Yup, and they've got an hour-long TGS presentation on the 20th:

Yay.

I really have to fire up P4 and finish it sometime. I abandoned it somewhere in Sept/Oct (?), after getting the last party member.

Any idea if signs are pointing to a simultaneous Japan/NA/EU release, or should we expect a delay? I was originally assuming there would be a delay but Atlus has really changed its localization process lately.

Do it do it do it. You're almost at the end!

Atlus USA PR has been claiming that P5 will be a 2015 release in NA pretty recently, for what that's worth, but it's also getting pretty late to announce a 2015 date. So the answer is that no one knows, but there's a good chance we'll know by the end of TGS.

Both the Japanese game site and the American one are still listing the game for a 2015 release, but we'll see.

I guess we'll see what TGS holds. If it really is still a 2015 release that seems like the last chance to announce an official date.

What will you do if this and Fallout 4 release near each other?

Not directed at me, but in this scenario, I buy P5, and cancel my preorder of FO4.

I will continue to have no interest in Fallout 4.

Considering most of today's announcements were for early 2016 I have a feeling this is slipping into 2016 as well. That seems to be the narrative with the PS4 right now.

They could still announce the date via stream later, but I don't think they'd be having all this bread and circus going on if they were going to TGS without a release date.

I played Fallout 4 last winter. No interest here either.

It's like E3 all over again. "The PS4 is awesome! In 2016."

Given that every Bethesda game I've played in the past ten years has left me completely underwhelmed it's an easy choice.

I'm not sure if people were expecting TGS to be different than E3 was. Three months isn't going to make a slate of games materialize out of thin air.

Please buy our discounted system that currently has no games you are interested in!

I'm surprised their marketing team hasn't started a "2016 is the year of the PS4 campaign" yet.

If it slips to 2016 it'll be a good excuse for me to either play P3 or get a Vita and play P4Golden instead.

Get a Vita and play P4G AND P3 (either version)

My problem is that I don't have any other reason to own a Vita, especially with Gravity Rush coming to PS4.

But I really want to play P4G and having it on handheld would let Shop use the TV once in a while :p

There's also... Um... Uh...

Y'know, Persona 4 itself is just fine.

I was really hoping P5 would be on the Vita, after enjoying P3 and P4G so much on it.

P4G is a system seller, in my eyes, but if you need additional games:
Soul Sacrifice Delta
Jak and Daxter trilogy
Ratchet and Clank trilogy
Tearaway
Steins;Gate

I'm putting my response in the Vita thread since it has nothing to do with Persona

Delayed to summer 2016.

EDIT: New trailer!

EDIT: Man, that PS4 Holiday lineup, huh? No wonder they dropped the price in Japan.

I can't say I'm surprised. Maybe I'll actually finish the Witcher 3 before this comes out.

I'm not surprised by the delay but that's a bigger delay than I expected. I hope this isn't a "oh sh*t, this isn't working" issue that warrants redoing a significant stretch of the game :\

I have a hunch it has something to do with trying to release on 2 platforms and in 2 languages simultaneously.

This is like, the last game I was interested in. This winter would have been perfect. Losing interest in it now.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Sony pays them to kill the PS3 port.
