Topic	Persona 5 turns 5 >_> Let's look back on the hypetrain leading up to it:
NeonOctopus 09/14/21 12:43:55 AM #1:	The long, long, long wait for Persona 5 to come out was a fucking trip >_> Let's walk through a brief history of it, shall we? First off, I guess the Persona 5 hype can go all the way back to Catherine on the PS3 in 2011. Atlus mentioned that the Persona team made Catherine specifically to get more familiar with the PS3 hardware so that Persona 5 development can go more smoothly ~~lol~~ Then in late 2013, they announced a Persona direct. In it, they revealed a bunch of Persona 4 spinoffs such as the fighting game, a RPG mashup with the Persona 3 cast, and then a fucking Persona 4 dancing game. People were LIVID because they thought the direct was gonna on the dancing game announcement with no news on Persona 5. But then it happened.... The world rejoiced! It was finally announced! And it was gonna be out next year on PS3! People were HYPED! ... Sometime in late 2014, after a year of literally no news, they announced that the game was gonna be delayed to no one's surprise >_> They simply said it was gonna come out sometime in 2015. While this was happening, Persona 4 Ultimax came out. In it was a new character named Sho that people didn't like >_> At the end of the game, he gains the Fool Arcana (a reoccuring theme with all Persona protagonists), and later on, hackers found a line of code in the game that simply reads "P5HERO" in the character select So obviously people flipped their shit because no one liked annoying-ass Sho and assumed he was gonna be the protag of P5 lol. This was all anyone had to go on so far on Persona 5. There was no gameplay or screenshots that were shown for Persona 5 at this time, so people were grasping at ANYTHING that could be related to it! Now it turns out that the P5HERO code was a left over from when they were planning to have him in the game, but decided to leave him out and it had nothing to do with Sho. But It just showed how desperate people were for any scraps of Persona 5 info. So in early 2015, we finally got the 1st real trailer of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc_9r4wifFc FINALLY! Something to look at besides some fucking chairs! You had party members! You had a calendar! You had a mascot cat! You had a really really sweet menu! People went nuts picking apart every little detail in the trailer. After that was trailer 2 in mid-2015. It was only available as a DVD bonus to people who pre-ordered Persona 4 Dancing All Night. Now obviously within a few days, people ripped that shit out and posted it immediately, but Atlus tried REALLY REALLY hard to squash any sign of the trailer online for a little bit before giving up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-dLW7jSeRk Hell, it STILL isn't even on their youtube channel. It's just a gap between trailer 1 and trailer 3 >_> Plus this trailer SUCKS! Half the trailer is literally just reused footage of the 1st trailer with a couple new scenes spliced in. I felt bad for anyone that paid literal money just to see this. Now, people were starting to get antsy again because 2015 was getting close to the end and there was still no concrete signs that the game was coming out or even a release date. Atlus eventually dropped another trailer with a bunch of little info like a new party member and some new personas, but also the announcement of the delay that everyone was expecting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvpOwQaqRXA The game was delayed to "Summer 2016" After that, the game development was dead silent for 8 MONTHS! Everyone feared the worst! But then the final trailer dropped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKZtJmt85ns It had lots of new info and more importantly, it had an actual release date instead of some vague prediction! 9/15/16! Literally 1 week before Summer 2016 was over >_> And yeah, the game actually came out when they said it would and all was well in the world! But this isn't the end of the hypetrain.... What about America!? For a while, literally no one knew when this game was coming out here even after the final trailer released! But a month or 2 later, some piece of news came out that said the game was gonna release in February 14th, 2017 to save all those lonely weebs from heartbreak on V-day! America rejoiced! Obama himself probably did a backflip in the oval office after hearing this news. ......But then guess what happened next! Did you say another delay? Cuz that's exactly what happened!!! Sometime after the game came out in Japan, Atlus did some livestream where a dude came on camera and said to all the baka gaijin Americans that they had to delay the english version of the game to April 3rd, 2017. So then finally. FINALLY. The sun rose on the day of April 3rd 2017 and everyone in the US finally had their hands on Persona 5 >_> The game was ~~pretty great too~~. But the long anticipation of Persona 5 and the endless delays basically became a meme. We went from: Winter 2014 -> "2015" -> Summer 2016 -> Sept 15th, 2016 -> Feburary 14th, 2017 -> April 3rd, 2017 If you were on the hypetrain for Persona 5 for all 4 of those years (or longer...), you know exactly all the pain and blueballing we all had to go through So CE, what was your experiences with this hypetrain? Were you on board for the whole ride or none of it? Do you feel a little more educated on Persona 5 after reading this or nah? >_> tl;dr: Persona 5 took 4 fucking years from announcement until we finally had our hands on it. What the actual fuck. --- https://imgur.com/nlaY1qH https://imgur.com/zHJ1OCo https://imgur.com/btBPP4E https://imgur.com/1B3bMHw https://imgur.com/2aof3ao <cite>NeonOctopus posted [p:958033953] in Persona 5 ...
