Japanese game publishers still struggle with worldwide releases even in 2020, with companies still failing to release their games in other regions.
"Newer Persona games dive into the simulation of a high school student at the cost of RPG mechanics compared to Shin Megami Tensei." - Najam from eXputer.
Persona (particularly 3,4 and 5) is the best thing to come out of Atlus, by far. The only way other games get ruined is by paling in comparison.
thats a hot take if ive ever seen one.
atlus aint just persona.
they have plenty of games that are fantastic that are not persona.
maybe in sales sure but not in quality.
That's a bad take.
SMT had a niche following. So did persona. They redid persona starting with three to reach an wider audience. Nothing happened with the original SMT and have stayed the way they were. If they were to revamp that main series you could get what happened with soul hackers lol. You want that?
A spin off is a spin off. Why would they ruin the original? If you like the original then that's great, you can carry on enjoying it. If the spin off is crap it has no impact on the original at all.
I love Persona 5 and P5R but I have zero interest in Strikers or Tactica but even if I played them and didn't like them they wouldn't ruin the original games for me.
Same goes for if you like the SMT games but don't like Persona, why would that suddenly make SMT bad?
Now that Death Stranding has landed on iOS, here are five other PS4-era blockbusters that we'd love to have to play on our iPhones at any time.
The following games all share common elements but carve out their own unique path in the genre and promise a narrative-focused adventure full of thrilling encounters around every bend.
Pretty fking solid list there. I went in hoping this and that weren't on there but everything was solid.
I had hoped that Sega buying Atlus would speed up the localization process but nope.
Or maybe releasing a game twice and making spin-offs nobody asked for isn’t what the majority of consumers want?
Why its great on capcom and square for doing worldwide/international releases. Persona really needs to do the same with how popular it is now and those spoilers ruining it for westerners.
