That's good news, though not unexpected. Not really excited for this despite the original being one of my favourite games but maybe I'll come round come launch.

Damn, was hoping for a surprise January / February.

Spring 2020 is loaded with games, but I'm super hyped for this. Glad I never got around to a 2nd playthrough is vanilla P5.

well we dont technically know that yet
Which part? I thought that was confirmed info from their FAQs.
Q. Are there any carryover elements from Persona 5?
A. P5R is based on P5's game systems and adds many new elements starting from the beginning of the game, including new characters and events. Because the experience is different from the original P5, we do not support the transfer of save data for parameters like completed personas.
However, with save data from P5, you will receive certain bonuses that will help you early on.
  • Special bonuses can be received from both PS4 and PS3 save data.
  • For the PS3 version of P5, you can receive benefits by having save data in the network (cloud), while playing P5R on the same PSN account.

Clearly says that we'll get something but not the actual saves carry over and even uses compendium as an example.

I'm so fucking ready for this.

Persona 5 is probably in my Top 5 games period, bring on round 2.

Atlus is just being greedy in wanting 60 bucks for this. People here shit on EA and Ubisoft, but they belong to the same category. And don't tell me, it's a small company, they need to finance their new project. They milk their shit as much as possible.

There's no way I'm touching this before the PS5 releases, especially considering the Japanese version comes out in a few weeks from now and I'll probably spoil myself on the new content

Was hoping for something more exact than spring. Can't wait, I've avoided as much info as possible but just from what I've seen in random tweets and posts the amount of new content is massive.

That's more or less what I expected. Hopefully the changes are substantial.

You must really hate Nintendo's $60 Wii U ports, then. Those don't add anywhere near as much as P5R, either. Heck, Tropical Freeze was even more expensive than the original release.

Where does it say compendium? I thought completed personas referred to like stats of personas, which is obviously not happening. If they wanted compendium, the word they would use is compendium. Not that its happening, but I dont think its ruled out yet

Even if you don't consider "completed personas" to be the compendium, it says that the carryover bonus is early game boosts, which the full compendium wouldn't fall under. And that's an unofficial translation, so can't read too much into exact wording technicalities.

I'm waiting to see if I want to keep going on my NG+ based on the reactions to this when it hits. I first played P5 back in December, don't know if I'm willing to do 3 playthroughs in the span of like, 16 months.

I'm sure they put a lot of work into it to make it more than an expansion. Not going to stop my feelings that it could have been an expansion. I'll just wait for a hefty price drop before buying again.

I thought they'd already announced this for whatever reason.

Looking forward to another 100+ hours of P5.

It'll be on sale in two months if you're patient.

I doubt they want anything to do with Cyberpunk and Avengers so my money is on June.

An early game boost would be the compendium though in my mind. Im just saying its not ruled out in any case

Never replayed P5 because I figured there'd be a re-release eventually so I'm ready, I've been wanting to revisit it for a while.

This will have a huge amount of content. You will get more than your money's worth.

When the completed Personas don't carry over, it's obvious that compendium won't carry over either. Since you know, that's where you save your Personas and all that.

And like Crimson said, even if you ignore that, they clearly say you'll get some bonus to help you early on which to me doesn't sound like getting your entire compendium from the get go.

Wonder about the wording in Atlus USA's tweet. I feel as if Kasumi has never actually been said to be a member of the Phantom Thieves in Japanese marketing, or presented as such.

i haven't played P5 yet

should i play it or just wait for this?
I'll actually give out the opposite of everyone's advice and tell you to play it right now.

You can't appreciate the changes when you haven't played the original. The game is super cheap too since it's part of playstation hits.

One caveat though, if it's your first Persona then probably just wait for royal.

point being, we are basing this on a couple of assumptions. Lets see how it plays out

Considering p5 took me 130 hours, I'm really wondering how much this is gonna take.

Let me guess:

Screenshots will be blocked for "spoilers" even though the story will have been spoiled online for 6+ months by the time it launches outside of Japan.

I'm through the first 3 dungeon on the OG and moved on to something else always knowing I would come back. I think I will start over on Royal and not be mad about it. Definitely ready to make a full commitment this time.

Spring 2020 is a real rough time for this to release. After my disappointment with vanilla P5 I can definitely wait for this in a sale. I doubt I'll pick this up when I have Animal Crossing and Cyberpunk sitting there.

Let me guess:

Pretty sure it was confirmed that you can share stuff before the new content in the 3rd term. So old P5 spoilers are fair game. The game almost certainly has a new truer ending.
