The funniest thing is that Altus would still be it's own company if Index Corporation did not cook it's books. They only had the funds to buy Atlus because they cooked their books. Once it was found out that Index Corporation cooked it's books, that's when they had to sell off everything.

Atlus was doing perfectly fine on their own before they were bought out by Index Corporation. Sega Sammy got really lucky because Atlus should be worth many times more than what it sold for. They were devalued so hard due to Index Corporation cooking it's books. They weren't even allowed to be their own company after all that bullshit.

All I want is for Anno/Khara to reignite that working relationship with Sega, and get Atlus to make a Persona-style Eva game where you play as an OC Eva pilot transferred to Tokyo-3 from (country of your choosing), an alt-universe where Unit-04 didn’t fall into a Sea of Dirac..

This image about perfectly encapsulates the transition into a shitty culture/game series for normal people instead of a wonderful niche thing for nerds. Atlus were the kings back in the 90s and 00s for this type of media alongside Nippon Ichi and Gust and so on. But now they're all spiritually dead.

The only two Sonic games worth a shit were the Master System version of Sonic 2, because you didn't get rings back when you hit something and thus were actually challenged in some way, and SA2 for the chao garden.
I was an 80s Nintendo kid and owned all the Sonic games from the first up until Sonic Advance 2(I think? The one with Cream in it) and will never understand the apparent obsession such a large number of people have with such a mediocre series.
SEGA hard forcing Sonic as a mascot and some admittedly great music has somehow created a decades-spanning franchise and I just don't get it.

I had a really good high school experience, going off on a couple flings and hanging out with the boys, many of whom I still keep in touch with. Will I enjoy playing a Persona game? They've never appealed to me since I just don't care for VNs and nothing about the RPG mechanics really stand out to me as unique. It just has a cool style but that's not enough to sell me on a game.

Yeah, and you know what? I bought it, too. I bought it and finished it and I wish I hadn't. Sells do not mean it was a good game. Nor do they indicate everyone that bought it is a fan of the content. How can they even know what the fuck is in the game? I didn't. I had no idea how woke it was. I saw it was from Atlus and trusted them. Even P3/4/5 had examples of aspects you could consider woke, so I didn't think much of it when reviews had mentioned them.

But, I know better now. And so does everyone else that's paying attention. The writing is clearly on the wall and I won't be touching P6.
>>
>>745080572
Complaining about the high school aspect of Persona is fucking insane, literally delusional. No one who plays Persona wants that gone, period. You only say that to feel morally superior. It's like how woke feminists tried to push feminist porn and non-problematic romance in the 2010s, no one bought it, least of all the screeching harpies who were shouting 'finally', and by today all woman's romance has devolved into rapeslop.

There's nothing to explain. Mario has always been better than Sonic anyway. He was bound to eventually get cucked by another series made by his company.

To be fair, most of the hard work for Atlus like for SMT was done by Kaneko who was then royally screwed over by Atlus for shoving him in a position where he couldn't do anything.

Once again, a prime example of corporations reaping the benefits of the people they employ long after they're gone.
>>
>>745097889
It's their right to do so, those employees signed a contract. Somehow this fact also makes sonicfaggots seethe when you bring up that Sega owns Sonic and Oshima doesn't.
>>
>>745098327
I mean I'm not saying they're not in their right to do so legally, just that ultimately Atlus has barely done anything new or innovative but ride the coat tails of Kaneko's designs. You can say Doi but most of his designs are dogshit.

If it wasn't for him being exploited to death Atlus wouldn't be anywhere close to the position it's in now. Sojima was basically trained by Kaneko as well.

2 Anime tropes sell
3 SOL/Romcom structure is comfort food in Anime and vidya. Even shit ones get by but good ones explode in popularity. Ps3 was one of the best I'm playing a Shonen /Romcom at the time. Xenoblade 2 did exactly the same and was fucking massive.

Persona's just a higher quality series than Sonic and Yakuza. On top of that, it functions as a gateway series to SMT for those who want more quality content.

>>745080574
Nintendo's acquisition of Monolith Soft is up there.
>>
>>745084434
Because Nintendo rarely hunts for IPs. They mostly buy manpower and talent. Monolith is a good example because they didn't get Xenogears and Xenosga, but they ended up getting JRPG vets from SquareSoft and a bunch of tech wizards.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but your argument boils down to being retarded obtuse about the word "right."
Yes, it is their "right" to do what they want with their IPs.
But they can have the "right" to make decisions that are retarded, greedy, inartistic, and immoral.
You bootlickers seriously need to learn that there's a difference between being legally allowed to do something, and that something actually being a justifiable decision.

Persona 4 was very popular. 2 anime series, a movie, multiple spinoff games, etc. Gaming as a whole grew that much between the PS2 and the PS3 so P5 sold that much more. Plus P5 is on everything now and they lump all of the sales of that game together. P4 was PS2 + PS Vita until they ported Golden years back. SMT hasn't changed that much since Atlus got bought out sales-wise comparatively. Apocalypse and SJ Redux were pretty in line with the rest of the series, and V benefited from a similar boost as P5 thanks to the Switch's sales really.
>>
>>745104686
>so why'd they get bought out
Because in the end of the day, Atlus sell stocks, which are shares of their own company. If you rich enough, you can buy out small indie companies. Just need 51% stake in the company and you basically control it. It's also known as a hostile takeover. Index Corporation did that. Everyone who owned Atlus stocks gets it converted into shares of Index Corporation. Tho those shares became worthless once it was found out that Index Corporation cooked their books.

Westoids (Atlus america included) still believing Kanji's plot is related to homosexuality when at the end it wasn't. Just a guy who decided to have a tough facade to stand on society since almost everyone find him being gay more bearable than a non-gay guy is into sewing and cute things. He did not even care if Naoto was a guy since it made him feel at ease but also gets hard at girl's titties before the reveal of Naoto nature as a biological girl.
Persona is otaku media not only because of the dating simg aspect but also on its way to embrace le mature themes like political corruption, suicide, sexuality, god and humanity, etc.

Lol why can't you just admit it was Persona doing its usual thing where it addresses a tough issue then backpedals right before the actually delving into it? I mean I like 4 but they were obviously trying to bring up homos and trannies, just to rugpull at the last second for both so they wouldn't offend otaku NEETs who just want to roleplay as a chad who everyone loves in a simple inoffensive story.

And thats the westoid take, for sexuality is either queer or straight regardless if you are woke or not.
Kanji did not give a fuck if Naoto was a guy because unlike the other town inhabitants and the girls he interacted, she did not go straight to shame him on top that she is stunning dressing as a guy. But kanji also wanted to feel those chie and yukiko tits; moreover, his heart skip a beat when that fat girl approached to him like she was about to confess. At this point, is an otaku only trait for guys to like girls things but still identify as heterosexual and want to fuck girls at the end. While for westoids, is either for lols or because he is le queer.
