I know we didnt agree on DW9, but boy am I with you on this one!
it's only gonna increase the sense of entitlement in some people, I feel. Almost entirely because Joker being in Smash needs to be "earned". But like, not with this and Q2.
Atlus - I like you, but you've got to start making some sense, honey.
No agreement at all we would definitely know if there was one it's just another weird Atlus thing to keep these games on one platform.
You know, I really suck at fighting games and my friends do too. I understand why people like their fighters, but for me there's not much to love. At least a musou, if it's done correctly, offers a great single player experience. I do agree with the people saying it should be more like Hyrule Warriors than FE Warriors.
Atlus just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Nintendo portbegging (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is PS4 where you can become successful by not porting your games on Switch. If you screw someone over on Nintendo platform, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is that Nintendo fans, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Persona 5 Scramble for either system, nor will they purchase any of Atlus games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Atlus has alienated an entire market with this move.
Atlus, publicly apologize and port P5R to Switch or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Fighting games aren't the same as musou games and the story of the Arena games allowed for the crossing over (which Scramble may not since Persona 5 intentionally distances itself from the rest of the games) but, yes, they'd need to bring in characters from all four of the previous Persona titles to give it a list of playable characters equal to what people expect from one.
You really need about thirty and you're not even getting ten from Persona 5 alone.
Don't kid yourself, if a port eventually happens, it'll be a vanilla version of P5, because this is atlus. :p
The rest of the phantom thieves being playable is gonna be awesome. Haru with her axe, grenade launcher and Persona are gonna be great fun
Morgana is totally going to go into car form and plow through enemies like The King of Red Lions or Toon Link with the spirit train in Hyrule Warriors

These games tend to just use portals as their excuse for why characters appear
Eehhh Musou is absolutely not my wheelhouse. Will probably skip this like the dancing games.
I wanted this to be a shooter or some kind of actual action RPG. Can't have everything I guess.
At least the concert was really awesome (no Arena music was kind of a bummer though).
Speaking of Arena I'll be old and grey before I get another ArcSys Persona fighter eh? (I know they are pretty busy atm, just sucks as I LOVED P4A/U).

Judging by how Atlas play we get a port p persona q instead
"Bad at communicating" is an understatement. Atlus is miserably awful at attempting to drum up hype while also being incredibly vague. They'll announce an announcement of an announcement, offer little to no detail, followed by months of radio silence. Combine that with Joker in Smash and of course you get people assuming what appears to be obvious.
Hopefully end it. With the announcement of a spinoff on Switch but not Royal, I think it's clear that Atlus either:
1. Has a deal in place with Sony for mainline Persona games
2. Simply isn't interested in putting mainline Persona games on anything other than Playstation
If Persona 5 is ever coming to Switch, or if mainline Persona will ever go multiplatform at all, it isn't happening any time soon.
They didn't tease anyone besides Joker and the OC how about you be patient?
Hyrule Warriors only showed Link in it's first trailer too.
Willing to bet this could sell to every single Switch owner in the world and Switch would still not get P5R.
Berserk Band of the Hawk had 8 playable characters and that game was awful. So small roster could go either way.
it was obvious from day 1 that Joker in Smash was just advertising for the Persona Musou game.
Saw it comin from a mile away folks

Are you kidding me. What person in their right mind would see Joker in Smash and think that meant nothing. This thread's overwhelmingly negative reaction vindicates that Atlus' handling of this has been an absolute shitshow. That isn't anyone's fault but Atlus's
Of course people are going to make up a narrative, especially when there's so much fuel. How Atlas didn't account for this though is just nuts - obviously people were going to react this way, and they should have seen that from miles away. Any controversy is absolutely Atlus' fault for how dismally they handled this.
However funny this situation is* at least there's a small chance of Switch owners playing a good P5 game.

Glad it's not a fighting game since that's what I was expecting. I'll actually play this one then.
What was obvious? I'll give you the fact that the announcement of announcement shit was dumb, but Persona 5 on Switch was the product of nothing other than wishful thinking and bullshit rumors.
P5R was in dev long ago. Considering the small team. They probably just were not able too. Especially when the company is on SMTV. On the Switch for the first time. They just are not capable
Does not mean it will never happen. But do not expect anything until at least next year. They don't have any specific deal. They are not gonna bother porting P5 vanilla either if they were busy working on Royal. And if Nintendo wanted to port it internally, they would have thought the same thing
I agree, it would be much more appealing to me, if it included P3 and P4 characters. Really don't like anyone from the P5 cast, so P5S is really uninteresting to me. Knowing both Atlus and Koei Tecmo, they will make us pay big time for P3&4 characters, I can already see it coming...
