I really hope Persona rumors for Xbox and other platforms are true

Source?

Me neither. BTW talking about streaming

As they should. Xbox may not ever sell well there, but it doesn’t need if the games come to gamepass and xcloud

SX is still supply constrained there? If it is, there’s no point in looking at the sales, Ms may have just not have enough units to sell.

From what I’ve heard, they at least were able to sell off the entire first shippment, unlike Xbone which was never sold

True. They lost 10 years in Japan, so to regain that they need heavy marketing across the whole spectrum of media.

I am curious if it’s Persona 5 or Persona 5 Royal and also if they bring Persona 4 Golden over since they put that on Steam.

I never got to play 4 outside of the intro.

3 I hear is good too.

My intro to the series was vanilla 5. So even Persona 5 Royal would be new to me.

I don’t think it is a single game though. It will probably be several games at once.

Yeah that’s what I heard as well. I can see it selling better than the Xbox One in the long run.

Persona 5 Vanilla is irrelevant now. It will stay as a PS3/PS4 game.

If P5 comes to other systems or gets remastered in the future it will be Royal.

People say Royal is P5 with more content…yeah but its a full definitive edition of P5. ITs not just extra story and characters. There are fundamental design choices made to the game to make it better. The bonus semester characters and story are jut a bonus. They aren’t even important to the main plot.

Not at once. Again if Persona comes to Xbox i’m guess they’ll put out 1 game every few months.

I think there will be multiple games at once.

Depends. Can they put persona 1 2 and 3 on there at once? Sure. Games like 4 and royal would be by themselves. Sega aren’t going to strangle huge games like that.

I honestly believe its possible persona 5 might not even be a gamepass title. It might be a kingdom hearts situation where they put it out there as a normal release and then gamepass later. But sega aren’t square Enix so who knows

Person 1,2,3 were Playstation 1 games no? I don’t expect anything earlier than P4 but who knows. Considering that it is Sega, the games are highly likely to come Game Pass.

Aside Persona on PC, I think Yakuza games went straight to Game Pass no?

I think we can at best expect 4G and 5R. FES is my favorite, but I have to admit that it probably doesn’t hold up especially well and wouldn’t be worth the trouble. The original versions of 1 and the two 2 games (it’s a duology, for the uninitated: Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment) definitely don’t hold up at all, and even the remake of 1 and IS are a bit rough.

Of course, if I had my way, we’d get full remakes to do the games justice. A beautiful package of the first one with updated mechanics without the hatchet-job localization and including the huge chunk of game they ripped out of the original western release. A magnificent compilation of EP and IS, with the intense tedium of negociation and fool cards adjusted. A rumor system that can affect other games in the series :exploding_head:

And for the love of Philemon, a definitive version of 3. Give me the additions of P3P without sacrificing the actual movement and cutscenes. Minako and her superior S-links deserve a proper game! Also rip out the homophobic stuff and voyeur stuff please thank you

Persona 1 and 2 were originally ps1 games yeah but they got remastered for PSP. So they’ve been updated in thr last 10 years.

Would be cool to have the EP remake localized.

It would be hilarious if PS1 era games were to appear officially on Xbox :rofl:

There’s always RetroArch :stuck_out_tongue:

Gaaaaah Ys VIII just released on Stadia, and they actually included it in their “free” games (PS+/GWG equivalent). A lot of the replies to NISA’s tweet about it were asking about an Xbox version… It’s SCREAMING for a Game Pass release XD

Apparently, you can get a 30 day free trial on their Pro thing and play the “free” games for, well, free. I guess if any Xbox player were desperate enough, they could play it on the Edge browser… (Not me, have it on PS4)

On another note, does anyone find it weird that Xbox actually LOST PlatinumGames support amidst all this newfound JP support? They used to have it early on in Xbox One years, ironically when not much JP companies were working with Xbox. Look at this, their newest game will be on all platforms EXCEPT Xbox

And again, in that tweet. a lot of “what about Xbox?” replies. I remember they said some nonsense when W101 remaster skipped Xbox, saying “Xbox isn’t as easy to develop for as the others because our engine doesn’t work as well on it.” Or something along the lines of that. Honestly, I think they’re full of BS on that quote, and either they are not on good terms with MS over Scalebound (despite saying that is not the case), or they are avoiding Xbox in hopes that MS will approach them for Game Pass deals.

Yeah, I think there some grudge between Platinum Games and MS.
