>The combined sales of SMTV and VV were over 2 million
>Sega says the sales of Metaphor and SMTVV reported in Atlus' twelfth fiscal term finally turned a profit after the studio was recording losses since being acquired and paying off the debt it accumulated after the sale

VV not only sold better than any mainline game, it also financially saved the studio from debt. Are we looking at an era of VV now like with P5? Will it be 10 years until VI after numerous VV spin offs?

>VV not only sold better than any mainline game
that was true as of SMTV by itself ,Vengeance has yet to outsell the vanilla version despite all the supposed improvements and being multiplatform -and- people doubledipping
Persona 3 Reload also sold 98% of both versions combined with a single release in a fraction of the time, by now it's easily outsold them

>>715123161
>Vengeance has yet to outsell the vanilla version
It sold nearly the same. At the end of the day, VV is a glorified port that was mainly able to reuse the same assets and engine. The fact it has nearly sold as much as it did when it first released has probably made Sega shareholders jizz their pants.

The /vg/ schizo shitposts regularly I'm afraid. I sure miss when SMT threads were started by literally anyone else.

>>715126268
Pretty sure these threads are the only ones that exist to you because you can look in the archive and see several other smt threads started on /v/ without this image.

>Pretty sure these threads are the only ones that exist to you
No idea what this is supposed to convey even. Go bully random icelandic kids, or whatever it is you do with your life.

V is successful but it's not Earth Shattering successful like P5 so weird comparison

>>715126637
It is in the sense that Atlus doesn't know how to top it for the next game. It's why P6 is taking so long.

>>715126894
No, retard. The reason why P6 is taking 10 trillion years is because the guy who made all Personas refuses to make more so Atlus is desperately training a new pajeet who will try to imitate him

How many years ago, or was it during the Metaphor interviews?

Why the fuck does it matter? You think he suddenly changed his mind like you changed your mind and decided to become a woman?

Entirely possible.

I'm glad. If this is because SMTV ans VV did well then I guess we have fujos to thank.

>SMTV for another decade
Wait no I want SMTVI soon please don't milk V and VV

>>715129237
Aogami is a popular character but I don't think he's the reason VV sold so well.

>>715129237
I don't believe at all that fujos are the reason V sold. If V is a fujo game they do nothing to advertise it as one.

>>715131947
The moment the twink protagonist was revealed there was gay porn of him posted on /v/

>>715132575
Literally every Japanese game with a twink.

>>715131947
Doi thinks the design of the Nahobino sold the game. And it's not because of porn. The design us interesting and looks cool in game. Neon with a giant hair cape. Cool protags can sell games.

Many Tales of games
Neir Automata (9S)
Persona 3, 4 and 5
Metaphor

V being one of the only good games on the switch is what sold it originally.
VV sold everywhere else sold due to console exclusivity envy.

>>715129237
the raidou remaster is so good but it feels like it didnt sell as well as it could have, mostly just a hunch
just beat it today and im just left wondering what a raidou 3 could actually look like

>>715124049
as opposed to small hat as in jews? Who wears the big hat?

>>715124049
>>715125890
He’s fucking ugly with no ass

>>715137463
Who? The fused form has no ass but separately they both have big asses when they bend over. A shame really.

>it feels like it didnt sell as well as it could have
Right now I'd say it looks like it's doing okay for a remaster of an old cult classic that's a niche within a niche. As far as physical copies go, we only know that in Japan it's sold around 50k across all platforms. Steam player count isn't reliable because Nocturne only ever got a few hundred shy of roughly 2k despite selling way more than that, and we don't really know how the digital sales look. It was never going to sell gorillions of dollars but it didn't flop.

>wondering what raidou 3 could actually look like
Like shit, if Yamai has his way. He mentioned he wanted to have a Raidou 3 take place in the modern day which throws out the two things people love about the games the most: the characters (who would all be dead besides Gouto and I guess Rasputin) and the setting that makes it unique from, well, every other SMT game that takes place in a modern setting already. That and no Raidou XIV, no buy, at least for me.

>protagonist is literally a gay femboy named Nonbinary
You can't make this shit up.

>>715138676
It's OK when Japan does it and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
