I expected Sakura Wars from Sega to show up before Persona 5. PC still needs the Persona 3 port that was rumored a while ago.

Who cares though. Xbox is probably going to buy Sega and piss on Atlus to help them grow. I can't wait. The meltdowns will be so salty. Just look at the comments in this thread already.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I'd love Persona 3, 4 and 5 on Game pass. Gimme gimme.

 

[Horatius]

with how happy they were with Persona 4 on PC, i can't imagine they'd hold off a quick xbox/pc port job forever, easy money

 

[cireza]

even before nintendo?

doubt

That's what happens when you release deprecated hardware.

Persona on Xbox has been looking likely for some time now.

Is there an actual market for this crap outside of Japan?

Calm down Chad, the games pretty fuckin good

Were talking about a PS2 and PS3 game lol.

 

[Mr.ODST]

If Persona comes to Xbox I don’t see how MS won’t be buying SEGA, fist Yakuza and now this are huge reasons to get a PlayStation.

If this is true, when will Xbox stop coming out with amazing news just been absolute bangers everyday, I can’t wait!

 

[Pallas]

Would be pretty big but I’m still waiting for P3P and Persona 4 golden console ports that won’t happen.

Honestly wish Atlus would just package a Persona mythology like collection set with the PSP ports of the entire series for at the very least PS4/PS5 and Switch. Xbox would be a bonus.

Who is this Jez jabroni?

 

[splattered]

For anyone that says "Who cares, it's just an old game" ... you do realize that this is how the NEW games end up on the system right? Starts with older ports while the new games are in development. What a time to be alive... never thought i'd see a return to a japanese focus on Xbox. Wow.

 

[Chessmate]

Just open up a new forum for all the tremendous Xbox News. PhilGaf. This is getting a little hard to keep track of, and somehow the rest of the news on Gaf is kind of lame.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Just give me the best Persona game! P4G!!!!!!! P4G!!!!! P4G!!!!!!

 

[MAtgS]

Listen, hear that? That's the sound of dozens of Switch owners shooting their brains out.

All of Phil’s trips to Japan finally starting to pay off?

 

[Mr.ODST]

“Xbox has no games”
“Gamepass is shit”
“Xbox will never get the good JRPGs”

becareful what you wish for MS is going all in this gen

Meh - screw it - hopefully this will get me the 100 reaction trophy like La tua coscienza

No reaction begging.

 

[Kagey K]

No reaction begging.

If this post gets 10,000 reactions I’ll smash my series X live on Tik Tok.

 

[MagnesG]

I mean that will be sad if it comes to Xbox first.

 

[Hendrick's]

Did Jez delete the tweet?

 

[Aion002]

P5 Royal on Game Pass would be amazing. P5 Royal, P4 Gold and P3 FE would be jaw dropping.

 

[Kagey K]

 

[Griffon]

Sega give us P5 Royal on Steam you cowards.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

No interest in Persona but if Microsoft can get that on Game Pass for Xbox, that's huge for the platform and im fully expecting a long term contract/deal with Sega sooner rather than later for their future releases in addition to the current deals that they have with Sega.

 

[shoplifter]

Plot twist: it’s P1 and both P2s and I’m super happy

 

[Kumomeme]

i guess if it happen, they would port the spin off game first. like persona 5 strikers for example and see how it's reception before port the main game persona 5/royal. we see similliar stuff on pc.

 

[Unknown?]

I mean I guess the Xbox strategy is to just make a big deal out of ports of years old games. That’s counted as support for the Xbox for years now.

Series X/S have been relying on old games since launch. Sounds about right.

 

[Little Chicken]

I might end up trying the highest rated game of last generation after all, because I certainly wasn't going to pay for it!

 

[NonPhixion]

I am sure that the Switch can play a PS3 game.

 

[01011001]

of course it's coming to Xbox, Sega will soon be first party after all

I don't know why people have this image of people that play JRPG's that they are all scrawny, virgin, out of shape looking nerds or social misfits. The most weeb dude I know is an amateur boxer. he just loves JRPG's and and anime. Me and my friends played high school sports and still play in a basketball rec league. If you saw me and my friends you would never think oh this dude is into Magic the Gathering and videogames and anime. I just think labels are stupid as hell.

 

[cireza]

Yeah... That's how bad the Switch is.

Persona 5 is one of my favorite games of this gen, one of the few I actually bothered to plat. Sure I don't fit his demographical view of JRPG fans. I'm a 45 year old married combat vet that competes in powerlifting lol.

Look out, big tough bad ass here. The irony of making fun of people who enjoy jrpgs while being on a video game message board. Video games as a whole have suffered from a stigma of being that thing that kids, nerds and virgins do, but you want to lash out at people in the same group as you. Give me a break. Sort your shit out.

 

[drganon]

Dont know who this Jez guy is or how reliable he is, but if true it's cool news for xbox and probably pc fans of jrpgs who dont own a ps 3/4/5. Persona 5 is a fantastic game that finally got me into jrpgs after years of writing the genre off completely.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

So all we need is a smiley face and that’s confirmation?

 

[Shmunter]

I’m still waiting for free Xbox live Jizz Cartoon

That would have sold me

Heh, people wonder why Japanese games normally skip the XBOX.....

That’s generally the reaction I hear from most XBOX gamers. The majority of them are just not into these types of games, so IF Microsoft is buying Sega imo it wouldn’t make much sense and Sega will not be the same.

Persona 5 sold millions on PS4 and even on the PS3. If it hits 100,000 on XBOX, I’ll be very surprised. I guess it could do OK on Gamepass out of curiosity from gamers though. I think Persona 5 is a really good game. If this rumor is true, XBOX gamers should give it a chance.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Switch is the obvious home for Persona, not Xbox (or even PlayStation tbh)

Didn’t Persona 5 sell approximately 5 to 6 million units on PlayStation though?

 

[FingerBang]

Take this for what it's worth, but I don't think he's talking about P5 and P5R. I have heard Sony has put some money in the development of the games and that's the reason something as natural as P5 on Switch hasn't happened.

This is probably P5S. Happy to be proven wrong.

 

[kraspkibble]

this would be huge.

i'm itching to get a Playstation just to replay Persona 5 Royal again. if it were to come to Xbox/PC then that's another nail the coffin for Playstation (for me).

 

[kraspkibble]

#3 rated game on PS4 of all time (metacritic). behind only GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.

so yeah i'd say there is a market for this "crap dorky shit".

 

[Dane]

how reliable is this tweet?

50/50, he got right that Gearbox was about to be acquired (Embracer bought) and that FF7R would appear on PS+.

Now if it was a wink or some other such I’d be inclined to agree.

 

[Virt McPolygon]

Persona 5 Royal hitting Game Pass would be huge.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

The salt is reaching critical level.

Not a few people here will buy the umpteenth rerelease of GTAV when it’s out, but sure, XBox getting Persona means nothing because the game is years old.

 

[Karak]

Matty from our podcast has been hitting this for far longer. I don't ask his sources but on things like this he has been right more than wrong.

 

[Sakura]

Finally Xbox owners will be able to see how horrible Persona 5's characters and story are

Gameplay is good though.

Yep. Somehow gets even worse in Royal too.
