| the_dengle said: Hey, I can't explain Atlus's decisions. But suppose they're interested in expanding their fanbase to the most successful console in Japan (or the world) at the moment. What would be the best way to do that? None of their directors have experience developing for both 3DS and a current Sony platform, so a multiplatform game is pretty much off the table. So they handed Persona to their Etrian Odyssey director -- a series that does have a fanbase on 3DS. Franchises are one way to look at it. If this game was Vita exclusive, one might say that it wouldn't make sense because there's no fanbase for dungeoncrawlers on Vita. The remaining alternative would be for this game to not exist, and seeing as it'll probably be pretty good (at least as good as your average Etrian Odyssey game), I can't imagine why a Persona fan would say, "I want fewer Persona games to exist in the world." You can play the 3DS game if it appeals to you or you can pass it by. It's a spin-off. In no way should Persona fans feel like they have to buy a 3DS to get the full Persona experience or whatever. |
