If I would've judge SMT games in general from that expierence I would've never have come back.

Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
All these new systems are nice but what I want to see at E3 is Persona 5. Please?

Nobody outside of Japan was paying any attention to the PS2 back in December of 2008/early 2009 in Europe. And once PS3s lost their backwards compatibility, a lot of people didn't have any way of playing it. Since then, the series has garnered a lot of buzz, but the re-releases that have followed have only released on PSP and Vita, the former being dead outside of Japan and the latter being almost dead everywhere. If P5 actually releases on a system people can play it on, it could do very, very well (relative to what Atlus usually does, at least).

Oh no. Do you realize what you've done? I can already hear the wailing call of "PERSONA ISN'T REAL SMT!"
I agree with all of this. And Sony has their ear to the ground when it comes to the tastes of the core.
And I mean the actual core, not the mainstream CoD crowd. If they can see the value in indies and F2P MMOs, they can see Persona is worth something.
P5 would be cheap to nab and it would sell a few PS4s. Sounds like a good plan and again, an inexpensive one. That's the key. You sell some systems and win some brownie points with the most vocal, critical (often fickle) group.

It'll probably be revealed in Famitsu.

I would love for this thing that is never going to happen to happen.
I used to think the same thing, until I played P4G. That's when I realized just how powerful the story was. Don't get me wrong, but I think P3 has an amazing story that rivals P4's, but the direction in P4 is what gave it that extra gravitas. The narrative had near perfect pacing and great timing. The gameplay of P4 is on another level compared to P3. Hell, the Golden puts P3 in the ground in the gameplay department. It's a more tightly woven package.
I have a feeling P5 will be great, I'm just worried about getting my expectations high being that 99% of games just can't match it.
By the way, if we were going by solely story I'd put DDS2 above both P3&4.

luckily I am not that kind of guy
... But it isn't. The first game was sold under the moniker "Megami Ibunroku" in Japan, same as Devil Survivor is now. Later Persona games dropped the "Megami _____" label entirely. Hell, Persona in the States was marketed as "Revelations: Persona" on the Playstation. The games are only all under the SMT umbrella in the West, in Japan they're marketed separately.
Let's go with this.

just to set the record straight before this conversation starts....Persona is not SMT, but both Persona and SMT are Megaten games.

I know. I just think it's funny how worked up some people get over it.
...D'oh. Okay, I'm an idiot. Ignore me, etc.
I like that logic, because their fifth system isn't the PS4, it's the Vita/PSV. And V also is the latin number 5, really obvious!

never heard of the vita. is that something new?
Those trailers were from Famitsu, not TGS. P3, FES, P4, P3P, and P4G (along with the other contemporary MegaTens) were all revealed in Famitsu. The only one I'm not sure of is P4A. There's no reason to believe P5 would be revealed in a different manner.
I just recently finished Nocturne, and I'm pre-ordering SMT IV.
TGS or a magazine reveal seems more likely for a Persona game, eh? Wasn't the latest SMT game revealed in Jump?
If the past is any indication I would say it will be a PS3 game after PS4 launch, but with PS4 not having PS3 BC, perhaps not.
lol

Persona isn't SMT
There's always 1
Thankfully most people on GAF haven't crucified for that remark yet. I make it quite a lot actually. I mean it says SMT above persona after all ( I know the difference but its just sonething I do)
You forgot the last part to your sentence, so I added it in for you.
nah mang, they should be playing DemiKids

TGS or nothing.
I really hope Persona doesn't become the new sequel-begging franchise after Kingdom Hearts.
Absolutely.

Absolutely.
I really don't care. I want it on PS4 or PSVita and that would be enough for me.
Multi? Well, if they do, they should bring every SMT game on every plattform too...
Now Dantis, just because school uniforms are your fetish doesn't mean that the rest of us want to feel like we're playing an enjo kousai simulator.
As to the music, eh. I don't like jPop, but I think Meguro's best work was in DDS and Strange Journey. DDS is tops all around though.
I imagine they're going to be showing SMTIV and probably the first English screens from Break Record.
5 years already??? Goddamn that somehow makes me sad as hell...

Because it's a console launch year, I assume Japan will be keeping up with E3. Also, they do play more then animu waifu games, you guys. I doubt that Atlus is going to reveal P5, though I wouldn't be shocked if they did right after E3. Something big is obviously happening on the Final Fantasy front, and at least in the west, and I'd assume Japan, there is a big overlap in that crowd. I wouldn't want to be talking about my 2D cutscene cult hit PS3 swan song game while SE is over there teasing the glorious HD pretty boys and girls with zippers spectacle that people have been yelling about for the better part of the decade. Also, considering Arena, I wouldn't be shocked at a close to simultaneous release. Maybe a week, maybe a month. But with the P4 anime, P4A and Catherine doing so well, it's not a much of a risk. P5, whenever it releases, will sell.
I also don't think that Atlus has nothing new to show though. Maybe a new localization, maybe an HD collection (Digital Devil Saga?) but it isn't P5.

I want to see Shenmue 3; it's been almost 11 years. What does Persona 5 and Shenmue 3 have in common? They're both niche titles that aren't really for E3. Wait for Famitsu to announce it.
I would pay a lot for this.
Mhmm. Because Kaneko's and Soejima's art is defined by the school uniforms (Although as an aside, Soejima's uniforms do look pretty hip!) and Meguro's music is defined by J-Pop.
'Twill be a truly frabjous day.

Unless it's not on PS3 I don't see how it could be "interesting". Unless we're not thinking of the same kind of "interesting".
Not gonna happen.
Ya think?
GAF will be down longer for the announcement than a Nintendo Direct.
This will be a localisation, I presume, not a full Atlus title.
I can't imagine Atlus US announcing something before Atlus JP.
