I find it funny that you consider Kingdom Hearts a "Traditional" JRPG considering how much influence it draws from action and action-adventure games. |
Yeah you're right tbh, it isn't really "traditional" either.
| Hiku said: Very happy for this one. Because it could have just as well sold as 'little' as P3 and P4, which would have been fine. But I was always sure that more people would be into this series if they just gave it a chance. I attribute much of this growth to the eye-catching presentation of the game. |
I'd probably attribute a lot of it's growth to P4:Golden tbh. The vita release of Persona 4 really seemed to elevate the series in terms of how many people actually knew about it in the West. I'd never heard of Persona before it. Maybe that's just me.
But it somehow sold more on the Vita than the PS2 so I guess that shows that the franchise was definitely growing with that entry.

They did go all-in on the presentation, but Sega also marketed the hell out of it compared to previous entries (and other Atlus IPs).
Having half a dozen Persona spin-offs also helped the series visibility.
I hope this translates in more quality releases from Atlus.
Fantastic results! I'm just glad I'm not that guy that made that bet with Barkley.

Keep forgetting about this. Looking at the Wikipedia it seems they had only just started development when they announced it. They really shouldn't have announced so early.
Never played any Persona entry before P5. What a phenomenal game!
Glad to see its selling well (for JRPG games at least).

So true :) #Best Gameplay, Story, Characters, Soundtracks, love the Fightsystem ect :)

Someday, i hope you can play Persona 4 and P3 too, because both are amazing too. Persona 4 has maybe the best Story or Characters in my opinion, but its really hard to say, because P5 is fantastic!
Imagine what it could achieve if it was also on switch.
We reap what we sow
Yes you can't have a Persona thread with out some Switch input. It wouldn't sell all that great on Switch anyways. It's been 2 years since launch already. DQ11 was the same way. Sold okay in Japan but still poor compared to other mainline titles and bombed in the West. If that couldn't sell well then I would hardly think P5 would sell that well on Switch. Only to a few people on the forums.

You don't even know how DQ XI sales stands in the West and even less digital sales numbers in every region. Square enix could right now bring update and tell that the switch version reached almost 1 million in sales WW and that is not even highly extrapolating to trying to make a point.
Plus if SE didn't took so long to board on Switch with DQXI it could be way beyond than that. The same can be said for Atlus. Everybody could right now be celebrating a 5M instead of 3M.
Oh well... Atlus at least realised all that switch potential by making Persona 5 scramble multiplat
