It's because it got a low print run and then, not long after, the 3DS port came out.

The game's out and plot spoilers are starting to pop up. We finally know who Lucifer's pretending to be this time.

Hikaru means "light", and it's a gender-neutral Japanese name. Lucifer is always associated with light (shining one, morning star, etc.)
It's a lot more clever than Louisa Ferre.
I also love how the random schoolgirl turned out to be one of the final bosses. It's like a big **** you to Persona.

I had a feeling it would be this person. Just seemed too normal to me when it was revealed.

Big News for Persona 4 Arena. It's getting an expansion with two brand new fighters.
Persona 3 fans, rejoice. Yukari Takeba and Junpei Iori join the brawl.

Wow has it been awhile since I've posted in this thread. TBH, I think it might be interesting if they made something like a Shin Megami Tensei version of Project X-Zone. .....Except with Persona-style combat, of course. ....Lol, I can almost see it now how Midori would react to some of the other, non-Devil-Survivor-present Personae.... (ESPECIALLY the one that looks like a p*** chariot.)

Live from Japan, displayed on a large TV screen. Atlus is doing a big event for this announcement and is planning to use many large TV screens near train stations to display their announcement at 8:00 pm, November 24th. (in about 9 hours.)

Well. Seems like Persona 5 was finally announced! About time if you ask me!
That and PQ seems like a nice amount of fun while I wait for more Persona main series goodness.
About other stuff SMT related, we still have heard nothing else about the SMT x FE project. I wonder what Atlus and Nintendo may be cooking for us...

So earlier today, Atlus announced four games through a stream:
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labryrinth | Teaser| Official Website
Persona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold (console version, I think) | Teaser | Official Website
Persona 4:Project Diva Dancing All Night (PSVita) | Teaser | Official Website
And of course, announced right near the end:
Persona 5 | Teaser | Official Website
Red colour scheme (just like Persona 2 Innocent Sin) and "You are slave. Want emancipation?" as the tagline = Another dark Persona game, sweet.

More excited for Q than 5 actually. Maybe because Q is sooner and we actually know something about it.
I don't find it odd. It was obviously in VERY early development and had no chance of coming out till 2014 (which is the year nintendo said they will veer more away from the casual games and focus on games like X, Bayonetta 2, and smash bros).

Hm on persona Q.. I not sure what to think, on the one hand I love a new rpg to come to the 3ds, on the other I'm not sure why the persona 3 main is alive.
Hm on the new persona fighting game, well loved the last one, hope this one is just as good. edit though I do wonder why takaba is wearing a pink power ranger costume... maybe the theory of personas eventually give you insane fasion sensabilites are not that far off.
Persona dance thing....okay I thinking that's something ameria is not getting....actually I hope we get any of these games in america.

A Persona game on a 3DS? That was sure surprising.
And Shoji Meguro music in it while making dream teams possible with two different parties? I'm sold.

I'm really glad that Persona 5 seems to be going in a dark direction. I love Persona 4, but it's basically Scooby Doo with murders, and it's nice to see the series go back to the mood that was in the earlier games.
Eternal Darkness
Eternal Evil
Goddamnit. There goes the rest of my money
I just ordered Persona 4 Arena, so I could play at least another one of the 4, but I have little interest in the dancing game
I hope the rest of us get most of those games soon after they're released in Japan, like they've been doing recently with Atlus games
I think they were doing some sort of set up in Persona 4. They introduced us to the Shadow World, which could be bigger than it seems. But I could totally wrong. But it was nice seeing a light hearted SMT game in general. We don't have a lot of those.
And it seems to be going to a darker side again at least, if you just look at the colors of 3-5
3-had mostly a dark blue/dark green theme, rather dark, right?
4-yellow, really bright themes and stuff, right? A lot of hope as a result, right?
5- So far red, crimson to be exact, right? Crimson=blood, seems to be pointing to dark, too.
And then the slavery theme, which looks to be really interesting, since we don't see a lot of that in games.

It seems from some of the articles the SEES were brought to the P4 highschool while they were fighting in Tartarus. But 4 happens after 3 so they travel through time it seems. So it's a side story in the middle of both games.

So ****ing excited for P5.
Might pick up Q as well, might be fun.

I'll be waiting for more information on Persona 5 but with the way the short trailer went, it seems to be going the dark direction again, which is pretty good.
On the other hand, I couldn't be more excited for Q. I've been waiting for a Persona game on my 3DS for some time and I couldn't have gotten anything better (aside from maybe a new IP)
I love the P3 and P4 crossover so if they decide to bring it over it will probably be a day one purchase for me.

On the topic about Persona becoming "dark" again.
Maybe it's just me, but after playing Persona 3, the one that was "so much darker than P4", I didn't actually find it to really be that dark. Obviously most of it comes down to perspective but I found P3 had a lot of cheerful parts, mostly the day-to-day school life and comedy/banter brought on by the friendly characters. The Social Links were pretty much all normal, except for Sun which was the only one I could consider as dark. Even the most grim parts of the plot were... fairly tame. This isn't to say make it like Game of Thrones or throw in some rape or abuse scenes to make it seem dark. That's not going to make it a better game unless it's handled properly.

3 is much more darker in atmosphere imo. Most of Tartarus is a much darker looking place than most of the dungeons in 4. But 3 really isn't that much darker than 4. 1 and 2 are the darkest.
And here's a translated PQ trailer.
