The latest details for "Persona 5" will feature its complete vinyl soundtrack and restrictions on its game streaming.
Atlus announced a collaboration with iam8bit to bring "Persona 5‘s" soundtrack to vinyl, and while most people can find it over on iTunes for $30, hardcore gaming fans of the "Persona" series and its music might want to invest in one of the two versions available.
"Persona 5's" Essential Edition will cause around $100 and features a selection of tracks over four records, curated by Atlus Sound Team, which includes the sequel's most popular music.
For an extra $25, gaming fans can pre-order the six LP Deluxe Edition, which includes all 110 songs from "Persona 5." There is a limited pressing of 1,000 copies, so fans might as well spot the difference and grab the Deluxe Edition if they are eyeing up for the vinyl songs.
The music in the "Persona 5" vinyl is described as “jazzy, poppy, energetic musical magic that fans find themselves unconsciously whistling throughout the day. From upbeat vocally-driven songs (many featuring the Japanese soul singer, Lyn Inaizumi) to more contemplative, instrumental riffs, making it an impressive ensemble of tunes, VG 24/7 reported.
Meanwhile, Atlus has publicly apologized to the gaming fans regarding the streaming restrictions on "Persona 5" and the company's rather draconian approach to violations of those restrictions.
The Japanese developers told Eurogamer that that everything up to 19th November in-game is available for streaming and the 90-minute limit has been lifted as well.
Atlus originally did not allow people to stream sections of "Persona 5" set after July 7 in-game. Given that the title spans the nine-month length of a Japanese school year, which begins in April, this effectively meant that only the first third of the game would be available for viewers to watch.
Now, Atlus has restructured its rules and is allowing people to stream all the way up until Nov. 19 when the main story gears up for the final act. In other words, players went from one third of the game being streamable to its first eight ninths.
"Persona 5" is currently available in the PS4 and PS3 consoles.
