English release delayed to April 4th, ugh.
Apparently it's to record audio for more dialog... I'm guessing they think a bunch of unvoiced dialog would be too offputting for a western audience, but surely they won't be voicing ALL dialog so... c'mon. Just give it to us.
As a consolation, Japanese dual audio DLC will be available free of charge... Nice, but I'd rather just have the game already!
Relevant (NSFW Language):
Played us like a damn fiddle.
My reaction to the delay:
Oh. Well I thought it would be better when its being shown on video.For those wondering: the game apparently does still have the absolutely asinine block on screenshots and videos taken via the PS4.
One step forward, two steps back for Atlus. This is even more stupid then Rocksteady trying to block out spoilers for Arkham Knight.
Edit: @FilipinoGTUser1 most of that stuff has already been out in the wild on various Tumblr tags of the various main cast, so I am well aware.
That's huge. I just hope that the PS3 version (which is where I'll be playing P5) has a lesser size than that but if that's the case for the PS3 version, this one beats GT6 in terms of size.Just some notes from the video:
- The bag itself could hold a '15-inch laptop' though I don't know if that leaves any sort of extra space, probably not.
- The game itself is a 20.3 GB download for PS4. This DOES NOT include the dual audio patch which is coming, but I surmise that patch is probably going to be half a GB, 1 GB maximum.

So I woke up this morning to a terrific email from Amazon.

Due to delivery restrictions on your order #redacted, we won’t be able to send you Persona 5 - SteelBook Edition - PlayStation 4.
This is because this item contains regulated materials classified as dangerous goods and can not be delivered by Amazon. Although the amount of these substances in these products is usually quite limited, these products need to be transported in a certain way to ensure that they are handled with care.
Unfortunately, this means that we're not able to ship your order and it has been canceled.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience and hope to see you again soon.
So I wandered over into the Persona community thread only to see that I'm not the only person who has received this email.
It looks like Amazon is cancelling both regular steelbook and the "Take Your Heart" Premium Edition.
I sent Amazon an email, but LiquidGabx talked to an Amazon rep and posted their response...

So I'm wondering if 100% of the PS4 orders are going to be cancelled? What is the defect, and how does this change the launch date? Do we have people from Atlus or Amazon here on the boards that want to comment?
My Amazon Take Your Heart edition hasn't been cancelled.
Not sure what about the TYH & Steelbook editions could be so defective as to become dangerous, maybe sharp edges on the steelbook?
We’re currently looking into the situation with Amazon and will update you as soon as we have more information.
Hello dgco86,
There may be a chemical texture on these items that were identified, for that reason we were unable to ship. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.
You may find some great information about this here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/r.html?C=3..._help_search_1
We hope to see you again soon.
We'd appreciate your feedback. Please use the links below to tell us about your experience today.
Best regards,

Well, I got a response from Amazon. They said it was a mistake, and that I should reorder the item.
They also said they would wave shipping costs. I don't know if this is a case by case situation, but if you had your order cancelled, contact Amazon and they might respond with the same information now.
So now I have an order in on Amazon and one on Best Buy... I'll cancel the best buy one if this whole mess with Amazon is cleared up with no further cancellations before launch.
I was wondering why I couldn't order either of them anymore. Meanwhile on other sites such as best buy, i can still pre-order either editions.
Got 70hours of PERSONA 5 footage on PS4/PS4 PRO (PS4 PRO after Part 20)
Great game, but not sure if it is better than Persona 4 in terms of story, really love P4!
No worries, I already won the case against Atlus, they started to cooldown after the success of FFXV.Your ass is probably gonna get popped by Atlustube, mate. Just as a warning, they don't screw around with spoilers or videos before release.
