Yeah he was, in Persona 4. That hardly makes it a spin-off.

[OceanBlue]

He's from Persona 3 Portable.

My mistake. I did know that.

Still my point stands.

Just to clear up any misconceptions - Vincent isn't from any Persona game, he merely made a cameo in Persona 3 Portable to give the player some curiosity as to who he is (since P3P came out in Japan before Catherine was even announced if I remember correctly.)

But still, with him appeared in P3P might means that he actually lived in the same world as P3P's characters. It's possible that there might be perhaps some connection between two games...not about the characters, but perhaps about the demons or other mystery that might have connection between them.

Most of us know that already, really. No one ever said that he was a main character, or anything of the sort.

Anyway back on topic, here's a High quality version of the two covers for those interested.

[iwatch2muchanime]

God I can't wait for this game

[Simon]

How to ruin your life in four easy steps:

1. Go to Amazon JP to look up a random manga
2. See Catherine PS3 cover art on front page and wonder what it it's from
3. Spend the next hour watching trailers and reading previews
4. Pre-order game despite not knowing nearly enough Japanese

Mitsuishi Kotono as a jealous girlfriend? F*CK YEAH!

I hope I'm reading the blurb right, and the soundtrack CD is part of the standard package.

[Shiroth]

I wouldn't mind owning this sound disc and artbook.

That is one sexy illustration.

[frubam]

GOD that artwork is indeed amazing! I still feel like I like Katherine better, both lookwise(comparing the covers anyways) and personality. Gotta love those yanderes =03.

Here's an artical which goes into detail on the gameplay. It's sure to help you understand the game a bit better.

[Shiroth]

Looks like a demo will be released. No information on when, though hopefully very soon.

Thanks for the info - I hadn't looked at that ste for a while so the stuff about the very sexy DX pack and Vincent's pillow was also new to me (at the risk of showing my age, does anyone else keep thinking of Kate Bush's song And Dream of Sheep when they read about this game?).

I'm a bit confused by the three editions of the game listed on the Enterbrain site. It looks like the bonus CD and artbook are standard, so there's a choice between standard pack with telephone card (¥8379), DX pack with posters and pillow (¥8978) and DX pack with the lot (¥9681). What's confusing is that Amazon list just one edition marked down from ¥7329 - are the Famitsu packs on the Enterbrain site unique packages?


EDIT: Removed irrelevant question about the different editions on play-asia.com (one is for Japan, the other for the rest of Asia)

Here's a new trailer that shows the gameplay!

So from the looks of it, it's a puzzle/platform survivor horror game?

[Qikz]

Looking forward to it more now I know it isn't just an exact Persona spin off and it's trying something new, although Atlus making a puzzle game? o_O

[Crimrui]

^ Those platform/puzzle elements look really intense! Hope the game is not only filled with that kind of gameplay cuz' I was expecting some adventure parts as well.

In any case, this game just made a new genre which is called a survivor puzzle

That's not a new genre. There were past games that can be classed as survivor puzzle.

[iwatch2muchanime]

Although im not angry about it because it still looks pretty good I WAS looking forward to a "Next Gen" or current gen now Persona style game.

I mean if they announce P5 PS3 then whatever, Catherine is a great idea. If not than boooooooooooooooooo (still getting it)
