Persona 5 The Royal announced for PS4, more details to come April 24

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-03-23-persona-5-the-royal-announced-stars-a-mysterious-new-female-character

Only thing that we know so far is female protagonist. Your thoughts, SW? Excited?

Is it a totally new character? Or could it be Hifumi Togo?

I remember hearing she was originally one of your main party members (very late in development) and they cut her out at the last minute.

Only hoping we will get a better pacing and less cat forcing me to sleep. Also please end this game in Feb or March following year so I can splend more time with Haru.

In April will be another teaser saying that more details will be coming on may.

Good for girls I guess. No idea why the male fans would care.

Your trolling act could be a little less obvious

@MonsieurX: how am I trolling? People want to play games through their perspective. Being forced to play a male or female can cause a troubled psyche.

So I am glad they are giving the choice.

If anyone wants to gender bend be my guest I am pro lgbt

@MonsieurX: you can’t troll system wars because the premise of the forum is to argue/bait into arguing about what system is better.

Only way to troll would be sucking up to the mods or everyone and being very agreeable

Is this DLC Or something? Why is it Persona 5 the royal... as opposed to Persona 6 since we already have Persona 5....

I'm already not sure what to make of the Persona series in essence and now I don't know what to make of this since it's some kinda bonus episode or something and who knows how if probably won't be worth it.

@raining51: Probably a P5 special edition, like the P3 and P4 special editions.

It sounds almost like...a DLC expansion? Maybe a standalone one, with a parallel story?

I really don't know what to make of this yet. Still, it doesn't sound like the rumoured revamp version - maybe that will be Persona S.

@StrongDeadlift: Nah, that's not Hifumi. She's in a different school. The girl in the trailer is clearly wearing a Shujin uniform.

There's that thought some'd rather stare at the opposite sex's ass all day if they're gonna be playing a character, common for mmo people. Doesn't take too long to stretch that towards other games.

so that means persona 5 Royal definitive edition for switch will be announced at E3 then.

cool.

Girls have no issues identifying with male protagonists. There's no reason why the reverse can't be true.

Hhhmm this might actually explain why they haven't released it on PC yet, because ATLUS hasn't finished milking the cows lol.

@DonaId: troubled psyche? Lol wut.

The lack of a PC version should indicate how well Cathrine Classic sold on Steam.

I can only hope that PC gamers will FINALLY realize that the Japanese PC scene will always be a series of glorified petitions.

Half-assed port. Check.
Not even the Full Body version. Check.

Recipe for disaster, if you ask me. Then again, Atlus hasn't released a proper PC game for a while now.

But Japanese games are selling well on PC. Capcom games are clear evidence of it.

If it was the Full Body version, Catherine would've sold much better on PC.

Also, From Software. Capcom and FromSoft are the most successful Japanese devs on PC.

There's still the issue of "buy x so y can be on PC". Most developers from Japan will expect PC gamers to like their most recent release regardless of what game you'd rather they port instead. (i.e: Fans of Tales, Tekken and/or SoulCalibur are expected to like Ace Combat 7 and God Eater 3 because same developers)

I am saying that Atlus is an example of what happens when you don't support a Japanese developer when it's inconvenient for you.

:P

Already know I'm gonna get this. Unless some horrible news comes forth about it, which is highly unlikely. Excellent game.

@flashn00b: That mentality is bad if the game has issues on the platform.

One day I think I'll go back to Persona 3 FES maybe and figure out how I really felt about this game because that's the first introduction to the whole genre/series IMO.

lemmings and sheeps drooling in constipation for this exclusive
