Japan gets mobile game Persona 4 Social  photo

Persona 4 is everywhere! It's on your Vita, in your fighting game cabinets, and now on Japanese cell phones. Index Corporation announced Persona 4 Social (tentative title) as one of the social games they’re working on. There's not much in the way of details on this title, but it's certain to be something like Mobage-town title Persona 3 Social. Maybe there will more yellow this time.

Siliconera says that Index has another mobile title in the works. They're working with Keiji Inafune on a social game called The Island of Dr. Momo.

So is every hit Atlus game going to become a walking media whore? I hope not. I love Atlus, but this is an unhealthy practice. At this rate I expect Catherine to get an anime, clothing line, mobile game, a port, and possibly a sequel.

*clears throat* there's already a P4 porn. Just search for Persona 4 Hentai, and you'll get your reward.

The Persona series is really the only in-house Atlus game to get this sort of treatment (the others, Catherine being the exception, have been really niche). It all seems like a bit much at once, I agree, but seeing that all but one of these things are being developed by Atlus themselves, it seems more like a timing thing than "Oh, now people love the series, so we should milk it." P4 has been out for a good while, after all. I'm a big fan, though, so I might be biased lol

I'm a big fan as well, Persona 4 is one of my favorite (if not my absolute favorite) games of all time. It's just one of those "too much of a good thing" situations. I'd rather Atlus spend their resources making other Shin Megami Tensei games.

@Noir:
Persona 3 and 4 were the first games Atlud ever made that sold more than five copies. Eventually they'll get diminishing returns for the franchise and hit rock bottom. Then they'll go back to their roots and enjoy marginal success again.

Like Rocky, really. We're at the part where Atlus is doing commercials shamelessly for lots of money, but can't read dem cue cards no good.

I'm one (of the few, seemingly) who loves it when great things become popular. As long as you don't lose sight of how to make great media, go for it. So far, the P4 anime is great, the games are great, the style is great. What the fuck is the problem?

Atlus fucking deserves this. A lifetime in the shadows and their moment in the sun is spoiled by hipsters? Fuck that.

I hope the SMT main series becomes just as popular. Great for Atlus.

All these extra Persona 4 projects (the anime, cell phone, fighting game etc) gives me hope that my dream will come true. Instead of them announcing Persona 5 I would love if they announced a Persona 4-2.
