Persona 5R "New Projects" Teaser Trailer. More details coming March 2019. PS4 confirmed for now.

[Le Dude]

Or maybe people simply can't finish a long-ass (bloated) game like Persona 5 and think that portability would really help.

Lord knows that's my case.

That's pretty much the boat I'm in. I've got a gaming PC and a Switch and lately I've pretty much regulated my gaming PC to shorter games (<30 hours) and games that can be played over and over (DOTA, Civilization, etc . . .).

I've been so tempted to pick up Dragon Quest XI on PC as it's one of my favorite series, but I really want to experience everything the game has to offer and I can't help but feel I'd get partway through it on PC and I'd be too busy to sit down at my PC in finish it, eventually causing a loss of interest. Switch is much better suited to short sessions and makes longer games easier to stomach.

I mean, both yes and no? Nintendo gave Sakurai a list and Sakurai chose 5 from it. It's still entirely possible that the DLC is just DLC and not required to be related to any marketing ploy.

Click to shrink...

To be specific, Sakurai made sure that the characters could actually be made. The wording of the tweet implies nothing of him having a preference in the decisions. You do have a point about marketing, though.

Why are claiming it's a ps4 exclusive despite the fact that it hasn't been confirmed?

Click to shrink...

*Me after reading through your post history*

Dude just chill out :)
Even if (and that's a big if) there's no Switch version you could still play it on your PS4. I mean portability is nice and all, but I think it shouldn't be the sole deciding factor in whether a lengthy game is enjoyable or not.

Why does it matter? Seeing your posts in threads on this, you need to chill fam. It ain't that deep.

imagine if it also comes on the PS3.

I mean its unlikely as fuck, but hey, its Atlus.

That's where I stand than this is anything other than Nintendo and Sakurai choosing joker. Maybe Persona 5 will come to the switch but I still doubt it and haven't seen anything to change my mind.

sounds like Nintendo worked out preliminary deals with third parties and once Sakurai chose a character, Nintendo signed the deal. makes me wonder if there were other Sega/Atlus characters to choose from, like Nanashi, Flynn, Demi-Fiend

 

[mindatlarge]

Again, the Belmonts were Smash Ballot picks chosen by Sakurai. Joker was a Nintendo pick.

Even a better point then, lol.

Cause it has been exclusive for PS4 till now and unless proven otherwise officially, it is still ps4 exclusive still right now.

 

[Legacy]

I'll just be happy for any kind of P5 release on Switch

 

[Enrico25]

Persona = PlayStation
SMT = Nintendo (except III)
Spinoffs don't count.
It's possible Nintendo chose Joker because he might make a cameo in SMTV or they wanted a SMT representative and he is the most popular character in the series (yeah more than Demifiend)

 

[lucancel]

Imho p5 palace were too long. Skipping new teases and looking forward persona 6 whenever atlus Is ready

 

[TwoDelay]

Inb4 this exact trailer plays at the January direct but with the switch logo at the start

 

[Dream Machine]

It would be amazing if they got another crack at the localization of P5 on a remaster.

I'm not holding my breath, but that game really deserved better, and a more natural translation would improve the overall quality immensely. I thought P5 was great, but the game and the actors were held back by an unpolished localization.

 

[Pyro]

Atlus is such a tease. Here's hoping March reveals release date/price/etc. as well as what is new in the game.

 

[Oniletter]

I just find it hilarious some people were celebrating the idea of a Persona 5 Switch exclusive but are suddenly concerned about the financial profitability of the game and pro consumer practices since it was announced for Playstation.

Click to shrink...

This never happened.
People were not "celebrating" a potential Switch exclusive, they were happy to play it the game at all on Switch/ on a portable.

Selective memory and confirmation bias off the charts in here.

Honestly people were, and I couldn't understand it either.

Although as always it's just some people, there's such a range of normal and weird opinions on Era so there's always some people saying that. Then people blow it up as if it's representative of the whole forum.

Well, you're right about selective memory and confirmation bias at least. There absolutely were people celebrating a potential exclusive and there were plenty of comments about "looking forward to the tears" etc. To suggest otherwise is some nonsense. Doesn't excuse the gloating that came afterwards mind, it's annoying as fuck on both sides.

We have a very healthy Nintendo community on Era. The good and bad come with it.

 

[AerialAir]

EOX is coming as Etrian Odyssey Nexus in February. PQ2 has not been announced for localization. I wouldn't expect an EO Switch to be a 2019 release, but a reveal is definitely possible.

Click to shrink...

EOX is described as having "four difficulty settings" and choice "between custom and a standalone story mode".
Is this the same as what happened with the Untold games, with the Classic and Story Modes?

 

[Deleted member 249]

I'll say this again, cause why not:
There is a Persona 5 version coming to Switch. I expect to see it announced by April, but presumably before then.

Going by their other posts there is no source and this is just their opinion.

Anyway y'all, debating this is exhausting and we're going round and round in circles. No one really knows anything. I'll say my piece, then I'm done with this thread, and with P5R/S/T/U/V discussions until we have anything concrete in hand:

• More than one game
• Definitely coming to PlayStation (duh)
• Persona 5 is also coming to Switch, imo, but the announcement tonight was not for it
• We don't... actually... know... what P5R is

I'm glad it exists, whatever it is, and if it is a P5 expansion, re-release, or proper sequel, I'll be there no matter where it comes out.

Click to shrink...

I guess something could have changed though. Several "insiders" on the board have heard something that makes them completely sure there is a switch version but they don't share it.

The best thing you'll get generally is that they might have a private chat with ResetERA staff and reveal their sources to them, and they will declare if they're legit.

For those who have played older Persona games, if R is some type of upgraded version, what does that typically entail? New environments? Dungeons? Characters?

Persona 4 Golden added 2 new social links (and associated personas), one of which led to a bonus postgame sequence and dungeon if you maxed it out. also a bunch of qol and minor features.

I love how people even try to claim that the Switch fanbase is NOT completely bonkers right now about existing/possible exclusive titles.

 

[chandoog]

I hope P5 R is not just a fighting game based on P5. I would love for it to be a FES style enhanced game with a butt load of added content. Native Pro support like 4K or even a 1080p/60 FPS (even though FPS is not that important for this game) would be highly appreciated as well.

I wouldn't mind at all if this gets announced for other devices as well, more people need to play P5.

Click to shrink...

• More content; the original skipped over a few months near the end, but Golden fleshed that period out
• New events peppered throughout the game (even if the fanbase is divided on some)
• New battle theme; old one plays when you ambush an enemy
• Two new social links (one for an entirely new character)
• New dungeon tied to one of the links
• Pretty sure more personas were added for the links that were already there
• Allowed you to pick which skills your persona fusions would inherit (it was random before)
• Added skill cards
• Some boss fights were rebalanced
• 3rd evolution for party member Personas
• Parts of the UI were changed

And probably more I'm forgetting. It was a pretty beefy update.

The trailer said "New Projects", so I guess multiple games is one of the few things that's actually confirmed right now. :P

Yeah, that's what I think as well. P5R is the umbrella for a bunch of games they'll release, and we got other web domain registrations for those: P5U, P5AG, P5B, P5S, P5M (or a subset of those). But if there's smoke, there is fire, so that enhanced version and that fighting game are definitely coming. ;)

All these "insiders" have been constantly wrong again and again. (Still waiting on Starfox GP and Metroid Prime HD Trilogy)

Any shmuck could see Joker in Smash Ultimate and put two and two together about P5 coming to Switch. That reminds me, why didn't any of these "insiders" predict Joker's Smash appearance?

It also added a whole extra month to play in (January), which made it possible to max every S.Link on one playthru without following a guide.

Yah I 100% am still taking the Smash announcement as foreshadowing. Just hope if it comes to Switch that Switch doesn't get kind of vanilla version that is different than the expanded version. For some reason I've been thinking this would be a great way that the rumor is true but would still sting.

 

[Mekanos]

I'd be pretty disappointed if P5R didn't come to Switch because without portability there's little to no incentive to double dip. I'd rather just replay it on NG+.

It would certainly be an interesting move on Nintendo's part to put Joker in Smash without a Switch port, though.

The biggest change for me was the ability to actually walk around and explore town - the original Persona 4 you teleported to where you wanted to go to, in P4G the town was a connected world you could walk through.

This will be a controversial opinion but I wouldn't mind if one of those projects was Persona 5-2 now with the adult version of P5 cast.

Added content like new event scenes, new dungeons, new characters for the main party, more branches to the social elements of the game and often they add expanded game time (The game runs on a calender system, and both the P3 and P4 re-releases added 1 extra playable month, normally the games go from April to December, but the re-releases added January to playable time too), which makes maxing out and seeing all possible social events in a single play through more easy.

 

[Deleted member 16365]

It would never happen, but how awesome would it be to start P5r in NG+ with a completed Persona 5 save instead of having to start over?
