Sega is so bad at PS5 updates. They pulled the same shit with the Yakuza 7 PS5 upgrade. Why even bother with it for a game like this?
I mean honestly its probally good, there's no way in hell im replaying that game again. I already plat it etc. any excuse not to buy it is welcome lol.
That is some bullshit. Game is way too long and bloated to not let them transfer. Altus and sega should put in the work to make it possible
What possible benefit would anyone have for buying the PS5 version? It's basically only useful for first time PS buyers at this point.
Just awful lmao. Full price just for 60fps and PS5 UI, and i guess the DLC too but i already own all that so :/
60fps and that's it really. The ps4 version is already 4k on ps5 and load time differences will be practically nonexistent
Im fine with no upgrade or whatever, but the save thing is ridiculous. I'm not doing another clean 108 hour playthrough.
Hard to imagine any JRPG fan with a PS5 who hasn't bought this on PS4 yet but doesn't hurt to sell it again.
lmao it's actually pretty impressive how Atlus is consistently like this. If it makes zero sense and is anti-consumer Atlus has been planning it for months
"Please buy the game again for full price. Thank you".
I am literally paraphrasing Atlus.
The issue that Sony fixed was (iirc) that you had to have previous-gen version of a game installed in order to import its save data to the PS5 version.
That issue has been fixed/improved, since PS5 games can now pull such saves directly from the cloud - but that issue is also irrelevant if, like in this case here, the developer doesn't implement the option to import old save data in the first place.
It's baffling though for sure.
TLDR - Atlus isn't blocking anything, they're just... not enabling it. Which fwiw is just as goofy
We knew about this awhile back but sucks it's still the case. I might've been tempted to get a free platinum if there was at minimum a save transfer lol.
They still don't offer the DLC for free on PS4. So Atlus wants you to pucker up and either buy the DLC or $60 upgrade.
Will this include DLCs?
I havent done my ng+ run on royal with some of the dlcs I bought.
I am guessing its not included and I have to rebuy everything again?
I don't mind restarting as Royal is already super easy with the schedule and its not a situation where you would really need to carry over the social stats.

You an oldschool SMT fan too? lol
ATLUS has done everything to us, short of literally telling us to go fuck ourselves, at this point. Between giving SMTV a director whose prior accomplishments within the company was as a side lyrics writer, to giving it the same scenario writer as Tokyo fucking Mirage Sessions, to a half-baked Soul Hackers 2 that looks and feels absolutely nothing like either a Devil Summoner game or a sequel to Soul Hackers (despite what some people were saying prior to its release), to it being so poorly handled and terribly marketed in general, it really is extremely apparent that they've now all but completely shifted their focus onto Persona 5 and all of its billions of spin-offs and merchandise.
I do feel it's unironically contempt for the fans at this point.
Keep in mind this company took Persona 5, handed it to writers who were not at all involved with it, told them to "write some more shit on top of it", developed it at the same time as a sequel for the original therefore making it by default non-canon even before it's out lmao, and then had the audacity to market it as the game's "definitive edition", lauching it with its own price's worth in DLC, day one.
Also keep in mind BOTH SMTV and Soul Hackers 2 launched with story locked behind DLC purchase. Both of them.
And people complain about Square-Enix, aigooooo lmao
I'm an oldschool SMT fan and this is one of the most embarrassing posts I've ever read. Shit like this is why the Megaten fanbase has such an awful reputation. Complain about individual game quality all you want (SMT5's story sucked and I don't have much positive to say about TMS at all) but acting like the company holds a grudge against you personally is frankly pathetic.
PS I also love how you discredit Shigeo Komori as being a "side lyrics writer" when the dude has more than a decade's worth of directing credits. But they're not on games you care about so I guess they don't count.
This is an incredibly stupid idea. Most RPG fans on PS4 probably already have played P5, good luck getting a majority of them to buy it again.
I'll catch it on sale eventually, and even then, wouldn't be in a major rush to replay it cause my saves don't transfer

Now that you mention it the way they handled Judgment is probably what left a sour enough taste in my mouth that I didn't even bother picking up Lost Judgment. Not fair to the devs or even to myself, really, but I guess that's what happens when publishers make decisions that seem overtly greedy.
Sigh. This is disappointing.
It's one thing for Atlus to "pull a Pokemon" and release the same game later with slightly shifted content, knowing fans will buy it (a practice I find really shady to begin with) but doing it a second time, charging full price, and not letting you maintain your game save is really beyond the pale here. I love this series to the moon and back but please stop being a dick to your fans. Please?

I'm exaggerating a lot but it's hard not to take their behaviour toward their fanbase as contempt. If you don't think the bullshit they've repeatedly pulled with DLC by itself, even after years of feedback, is already enough to feel some sort of detachment from the company, then you're just on the complete opposite spectrum that I am on this topic, and you can read whatever you want into that.
About Komori, it doesn't matter if he personally directed Metal Gear Solid 2 or FIFA 2020. He could have directed Final Fantasy VII for all I care. Whether someone directed a game before or not doesn't mean they're capable of, or even the right fit for all types of game. This is such an embarassingly obvious point that it's shocking I have to explain it to you. Don't be angry at me. The reason why SMTV and everything they've done recently sucks has nothing to do with me. I contributed well enough for that not to be the case at this point.
Also I did misspeak when I said "within the company", when I meant to say "within the franchise" -- the aim of what I was trying to say was that it was an obviously stupid decision to make by ATLUS to hand control of the franchise to someone with absolutely no experience with it, or even games like it.
No, and you pointing it out isn't going to make me say it any less, so if your aim with this little schoolyard bullshit is to tell me to shut up, then just do that instead. Or better yet mute me.
