Atlus is in trouble...

If this is so, wouldn't they just strap on an "M" label? It hasn't stopped an RPG from selling *points to Parasite Eve*. I guess I'm just blindly complaining but I found it odd that they held back on this project while releasing Eternal Punishment instead. They've released games that are more obsure and sold less than Persona (Brigandine, Hoshigami). Just holding off on a game and releasing its sequel is annoying and stupid. It's like a studoi saying "Hey, we're not releasing the Matrix, but we're releasing The Matrix Reloaded" and people who watch the movie know what's going on at the very moment, but so much of the storyline is blocked out because you haven't seen the plot of the first one.

PErsona 2:EP wasn't a sequel to IS per se. They were more like the different scenarios of Shining Force III: The same story from different sides, chronologically the same.

The reason they picked EP instead of IS was because it was generally regarded as the better of the two. It came out later and they had more time to do what they wanted with it.

:lol: You've got to be kidding me.

Oh, and I got really worried when I read the thread title, because I thought it was Atlus USA. The parent company can probably weather hard times easier than a U.S. branch. As far as I know Atlus USA is doing pretty well, thank god.

Hitler coming back to life

This is the greatest game ever made.

Please tell me that Abraham Lincoln is also in this somewhere.

Personally Atlus and Atlus USA should'nt even be considered the same company IMO, Atlus USA is more like Working Designs in that they localize more of other peoples games and hardly their own ... but without the delays and old jokes ;)

Don't get me wrong, I like the games they choose to bring over... it's just that they make some good games as well and I would love for once to get a Shin Megami Tensei game or Growlanser title from them :(

he looks so happy.D

Holy shit, that's awesome. Can Hitler be in your party? :)
