Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers announced (PS4/Switch, Musou, Atlus x Koei Tecmo) (See Staff Post)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Nintendo got something out of it for sure but Atlus surely benefitted way the fuck more than they did.
I don't think anyone's saying that.
Yes and I don't know why I am hyped for this. I guess for some weird reason. :P
Seriously people, buy a cheap PS3/4 and play Persona 5 that way. Sometimes games don't come to the system you prefer, and the answer isn't to whine about it.
Not into musou games really but this looks okay - would be more interested if it was a general Persona musou rather than specifically Persona 5. To be honest there are so many games coming to Switch from hereon out this release might get squeezed.
Atlus' relationship with Nintendo is super interesting going forward. We know about SMTV but obviously Atlus gave big support to the DS and 3DS and with the Switch absolutely crushing it in Japan and the crazy attach rate for Octopath it just seems really odd if Atlus doesn't give more core JRPG support to the Switch. I believe Etrian Odyssey was teased but I honestly still think Persona 5 in some form will come to the Switch eventually especially as development time and costs continue to escalate and mid tier developers need to quickly cash in on existing games to cover the long periods between releases.

Knowing how badly people have wanted, begged for, and gotten upset that Persona 5 hasn't been announced for the Switch yet I can't help but laugh at this announcement.
I think you missed mine. Cloud's inclusion in Smash is based on him being a huge gaming icon. Smash is all about putting big gaming icons together, but some icons are smaller than others, and are by inclusion given a sort of shout-out (e.g. Ness). Joker's the first 3rd party character that I would argue is not a gaming icon at the tier of the other 3rd party characters. Consequently his inclusion is in the first place a shout-out to a game that is exclusive to a competitor's platform. And though he was chosen by Sakurai, the options presented to him were given by Nintendo JP, suggesting (now) that Nintendo's actively giving a shout-out to a (current-gen unlike FF7) exclusive of their competitor.
The thing is, that just sounds like a personal opinion. Someone could just as easily say that a long game like persona 5 is meant to immerse yourself into rather than simply play in chunks on the go. Maybe my gaming habits are weird, but when I'm on the go, there typically isn't much time for gaming and super long trips aren't common enough for me to justify taking my switch everywhere.
no reason to do a persona crossover musou now when you can just release persona 3 musou and persona 4 musou in two years
I, err, genuinely don't know what this means?
Ah okay, I was going off what I thought I read ages ago.
Oh my god lol, everything makes sense now!!!Of course Sakurai loves Persona 5
It definitely is. It created interest in Fire Emblem in the west and helped grow awareness about Earthbound. Both of these facts were confirmed by higher-ups at Nintendo.
Rumors are there is a fighting game coming too. Don't know when considering that Arc System Works are still working a bit on FighterZ and that GranBlue Fantasy Versus game... and that Kill La Kill game. :/
Finally got around to watching the teaser. Looks pretty cool.
I hope there's an exclusive Switch version that comes with little salt packets inside the case, though. Seriously, when will you guys stop being so embarrassing?

Even if I'm not a huge musou fan I'm a big proponent of every musou game coming to Switch. That sort of mook grinding is the perfect thing to have on in handheld mode while you watch a show on TV that doesn't require too much mental attention either, like one of those CW Arrowverse shows. I feel about the same way for grinding in Pokemon -- it's OK if you have stuff to occupy your attention
I knew there was going to be a lot of salt, but it's not like they cancelled a game or anything like that.
Atlus isn't buying ad space. Joker's inclusion wasn't a ploy by Atlus or Nintendo to make Persona more popular. They put a popular character into Smash cause he was popular.
So why are people shitting on this and not the shitty dancing games that bombed?
This is more interesting for a start.

Yeah those poor smaller titles like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy and Street Fighter would have no where near the amount of interest they have now if it wasn't for Smash
Switch fans revving themselves into hysteria then lashing out is hilarious to me. A dlc fighter people seem to like isn't some collosal misstep because a dev doesn't decide not to port another game.
Crippling disappointment following unreasonable hype is perfect for the Switch.
I think the mostly legitimate reason this is disappointing is that Persona 5 was developed for PS3 and mostly uses that level of assets. There really isn't any good reason they couldn't release it on the Switch.
I'm starting to suspect there's Sony money in keeping the main series on their consoles, though. I don't think that's a stretch.

You don't think this makes the character/series more popular?
Being in a series known to sell tens of millions and help popularize some series?
What do those have to do with the two series the poster and Nintendo said benefitted greatly from being in Smash?
Wouldn't that prove that nobody wants this game, if the bitching about is bigger than the playing of it :p
What i have to say is that the salt is equally amusing and understandable at the same time.
The sense of entitlement some people have for something that was never promised to them is just amazing.
