I'll just wait for TGS. Rumours always burn people.

Maybe this is one of those two games Sony is announcing at TGS. :D

You've gotten my hopes up ;-;

Yeah this is big for me but il wait untill TGS for a confirmation.

[QUOTE="hakanakumono"]

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] No that would be Suikoden. Correction: Suikoden is first.110million

Suikoden isn't really that great.

I've played them both. Yes, they're great games. But they're far from "the best" imo. III is by far the highlight of the series though. And yes, I own 2.

[QUOTE="hakanakumono"]Suikoden isn't really that great.Vandalvideo

Story, gameplay, music. They're all "good." But they're not beyond"good" imo, except for III. The story in III is great.

I'll just wait for TGS.

Same here :?

there's gonna be alot of angry people if this stays on ps3 only

I'm surprised they're not taking the Wii route. Persona was never about the graphics, and the Wii has a huge install base. Not that I'm complaining. I can't wait for the next one, and if it's any game that'll convince me to buy a system, this is it. (Should the rare event be that it'll be exclusive to Wii or 360)

I wonder if Atlus can actually afford it lol. They haven't been so hot lately.

From what I have read and gathered, they haven't been profiting in a long time. This isn't a hard thing to figure out though, give me a minute and I will just check their financial statements.

EDIT: So what I have gathered is they had some massive loss from 2005-2007, then profited a bit in 2008 and they are back down again in 2009 so far. This is rough though.

My gut is telling me Persona 5 will be announced for the PSP. I mean seriously Persona 1 and 3 have both got remakes on it so It seems to me that the they're becoming testing grounds. :P

Hm. Where did you find those? I'm interested. lol.

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="110million"] I think releasing like 3 titles a month, even if mostly niche, means they can't be too poorly off, localizing is a lot cheaper then making a game from scratch, so i'm sure the profits build up over time.bubbleboyii

Its not listed in an official Atlus report which is why I said it was rough(which is strange since I normally can find these easily, I thought they were suspose to be openly public???) but if you just type in Atlus Financial reports in google and search all the links in the first page you should be able to piece it together. One of them had a little chart as well.

If this is true then I think Demon's souls got something with this like sony gave atlus the game to publish it in the west as a way to to pay for atlus to make Persona 5 PS3 exclusive.

I bought part 1 from the PSN. I must say great game. I hope 2 comes to PSN soon. I have seen 3 and I dont like the battle system that much.

Sony is the one who completely funded this game and the asian version of the game is completely english so Atlus wont even bother modifying anything in the game they just need to publish it in the west and every unit sold will be pure profit for them why do you think Sony didnt publish it in the west if its already got english voices and everything is translated, And I didnt say its a trade its just a part of the payment well thats just my guess.

I totally agree.

Suikoden is first, then the Digital Devil Saga, which persists of Persona, Devil Summoner etc.. Final Fantasy doesn't even come close to these 2 JRPG franchises IMO.

Despite the fact that Wii has a large install base, it seems niche games don't sell very well on it at all. Look at the sales of some of the recent more interesting but quirky games. They've been pretty poor.

Its rather simple, Demon Souls audience and buyers were set in stone since it stated getting exposure in the west. Why would Sony waste the coin publishing it when they will only sell so many units? I see why they let Atlus have it but Persona 5 will be Atlus' big game and Demon souls is hardly a worthy exchange for it. (and you posed the question as a trade regardless of whether or not you meant that) Really I could see it as a favour but not as any sort of payment, not with how Atlus is run with all the minimal copies printed and small and multiple budgeted games.

Persona is fairly popular, it gained exposure with 3. Anyway, niche games always sell poorly, they're niche for that exact reason :| Its not niche gaming if half a million other people are enjoying the game.

I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't prefer Persona 5 on the PS3, but I would honestly take it for any system/handheld. I love the Persona series, so I'll take it anyway I can get it.

So that you won't be dissapointed, I suggest you guys wait for an official PR statement.

No way, I really want one on the PS3. High def graphics would make the already beautiful PS2 games look infinitely better. I'm getting kinda tired of the PS2 graphics.
