Catherine Full Body Coming Soon to the Americas and Europe for PS4

Renfran · Jan 10, 2019

Official website from Atlus just updated with Western tease after Catherine Classic's announcement today. Figured it deserves its own thread since it's separate from Catherine Classic and Vita isn't mentioned at all. PS4 only in the West.

wasn't this known already?

Awesome! Need more Catherine!

That's a pretty good poster.

Sweet, will skip the Steam port, then.

FluxWaveZ · Jan 10, 2019

That's been announced since December 2017.

They did make the announcement before very vaguely, but this directly makes an official announcement for it alongside Catherine Classic's announcement today. It was just updated today with PS4 and no Vita, when before they didn't specify any platform.

This.

And it'd still silly they're not bringing it to Switch instead of Vita in the west - would more than make up for the effort of porting it.

First official (Internet) mention of the platforms.

Sorta. There was that slide from a presentation at EGX 2018 that only mentioned PS4. I tried reaching out to Atlus at the time to see if that meant no Vita in the west, and had a bit of a back and forth with them, but never actually got an answer.

How soon is soon tho

Yeah, I mainly mean the actual localization announcement in December 2017. For platforms, Atlus USA has been oblique about it, but since then, it's pretty much silently been "only PS4."

That's what I figured so this is definitely the first official mention. Thanks Sal.

Wow, so much good stuff all coming so soon. :)

atlus gonna atlus. If they are interested in mutliplatform development, i'd argue they better go all the way with it

Comes out in Japan really soon but this makes me think they're localizing the Western version at the same time so maybe it's 2019 too

mrmickfran · Jan 10, 2019

Hope they managed to keep the voice cast.

Laura Bailey and Troy Baker were amazing in their respective roles.

Obvious solution: import Vita, localize PS4.

So what's the difference between Classic and Full Body?
If full body is a remaster and Classic is just original game then why is PC getting Classic now instead of getting Full Body with rest of the versions later?

Classic is the original game.

Full Body is a "Golden" version of sorts with a bunch of new content/scenes/characters/etc

Brix · Jan 10, 2019

Awesome. I'm guessing sometime this year. Get that platinum!

Because reasons.

It's like BlazBlue all over again lol.

john titor · Jan 10, 2019

Will PS Vita version of the game planned for release in JP have English subs/localization?

I see.
Seems kinda weird to make a PC launch for classic then with Full Body being close.

NoKisum · Jan 10, 2019

With all the censorship stuff I keep seeing with PS4 games lately, I'm not convinced Catherine Full Body is even coming out over here.

Cokesouls · Jan 10, 2019

God I love Atlus games.

No official word but no, no reason to.

Renfran · Jan 10, 2019

Requesting a mod to update the title to "Catherine Full Body Coming Soon to the Americas and Europe for PS4 only" so there's no confusion about the Vita version. Thank you.

Also, thanks Gematsu for the further clarification.

Totally cool with both Steam and Sony censoring pedo stuff.

Jeb · Jan 10, 2019

So Classic is just the PS3 version vanilla port?

What's the point?
A more complete version is coming, why get it there?

I can definitely see Sony cancelling the game a week or so prior to its planned release date.

Eeeeh good luck with the babel towers. I had to give up at some point, for my own sanity.

It'd be interesting to see how I perform now tho

Wandu · Jan 10, 2019

This will be my first time playing Catherine. Looking forward to it.

I can't enter any numbers on that stupid site, anyone else?

TELL ME ABOUT IT. I honestly hope it's coming this year. Releasing it on Vita in Japan, is literally sending that game to die.

Cause this is a port by Sega Europe. The remake is by Atlus JP, hasn't released yet, and don't do PC ports themselves.

I guess Sega Europe could work with Atlus JP directly, but I doubt it.

That image alone gave me a good laugh seeing that post. I needed that. But I wouldn't be surprised if Fully Body is censored tho, judging by Sony's recent trend.

I meant the Catherine site in the OP. Works on mobile but not on desktop/chrome browser. Weird

Not Sony, but Atlus, since it is their game. It's no secret that Sony has been coming down hard lately on anime styled games with any note of sexuality to them. And with Catherine's heavy themes involving sexual encounters, and the oddly huge lack of any release window, I'm getting a strong feeling it's not happening, at least in the way Atlus intended. Best case scenario, some major scenes and scenarios will be cut from the Western release.

Jeb · Jan 10, 2019

Also, whos handling the PC version?

Me and my friends have a bad history with japanese devs and PC ports.

Atlus Japan has been avoiding the PC platorm for a long while so if its by them, then this should be a test run for Atlus PC ports going forward.

It's success also should tell whether we would get Atlus on PC, shame if it's sales get canniblized by Full Body's upcoming release.
