As Persona 5 Royal Goes Gold, Sony Says the Series is Important to PlayStation

The Persona 5 Royal "Royal Experience" opening event featured key people from Sega, Atlus, and Sony discussing the importance of the Persona series.

[Juusterey]

Could it be important enough to warrant a persona 1-4 ps4 collection?

[SkatterBrain]

Sonys Hinting at Buying The Studio?

[DarXyde]

No. Not gonna happen. Atlus is P-Studio has proven their value to Sega and I don't see this happening.

Buying the rights to the mainline series is a possibility, but I believe that even this is stretching it.

Never say never, I suppose. Microsoft did buy Gears and Halo to prevent them from being multiplatform titles. Similar approach is possible

@DarXyde

Yeah, not seeing mainline selling well on PlayStation. Persona is weird enough for Sony's playerbase, mainline may be a bit too far.

[Tross]

I would love for a collection to happen. I want my friends to be able to play Persona 3 and 4...and I would totally replay them on PS4 too, especially if we get the Golden version of Persona 4, and/or a version of Persona 3 that includes all the content of P3P but with proper graphics and the fusion spell system isn't replaced with a stupid card item system, and the protagonist can use any weapon like in the first two versions of the game.

[Dark_Overlord]

You mean horrendously butchered 'updated versions' of these games?

[criticalkare]

Persona 6 after royal?

[Kashima]

They have new game call Project re fantasy.

[TheGamez100]

Yes id rather they take a bit of a break from persona or theyd just be running out of ideas. Glad theyre working on that new ip. Dont mind some more spin offs til P6.

[Razmiran]

Original persona director went to head Re fantasy, but P team with new leadership will continue developing persona games (With the ocassional offshoot, like catherine)

[bluefox755]

That's inevitable after the success of 5.

[Last_Boss]

I'd like a full Persona 1 & 2 remake and Devil Summoner remaster collection in the future.

[ShadowWolf712]

P4G port when?

[TheColbertinator]

Yeah this

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

P1 - P4G Collection!!!

[CP_Company]

what is the different between Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal?

[Segata]

More content and story stuff similar to P4G

[StormLegend]

Good to hear!

[S2Killinit]

One of the best experiences this gen for me.

[Spurg]

It's so important that Persona Q and Q2 are exclusive to Nintendo consoles.

[ocelot07]

You mean the 3DS/2DS

[King_Noctis]

Isn’t that what he said?

[ocelot07]

@King_Noctis nope he said Nintendo consoles. If I am not mistake Q and Q2 was released on the 3DS only?

When he said Nintendo consoles I thought they might have released on switch without me knowing. But nope I googled it and was slightly disappointed with the result. So nope its not what he said. As they are only available on the 3ds.

[King_Noctis]

Nowhere did he said it is on the Nintendo Switch though. He just said “Nintendo consoles”. And the 3DS/DS do qualify as Nintendo consoles.

[ocelot07]

@King_Noctis yer......he said consoles. 2DS and 3DS are the same console. So Persona Q and Q2 are only available on the one console.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

The main persona games will stay PS exclusive

[Silly gameAr]

Someone looks insecure. Don't worry. We all know Nintendo is a thing.

[l3w1s]

Persona Q/Q2 are not Persona games gameplay-wise, they are Etrian Odyssey games. Etrian Odyssey in its currect incarnation is not playable on anything other than 3DS/2DS. Once the main Etrian Odyssey series converts to consoles with one screen, Q series has a chance of coming somewhere other than 3DS/2DS.

[PhoenixUp]

If Sega makes another Sega All-Stars game or if another Project X Zone is made, I’d love to see characters from Persona and even Bayonetta make an appearance
