Fuck you, Atlus. Fuck you.

fuck you too

Piss off. We don't need another Persona game this soon. Now Atlus is pretty much proving to us that the Persona series is now only meant as their cash cow.

i pee on what i want, 'cause i'm hardcore that way

Thats pretty much what a popular series is for. To get more cash.

Riiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhht.

Haseo, you don't understand. In the past Atlus has actually catered to the fans and not sold out. They never whored their games out nor did they try to make it mainstream. Hence, the reason why the amount of copies to be released were always within the 10000's over here. Atlus is a niche company over here in America and even in Japan they never sold out. But starting with Persona 3, Atlus began to give signs that it's not what it used to be.

Basically, with this announcement, Atlus might as well say it's sold out and Persona will now be more mainstream. Do you know what this means?

Persona games up the ass?

Not only that. Atlus will start losing sight of what made their games unique, they will become a mainstream company. While being mainstream doesn't necessarily mean they'll be bad, it does mean that they'll be catering to even more fans. Which in the end will give them less creativity. There's a reason why.

AAAAANND THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE ARRIVES! *inhales deeply*

-have you played this new persona game?
-do you have any inexplicable, undeniable proof that this newest installment will be any less awesome that the previous persona games?
-and just because it was produced quickly doesn't nessecarily(sp?) mean it's going to be turned into a cash cow--i call it efficiency.
-nor does the quick release have anything to do with the quality of the story etc. because good, deep, in-depth things CAN be produced without spending ardorous amounts of time on it.

*cough cough*--now, with that out of the way... i dunno if the new games'll be any good, but here's hoping.

I'm being cynical because this is the surefire sign of shit.

and imma hope for a miracle amongst chaos.

"T'would seem our opinions are destined to oppose one another..."

I will hope for a miracle too. But my main hope is that Atlus only does this with Persona.

This had better not leak into the main series and Devil Summoner.
