Q2's main focus on the marketing was the P5 characters, so I count it. If you're just going to count games where only the main cast from a certain game shows up, then P4 only got one spinoff, because it shares the spotlight with P3's cast in both Arena games and the first Q. It's also silly to discount Royal when Royal came out over 3 years later, required you to rebuy the game, and was essentially treated as a new game release like Golden was.
If you want to just make arbitrary rules about why things don't count, then none of these games were milked. But if you look at the actual amount of stuff without arbitrary rules it was milked pretty well, and that's not mentioning the host of other ways it was promoted that didn't include spin-offs that's been mentioned
When I said Royal, I was referring to it just being recently ported to
all platforms, same as P4G and P3P, so not just the Royal upgrade itself. So to me, that's not exclusively P5 getting milked.
P3-5 all had rereleases, so I can't say Royal is an example of it being milked when it's sort of standard for the series from P3 onwards if that makes sense.
If we are to include every single game, then P4G is still the game that got milked the most.
If we're just talking about games and their quality, PQ2 got so little sales since it released right when the 3DS was dying, and P5D sold disastrously.
Strikers is the only game that actually holds any weight.
If I look at it that way, I honestly cannot see how P5 had actual good video game content aside from 1 measly spin off, which is pretty poor considering how huge P5 is for Atlus.
P4G had a great dancing game with a lot of tracks, it had 2 fighting games, and got featured in 2 Q games.
Cross overs, to me, especially mobile gacha ones, aren't full fledged video game titles, so of course I'm not counting those, but a lot of people are for some reason, even if it's something they only hear about in passing and probably don't even play.
In short, Strikers being the only P5 spin off that holds any weight is pretty weak for a title that helped skyrocket the Persona series and is Atlus best selling game, which is why I cannot see P5 being milked at all.
P5 just traded Arena for Strikers (an upgrade imo).
I definitely agree with you there.
