Damn, Atlus. Get your shit together. Persona 5 has been a development shit show, and now they can't even get the localization out in time. This is one of the worst development cycles I've seen past the extreme examples of decade long delays and development restarts.

how?

Delays, delays, and more delays. Delayed from Q4 2014 to 2015 to 2016 with the localization now being pushed back further into 2017. I get that they used a new game engine, and this is the first main Persona title to take full advantage of HD development, but considering production was in full gear by the time Catherine released, that means it took five years to develop and now an additional 7 months to finalize the localization. This from a game that was supposed to have a very tight worldwide release window.

This gives the impression that Atlus has seriously struggled considering the inability to maintain even their vaguest of release windows.
