== About ==

Atlus was under media blitz for "localization problems" that are, by admittance of the critics themselves 'only a few lines per character.' Apparently though, this makes it the worst thing in the history of game translations, please ignore the steaming heap of garbage that is called modern Fire Emblem, nothing to see, please disperse. So, we, as fans of the Persona series, and I mean this, ACTUAL FANS OF THE PERSONA SERIES, need to let Atlus know we're not only cool with how the game turned out, but that the localization doesn't have the "widespread" problems the journos are saying it does.

Load up the old email cannons, we need to fire them up again. Email Atlus, show them your copy of the game (by uploading a picture of your save, where you are in the game, or your physical copy with a receipt to an image hosting site), and tell them just how much you've been enjoying Persona 5. If you still have a Twatter account that is cancer-free, shoot them a tweet with your copy of the game saying thanks and how much you appreciate them/enjoy Persona.

For bonus points, and maximum effectiveness, feel free to drop an archive link to one of the articles (or that autistic 'Persona Problems' site) and reference it specifically. We need to let them know that as gamers, Persona 5 is going in the direction we want. We can't let these cronyist bastards in the clique be the voice that pushes for more bullshit localization so their friends can get hired. I had originally said to reference FE in your messages and say it was the OPPOSITE of what we wanted, but I'm not sure it's the best to slam a game unrelated to Atlus' productions in an email praising Altus.

If anyone can dig a bit and find a direct email address for a PR or Customer Service rep, that would be good too

== Guidelines ==

ROUGH guideline for how to structure an email. DO NOT COPY THIS DIRECTLY, otherwise it'll look like sent by bot, and a few eyebrows will get raised. Remember to personalize your messages a bit, PR people LOVE knowing they're getting honest feedback from a consumer.

>I am sending this message as a fan of the Persona series.
>(Here, you can talk about when you became a fan and why you became a fan)
>I am currently enjoying my playthrough of Persona 5, however I've been online recently and noticed some unwarranted critiques of the game's localization.
>(You can archive link to a specific article here, if you want)
>As a fan of the series, I'm writing to let you know that the 'popular' critique going around amongst game journalists, is not only simply their opinion, but it couldn't be further from the truth.
>(Go on to praise the writing, the translation, and simply just keep talking about why you like the game.)
>(Give them a thank you here, tell them to keep doing what they're doing, and thank them again once more for their time)
>If you can, include a link to your image of your copy of the game, either at the end or near the beginning

== Participation ==
