I have a Chinese name so when naming my character I tried to translate it into Japanese (badly).

I always name the main character after myself, but when I play Persona 4, I always internally refer to him as "Charlie" despite his name being my own.

Here's what the Japanese Devil Survivor 2 Animation box looks like. It seems like the only Atlus related property actually engaging the public right now.

I think there's a couple things for the P3 movie, but it took the Persona 4 Bear twitter account until today to post something about the Persona teaser page

Hashino had an interview with Sony Japan for PlayStation Awards 2013 and talked about the teaser there too. Supposed to be something good.

It's not out in Japan either. Index went full bankruptcy around the planned release. They delayed it to "fall" due to "quality issues." We only got SMTIV because technically, the US division is a separate company with all its stock owned by Index.Sega Dream.

Of course I think there was a pretty bad reaction to the 3D cutscenes in the trailer.

When Chie-chan addresses me by my name during our Christmas Eve date it makes me feel like she's actually my girlfriend.

(Seeing people say things like "Lucas-senpai" actually feels really weird, to be honest. I just use my name because I can't think of anything else.)

I always make up some generic Japanese name, just because having all those characters addressing someone with a Western name utter shatters the illusion for me. I can't even give my characters funny names in games with no sorry to speak of, like the Legend of Zelda games. …I think I have problem.

I do this too since my real name is like that compared to the setting but I use some common Japanese surname to make it less/more weird.

I usually play the Japanese versions so I just pick surnames of famous historical figures and then use my host brother in Japan's given name since I have no imagination. I used to Kanjify my own first name as "raging dragon" because it fits (and there's pretty much no other decent way to Kanjify my name) and it doesn't feel like they're addressing me directly that way.

My first SMT game was Persona 3 and the opening video kept flashing MEMENTO MORI everywhere so I named my guy that in P3 and every other SMT game I've played since. Mori is actually a japanese word too so it sort of works out? And you can technically write Memento in Japanese although I don't think it means anything.

No, they're saying that "mori" is coincidentally a Japanese word as well.

You never know. I just love how if you watch any of the Persona intro sequences you end up spoiling the entire story.

Hmm, is Persona 2: Innocent Sin (the PSP remake) supposed to be this easy on Normal? All the difficulty seemed to have been front-loaded. I haven’t been grinding at all, and just rush thru the dungeons as fast as I can. I actually managed to beat Joker by accidently leaving my game on auto-battle when I put my vita away.

Yeah, is more tedious that hard. I finished the snow queen quest and the normal game just using the initial personas.

Innocent Sin is super easy, yeah. The first time I played I cruised through the game until the final boss, and I think I was just doing things wrong there. Eternal Punishment is a bit harder, but neither is what I'd call a really difficult game.

Yeah, it's their best performer in the States, which means it'll still get localized. The question is just whether or not Atlus USA gets dissolved in favor of Sega's existing localization teams.
