Although it is a bit surprising that it will be coming out for the PS3 and not PS4, I am actually happy. One worry of many console owners is that their once a new console is released, their now dated console will be forgotten. This further reinforces the claim that the PS3 will continue to receive love even with the release of the PS4.
With this announcement, the mob mentality on the
You are slave. Want emancipation?
Any fans of the Persona series here?

I'm not sure it will be released in Europe. Plenty of the larger brands of JRPGs never release outside of Japan. Though one can hope.
edit, considering the homepage has English content it is likely though.
It's not like it would be the first Persona game to come out outside of Japan. Of course that doesn't mean anything, and Atlus is now part of Sega and I'm not sure I like Sega
Also I don't have a Ps3, so my hopes are on a Ps4 release later on or Gaikai working and the game being on there.

I'm a huge fan of 1 and 2: Tsumi and certainly don't await the fifth installment after what they have done with 3 and 4 -_-
I'm curious about why you think 1 and 2 is better. I've only played 3 and 4, and I liked them a lot. What is it that makes the first 2 better? The main flaws of 3 and 4 imo is the repetitiveness, a lot of the time there's not a lot going on, and I'm not a fan of the battle mechanics. But I doubt that 1 and 2 is better in this respect, as modern games tends to put more focus on storyline. This is why I never tried the earlier games, I figured they would be even more lacking in storyline pacing.
I haven't played the first one, but I played both Persona 2 (Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment).
I find the battle mechanics to be better than those of P3 and P4. As of the storyline, they were both really good, especially P2:EP, and I would replay P2:EP over P3 any day. That being said, they aren't without default. You are guided for the entire plot way too much, most of the time, you just can't enter 75% of the buildings just because it's not yet/anymore the time to do it. Difficulty can be harsh too, but this part will mostly depend of your experience in the old Shin Megami Tensei games. If you know the universe and most of the personas, you'll know what to expect and prepare to have awesome combinations.
P1, P2:IS and P2:EP are as close as P3 and P4 are. I would prefer to play P2:EP over P3 not because it's a better game, but because it's a different game, wherease P3 and P4 are "clones" with P4 as a better game (for me at least).
Storywise, both P2s have nothing to be ashamed of compared to the most recent ones. Btw I still love P4 the most, but as a SMT lover, you can't go wrong with trying both P2s.

Opinions opinions... I was a big jrpg fan during PSX time too and I didn't liked P1 and P2 at all. Loved P3 and P4 though, especially P4.
Too bad release is not soon, most likely 1st half of 2015 for NA/EU. But I guess now I do know what will be the last game I'll buy for PS3, before I wasn't sure what would it be, Xillia 2 or KH 2.5 HD.
Was anyone awake when they first announced it? Felt like they were purposely trolling everyone on stream They showed the three games and had Teddy talking forever. At one point, countdown popped up starting from like 5:55:55 and it was at that point we knew what was coming.
But yeah, I think atlus knew of all the hype and just toyed with everyone. Twitch had the stream at +9k views so was pretty interesting. Especially when people began rioting and cussing out atlus. It turned ugly real quick
