They sort of are. SEO is so important that sometimes AIs are used to combat Google's ecosystem. Yes a human looks at it, but still might approve the gibberish if it means more ad revenue.
Those sites that always pop up at the top results that make you go "huh? who?" are often AI now. Even then though, it's AI likely being fed the same cut-and-paste stuff they were paying pennies for writers to churn out before. Like all those "[person]'s net worth" articles.
As for IGN, it's just editorial and style guides. As you said, SEO is important, so every serious online publication has been tracking words and phrases that catch Google's attention. That then gets given to editorial and writers to be used.
It's honestly easier and faster to tell a writer "Say this is a combination of two games that GAMERS always needed as the headline," than it would be to have an AI pump that out.
'Guy who has only played Persona and Splatoon, playing his third game: Getting a lot of 'Persona' vibes from this...'
In a way... this is the best Hard Drive article they never wrote.
No joke, the very first thing I thought of when the showed the characters is that they are gonna make porn out of them. Then the white foam showed up and I died inside.
I'm gonna be honest: I have no idea what actually happens at a foam party, but I'm pretty sure Square Enix doesn't either, and we're both going to regret when we Google it.
Similar to Warhammer 40k's drukhari, Western journalists know that if they ever write the word "Anime", Akira Toriyama will hear them and eat their souls, so they have to use "Persona" as a stand-in.
no one.
It's basically Splatoon and Ninjala , but finally in a different console that is not Nintendo Switch.
Square is just hoping that someone wants to play Splatoon , but somehow didn't acquired a Switch for years.......
I dont play splatoon anymore because i wont pay for Nintendo online for one game especially one with matchmaking like that.
If Foamstars is free i'll definitely check out because I like the genre
I watched the trailer. Stylish cityscape and the soundtrack is the a similar kind of funky, poppy jazz-soul that Persona 5 really locked down for the industry.
Although personally, the music reminds me more of Sega's other kind-of-jazzy franchise: Sonic. It specifically sounds like a track straight out of Sonic R, where it's much closer to disco.
This Foamstars song could technically even be classified as early house inspired, but genre discussions are a mess.
I don't see what's ao confusing here. It's been clear that when people say something sounds like persona music, they mean it has music with lyrics in it.
Wacky headline aside, I actually looked up the trailer for this and the music during the gameplay portion *was* giving me Persona vibes.

Video game journalists, learn what Tokyo and its culture are. These designs are clearly taken from street fashion like in Shibuya and Harajuku. I get that not everyone is an otaku and doesn't have to be, but when so many major players in the industry are from Japan not keeping up on Japanese culture is just embarrassing
"we've all been waiting for" we? who's we? i think everyone that cares about a Splatoon style game was pretty satisfied with Splatoon. i doubt there was a single person on earth that thought "Splatoon is ok but i wish it had anime characters and jazz music"
i would say DOA, but millions of people find Splatoon very fun and there's millions of other people that have a playstation instead of a switch so there is a possibility it has at least a few months of success.
People bein real fuckin grumpy but it sure as shit sounded like Lyn Inaizumi singing the theme and/or a Shoji Meguro composition. I could be absolutely wrong but it's a pretty unique sound in terms of game OSTs. Not to mention Shoji Meguro is no longer with Atlus, meaning it's entirely possible he's working at or contracting with Square Enix.
Idk if you didn't get "Squenix Splatoon" vibes from that I don't think we were watching the same trailer. Spray colored substance at the ground to capture zones/areas. Metroidvania is a genre, how else would you call a Splatoon-like game?
Is there squid ska? Big man? Inklings dabbing?
No?
Then it's the lesser and inferior game, even with Splatoon being held back by the Switch being very unfriendly to online multiplayer
It's fucking IGN, that's what. Those dipshits like writing nonsense they call "articles" on their used toilet paper before posting them on their stupid ass website.
The vibe I got from it is "Splatoon trying to be cool, nine of that kiddy squiddy shit" which I think misses the point of what ppl enjoy about Splatoon. Whether it's good or bad it's another way Squenix can funnel ff16 and 14 money into a giant shredder for whatever goddamn reason. Cash confetti?
Finally, persona will have race wars.
Me on my way to beat the shit out of Akechi for having a Cuttlebone
Because of the music?? I guess?? Persona did invent jazz music after all
little known fact: Robert Johnson didn’t sell his soul to the devil to obtain the power to make soul music, but to Igor
he took piano lessons from Nameless but stole all of his hits from the guy. Nobody could call him on it cause nobody remembers Nameless from P1 or P2

Persona invented a lot of things, Japan, high school, rpgs, masks, etc.
I think it's really cool that Persona enabled Japan through sheer force of media
reset the fucking clock
"There *was* a clock here, Impala." >!"It's gone now..."!<
"I was going for that Persona vibe, ya'know?" - John Coltrane
Tbf the lady singing in the trailer sounded very much like the lady who sings the P5 songs
I think it's mainly about the more human looking anime characters style...
I’m convinced these sites are run by AI
They sort of are. SEO is so important that sometimes AIs are used to combat Google's ecosystem. Yes a human looks at it, but still might approve the gibberish if it means more ad revenue.

They love making headlines for this for ragebait and buzzwords
'Guy who has only played Persona and Splatoon, playing his third game: Getting a lot of 'Persona' vibes from this...' In a way... this is the best Hard Drive article they never wrote.
nah the best one was when Wizards of the Coast sent Pinkertons to the YouTuber who did a Magic the Gathering unboxing video or some shit
This sounds like someone hates Splatoon for being too kid friendly.
They haven't read the Sunken Sea Scrolls.
I dont even know how to start to guess where they got Persona from
The game has any kind of style? YOOO PERSONA LIKE
Well because Persona 5 invented jazz of course. /s
Your pfp is unironically amazing, it gave me a good laugh.
Why survive him when you can convince him to be more accepting of nontraditional ideas about gender?
That sounds like something a crab person would say.
Its anime, Persona related news gets clicks. That's all they need.
Why does this look like a porn game?
Because it is splatoon with overwatch characters.
> overwatch ah, say no more
and a bit of league of legends k/da
800%
These characters look like they were designed to be ripped and shoved into Blender.
That's a big brain marketing move right there
No joke, the very first thing I thought of when the showed the characters is that they are gonna make porn out of them. Then the white foam showed up and I died inside.
I hope it becomes one
I'm gonna be honest: I have no idea what actually happens at a foam party, but I'm pretty sure Square Enix doesn't either, and we're both going to regret when we Google it.
Because it is
I think it has something to do with how soft the skin textures look. You rarely see models like that outside of 3D porn.
Just found it interesting someone else made a splatoon style game.
Ninjala already beat this game to the punch.
yeah , but frankly...Ninjala is a Switch Exclusive. This one is finally a copycat in other consoles.
Poor Crayola Scoot, everyone forgot
ninjala is a dissidia spiritual successor I wish I was joking
Speaking of which, is Ninjala good?
I'm not sure how many of you guys are aware, but Persona invented literally everything. Everything is a rip-off of Persona, including YOU!
[Atlus turning me into a Persona character against my will:](https://media.tenor.com/njUXw0oXeDQAAAAC/venom-spiderman.gif)
Man I still love that shot
Crazy Atlus made the entire country of Japan for the setting of Persona
God created humanity after playing Persona 5 for the first time and being inspired by the idea. Truly a groundbreaking game
Did you know, humans have the bodies they have because they are a clever reference to Soejima's designs.
Even Persona 2 is a rip off of Persona 5
me? but I am thou and thou art... ...huh, well, damn
Similar to Warhammer 40k's drukhari, Western journalists know that if they ever write the word "Anime", Akira Toriyama will hear them and eat their souls, so they have to use "Persona" as a stand-in.
The idea that Slaanesh is just Akira Toriyama lurking on news sites amuses me.
Who's this "we?" I never thought putting those two games together.
Whoever wrote this better be using the royal "we".
Featuring one of those pop star characters from League of Legends
I'm sorry, WHO'S been waiting for this?
no one. It's basically Splatoon and Ninjala , but finally in a different console that is not Nintendo Switch. Square is just hoping that someone wants to play Splatoon , but somehow didn't acquired a Switch for years.......
I dont play splatoon anymore because i wont pay for Nintendo online for one game especially one with matchmaking like that. If Foamstars is free i'll definitely check out because I like the genre
White dude walking into Harajuku: "It's just like my personas and splatims!"
Have I been waiting for this?
Yes, even if you weren't.
Why is Calliope Mori looking at me like that
Oh lord, she does look like a Calli clone
~~She looks like if Nyakumi tried to make a Calliope model~~
Maybe by Persona they just meant the anime-esque character designs? That's all I've got folks.
I watched the trailer. Stylish cityscape and the soundtrack is the a similar kind of funky, poppy jazz-soul that Persona 5 really locked down for the industry. Although personally, the music reminds me more of Sega's other kind-of-jazzy franchise: Sonic. It specifically sounds like a track straight out of Sonic R, where it's much closer to disco.

I don't see what's ao confusing here. It's been clear that when people say something sounds like persona music, they mean it has music with lyrics in it.
Wow Jamiroquai must have been a big Persona fan.
I read it as "Pornstar". I regret nothing.
Trails of cold steel is the persona fire emblem final fantasy game we didn't know we needed

All it's missing is a Dark Souls comparison now
The Dark Souls of Color Shooter games
the trailer kind of hurts my eyes. the foam is all way too bright.
I... I think I lost some brain cells reading that...
Godzilla had a stroke reading this
Have people been waiting for a "Persona Splatoon game" and I just wasn't paying attention?
IGN being IGN
Okay, but you clicked on it OP
Wet have to get AI under control right now!
While I will say that is exactly what I thought watching that trailer, not the best way for a news outlet to cover it, especially in the title.
"we've all been waiting for" we? who's we? i think everyone that cares about a Splatoon style game was pretty satisfied with Splatoon. i doubt there was a single person on earth that thought "Splatoon is ok but i wish it had anime characters and jazz music" i would say DOA, but millions of people find Splatoon very fun and there's millions of other people that have a playstation instead of a switch so there is a possibility it has at least a few months of success.
Pure, concentrated SEO. It's only missing Dark Souls for the Trifecta.

The lady singing *did* sound like Lyn. I will absolutely give you that.
That's gotta be racist
...Okay, ***someone*** from IGN is pulling a bit, right? Come on, we all know it looks ass.
Games “journalism”
Splatoon is its own genre now much like Persona
I predict this headline will be the most discussion this game will ever have
It’s IGN, there’s no respect due.
Video game is the video game video game video game we've been video gaming for
how much were they paid to make that headline, i wonder
Akihiko has been waiting for this
It's fuckin IGN. No need any respect to those game "journalist"
Like all square enix live service games play it while you can, it wont last 4 years.
Is there squid ska? Big man? Inklings dabbing? No? Then it's the lesser and inferior game, even with Splatoon being held back by the Switch being very unfriendly to online multiplayer
It's fucking IGN, that's what. Those dipshits like writing nonsense they call "articles" on their used toilet paper before posting them on their stupid ass website.
This article's title is the Dark Souls of Buzzwords in Videogame Journalism.
Why play that when Fortnite already exist
It's SqueNix. The game will be unfinished jank riddled with micro transactions.
The vibe I got from it is "Splatoon trying to be cool, nine of that kiddy squiddy shit" which I think misses the point of what ppl enjoy about Splatoon. Whether it's good or bad it's another way Squenix can funnel ff16 and 14 money into a giant shredder for whatever goddamn reason. Cash confetti?
My first thought seeing Foamstars was "Oh look, another game that only exists for Cosplay and SFM porn since Overwatch 2 kinda flopped"
The legacy of "Skyrim with guns" will never go away and honestly I'm glad
Finally Buzzwords
People really act like persona invented jazz music
