Well... this makes the choice of system way simpler. Hopefully the Vita version comes out sooner here aswell.



Because PERSONA 5 and Final Fantasy 15 are coming !!!!!

Great pictures : )



Hold up, Yuki Kaji is voicing Adol?! Nice, he's a great voice actor and hurray for vita priority!



 

This game is going to be awesome on PS Vita!!!

I suspect the PS4 version will be the better of the two because of the visuals.



The names... why?



 

At least I don't need to choose the platform now. I wonder if they'll really push the ps4 version or if it will be an upgraded port.



Vita love baby. Yaaaaaa. Now if we could only get a re-release of Chili-Con-Carnage on the Vita, I could die happy.
