What went so right?>“Atlus is one of our most successful acquisition deals to date” Sega Sammy reports strong sales of Metaphor: ReFantazio https://archive.is/IFujU
They should legalize incest.
Atlus is slowly taking all of Squeenix's market share.
>>695184424I hate Will's design, and name.
Between Metaphor and Persona 3 Reload, Atlus has had a very good year.
>>695184464This but ban only gay incest
Funny I stopped caring for Atlus when sega bought them
>>695184520Good news, that's not how he looks in the 2nd half of the game.
>>695184508>slowlyMore like really fast, in the last 5 years I've seen more normalfags talk about Persona than FF which is saying something.
>>695184508That is more due to the retardation of SE execs being seemingly terminal and incurable than due to Atlus improving.
>>695184424coasting off of persona's name
ever since Persona 4 they have just been spitting pure fire, the shit slaps, it go hard ong, I fucks with it ngl
Why can't I find any info on this "Amber" person?
SMT is doing better than it ever has, Persona is doing better than it ever has. Catherine is still popular and prime for a sequel. The only fuckup they've had in years is Soul Hackers 2.
>>695184424They desexualized Persona so of course it'd do well with American audiences.
>>695184967It's honestly pathetic how you fags can only parrot the same shitposting endlessly.
>>695184964Soul Hackers 2 and Tokyo Mirage Seasons.
Did they ever fix the shit perf?
went woke, got the modern audience
>>695185073TMS is old news at this point but yes it's in the same camp as Soul Hackers 2.
>>695185298seething barry
>>695184424Is there any possibility I will I like Persona if I don't like anime and my favourite JRPG is FF7?
>>695185336meds
my october video game release ranking is1. romancing saga 22. ys x3. silent hill 24. metaphormetaphor was pretty boring tbqh
>>695185356If your favorite JRPG is FF7 you like anime
>>695185312Both also were made by the same team. Kind of sad for them.
>>695184964EO more like pee oh Trauma Center? DoneRH port? OgreFatlus? OBESE
>>695185396I can't watch anime. It feels silly and juvenile to me.
>>695185489EO mainly existed as a concept for the DS and 3DS due to the dual screen map system. It just doesn't work as well on one screen.Trauma Center was wasted potential and also never worked as well on the Wii with waggling over the more precise stylus controls on a touch screen. They also kept repeating the same story beats in each game.Those are DS/3DS era games that served their purpose for the era.
>>695184424>one of our most successful acquisition deals to date>one ofWhat other acquisitions have they made that have been anywhere as close to as successful as Atlus?
>>695186954Creative Assembly prints money due to Warhammer fags being incurable consoomers.
>>695184464It's immoral
>>695186954The only company that makes more money is Creative Assembly because they're turbojews who keep milking 40k fans
>>695184508That's because Square killed themselves.
>>695184508Square enix has lot all it's goodwill. They've tried a ton of things, but it's all been failures. I remember when they tried the quantity over quality and released a ton of games in one year.
>>695184424They made a videogame. that's it, no ulterior motives or hidden agendas. just released a videogame with normal flaws and perks, in a market where games are mostly used as a means-to-an-end.
>>695187048I would be very surprised if Angry Birds wasn't the highest earner by far
>>695187153That cannibalization each other sales because SE being fucking retard and released those games in the same window
>>695187035How?
>>695184424some people might have forgotten but almost a decade ago sega was on the brink of bankrupcy only to be saved by persona 5
>>695187407basically the same with Capcom as well
>>695184424Buddhists values
>>695184583>halfmore like 1/10th
>>695184424I'm glad I decided to try this game, was skeptical about woke shit and no romances but now I can't put it down. The story is political but self contained in it's own world where it makes sense, and it offers conflicting viewpoints on issues instead of preaching. It's a massive upgrade from Persona in every way aside from music and waifus.
>>695184464>>695184554this but ban everything but lesbian incest
>>695187435eh crapcom had way more going on for themselves compared to sega though. Like sega had nothing at all besides ever flopping sonic games until that point and they never bothered to invest into pso2 for the west until very recently (and then kill it due to incompetence)
>>695187629like when pso2 came to the west it was literally their bigget product ever kek and they fucked it with new genisis and pozzed tranny gms and now it's dead. Unfucking real.
>He takes the example of the launch of Metaphor: ReFantazio in early October: the title sold well in Japan, but it also performed extremely positively across the entire Asian continent, he tells us.>It's not as lopsided as something like Yakuza but a bit less than half of Metaphor WW sales are in Asia (because EMEA remains relatively weak for historical reasons)https://www.installbaseforum.com/forums/threads/media-create-sales-week-44-2024-oct-28-nov-03.3181/page-4#post-286727
>>695184424I want Atlus to remake phantasy star.
>>695184508Rebirth sold double this on one platform lol
>>695184508Are all fatlus sissies obsessed with SE?
>>695185024Is it wrongn if i want to tonguebath the fairy?
sucks this game goes to shit around the opera house dungy
>>695186954They bought Relic and then dow 3 came out.
waiting for gamepass drop since they blueballed us and originally said it would be on there day 1
>>695188037>>695188042>Final Fantasy cultists showing up to seetheLove to see it
>>695188274Good thing shareholders didn't fall for the PR bait.
>>695188167Do you really think Sega would want to take a gamepass deal for a new IP, especially when it was Atlus fastest selling title and did a million in about 6 hours.
They've built up their IPs well from being niche to reasonably mainstream, Metaphor had quite extensive marketing and they've probably kept their budgets and expectations within reasonable boundaries
>>695184424Based Sega and Based Atlus, love seeing this board wrong about another fucking game KEK
>>695188037Not let's see the development cost of Rebirth.
>>695188327>call it a REMAKE>it's actually some spinoff/rebuild sequelWhy did SE think anyone wanted this?
$30 million in marketting on this shit kek
>>695188274metaphor was bigger than Sonic?!
>>695188352yeah I guess so it is worth buying? I liked P3 Reload. Hows the combat?
>>695188541the combat is a bit more like mainline SMT than Persona and the difficulty is overall more challenging than Persona usually is.
>>695188514Source?
How do we cope FFtroons?
>>695188537It "sold" (shipped) the same amount as metaslop and it didn't take 8 years to make. Sega just trying to stop their stock from plummeting further.>>695188615feel free to cope any way you see fit
>>695188537Maybe or it's just the fact that it's nominated for GOTY, something only Persona 5 has done so far for them.
>>695188479In 20 years the 7R trilogy will be looked at as a perfect example of how dumb AAA development really was. Hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars, more than 10 years of development, the sunk costs, the low sales, the disinterest from the general public. They couldve spent like 10 or 20 million and made a remake of 7 that looked like an early ps4 gen game that was completely faithful and recouped their budget and made money and been done in like 3 years with the whole thing. They couldve spent all the time since remaking spinoffs or rebooting the entire compilation.
OHNONONONO
>>695188587I haven't played SMT but I beat Soulhackers 2 and enjoyed that combat a good bit.
>>695184424>What went so right?
>the strong sales in question
>>695188537It has had a bigger impact than Sonic x Shadows which was really just Sega being kind of assholes and selling the same game again with some added Shadow content while Metaphor seems to be mixing overall sales as well as being received very well by both critics and players.It could very well win at the game awards considering how much critics seem to love the game.
>>695188671I simply asked for a source, sweety.What does an f1 car costing 30 million have to do with a sticker being put on it for one race? You don't really think they made an entire new F1 car just for this promotion, lmao!
>>695188741>They couldve spent like 10 or 20 million and made a remake of 7 that looked like an early ps4 gen game that was completely faithful and recouped their budget and made money and been done in like 3 years with the whole thing. They couldve spent all the time since remaking spinoffs or rebooting the entire compilation.Considering after playing Remake I did my first replay of VII in like a decade and enjoyed that more than Remake I would've been happier if they had just done the latter.
>>695188847Im downloading veilguard right now ill let you anons know how it goes.
>this sperg still trying to put Metaphor against FF7Rbfor what purpose?
>>695184508Square Enix is completely irrelevant among zoomers, beyond Nier and Dragon Quest.Persona is more of a face of JRPGs than Final Fantasy now. Boomers think otherwise.
Confirmed flop btw
>>695185356>Is there any possibility I will I like Persona if I don't like animeno
>>695188514>get marketing deal with microsoft>use the money to meet your favorite F1 driversbased atlus devs
>>695188853With Atlus budgets that indeed is a huge success. Companies like Square-Enix and Western industry are not struggling due to sales per se, they are struggling because making those huge expensive high fidelity games is inherently unsustainable.
>>695184464they should mandate incest
>>695188939he's a mentally ffxv sperg
when will fatlus make an MMO to kill SE?
>>695184464This but only if it is older sister and little brother.
>>695188963>With Atlus budgets8 year dev time isn't cheap. Sega can say whatever they want but it's clear the shareholders aren't happy with metaslop.
>>695188942>Persona is more of a face of JRPGs than Final Fantasy now. Boomers think otherwise.I think this is why we are seeing so many meltdowns from FFfags in these threads. Atlus in general had a very sold year from Reload to SMTVV to Metaphor, and you can even throw in Unicorn Overlord because Vanillaware is under Atlus.The games were all well received and all of them seem to have done fine with the internal forecast Sega had for them, and now we have Square admitting that FF16 PC port was an outright failure.
>>695189032>8 year dev time isn't cheap.This game wasn't in development for 8 years. Don't bother replying to me btw, I'm not going to grace you with a second (You).
>all this hootin and hollerin >still sold less than rebirth
>>695189032Omg, you have insider sega shareholders info?Lay it on us, bro!
>>695188939he's scared of Rebirth losing the GOTY validation he needs
>>695189014That's funny considering their gacha doesn't even come close to ever crisis.
>meanwhile Shartenix
>>695189021buh buh based
>>695186343>EO mainly existed as a concept for the DS and 3DS due to the dual screen map system. It just doesn't work as well on one screen.Wizardry is literally older than you.
>>695188978I disagree. I think that if two people who happen to be related fall for each other, they should be allowed to make that choice, but ultimate freedom is what I hope to see in the future, so long as that both parties are happy with the choice they've made.
Are all the Metaphor video game threads already dead? All that's left is Metaphor sales/business threads?
>>695189091Public knowledge. Imagine falling for PR bullshit while their stock is in freefall>>695189131update your narrative.
>>695189110You do realize that P5X is only out in Korea and China while Square's gachas are world wide, right?
>>695188541It has some challenging fights like P3. P5 was bloated as fuck so I'm glad they trimmed the fat.
get woke, go... profit?
>>695188998oh right he hates any FF that isn't XV
>>695189193>to this day, zoomers are shocked that normal people play a game, beat it, and move on instead of talking about it ad nauseam 24/7/364 for years to come
>>695189247It's not actually woke. Now cue the fftards posting the same 4 out of context screenshots to pretend it is.
>>695189131Wow, Sega and atlus must be worth WAY more than square by now!
It's been a disaster for actual Atlus fans.
>>695189260yep and he tries to fit games like metaphor against games like FFXVI and FF7Rjust a pathetic waste of oxygen and he's from fucking Australia to boot
>>695189268Palworld articles were really funny.
>>695189375>and he's from fucking Australia to bootmoot was right
>>695189268>to this day stockmonkey jews come to /v/ and pretend talking about sales is vidya Don't make me call the Genshin fans to come in and shit on all of you.
>>695189368Omg, i'm literally crying rn (real atlus fan).

>>695189472>twitter account
>>695189527>official communication>the actual literal DEI slogan Gross. Just a blatant display.
>>695189472Diversity in this case means different white-presenting fantasy races. That's like saying Lord of the Rings is diverse because the party consists of a human, a dwarf, an elf, and a hobbit.Which, it literally is, but we all know what you actually mean by "diverse".
Reminder that Shartenix cultists said Opencritic is the better review platform. Let's see the userscore:OHNONONONO Shartenix sissies...
Atlus/Sega won.Yoshi p lost.
>>695189472>their diversity is their strength no it's not they are just a good team regardless of gender or race
>>695189472They're different fantasy races with different racial attributesIf anything, it promotes race realism
>>695189472I played it, it's not woke. The girls still all love your character and there's no faggotry whatsoever while the social messages are just all driven by the character stories but without getting too preachy.What's woke is people like you trying to make this game your own because the actual woke garbage all flopped.
>>695189770Is Wasteland 3 actually good?

Why is xhe so mindbroken over Atlus games? This is mental illness teritorry.

>>695192007>sold all their western studios and IPsgood. They kept all their arcades unlike seg -ACK!>>695191881The second post is seething at SE. Their entire identity is seething about SE.

>>695184508SE sold at least 3 to 4 times as many copies of Rebirth. On a single platform.Turn troons are completely delusional.
I can't wait for Sega to actually buy SE once it goes bankrupt, lmao!
>>695189714in the game it's brought up, explicitly, and multiple times, how it's them being different tribes that is their strengththere is no lack of examples of them overcoming adversity through leveraging their unique tribal advantages in the bonding dialogues alone, to say nothing of the main game
Sega won
>>695184424>dont cater to DEI woke slop>do nothingit's that shrimple
Now that fatlus has lost the last remaining talent they have. I fear it's over.
>>695192721>262K (Rebirth) vs. 83K (Metaflop)Grim, but not unexpected.
>>695192974Uh... Metaphor is full of niggers. The main theme of the game is also literally "muh diversity is good and muh racism is bad"
Sega spent billions on Angry Birds
Sega won bigly!
I can't wait for Metaphor to win GOTY award.
>>695192178It's on GameBananna

>>695184508I'm just waiting for how the TGA plays out, it's shaping up to be that "strongest JRPG of history vs strongest JRPG of today"
>>695184424this game is less relavant than p5 and will always be, just proves money doesn't mean shit, the only discussions about this game is how woke it is

>>695184508Square was dethroned from the JRPG throne when P5 came out. Nobody cares about FF anymore besides XIV, Kingdom Hearts is dead after 3, NieR hasn’t had a new game in an eternity, and as far as I know DQXI sold quite well but DQXII seems to be in dev hell. Not even FFVII, Square’s most reliable non-MMO money maker underperforms.Meanwhile, Altus dominates the turn based market while FromSoft dominates the Action RPG market.

Veilguard was so sad that we are back to having endless metaphor bait threads.
>>695184508Kinda funny how both got there chasing trends. SE tried to catch up focusing on NFT and "fast paced action AAA games". While Sega focused purely on propaganda.
