Return from E3 2012
Greetings, ATLUS ONLINE fans! Three-thousand handouts, four computers, and three days later, we’ve returned from E3 2012 with hopes of more players visiting Pandora Saga, MegaTen, BattleSpace, and Knights of the Sky than ever before.
As E3 2012 explorers lined up to play Pandora Saga and MegaTen, forum moderators “Bacon’s Taken”, “Fire from Heaven”, and “Moderator” talked about the exciting playerbase, engaging worlds, and free-to-play goodness in all ATLUS ONLINE games.
Visitors from the United States, Brazil, Australia, England, and China headed out with the plan to download Pandora Saga and/or MegaTen after their E3 2012 journey was over. We’re excited to welcome them!
While ATLUS ONLINE received tons of hype—people had to try the CYBORG R.A.T. 7 on our machines, if nothing else—we also encouraged players to check out our ATLUS superstar: Persona 4 Arena! ‘Cause, seriously, who can resist a mega-fightin’ Teddie?
Persona 4 Arena delivered awesomeness in droves. The lines were heavy, the competitions were hot, and the award nominations kept pouring in!
P4A was nominated for awards from:
- Gaming Excellence
- Machinima
- IGN
- Destructoid (Best of Fighters category)
- Game Revolution
- Game Informer
It’s no wonder we had lines wrapping around the booth—from open to close, all three days—for our Persona 4 Golden and Persona 4 Arena free E3 2012 shirt. Our console games were taking names and signing autographs.
According to fans, the lines were worth it. An ATLUS visitor commented, “This is the best t-shirt I’ve ever seen at E3, and I’ve been coming for years.”
At the end of the show, we still had an enormous crowd… The shirt wait was so intense, there were people playing Pandora Saga just to pass the time. We were thrilled to talk to them, and even happier when they said, “This is free? I’m definitely checking it out.”
But enough about our E3 2012 adventure. Now let’s hear your thoughts!
You tell us! Give us your /hugs and /says.
- Are you going to pick up Persona 4 Arena?
- Have you met E3 2012 players in Pandora Saga, MegaTen, or our free flash games?

I can just picture the terror the AO booth must have felt the whole while people were trying to play MegaTen. “Oh god oh god, PLEASE don’t crash at E3, that would be the worst time possible…”

Well…You guys keep saying good things about SMT and stuff..”he exciting playerbase, engaging worlds, and free-to-play goodness in all ATLUS ONLINE games.”but…SMT status is really lame!

I loved this game I loved this game for awhile as a gunenr, and later made a melee character. Holy crap; I thought gunenrs shot slow. I understand that it wants to conform to the SMT styles in the past, but I’d rather it be either completely turn based, or completely real time, as apposed to the hybrid-like style it tries to pull now. It’s not the worst, but It’s gotta be close. I was about to get it again, but couldn’t remember why until I saw this. Was this answer helpful?

I’m love this statements
“At the end of the show, we still had an enormous crowd… The shirt wait was so intense, there were people playing Pandora Saga just to pass the time. We were thrilled to talk to them, and even happier when they said, “This is free? I’m definitely checking it out.” ”
Could we have that shirt too

That’s the exact same response my brtheor and I had to Catherine: Atlus is making a game based on Haruki Murakami’s Dance Dance Dance and/or A Wild Sheep Chase. Or close enough.As for the idea of this getting localized… well, it’s Atlus. Atlus USA is the game publisher equivalent of a little artisanal butcher shop that sells to a very small and knowledgeable clientele. They know there’s a (relatively small) market of gamers in the states who will go nuts for this thing.
