Venocide Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Persona is arguably the biggest JRPG franchise in the world right now, and Persona 5 is the most eagerly-anticipated game in any genre, at least in Japan. Today, IGN can confirm that Persona 5 is indeed coming to the west – as if that comes as any surprise, considering Persona 4’s success – and will launch exclusively on PlayStation 3 later in 2015. Persona 5 was originally revealed in November of 2013, but it was only confirmed for release in Japan at that time. The game has been rumored since 2009, spoken of againin 2011, and again right before its reveal in 2013. The last mainline game in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series – Persona 4 – launched on PlayStation 2 way back in 2008. It was excellent. But by the time Persona 5 finally launches on PS3, at least in North America, it will have been about seven years between releases. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/02/25/persona-5-confirmed-for-west-coming-in-2015 They also plan to localize the spin off titles Persona Q, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and Persona 4 Dancing All Night. http://www.polygon.com/2014/2/25/5444284/persona-5-coming-to-na-in-2015-spin-off-titles-to-be-localized Great news indeed Edited February 25, 2014 by ARKphoenix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryumoau Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I don't care about any of the side games, but i'm glad Persona 5 is coming out next year. This year is too crowded already with jrpgs from the 'Tale of' series that will keep me busy till then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zercoon Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I preorder that as soon as I can. Thanks to regionlock I have to wait for Persona Q. (Maybe Arena too, cause Persona 4 Arena was regionlocked iirc) But I am not interested in Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'll definitely be getting Persona 5, it's a long wait but at least we have a lot of games this year to pass the time, I wasn't too much on Arena but I'll probably be getting the squeal to that one too, Q's out of the question because I don't have a 3DS, & I'm not even going to bother with the dancing one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transi3tor Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Long wait for part 5 but just hope by then they will also give a confirmation that it's coming to the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFA_XxNinjaxX Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've never played any game from the 'Persona' series but since most people really enjoyed the games and I'm a fellow JRPG player I'll try to grab this one. Luckily I'll be occupied with the 'Tales of' games this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
