Atlus

Released June 21st, 2001 in Japan and May 7th, 2002 in North America.

It was published by Nintendo and Atlus Corporation.

You may know them from their work on Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, and the recently released Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Boy, that's hard to say.

You deserve it.

Dante The Clerk with a $2 Super Chat says, "Sega owns Atlus.

Could he be in Persona 6?"

Brought that up.

I know, Mike, you said you've dabbled in a few others.

I know Persona 5 Strikers, which probably interested you because of the Persona and Atlus RPG connection.

I know Fire Emblem is definitely your thing.

I know you've dabbled in Fire Emblem games and Dragon Quest being a franchise franchise.

Yeah, he's not in anything else.

But Atlus is, like-

Well, hold on

... all in.

[laughs] No

No'Cause that was during that era

Jack Frost has been seen as the icon of the entire series for many years, and has even become the active mascot for Atlus as a whole.

Due to Jack Frost's absurd popularity, he is the only demon in the series to appear in every single Shin Megami Tensei game.

I would just like getting around to other things.

This is just in the general chat alone, because if you end up checking out RadioSC.GA forward slash Discord, you will see we have a whole load of new channels split up! So, there's separate places to discuss Sega and Atlus, there's a separate place for just general gaming, for video game music, for music in general, for TVs and Muses, for pets! For pets, I even posted a picture of my cat on there! Yes, cute! What's got a hobby's channel, even though that's hardly been discussed yet.

I think that would be a great place to actually share my crochet, now that I think of it.

anyway now that we got all these amazing things happening let's go towards plot number one all right then so it's all requests from you what i ended up picking out right here is um well three of these are actually requests one of these there's a reason why i put that in there and i will make sure to openly discuss that by the time we end up going around to the next music break But now we have something that was a request from Jamie.

My only thought process should have been, okay, clearly at some point, because it came out in October for a console that had released in June, so that's not like four months is nothing crazy.

I'm like, okay, that kind of makes more sense, but then you look at other stuff like Why then are we going from October of 2025 to 13 months later is the next Atlus game releasing on Switch 2? With metaphor.

Like, obviously it did not take 13 months for this to come out.

And then they're doing it again.

So it's kind of baffling, to be honest.

Yeah, and I haven't been able to prove this, but at the same time, I also haven't been able to unprove this.

I have known, and I mean, everybody knows as well who has eyeballs, like Xbox has been giving Atlus and specifically Sega a lot of money for their marketing for almost four plus years now at this point.

They did it with Persona 3, Persona 4, Persona Tactica, Metaphor, and even Persona 6 now.

Shouts out to Chris.

A dedicated team of coders and translators have finally completed a 10-year-plus project to translate Atlus' RPG sequel, Summon Night Swordcraft Story: Stone of Beginnings.

Originally released on the Game Boy Advance back in 2005, and now translated into English.

The third title in the epic anime-infused adventure series, Stone of Beginnings, was the only game in the Bamco Presto Summon Night Swordcraft Story sub-series not to receive a Western localization, a fact that understandably frustrated the fans of this admittedly niche but still loved franchise.
