Because now every game, legally, has to crossover with Persona
Only yesterday we reported that costumes related toVirtua Fighter, Yakuza and Sonic the Hedgehogwere coming to Atlus’Persona 3: Dancing Moon NightandPersona 5: Dancing Star Nightgames.Now it seems thePhantasy Star Online 2will be receiving somePersonaitems of its own.
Announced this weekend as part of Sega’s Fes 2018 event, the Japanese MMORPG will receive a bundle of fun accessories based on the rhythm-action games. These include character avatars, new clothing items and, of course, a whole new set of dancing emojis, so your player avatar can throw shapes in the lobby with other like-minded players.
Clearly the outstanding success of last year’sPersona 5has had a huge influence on Atlus and Sega, who are pushing these spin-offs to the moon with en masse trailers, endless live streams and crossover campaigns. Surely a Western release forPersona 3: Dancing Moon NightandPersona 5: Dancing Star Nightis all but confirmed by this point.
As for a Western release forPhantasy Star Online 2… that, sadly, remains the stuff of a madman’s dream.
