Re: Atlus Reveals Most Popular Persona 5 Royal Character In Official Poll

Makoto and Haru are my two favourites, so I'm mixed on this, I guess what hurts Haru is that she is introduced so late into the game. I'm not fond of Futaba, and no one I have spoken to seems to like her, though maybe if you just see her as a none love interest she's fine.

I only got Royal on PS5 this Christmas, before I only had the PS3 version, and I haven't reached the part where Kasumi starts to play an important role yet, but she seems nice so far.

Joker is my favourite male and Morgona is second, the rest are fine, I just don't have any strong opinions about them one way or another.

Re: Takashi Iizuka Says He Already Knows What The Next Sonic Game Is

@AtlanteanMan I did ignore you, I started to notice your comments as they stand being very large and loud, yet never said anything. but I decided to reply because I not only disagree but also find your complaints faulty and biased.

You claim to be critical of SEGA, but you're really not, all you do is complain that IPs you like haven't got any sequels/recent entries. Which don't get me wrong, I can empathise with. Only you spin that into a flawed argument that by not making said games, they as a company are washed up. It's substituting biased for criticism. I mean you say Valkyria Chronicles was made with a "genuinely passionate creative team.", but why? Why does the game you like, just so happen be made with passion and creativity, yet none of the titles you like are.

Look I'm not against the idea of them making sequels to any of those IPs, but it makes sense that they haven't, Skies of Arcadia sold poorly on both the DC and GCN. And Atlus are a big player in the JRPG market so they really don't need to be making a sequel to a game that people made it quite clear they didn't want. As for Shinning, Fire Emblem faulted for years in the west, it wasn't until Awakening that it started to do well, and that was a more well known IP. I suppose though out of everything you've said, bringing Shinning back as a SRPG, might be the one valid point you have, as it might be able to corner that niche if they get lucky.

@AtlanteanMan How can you be aware of it, you keep complaining that they are only interested in Sonic. And what about other IPs, you say they outsourced their remake of House of the Dead to another dev, yet fail to mention that Scarlet Dawn was developed in-house. Puyo Puyo Tetris, Super Monkey Ball, Phantasy Star Online II regardless of whether you like them or not are all different IPs.

I'd like to remind you, that they brought back Sakura Wars due to fan demand, yet nobody, likely including you, cared one bit about it. So why bring back Shinning Force(whose devs are now owned by Nintendo) or make a sequel to Skies of Arcadia? Hardley anyone is going to buy them, and 'd be pretty surprised to see you singing said games praises. Why not find a new games company to obsess over, instead of banging on about IPs from the last century like some out of touch old man.

Re: Sega Is Teasing A New Game, Reveal Happening Soon

@AtlanteanMan Before the announcement there was news that Creative Assembly had been working on a new game for 4 years, so it was pretty safe to say that that was what was going to be announced.

So what exactly were you hoping for? The devs under SEGA of Europe make their own titles, they don't work on any of SEGAs existing IPs. Did you think the studio behind Total War and Alien: Isolation were going to make a new Skies of Arcadia or Jet Set Radio game.
