That statement is incorrect. What is weird about the game? ?Have you played it or are you just prematurely judging it by it's cover?? There's hardly anything "weird" about Persona. I swear this is the dumbest thing i've heard in a long time. The game is as normal as a phillips screwdriver. There's no "weird" shyt happening in the game at all. You play as a city high school kid who moves into a quite rural town with his Uncle and his daughter. A string of bizarre murders occur and you and a group of other high school students start to find out what's going on. Of course the plot gets much more deep than a detective case but besides that, you do normal shyt in the game. There was never any feeling of :merchant: when playing the game.


How can a game featuring Izanagi, a deity in Japanese mythlogy which is used in popular culture such as Naruto, Okami(The game) and this game be weird??



As for me using Persona 4 as an example on this forum, it's not absurd. Persona 4 has gained a lot of popularity here in the US. Of course in Japan it's even more popular but to say it has no audience up here is silly. Plenty of folks on this here forum played and liked Persona 3/4 . Just because YOU in particular don't care for it doesn't make my point null.

Heck, I'm using my examples for games that are highly praised, irrespective of where it comes from.


That halo example is terrible because quite frankly, Xbox as a platform isn't even popular or cared about in Japan whereas you can find people in the US that fukk with Persona. Don't be so close minded, you're just using conjecture.

God of War 3, The Last of Us, Assassins Creed 2, Modern Warfare, etc....take your pic. All games on the PS3 that sold well in the US but in Japan nobody gave a fukk. Thats what the Persona series is like over here.

And yeah some Naruto shyt like Izanagi is obscure. If i started talking about Susanoo to most people they would be like :mindblown:. But see i know that shyt is obscure so i dont pretend like its mainstream like you trying to do with this Persona shyt.

So then the million dollar question is WHY WOULD HE DO SUCH A THING :shaq:

Did that game revolve around fostering emotional bonds with teenagers? :usure:

So fostering relationships with pre-pubescent adolescents is better to you is what you saying eh. You sick b*stard.

You're creating a strawman here. I'm not saying Persona is a huge mainstream blockbuster title in the US, I said it's a top tier RPG as told by those who played it and critical reception by reviewers alike.

That's not the same as saying "Persona is going to be a huge smash in the US :banderas:". I'm saying it's a damn good game that's getting more popular over time. I'm sure more people are hearing about Persona now than say 5 years ago. Word of mouth is powerful. I didn't even know what Persona was until a couple of years ago online and since playing it I tell people about it. The glowing reception is pretty unanimous.

Persona is much more popular in the US than say any other Atlus title such as the mainline SMT series or other spinoffs like Devil Summoner or Digital Devil Saga. Case in point, if someone likes JRPGS, they're doing themselves a disservice ignoring Persona because of preconceived notions about what kind of game it is. I thought it was a damn card game at one point.

Breh, just stop.

I love games like Persona 4 Golden, Rogue Legacy, Resogun, Velocity, and Spelunky. I'm not grouping them together or saying they're similar (because they're not), but these are the kind of titles that don't appeal to The Coli masses.

If it ain't some basic mainstream cookie-cutter game made for the masses, a lot of people on here aren't trying to hear it. That's not to say AAA titles are automatically trash, because they're not. I love me some Fallout, NHL, Madden, Uncharted, Bioshock, etc.

But this is the wrong forum to have any sort of discussion about games that don't have their own special display stand at your local GameStop.
