Sweetie, the only thing they can do well is SMT.

>>384282845
They were, during the 90s
The departure of Okada and the release of Nocturne marked the decline, however.
And now that even Kaneko does fuckall, literally who cares anymore besides personafags

>>384281819
Too bad they're jews obsessed with remakes.

it's because you have some sort of brain parasites that are affecting your judgement and how you perceive things

>shitting on EO
DeSu 2 was a massive disappointment in terms of tone/plot, but was an improvement otherwise. Etrian Odyssey is great, even with the missteps of 4 and the shit Story Modes in the Untolds.

Both luminous arcs were a pile of shit.

>>384284796
I played it about 2 years ago, and then went on to 4 soon afterwards. Spent well over 100 hours on each game, and I can comfortably say that both of them are bad games, with 4 being the better of the two thanks to gameplay alone, even with a far less interesting plot.

>>384283456
>mainline SMTfag shitting on EO
You're fucking retarded aren't you?

>>384283691
Story modes made the game a better deal than just a graphical upgrade cash grab. It's more content and it gave me a reason to replay EO 1 and 2 after playing the DS versions.

Alright what are some Atlus games to emulate? I have played all the Persona games and have played SMT 1, SMT 2, and Nocturne as well as Digital Devil Saga. I am playing Strange Journey right now.

wtf this is like sex. Do the other games focus on this fantastic modern day apocalypse setting? Which one has the biggest emphasis on exploring a destroyed, demon infested city?

I had the same experience, anon. it was fucking awesome. I buyed it during a sale. One of my best gaming decisions ever.


>Do the other games focus on this fantastic modern day apocalypse setting? Which one has the biggest emphasis on exploring a destroyed, demon infested city?
All mainline SMT.

>>384284338
how's that blazblue tang, thundercock?

>>384281819
Because Atlus can't afford to be as lazy as bigger companies. If more than one or two games tank, they die. That simple.
It's amazing what those stakes do for a company.

would still play 2 over most other JRPGs

How do we make SMT as popular as Persona?

>>384286679
Man, from the trailers I always thought the samurais were gonna travel in time to go to tokyo or some shit like that. Making the Tokyo the literal HELL was really great and inventive, not only that but it also added a layer to the story, I really wanted to know what happened to make the city covered in a shell. SMTIV plot may be pretty crazy but the world built around it was pretty interesting.

>>384286861

>>384289731
This image triggers me. No proper Fatlus would buy FF titles.

>>384289327
Honestly? Just change the tone a little. From the outside, SMT has always looked weird and edgy. Advertise it as some fun, accessible RPG romp, and by the time shit goes down in the story, and the combat gets deeper, first-timers are already hooked.

>>384290491
So SMT 4?

>>384290591
Yeah. It took Persona 3 titles to hit the popularity it's at. They just need to keep at it.

Atlus is pretty inconsistent with localizations.
Their translations are pretty spot on. I just wish they could tell us when they're going to release DT2-2.

>>384286679
>Which one has the biggest emphasis on exploring a destroyed, demon infested city?

most of the mainline games have this to some degree, but Nocturne probably has it turned up the most

MoP has great ambience and quests. It's sill part of the main game that is WOW which is still ongoing and profiting after all these years.

Go back and play Diablo 2 and tell me it does something better than 3 other than music and ambience in general (being mor dark / gothic).

I have not played HotS so I can't comment much on that other than it's basically as team based oriented as a MOBA gets today.

>>384281819
Why are they called Atlus? Because of Atlas?

>>384297072
Could be. Both are written the same way in Japanese. Perhaps they thought they were clever by misromanizing it on purpose. As far as I know there is no official record on history behind their name.
