Three new Persona games were just announced at the recent Persona Concert.

To start the ball rolling, it is Persona Q2, a squeal to Persona Q for the Nintendo 3DS.
Next we have two more spin off games, Persona 3 Dancing Moon and Persona 5 Dancing Star Night which appears to be similar to Persona 4 Dancing all Night and will be coming to PS4 and PS Vita.
So, whose excited? I sure cant wait for Q2, as for the other two games, I'll probably give them a shot

Wow that's a lot of new info, does Project: sync have a separate topic already?

I'd like to come back to the main subject. I had an impression that Atlus was implying with the release of Persona Q: "We know you want Persona on Nintendo platforms but we promised the main series to Sony so that's all what we can offer you now". I remember first trailers of TMS having P3 & 4 characters in them what was scrapped in favor of our new cast - maybe favorably since P4DAN's plot seems like conceived in the same brainstorming session. So this time Q gets a sequel maybe among others to make up for the lack of P5 port on Switch. Same for new dancing games on Vita. We all know P5 could run smoothly on both Switch and Vita but only PS3 and 4 were chosen.

As we know Disgaea and Fate series (re)surfaced on Nintendo platforms recently so I think there is a possiblity of P5 on Switch but slighter then those two and also some time would have to pass. P5's gameplay structure is actually more structured for a handheld than TV IMHO. So let's keep our fingers crossed.

Project Sync has no topic since there isnt really much to discuss aside from theorising etc..

Regarding this, i too thought that Atlus just released PQ on a Nintendo platform in order to give them something rather that nothing. But recently it has become quite clear that Persona games will be mostly Sony only.BUT SMT on the other hand will be Nintendo only by the looks of things right now at least. However, this whole PQ & PQ2 fiasco could mean that we could see more persona games in the coming years on Nintendo platforms but only in the form of spinoffs.
Actually i would not be surprised if Atlus decided to make a SMT spin off like PQ and put that on a Sony console rather than Nintendo.

SO essentially spin offs will be on either platforms but mainline entries will be Sony for Persona and Nintendo for SMT

i am curious though as to where Tokyo Mirage Sessions 2 and Project Re fantasy will fit in here though in terms of which platform they will be released on.

Also dont forget the past SMT games like DDS which Atlus could remaster at anytime if they wanted too.

I don't care what disgusting weeaboo shit they do with Persona, as long as it stays away from Shin Megami Tensei i'm good.

 

[guisadop]

[DarthDub]

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

That's more on the line of Persona than the main SMT series itself. Persona has all the dancing and singing, and dating thingy, they just happen to have similar demons to command. Different strokes for different folks then.

I mean, the game is called Shin Megami Tensei x FE and the initial trailer did show SMT characters :shrugs:

Kind of like if it were a serial killer, that's not SMT's M.O. Somehow it got tainted.
SMTxFE were probably wanted by Persona fans the most.
But anyway it doesn't really matter. One look at it and no one would think it's an SMT game. It is only SMT in name. Everyone knows it's a spinoff. Persona also have the SMT title back then, until they dropped it, I guess it is something that can be attached or detached, or thrown around.
So now I wondered how well that game went on the Wii U. It might get ported to the Switch because they can't have Persona games. They also need the sing, dance, summon demons kind of game. Wow, I realized Tokyo Mirage Sessions is Persona with Night dancing elements combined!
It's kind of like Bollywood, fans of Bollywood won't watch a movie without singing and dancing in it.

 

[Tsubakiandou]

neat

 

[NORBIN]

Fuck yes. I can't get any of these games but I'll enjoy the OSTs Just so happy to see more P5 stuff going on.
