Persona 5 launching in EU and NA simultaneously on February 14, 2017
- Thread starter Zalman
- Start date
You don't believe how many crazy good deals I have made with my US PSN account, especially when there are sales involved. It almost always beats the EU price.

Pre ordered on SHopTo. *gets in time machine*
If your a fan of Persona, the places your going to go on the internet are going to make it hardto avoid spoilers. THat's just a fact of life. Also, not really sure how being niche actually fits into it. Its one of the most anticipated JRPG's coming around.
It being niche means you actively have to seek that stuff out. Of course you'll get spoiled if you go on to fan sites, so don;t go on to fan sites. This isn't something you'll get spoiled just from going onto Twitter or Youtube.

With shipping costs Shop2 is actually more expensive for me than Amazon.com (Portugal). 20 fucking pounds for shipping. And I wouldn't be surprised if amazon's actually got here first.
Normal retail price in many european countries including Portugal. The reason most people don't buy here and why dedicated videogame retailers like Gamestop and Game had to bail.

Amazon.com is my favorite choice.

Are you serious? Youtube's main page has spoiled plenty of games from big to niche. YouTube is spoiler hell. So is NeoGaf at times.
I heard they're blocking user from outside US.

I'd imagine the JP release may bring about a spoiler thread on GAF?
You know it could have SPOILERS SPOILERS PERSONA 5 SPOILERS SPOILERS and people would still click accidentally.

I would recommend against buying the LE from zavvi. They like to send those in bubble mailers

Tell me about it. Dedicated retailers are gone, and major retailers always stick to RRP. The other day I went to FNAC and saw the Uncharted Collection at 70. I couldn't help but chuckle.
I can use my German credit card, but need to choose a US address, yes.
Heh will try that some time. Thanks.

Sometimes I see people pay 70 for games that can be found for 15 or less online...
But yeah, most people buy online. The taxes are insane because games have luxury item status.

Not if you follow Japanese people.
Much obliged!
I don't usually preorder, but for a new Persona game I'll make an exception.

Sounds reasonable. I'm sure localizing this must be a nightmare lol
Just English unfortunately. They probably have to make major changes to the game to translate so it makes sense switching may not be possible.

It just means that when the US version is delayed, the EU version can join suit!
No dual audio at launch, a big MAYBE for a standalone DLC but dont count on it.

Yeah, but it's a different thing if it will do anything better. It already seems to run 1080p / 60fps on PS4, and I doubt the Japanese branch (that actually develops it) will do any additional work on a 6 month old game when it releases in US / EU.

Well done Deep Silver. Congrats to the EU. Hopefully we can work together and buy enough copies that we justify a simultaneous release of Persona 6.

Don't even what to imagine how long it will be for persona 6 with the number of persona 5 spinoff we are surely going to receive.

Thanks for the answers! Boyfriend is pissed and says he won't play it with English voices...but I don't really mind. Besides, I don't speak or read Japanese so its not like I have a choice. There is still time to announce an eventual dlc with the original dub.
Its weird how some little games happen to get dual audio, and the big ones don't. That can't be only a money issue, then - but rather a choice I guess.

It's entirely possible they never bothered making contracts for international releases and can't be bothered creating new contracts and having to repay all the voice actors. But in all fairness, Atlus does deliver great localisations (as long as Nintendo's not in the picture), so I'm not sure why he's being difficult about it.

Oh wow £67.49 is a pretty good deal for the collector's edition.

It'd be a new low for Sony to enforce that for localizations of pre-2017 games.
That'd be way worse than SCEA's bullshit "X% New Content" policy for remasters that they themselves didn't obey that costed us Breath of Fire 3 PSP in the US, alongside the anti-2D policies that murdered Working Designs.
Especially moreso when Sony is funding the localization of a pre-2017 game that most certainly isn't going to get a Neo mode.
If Sony requires a Neo mode in all titles at all actually, I'd officially say Arrogant Sony is back.
I'd imagine it's licensing issues. I'd imagine it's much less of a headache to license the Japanese voice actors if they are only going to appear in the Japanese version of the game.
Some people argue it's to prevent Japanese gamers from importing a copy for a cheaper price, but I don't really buy that seeing as the Japanese release date is so far ahead of everyone else, and after shipping any money you're likely to save is bound to be minuscule.
Thanks Deep Silver, I can't wait!
