do you think these two would be friends?
P2Vereinbart
On the left… Hitler. On the right… Charlie Chaplin!
Nah, idk if he’d be friends with his killer
Arguably the funniest case of localization to ever exist in any videogame ever
How on earth did this even succeed, I’ve no idea
wasn't even localization, this change was done in the japanese psp version
Until P5X came and gave mara a hat
You'd think they'd just remove the mustache, since that's the most recognizable feature. But I guess a glasses disguise works?
It’s the superman effect.
Doing something so outrageous, everyone is too busy being shocked to stop you.
Hitler and the cool hitler
Its Johnny Hitler!
Hitler and hitler wearing cool glasses. Calling hitler cool in any way seems wrong
I mean, it was pretty cool how he killed Hitler.
It's a meme, killjoy.
I just don't want to call a war criminal cool while there is an actual war going on in my country, but you're free to downvote me
Sorry that people are responding this way. I agree with you. I also understand the desire to make jokes, but bantering about someone as abhorrent as this can be treacherous ground.
Hitler and an Austrian painter
Nah, the guy on the right seems like a chill art school student.
No, I think they'd shoot each other.
Daniel - Cooler Daniel
Hitler and Cooler. I think cooler is too cool for hitler.
No the one on the right would kill the one on the left and take over his position.
I think one would shoot the other
I've never seen Hitler smile before.
Nah, they'd kill eachother more like.
Funfact: After becoming a painter, he finally had enough money to buy sunglasses.
Who is this Hitler guy y’all keep mentioning this guy is clearly Fuhrer and Fuhrer but cooler
Nah it adolf hitler
The more I learn about this guy the less I care for him
...Persona 2 (Innocent Sin specifically) was last acknowledged with P3 reload, which has a whole Social Link about it
Before that, P2 made regular cameos as DLC costumes; in short, they acknowledge that game plenty, at least no less than P1, which doesn't really have anything nearly as controversial (if we don't consider the awful localization, which we shouldn't, given it's the original that was ported to PSP)
No that I agree with the above but do note that hermit only references P2 in English, the original Japanese doesn’t reference persona 2 at all
Seriously? That's quite the bizarre difference
It's pretty relevant to the whole thing... How is Maya named?
"In the original Japanese version of the game, Ms. Toriumi played Devil Busters Online, which was a reference to Megami Tensei II. The main characters are called Devil Busters and Toriumi used the handle Y-Ko (Y子), which was a reference to Yumiko Shirasagi, while the protagonist uses the handle N-Jima, which was a reference to Akemi Nakajima; Yumiko and Nakajima were the heroine and hero of Megami Tensei, respectively."
That's an interesting bit of media
Kinda cool, so they decided to shift the reference to P2 hoping it would be better understood abroad?
I still think it counts towards my point, it's still a reference made by Atlus, but it's good to know it was made for localization purposes
i believe it was because both Megami Tensei games didn't get localized for North America and Europe back then. while Persona 2 Eternal Punishment for PS1 did get localized.
Oooh, that makes sense, I'm not too familiar with the order in which the games were localized
Wasn't P1 the first SMT game to get released in America?
Nah, that honor goes to the greatest game ever made: JACK BROS!!!
The fact that's true is pretty hilarious
They had their priorities straight
it’s so crazy how things can be different. Like we could talk with Japanese players and have completely different experiences !! I like this but still it’s funny
Idk if you know this, but generally no one has a problem with Hitler being portrayed as a bad guy. You guys love to make shit up to feel persecuted over, and it being literally Hitler in this case is ironic for reasons I’m sure you couldn’t grasp.
Why are you making shit up about "us guys" wanting to feel persecuted over.
u dont fantasize about killing hitler?
Calling people snowflakes because you’re upset about downvotes is ironic
Its the most hillarious part of these people. Crying on the internet over people being mean to them, insisting that everyone else is the snowflake.
Calling snowflakes being snowflakes is not.
Yeah it’s believed that’s why the game didn’t get ported to America for years after release
No. The one on the right is way too cool to be friends with the melvin on the left
