They won't. Wada will gear SE toward the west, and these two are not the key for it. But if they do purchase them, our beloved series could be ruined... it is SE, after all.

Nooooooooooooo!

 

I concur. However I get the feeling they'd rather stay independent (mainly Atlus).

How about...you STOP acquiring people SE and focus on make awesome games and getting them out faster (although I know that's impossible since SE acts stupid)?

 

Damnit, I should have pit that Darth Vade "Nooooooooo" pic. I just thought of it now. Oh well, maybe next time.

Yeah. Atlus will also be doing rehashes of rehashes of rehashes, along with 5 years development time for each new game.

Or is it because of 360 exclusivity?

But they are putting out series that are rising in popularity. Wada was just talking about getting newer, fresher developers to make great games.

Becuase Atlus can benefit from SE muscle...

Not to mention the possible personell changes/cuts that might occur.

Lol, SE won't go for Niche devs like them. What they sell is not exactly popularity.

A foreign one that's for sure.

I'd say changes... or to be more precise, additions.
