The Persona games entail far too much localization work for a simultaneous release. You never know, though.
Considering we're talking about a top selling PS2 remake on an under represented handheld, it's quite a lot.

These are not exactly blockbuster titles. So yeah, 700k is a lot. Here's article from 6 months (NA) - year (JP) after Persona 4 release. By that point P4 had sold 410k copies in those two areas, and Atlus had actually expected much lower sales numbers!

Come on, this is Atlus. They are making and releasing such games since they were founded in 1987. Although they have their own division in USA which translates and releases games there and a lot of their titles have some form of reused assets.They know for sure how to keep budget low enough, unlike most big publishers and developers right now.
Thanks, didn't know but now I'm relieved. I've noticed a lot of soundwork the same in P3 and P4, and the same engine, and the same shadow models. Though P5 will have a new engine, I believe it was made by Atlus itself.

Yeah, I suppose new engine could look like something they used in Catherine. After P5 they could always use it for more games, just like they did on ps2 with Nocturne.
All Atlus ps2 game uses same models too. Personas in P3 and 4 are actually demons/enemies from Shin Megami Tensei 3 and Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 on ps2.
wow, they do really know how to lower their budgets
Atlus used Gamebryo engine for Catherine. And it won't be used for P5.

I think I forgot about two Devil Summoners games on ps2. Most of SMT games also uses similar turn based combat, usually with some twist depending on which spin-off it is.wow, they do really know how to lower their budgets

I knew about Gamebyro, I meant it more in case of graphics styles. Catherine had that 3d, maybe cellshaded graphics or just trying to imitate anime/cartoons. Anyway everything should be step up after ps2 and handhelds games.
Bros is there any bonus stuff in NG+?
What is it?

Golden has some extra stuff (2 social links, new persona, new dungeon, etc), but I don't think any of it is exclusive to NG+.
Yes, I know about Golden bonus content, but it seems there is no exclusive stuff for NG+.
Still playing P4G once again is awesome. I love the game
.Besides I didn't kill the most final boss on the first walkthrough.

You can't go for Margaret nor create izanagi-no-okami on your first playthrough, so yeah. There is.
Also you get to mix-max the difficulty to your liking.
StaticSpine Forgot that you need to have gone the true end route in your previous playthrough to unlock izanagi-no-okami
