Grundle: The Awakening
ATLUS just shot themselves in the foot.
I dont know how much the rest of you know about Japanese fighting games culture (Im an expert), but alternate colour swaps are a huge part of it. Its not like it is in First Person Shooters where you can become successful by selling weapon DLC. If you release region-exclusive palette swap DLC, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the fighting game community, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase P4AU, nor will they purchase any of ATLUSs other games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but ATLUS has alienated an entire market with this move.
ATLUS, publicly apologize and release this DLC for everyone (or alternatively a Lisa Silverman swap for everyone) or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Heh. That reference.
