I'm certain it will be good. I'm just not certain of its sales potential, and I fear that it may not sell well enough to warrant sequels.

Then again, this is Atlus we're talking about. The same company that has continued to make SMT games for decades, despite the fact that none of them have sold over a million (including all of the spinoffs), and most sell under 500k. And then there's the EO series, which is in worse shape. They're practically Niche: The Company, so I guess I shouldn't be worried as Nintendo and them likely have reasonable expectations.

I'm thinking they'll just settle with calling it Illusory Revelations and call it a day. Maybe a FE reference thrown in for marketing. And aw, I kinda like the #FE. Well, I do after learning why it's called that, at least. But I'm pretty sure they won't be keeping that for the western name anyways.


I don't think so. Persona's original title was Revalations: Persona, and that didn't stick. I think Performa's a much more marketable name than something as nonsensical sounding as Illusory Revalations.

Then again, Shin Megami Tensei. And Bravely Default. And Kingdom Hearts.

...We'll see.

That was because Shin Megami Tensei used to be localized as Revelations. Just like how Last Bible was Revelations: The Demon Slayer. The Revelations was nowhere to be seen in the original title.
