Proto:Persona 5

This page details one or more prototype versions of Persona 5.

To do: Add info about the May and June builds. I recommend keeping all the major debug mode stuff in the June build as to not clutter December. Though the builds have a few changes in the debug menus, so make sure to list JUST those changes (and what changes in use) in each build.

In an unexpected twist of fate, five Prototypes of Persona 5 were found from debug discs from an anonymous auction on January 19, 2024. Those builds contain lots of revisional changes, especially for a game nearing its final developmental stages.

Sub-Pages

December 4th, 2015 A build dated under five months before final build date and nine months before release. Also contains a lot of unseen test content.

February 25th, 2016 Dated around three months before final build date and 7 months before release. There's a lot of development made between Dec and this build, and some finished features in this build ended up being unused anyway.

March 8th, 2016 Around 2 months before the final build date. Much closer to the final game, with most of the entire game fully working at this point and as such is significantly more stable.

May 27th, 2016 A few days before the final build, with no debug. Possible copy sent to reviewers for the release in September.

June 3rd, 2016 The debug master of the final japanese release.
