The biggest upcoming JRPG of 2017, Persona 5, has received yet another delay. According to the PlayStation Blog, Persona 5 will now release on April 4, 2017. But! To compensate, the game will now have dual audio. You heard right, there will be both English and Japanese audio options. It doesn't take away the sting of the delay, but it's nice to hear regardless. PlayStation Experience Anahiem will have a playable English demo on December 3 for fans to try at kiosks.

Oh well, another weeb game delayed. You guys already have plenty to play and there's plenty of others coming out too.

I-it's more than a weeb game ;-;

I don't really see the need for that in the first place. The English dub of Persona 4 Golden was pretty good.

Same. I think the English voice acting in Persona 4 was superb. Would never switch it for something else.

This hurts my soul on so many levels

I can wait. Dual audio is a good addition and makes up for the delay. I just got my copy of the Japanese version and the game is great.

 

[Pluupy]

This is good...kind of. I'm having trouble working on Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, Pokemon Sun, and Dishonored 2.

 

[Bubbysaur]

WTF. OMFG.

Well, at least I have more time to fully complete FFXV. I want to do everything possible in that game, so this will be good.

 

[Zerousen]

Worth the wait!

 

[keven3477]

At least it gives me more time to catch up, so far I'm in persona 3 FES and I need to do P4 .

 

[DiscostewSM]

What if it was delayed so it could be ported to Switch and be released on both platforms at the same time?

Persona is the weeb of the weeb games, the call of duty of weeb games, you can't just say that we have PLENTY OF OTHER WEEB GAMES.
The king got delayed SO MUCH, the game was supposed to come Winter 2013 lmao

And on topic, i don't really care about dual audio so the delay is annoying.

 

[myrna]

Not sure if sad or happy..

Oh well, another weeb rpg was delayed. Isn't there such a thing as hentai games?

I was in class with my friend today when he showed me the news. He told me, "I guess I'm spending Valentine's Day with my girlfriend after all". Looks like Waifu Wars 2017 will have to wait until April.

I think if you swapped weeb for Pokemon in this instance, there would be mass riots. Even if there's plenty else to play.

It's an absolute shame on all fronts that this got delayed all the way into April, and I don't think any other "weeb" game will compare to this one, but at least it lets Europeans get a chance to fully play SMTIV A and now Berseria, Dragon Quest 8 and DBZ Fusions probably won't be forgotten in a corner. Y...yay

 

[Luckkill4u]

Nooo why? This isn't fair and I hate waiting!

 

[bahamut920]

Oh, well. gives me more time to save for a PS4.

Dual audio doesn't really interest me, but yay for the people who want it I guess. Give me the DLC free if you want to "apologize" for the delay.

 

[KingVamp]

Things just keep getting delayed. Cough Zelda Cough

Guess we just have to accept this as a normal thing. Games are just getting too big. This generation or even this year should be known as the era of delays.

dual audio fags REEEE

 

[ultramario1998]

Atlus has stated that this delay is primarily meant to polish the dub and localization to a 'gold standard'. As somebody who doesn't at all care about dual audio (but if you do, that's awesome!) I am totally fine with this delay.

I've already waited 8 years... what's another 6 weeks cries internally
