<3 you all. Stay tuned!
Yeah, there might be some lower profile Japanese game with that art style few of us have heard about, but more likely it's a western indie pickup.
How are people linking that picture with Yakuza? That Citizens of Earth game sounds like a safer prediction.
Not me. Where is my SMT IV? Europe loves you too

If you brought us Yakuza 5, it would make my millennium.
Honestly Citizens of Earth is probably more exciting than some of the Japanese games they could've potentially announced anyway. The people hyping themselves up for Yakuza are either complete lunatics or kidding around.
You heard it, folks! Yakuza 5 confirmed!

Isn't Yakuza 5's subtitle to do with broken dreams? Nope/Hope kind of fits that.
Yeah, I'm sick of generic garbage like Zeno Clash II, Rock of Ages, and Tex Murphy.
Please stop doing this bullshit, Atlus.

If this isn't Yakuza 5 and Ishin, I'm travelling to Japan and throwing hands at both Atlus and Sega.
It's Citizens of Earth -- go to about 22:40 on this video, same character:

Great, more generic western garbage!
This looks neat. Apparently, it's like Little King's Story fused together with Earthbound and that sounds fantastic.
Yeah, that cements this. Should be really interesting to see depending on how much Atlus can fund them, and I always found it kind of disappointing that the when western branches of known JRPG developers/publishers got western games they frequently WEREN'T RPGs. Of course the primary culprit there is Square Enix...
Yeah, I got the same vibe from it -- definitely interested in hearing more about it. I'm not disappointed that they're giving more developers opportunities. It's not like they're lacking in the localization department. Atlus has been going bonkers bringing stuff over.
Good job, sleuth. Adding to the OP.
Nice catch. I was bummed when these guys didn't reach their Kickstarter goal. Glad Atlus gave them a chance!
It's who we are, it's what we do.

It wouldn't be an Atlus announcement thread without it!
I pledged to that! Excited that it might be seeing the light of day after all.

Oh cool. Bring it to Vita and you have a sale.
Yakuza 5 or seppuku.
It's weird when Sega has explicitly underlined the importance of Atlus's independence?
Atlus is its own thing now doubt any of it will be absorbed into SEGA
Of course not, because THQ Canada didn't have a noteworthy legacy, a dedicated fandom, and a mountain of good will.

Would be a dumbass decision. Sega West is garbage and doesn't do anything but localize Sonic games. Atlus are good at what they do, no need to fuck everything up.
Why would they mess with a profitable and established company?

They saved citizens of earth? Awesome! I was so sad when the kickstarter didn't make enough money. +1 Wii U sale!
Atlus USA already have its own niche audience, and a strong brand name to boot. Why would SEGA fucked it up by merging it with their incompetent western branch? Building brand name, even on niche audience isn't easy.

Oh, shit, I remember this kickstarter. It didn't actually get funded iirc, so it's nice to see it still making a debut.

I remember this game's kickstarter from a while ago. I am pleased by this announcement, especially since I recall it being compared to Earthbound by sites like Joystiq.
