Tokkan Report post Posted July 29, 2014 I think at worst the Japanese version will simply lack full dual-audio, meaning it would only have dual-audio for battle voices like every BB since CS1, and only have Japanese text. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RurouniLoneWolf Report post Posted July 29, 2014 It'd be even weirder if that version was the Japanese version. There should be no reason for that one, specifically, to be locked. I don't like how we still don't have a concrete answer and how Atlus USA has announced the official release date for Persona Q when there still isn't one for P4AU, but region locking the JPN version would be crazy. This has been bothering me a lot lately. We're less than a month from JP release and still no concrete NA release date. I'm already bracing myself for a delay. As for the JP copy being region locked or not, everything about this is pretty strange. Usually, the people localizing get their info on features like this from the original Japanese developers and the info should apply to both versions of the game by default unless one of them intentionally changes how it works specifically for a given region. So it's pretty weird that Atlus USA can only comment on the NA version in terms of region lock. Well, guess we'll see what happens. Can't really assume anything from what we've heard so far.

Zombies8MyLeg Report post Posted July 29, 2014 I've been seeing everywhere that the game's NA release date is September 30, 2014. I don't know if that's the official release date, but that's the only date I've been able to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RurouniLoneWolf Report post Posted July 29, 2014 Pretty much every retail site has it listed at September 30th but pretty much all the official stuff from Atlus themselves, including the english trailers they released last week, only say Fall 2014. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose this is some incentive to get people to not import the game as well. I just wish we had a release date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeeJay Report post Posted July 31, 2014 Me gusta. Now watch me as Amazon ships my copy a week late and I miss both of them... Can't you download it off psn separately ahead of time or is it in game? The former might be my only option. Did I do that with Skullgirls or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That does sound like a possibility, no harm in giving it a try I suppose.

FluxWaveZ Report post Posted July 31, 2014 To be clear, one does not need to own the game, physically or otherwise, to download the free DLC characters. You just need to go on PSN/XBL during the period of time they're free on those services, and download them, whether or not you own the game, and you're good. — Source Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luminos564 Report post Posted July 31, 2014 Hooray. Why is it that ATLUS can do this yet ASW never does? This is the best way to handle character DLC and makes basically everyone happy (minus the people who hate the character in question but details). Oh well, good news is good news. I was interested in Marie anyway and this way is much easier on my wallet. I might just pay for some palettes or glasses DLC out of good will because of this.

Yeah just to confirm this, you CAN get dlc for a game without having the game. I downloaded free DLC for Tokyo Jungle and PSASBR long before I had either of the games. Anyway, on the topic of Marie, the article noted that Marie will have abilities that “control and immobilize opponents". Now it's safe to say that immobilize is stun aliment, but I'm really curious as to what they mean by "control." She'll also have “game-changing items” and it's safe to assume that they'll be random like Faust or Platinum's items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
