Nintendo only owns eternal darkness, metroid, fire emblem, golden sun.

In fire emblem, when you play on classic mode, the characters don't even die. They just leave the battlefield.

Have you played persona? In persona 3, your characters summon their gods by taking out a gun and shooting themselves in the face. Persona also talks about death, murder, rape, has lots of sexual innuendo and themes, not just sexual sounding voices and one liners, but actual narrative, and lots of religious philosophy.

PS: I'm not arguing against you or dialga, just correcting the differences here. I'm not saying Nintendo is kiddy either. I'm saying atlus is very dark. Catherine is basically a game about rape.


I have played fire emblem and i have played persona 3 and 4. But it sounds like you only Played Fire emblem awakening. Characters that died in battle were lost forever in the games. Awakening was the only one to give us the choice to not have that happen. And it was a welcome change.

The stories are about war, death, murder, loss, ambition, friendship and love. They are just as dark as persona if you ask me. Persona just focus on it more because its the central theme of the game to find out what is going on, while in fire emblem they are essentially coups, revenge and crimes of war. There is no underlying secret behind them but the will to conquer and murder.
