I have questions. Perhaps dumb but I don't know.
Can't Atlus like...buy themselves?
I mean don't they have all the infrastructures to be an independant company?
Why do they need a parent company?

Every company has an owner. That may be a single person or a mass of share-owners though (that is the case for MS/Sony/Nintendo). Index could sell them on the stock market, but I think it is a more complicated operation.

1. Marvelous
2. Namco-Bandai
3. Sony
4. Nintendo

The most important thing is the great niche game that Atlus has given us continue. Really want to play Persona 5 some day.

SMT x Fire emblem though. I dont think Nintendo would allow Sony to get them, unless it doesnt affect the project.

I doubt Nintendo has enough riding on such a niche crossover game as SMT X FE that they'd really care what happens to Atlus if they weren't already interested in buying them.

Good to hear this is false, though. The mere mention of Capcom made my blood run cold.

GungHo is still the best choice. It would cost them like one month of Puzzle & Dragons profits!

Oh god. Please not Capcom.

GungHoooooooo!

I have a feeling if it was a first party developer/publisher - it would be Nintendo who would get it due to FireEmblem/ShinMegamiTensei game and that teased collaboration game.

I hope its Marvelous AQL though. Forgot about Gungho lmao.

well what about Sony and the Persona series?
