I wanna get this game for the sole fact that Shoji Meguro is the composer. xD. Other than that, I know this isn't Persona but it sure as hell reminds me of it. I hope it comes out in America. Looks very interesting.
@lurker2626 Oh god, I really understand what you mean now. I HATED the japanese voice acting in P4. X( And yet I LOVED the english voices. O_o But given that Atlus is really good at casting the voices in their games, (Persona, DDS, Trauma Team, etc.) I think the game might have some good english voices. :)
For the people worrying that this MIGHT be the new Persona 5 game, it's not. It's just a game that they've been working on when P4 was in the making and they continued to go on and off with both projects (jumping to Catherine, then to P4, then back again until P4 was finished).
Apparently, Persona 5 is already in the making and it's unknown whether it will be on either the PS3 or the PSP.
@SaintTsubasa I know, the director even said that a new Persona game was going to be released and then this comes along. I'd rather have another Persona game then this
@woonam Dante was in SMT 3: Nocturne, but it wasn't a "Devil May Cry game". It's a cameo appearance so I think it's kind of silly to call it 'Persona' when they're most likely even going to be different genres. From what I hear of this game, it doesn't really have a "Persona" feel like most people are saying. It seems like a very sexual, psychological horror game to me. So if people are still going to think that then that's their loss I guess.
@Nudoru Using Dante in SMT3 was a bad example seeing as he's clearly making a cameo while the MC in Catherine was in Persona 3 PSP before having his own game produced, but I do see you're point even though you're clearly missing what I'm saying. Also, it doesn't "feel" like Catherine is going to be a psychological horror when it's already been labeled as that
@woonam I'm not missing what you're saying at all. Vincent made a cameo appearance in Persona, and that's that. He's not important to the plot, and he was only in it as a hint of what was to come. This is kind of a silly argument, especially considering when I saw Catherine for the first time myself I didn't think 'Persona' at all, despite being able to clearly tell it's from the same team. They're just not related.
@Nudoru You pretty much just proved my point to what I'm saying. I think you just don't know of all those released games with the devs saying "Here's a new game that looks a lot like Demon's Souls but really isn't." but it's actually DS2. Look very close, you'll see it eventually
@woonam I didn't prove your point at all, now you're just being a douche. Why are you trying to make an argument out of this? A lot more people are making much better and more valid points then you are >_>
@woonam And I KNOW you were saying 'this is what the devs will think', but you're kind of being an ass about it. At this point, anyone who still thinks of this as 'Persona' clearly should do their research first before they say anything so people don't have to correct them or facepalm about it.
@Nudoru I think what he's saying is that when Kotaku first released info of Catherine(except there was no name for the game with the release of the screenshots) people speculated that it was the announced future Persona release. Some of the same developers that worked on Persona are working on Catherine, namely Shoji Meguro. So what I think he's saying is that there's still that (unlikely) chance that Catherine is the Persona game that was announced so long ago
@SotenSky I know what he's trying to say, but he's purposely trying to make an argument about it. I already knew about it being the same team that worked on Persona, so yeah, it is by the same people but that wasn't what I was saying at all. It clearly isn't a 'Persona' game. And Atlus has already said that it is not the new Persona game mentioned, that is still being worked on, so now he's just being childish and repeating himself.
so because the character "Vincent" was in a persona game, makes this game a future persona title? ... I dont see that flying with the lack of "personas" ... just saying
@ryuwvd Catherine is taking place in the same universe as the Persona series, wouldn't surprise me to see something similar to Shadows or Personas in this game.... just saying
Vincent was a cameo though... like an easter egg... what other game could they really have put such an easter egg in while being hush hush about it...
It's out now. I wish I had the money for a PS3 because I would be all over this game.
