Atlus USA Confirms Localization of Persona 5, Spinoffs

So...seems like Europe is getting screwed again? I always feel so bad for our friends in Europe and Australia because gaming companies like Nintendo and Atlus seem to like to pretend that they don't exist at all. I mean hell, they still don't have Shin Megami Tensei IV, and thanks to the retarded region locking system Nintendo put on the 3DS many don't have the game. Really there is hope for the other titles except for the 3DS title coming to Europe, or at the very least it'll allow them to import it as long as Atlus doesn't pull another Persona 4: Arena with the ones on systems that aren't region locked.

The PS3 isn't region locked, so just import it from the US like I did for Catherine (because I refuse to wait a year for localisation, despite me speaking the same language as them)

PS3's hardware isn't region locked no, but Atlus did region lock Persona 4: Arena, making it the only PS3 games to ever be region locked fully (some games like MGS IV had region-locked online play for different regions). That pissed off many fans because then European gamers and Australian gamers could not get the game until 6 months later, and other people couldn't import it. Hopefully Atlus doesn't do that again because it would harm them a lot PR wise when you start region locking on systems that don't region lock at all.

I know this is an old thread but since I've only managed to get back online more regularly I really wanna throw in my two cents. As much as I love Atlus and really starting to get more into the SMT series, at least I can say that both of the 3DS games ARE coming to the EU. BUT, sadly Atlus US aren't handling the distribution of SMTIV, so its a digital only title while Persona Q is coming out later this year and its special edition is exactly the same as the US version from what I've seen Kinda annoyed with IV but at least Atlus US are handling the distribution of Q. It still sucks how in this information age us EU fans of these games are getting screwed still!
