The SMT wiki? It also covers Persona.

Same reason they changed the setting to america. Localization was the fucking wild west back then, they didn't think people wanted to play games obviously set in japan filled with japs.

Don't know, haven't played it yet. I'll play it sometime after I finish the mainline games and Strange Journey. Seems kinda cool.
>>343795716
Yeah, with the way he dressed and how he liked to graffiti shit, he probably wished he was black.

Cultural enrichment
They made everyone white except for Mark, who they made brown for more diversity. Even though the original game had all Japanese people

I'll never understand why localizers in the 90s were so terrified about children finding out about Japan's existence.

Yes. One super massive star and the sub stars are like planets and may even include dwarf stars.

The mines are a god awful time wasting experience and I don't know why anyone would ever be hyped for this.

People are always hyped for things they can't have.

Japan was the China of the late 80s. People were afraid it was going to cuck the US.
What did Atlus USA mean by this?

In the 80s, Japan was undergoing a bit of a technological revolution at the time, and was experiencing explosive economic growth. Kind of like how the Chinese buy land and force filmmakers to include Chinese-friendly propaganda in our movies nowadays, the Japanese were infamous for buying US baseball teams and golf courses, buying tons of land, and also Toyota and Honda broke into the US car market and started outselling and right out buying domestic makers.
White people felt that this threatened their livelihoods, and likewise retaliated with force. Hence why marketers would change game art all the time: To prevent backlash

Well this explains Sonic and Megaman's US box art.

Because Mark danced crazy
>>343800993
Will Japan ever experience a similar revolution again?
They were changing the world and after the 90s they just lost all of it. What the fuck happened?
>>343801583
Nope. This is also a line from that game.
>>343792071
>>343792071
I"m more curioius why they changed his hat.
>>343801583
Nope.
I wonder if part of the reason we never got Innocent Sin was not just because of, you know, Hitler, but because of Lisa 'Fuck english, I wish I had been born Chinese' Silverman.
>>343794812
Literally NEVER EVER. And it's the only SMT game I have yet to play.
>>343801776
Probably not, since they don't really dominate a tech or industrial field like they did back then (nowadays, when you think "computers," you think Microsoft or Apple rather than NEC or Fujitsu) and they spread themselves too thin with trying to expand into foreign markets too quickly. I'm not a stocks and numbers guy, though, so I know fuck-all about a lot of that stuff
>>343800993
>Toyota and Honda broke into the US car market and started outselling and right out buying domestic makers
japanese car manufacturers "broke" into the market just by making cars that lasted more than 50k miles before becoming unusable, before the 90s us car industry was the definition of garbage
>>343801776
Their bubble economy burst. Below are two pages talking about it, but it boils down to their economy tanking and them being afraid of it happening again.

And Columbine happened about a month before it released (remember, the game is about a bunch of edgelord kids convincing themselves that the literal legions of Hell have infiltrated their school, and stock up on guns to deal with the problem)

I liked it. Really cool in a retrospective sort of way to see the beginning of Persona.

Nah, Sonic's design changes were a result of the localization team trying to appeal to Western kids. And it worked. If anything, the situation was the opposite because it was the Japs who were pissed about us baka gaijin messing with their glorious nipponese designs. Sega of America and Japan hated each other guts and this was just one of the many squabbles they had over the years. They probably still go at it to this day- just not as openly.
Mega Man you can chalk up to Capcom being fucking retarded, I guess.

I can't think of any reason why SoJ wouldn't get on with SoA.
Picture of Bernie Stolar completely unrelated.
