PQ2 has more chances to be localized than EOX, what are people on about here lol
edit: even if it's a 2020 release here.

I'm actually more surprised they hit the 2018 release date after 1 year of nothing.
It's Atlus. Outside of P5 they usually hit release targets. Their typical pattern is "tease game->nothing for like, a year or two->announce game properly three months before release->release". Sometimes they don't even have that first step.

Based on the screenshot of the UI in OP, looks like the sub-Persona system from PQ1 is returning.

No, but he's not in the group shot so i assume not
Someone spotted what looks like him in this picture.

He also has a Q model for the Dancing DLC.

This is a fan service spin-off their not neglecting one of their most popular characters.

Alright, people holding out for FeMC have no excuse now.

I couldn't quite bring myself to finish the first game, but at least the second game actually got made at all. And still a 3DS exclusive.

OP, you should maybe put "for Japan" in the title. Those who know will know but those who haven't kept up might be pissed when they find out this has even not been announced for localization yet.

FeMC? :O I almost thought they were trying to sweep her under the rug to pretend she never existed.

This is pretty much all I could have asked for in the sequel, so day one fro sure whenever this gets localized.

I wonder if it helped that Katsura Hashino moved to another dev team for their fantasy project and if he was the one erasing FeMC

2019 in the west then? Sounds good to me, I'm morbidly curious how long the 3DS can keep going.:D

FeMC gets neglected, but she's still part of the successful P3 family.

P1 & P2 were locked up long ago and Philemon is too busy with the new kids to give a damn.

Odds are Philemon's just been on vacation the past 18 years and he just sends a butterfly out every now and then so people think he's still working tbh

I wonder how they're going to implement FeMC into the plot. Hopefully she's an actual party member/protag and not just an NPC.

Why would he be in? Iirc these are canon and he's dead.
Well at least this one isn't going to be canon lol. But in the last one they
took the P3 cast from before Shinji died
, so they'll likely take the P5 cast from mid Casino or something

How does being able to have social links with the guys in your party make it a worse story than P3?
That's not what I would consider a story thing. I was referring to
saving Shinjiro

I'm gonna have to pass on this since my 3DS is dead. But seeing that FeMC is not is great news. She's my favourite Persona protagonist.

Sold. The soundtrack alone will validate this game's existence.

Now I just hope that this game's penultimate dungeon isn't an overly long slog. Also, here's hoping that this one doesn't forget to have a story until endgame like the first PQ did.

I'm super glad about this, cause it would mean that we may hear more about other Persona related projects (or Catherine) after PQ2 finally comes out.

That and the fact that they remembered FeMC gives me a good feeling that they might give us a female option for Persona 5 Ruby/Crimson or Persona 3 Remake or whatever it is that they are working on next.
