How did Persona become more popular than Final Fantasy?
i dont even like anime (yes yes i know, anime website and i respect that) but seeing NORMALFAGGOTS parade being an ironic/unironic weeb is mega cringe. you either are or aren’t a weeb. i bet that lightskin nigga weeknd watched 1 episode of dragon ball z once and considers himself an otaku.
>>747654115Final Fantasy appealed to the genx fantasy of going on a grand adventure, Persona appeals to the millenial/zoomer fantasy of having a social circle
>random stale twitter screenshot>non sequitur bait questionmust be a day ending in Y
>>747654531Is it weird how every generation's fantasy is something that was mundane and normal for the generations before it?What did sailors fantasize about while in the middle of the ocean in the 1500s - holy wars?
this guy is kinda cool
>>747654115Final Fantasy appeals to 30 and 40 year olds whereas Persona appeals to teenagers and young adults.
>>747654115He literally likes both you rage baiting faggot
>>747654115The only two songs I know that this guy sings are one about doing cocaine and one about driving drunk
>>747654870wow this guy sounds kinda cool...
he picked the best girl. Kinda based
>>747654683>What did sailors fantasize about while in the middle of the ocean in the 1500s - holy wars?They unironically larped as crusaders.
>>747654115This guy called up Toro after playing both nier games because he liked them so much
>>747654531Spot on..
persona isn'tpersona 5 wasthere is absolutely no indication p6 will be remotely as popular, also the past has shown that if you don't have consistent releases an entire generation will not grow up with your games.
>>747655243He seems pretty cool unironically
>>747654115I mean, he's clearly involved with P6's soundtrack in some way. I'm not saying he's NOT a real fan but the guy clearly has more than one reason for publicly showing his interest in the series.
>>747655414Every persona since 3 has been bigger than the last one. 4 became a pretty big deal over time. There are like 5 spinoff games with the 3/4/5 cast, its a pretty big franchise at this point.
weeknd is shilling persona because he is 100% in one of the songs in p6

This what all candians will look like by 2030, CANADA IS DOOM
>>747654870The Hills is one of the few #1 radio hits that I actually liked.
>>747654870but enough about 80s songs
>>747654467Well you should, because it's the best form of media that exists other than manga.
>>747654115When Final Fantasy became embarrassed of itself and changed formula for no reason. Persona, on the other hand, embraces itself.
>>747654115Partly Persona being appealing, but mostly Final Fantasy turning into utter dogshit.
>>747654115Atlus had long standing moment and anticipation. Final Fantasy was ruined by a man who tried too hard to appeal to modern gamers. 15 also required too much homework to understand it and was a bastardization of Nomura’s vision anyway.
>>747654115this nigga has played more Persona games than most Persona “fans”
>>747655243>nier is normgroid vidya nowTragic.
>>747657041>now
>>747654115It’s really just because of long release date gaps.
I wish I had the confidence for an anime girl tattoo..Maybe when I pack more muscle
>>747654115>How did Persona become more popular than Final Fantasy?By having games that play like Persona, and a rate higher than a small handful across several decades. When Final Fantasy grew popular and beloved, two thirds of the entire franchise was being made and released within a single decade. And the games, even with innovations, all played like Final Fantasy. Then across the span of two decades, they couldn't even produce half as many games despite having twice as much time to release them. And the games they started making, despite calling them Final Fantasy, no longer played like Final Fantasy. It's completely unsurprising how Final Fantasy has struggled to amass new fans while Persona has been growing its brand.
>>747654115They didnt make a good game since X
>>747658701I noticed they abandon fantasy since X, who was the last good one for me.Xv is so trash, 16 boring and generic
>>747654870Blinding Lights is legit a 10/10 pop radio song, everyone likes that song.
>>747654683They fantasized about women idiot. They got into port and fucked women. They'd fuck their wives at home, they'd fuck brown women, they'd pump women full of white seed. Mariners are probably responsible for 99% of all historical racemixing. Every time a half brown girl was walking around some colony or new vassal state it was because a mariner of some kind did some fucking.
>>747654115If they had made FF17, FF18, FF19, and were already working on FF20. Instead of spending a decade on FF7 alone. Then Final Fantasy would have way more fans today.
>>747654115Persona is fun because it tricks you into a familiar setting mixed up with anime fantasies. Final Fantasy is purely fantasy as the name suggests.Overtime, as culture shifts on, people's taste changes too. Fantasied mundanes becomes more popular than plain fantasy.That being said, props to him for being one of the only top #1 artists to have ever had a pic in front a bunch of moeges/eroges.
>>747654115>fumbled Kawakami and had to settle for TakemikwabHe would get filtered HARD by a REAL Persona game
>>747654115What was the last relevant FF game since persona 3?
>>747657041>nowBro it always fucking was
>>747654115Unironically Nomura and his writing killed FF. Killed KH too, dude's a bigger hack than Kojima
>>747662182Other way aroundHe fumbled Takemi because he might have gone blind and didn't trigger the flags for her relationship (being one of the only in P5), and settled for Kawakami.
>>747662208Final Fantasy 7 remake
>>747662420HowIsn't the Takemi flag really obvious. Kawakami you can actually miss, iirc.
>>747662602mf was either going too chill in the conversation and didn't realized, he posted something about him saving after so he couldn't go back
>>747654683Getting their boss killed by a pirate
>>747654683>What did sailors fantasize about while in the middle of the ocean in the 1500s - holy wars?They unironically did. Shit like the conquests of the Inca and Aztec Empires were their version of Crusades
>>747654531>Persona appeals to the millenial/zoomer fantasy of having a social circleThis is accurate
>>747654115FF had 20 years of garbage. Persona had a couple of good games in the same time frame. They also let you date the girls
>>747654683>What did sailors fantasize about while in the middle of the ocean in the 1500sThat the fat aquatic animal sure looks a lot like a BBW
>>747656250Anime blows these days. You're going to be hard pressed to find a single one that has a protagonist older than 20.
>>747654115>normalfags latched onto vidya>they only play retarded shitThat's how.
>>747654115Final Fantasy>Series stays mostly the same from I to IX>After that start changing at least a little but often A LOT between each installment (and sometimes in each installments direct sequels) that there's no use staying a fan as the next installment might not have a lot in common with the series you fell in love with>To the extent that summons and mascots start feeling like cross-overs in a cheap gacha gamePersona series>Very niche, until a soft reboot with P3>Gets huge>Stays mostly the same (to a fault) so fans will keep loving it>Date teenage girlsGee, I wonder why.
>>747654817From my experience people who play Persona seem to be 30-40 as well.
>>747654683>Is it weird how every generation's fantasy is something that was mundane and normal for the generations before it?No, as we grow up with parents, leaders, religions, films, vidya, books etc. telling us all about how awesome X was. Now we want to live that as well. It's what life revolves around, in our minds.
This dude is going on a generational weeb run. It's just more than persona, but he started with it so his fanbase is mostly comprised of thatI also bet my ass he'll have at least one song in P6. He went to their offices, played P4R before we even knew it was a thing, and is constantly shilling the series
>>747654115no one actually plays persona. they just jack off to the characters
>>747665073based
>>747654115Square Enix has been doing everything it can to ruin Final Fantasy for 25 years now, that's why.A series can survive a couple of bad games, but when the last good one was released in 2001 (or arguably 2006) there's no hope left for it.
>>747654467Did somebody say...WEE-A-BOO!WEE-A-BOO!WEE-A-BOO!
>>747662798>didn’t rotate his savesfake JRPG fan
>>747654115brother took the meme to heart, good for gim
>>747662035I need the list
>>747664750>become super famous>sing about doing drugs, fucking, partying >music videos are Bugattis with panthers in them, women, drugs, etc>real life is spent at home playing dating sim JRPGs>get a tattoo of a JRPG girl instead of a real 10/10 LA model you can fuck easily>spend your time flying to Japan to play Atlus games>spend all day shilling Persona instead of being a mega rich popstar Lol, this like how Notch definitely still monitors boards even though he is a billionaire.
>>747666461He's been playing FFX and shilling some obscure japanese horror games on his instagram. Also booked a theater to play P3R
>>747656009>the weeknd>black guy>who is one of the biggest music artists on the world (and may or may not be a industry plant)>who was a driving force behind a horrible HBO show>who gets sponsors from big corporations like Apple, Google, TikTok, Visa and Nestle>is also le based?I still like his music but wtf are you on about?
>>747654115I'm convinced this is viral marketing and that he's going to be the vocalist for the Persona 6 soundtrack
>>747656250Got any recs?
Gaming is a Normie Hobby
>>747666627Based, I knew i liked that guy.
>>747666627Cringe as fuck, just like people shilling Linux. Keep the cattle out from polluting the watering hole.
>ah yeah, lemme inject ink into my body cells to permanently sketch the picture of a vidya character on my body >surely I'll never regret this decision and the corporation behind the character will never do anything that'll enrage me or make me regret the decision Tattoo fags are the most retarded subhumans ever

>>747663095They don't make any great anime like they did in the 90s, now everything is le school romcom or le got hit by a truck and now got incarnated into a loser that'll defeat the demon lord.
>>747654115Every time you see a celeb getting involved with Japanese creators like this, know it's a ploy by their handlers to exert more western influence on Japanese culture. Once they caught on that Japanese entertainment has been more impactful than their dogshit, they began targeting them. The more westerners get involved with Japan, the worse their creations will continue to become. This leaves China and Korea with the opportunity to overtake their market which we've already been seeing. Fuck celebs, fuck all the gaijin retards moving to Japan. It's probably too late for them.
