials and break free from your chains. The game will continue to adapt the series’ juvenile high school setting, but the atmosphere will be completely different. Atlus promises the game will offer a sense of realism, including life-sized characters and a story built from a new world and values.
