Based on previous years what are the chances that Atlus USA will announce the English release date for Persona 5 at E3? (And EO5 while we are at it)

I don't remember much about past Atlus E3 presence aside from the year they were inviting awkward nerds to dance at their booth as promotion for Dancing All Night.

There's a rumor passing around that Sony is publishing P5 in the west and that it's gonna get a worldwide release, but there's no real reputable source for it, which probably damns it more than anything else.

I dunno about a release date. An English trailer seems possible, but it's still uncertain. I'd hope (and it seems pretty likely) that P5 in least shows up at Sony's presentation and isn't just relegated to a booth on the show floor.

The reset world of IS is the EP world, which is why Nyarlathotep's plan is to make all the IS kids remember, as that will completely break their deal with Philemon and reunite the worlds. So yeah, I think IS Tatsuya goes back to a city infested with demons and hovering over the dead world. Have fun! On the other hand, EP ends fairly happily, with the world never getting completely destroyed, Sumaru back on the ground and everyone getting on with their lives.

You know, if you ignore how Maya can't have any contact with the Suou brothers ever again and IS Tatsuya just got completely hosed over.


I thought the original idea of the deal with the reset was that it pretty much actually undid the meeting of the kids and Maya so that all that never happened and she didn't have to die. Tastuya hosed that all up by not forgetting creating the paradox and two worlds. Having the EP get created means that IS Maya is still dead so that seems like loving over the deal. I kinda hope that the IS world kinda vanishes into EP sorta but they left the ending unclear. It would suck for everyone else in IS land that really pays for Tatsuya being selfish. Philimon is also kind of a jerk. Either way, it's a bummer!

I definitely got the feeling from the end of P2:EP that they were two distinct worlds, in that the first Tatsuya "went back" at the end effectively surrending the body back to EP's Tatsuya. So yeah, two worlds, two Mayas, etc.

P2's plot is so loving good, I really do think it's the best thing Atlus has penned and it's a big reason why I'm more than willing to look past the more outdated gameplay. Like people say Persona 3 is dark but it's a walk in the loving park compared to P2.

Eikichi getting the poo poo kicked out of him in the school festival and grinning with blood all over his face as he just keeps taking punches to help his girlfriend is one of the best loving cutscenes in anything ever.

Of the two games I actually think I like Innocent Sin more too, because while there are obviously world-shattering events the core of the conflict is deeply personal to the cast themselves. You've got eldritch gods loving around with people and Nazis and poo poo, but it all ultimately boils down to a bunch of kids dealing with a terrible and tragic event from their pasts that they never got over.

Eternal Punishment is interesting in that both narratively and gameplay-wise, it's Innocent Sin: Hardmode. It's also the most mean-spirited thing in the Persona franchise.

The downside to P2 is that the wacky "peek at people in the baths" scene was regulated to the drama CDs.

I realized that all these 'world hangs in the balance' plots is why I enjoyed Catherine. There's no great evil, no Phillipmom, just an idiot dude caught between his lovely lifestyle and his girlfriend trying to man him up. Also a succubus. I wanna see more personal plots in the SMTverse.

This is it, the place I've been looking for. A corner of the internet with reasonably fast and not completely terrible discussion of MegaTen and Persona. E: relatively speaking, of course.

I'm starting on a cosplay for Supanova Brisbane in November, doing the P5 protagonist. Struggling to find suitable tartan for the pants, let alone a ready made pair

You know the ironic-unironic-ironic waifu arguments?

It's that without the irony and with a lot more racial slurs.

That's how I understood it as well. It's not fair, but when you're dealing with the manifestations of everyone's unconsciousness 'fair' kind of goes out the window.

LUMINARY UPPERCUT!!

Probably one of my favorite memories of Catherine now is seeing a play through of it by Slowbeef's wife, and her theory of the premise is that the humans are actually sheep in a zoo, dreaming of how it feels to be human. And I swear it's goofy enough where it could've been canon. :allears:
