Some sort of Sword Art Online X Persona 5 Royal collaboration is coming.
- Thread starter Gold Arsene
- Start date
Kirito will end up in an Turn Based JRPG and will be OP without leveling and basically playing this like a RTS
Atlus, of course. Persona has just become the vehicle for merchandising

OP
Awful characters, awful writing, and over reliance on rapey-villains.
It's just a terrible, terrible property. Overpowered protagonist with magical amazing awesome powers, collects a harem of weak willed women that seem strong until they see how truly powerful and awesome Kirito is, just absolutely awful antagonists, a poor translation of videogame elements that wastes the potential.
Source: I watched the first two seasons for some fucking reason.
SAO is some of the worst garbage I've ever watched but can't deny it was hugely popular. Maybe it still is in Japan
OP

I'm pretty sure it's still popular in general.
It's still getting new series and they still keep bringing them over.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. As the tweet says, it's as a collaboration between Persona 5 Royal and Sword Art Online's two mobile games Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag and Sword Art Online: Integral Factor.
The other funny thing is that it seems like the people who are responsible for the property have been embarrassed by the franchise's early days and have mostly been interested in learning, growing, and making better stuff. Apparently some SAO spinoff anime series are, from what I have heard, actually watchable?

I heard positive things about the Gun Gale spin-off but I haven't watched anything past season 1 yet I do want to at some point thpough just becuse I like forming my own opinions on these things.
Ah yeah that figures.
no joke, the author of SAO himself literally apologized to the voice actresses for after the rape scene in Alicization aired
and then was like "yeah I totally used rape as a storytelling device too much back when i was writing sao"
and also pointed out that the anime actually made things worse by having one of the rapists make a cartoonish leap onto the bed when the rape scene started
(and if you haven't seen it, it's some real looney toons shit)
SAO has one of the biggest Mary Sue protagonists of all time, it treats it's female characters absolutely abysmally and is largely accepted as the reason that Isekai has largely taken over anime in general (which a lot of people hate)
SAO is one of the most divisive anime in recent history and yet it keeps printing money so it'll keep getting made.
Honestly Reki's character development IRL seems to be better than it ever got for any character in SAO
If you didnt put Kirito into this paragraph I wouldnt have been able to tell if you were talking about Persona or SAO.
Yeah, Kirito was voted number one male character of the decade. To deny its popularity says more yourself than the series.
Persona has essentially spent the past decade riding on a one-way bullet train into the exact same sexist, exploitative dimension that SAO occupies, so the two basically deserve each other at this point.
Fuck it give Asuna one too. Go big or go home. Yui can be his Morgana
Namco Bandai really need to stop making multiple gacha games based off the same franchise. Shit's annoying. Tales has had 3, with one more on the way.

i've never seen a mobile game take over a year from announcement to launch
