Argh hope it gets released in Europe.. if not, is psp regionfree?
Can't decide if I should finish P3:FES now :/ Guess I should since I'm over 40 hours in.

The new MC is hawt.

PSP is region-free (except for UMD movies).

^ Great I'll def. get it even if it doesn't come to Europe then. Now I just need a PSP :p

Haha, I forgot about that. Of course when the time comes, I won't let him have my punani.

@sc94597, I'm thinking the same too - SMT main series / spin-offs on the DS while PSP gets Persona. I'm a little disappointed because I would rather have them on consoles, but I can understand why they're releasing them on handhelds. Anyways, this pretty much pushed me to buy a PSP next year.

Yeah, me too, i actually hope P5 to be ps3/360 game or at least psp. But what makes me sad is that a multiplat ps3/360 could easily sell 600k worldwide, and they don't need to push graphics, making something better than p4 is already enough to me and most persona fans... And making something better looking isn't any hard since p4 graphics aren't great, even for ps2 standards...

I'd much rather have P5 on any of the home consoles really...hopefully it doesn't land on the psp.
My P3/P4 sessions ran something like 5-8hrs, I don't really manage anywhere close to that on the psp >_>

It most likely would sell that much on PSP, or more with a PSP/PS2 or even Wii multiplat. It would also be much cheaper. Atlus isn't a company that has a large enough series to keep them alive if one of their games causes a drain in their overall budget. Also Jrpgs are the genre that needs extra power gameplay-wise the least, especially turn based traditional ones. The only benefit HD Consoles will give is better graphics, and I don't think that is enough of a benefit to give up more profit for. It is just smarter overall to release it on a handheld, and imo the game would be better because they could put that money that they would spend on things required on an HD Console into more important things.

I want a HD consoles persona, but sure i don't want a P5 at Wii, hell, they could make it on DS,PSP,360,PS3 or even PS2 again, but please, no Wii!

When Monster Hunter 3 was a Ps3 game i had it in my list, but once they decided to make it a wii game i just gave up of the game. I admit, i'm a wii hater with all my soul, i don't know why, maybe because it loads of shit games. I mean, i don't have anything against simple games that are made to play with family and friends for some quick fun, but can't stand ultra-low quality games that looks worse than many ps1 games selling more than some nice titles over there.

Well, i think that hd games just get expensive when you try to push graphics actually, if you try just okay graphics or little-less than average it should be cheap to make. I don't believe Valkyria Chronicles costed more than 10 million dolars to Sega or Tales of Vesperia costed more than 10 million dolars to Namco Bandai or Disgaea 3 costed more than 1 million to NIS.

for persona 5:

360/PS3 - highly unlikely considering the kind of budget Atlus has graphic wise

Wii - mmmm cant see it happening considering its a M rated series and those dont sell well on the wii given the userbase.

DS - Graphic wise i dont see it happening either

PSP - well considering the graphic level is on par with the PS2, and given P1 remake and the P3 port are comming(that and the install base in japan), this is the only logical choice that makes sense in the long run.
