Well most of the video material i saw didn't had any mentioning and some stuff did change uppon release.Seems like i was wrong and the marketing of the other platforms is just weird/barebones. Definitely not the case for most releases.

If Xbox is paying for marketing, it's reasonable to believe the Youtube video you posted is just the (possibly longer) version of the video they made to show for commercials and stuff, I saw one last week. I don't know how these deals work, but if Xbox has a marketing deal it might not really be appropriate for the other platforms to be in the launch trailer.

It's not like marketing deals are anything new or that Sony hasn't done them either, or worse with exclusivity deals.

Just a example but I think every marketing deal is different so who knows

I've actually found an example where Sony's marketing tactics were even more questionable than what Microsoft has done with the Sega games. For instance, Microsoft couldn't even get a proper trailer for Destiny 1 – they had to resort to that strange "perfume" promotion a few years ago. So, while both companies have their issues with marketing, I wasn't aware of the situation with Destiny because I didn't care much about it at the time. However, I do care about Atlus, even though the situation isn't as bad as I originally thought, and definitely not as bad as with Destiny. Still, I can't stand these weird marketing strategies. Both suck tho.

starting this game now, yea definitely passes the fantasy vibe check, really interested in the world in the first 10minutes

I hope this game sells as much as possible so that Atlus isn’t afraid anymore to make videogames that don’t take place in a school.

They kinda already done that with Catherine.

There was a long period of time between Catherine and this game. I want those periods to shorten.

Really wish the Catherine 'twilight zone' line of stories took off and we got more of them.

I don't mind school settings, but it's true that we used to get much more than that on the SMT series.

Here's hoping SMT VI returns to a cyberpunk setting.

there was really no reason for SMT V to have a school background at all for the characters
