Unlikely, but a Meat Dimension reference slipped-into the game's translation would be hysterical.

Never.

They already made a reference to a Meat Dimension in P4. "

Atlus had the ER linked somewhere, I can't remember if it was on there website or not, so yes they did know about it and like it. "

It was linked on both their website as well as in e-mail newsletters that Atlus sent out.  I would think that Atlus would put a little nod to what seems to have been the reason they sold twice as many copies of the game in the U.S. as they had expected. "

" An Atlus employee also told Ryan during an interview for Persona for PSP that they knew about the ER. He also jokingly said that they won't be taking any legal action. "

Makes me wonder why, though...  I mean, they have the whole damn game available for people to watch on an official video game website, and the ER started only a couple of months after the release of the game.  It could be said that it increased the sales but, come on.  I doubt it increased the sales any more than a very positive review does from a single website: not a lot.  I wonder if they could pull that sort of thing off again with Persona 5 and if Atlus USA would just turn a blind eye to it again.

I don't know about that. I've seen so much people all over the Internet saying they bought P4 because of the ER. A lot of people on this site never heard about SMT and a lot were introduced through P4. I'd reckon the Endurance Run sold Atlus approximately...... a 1000 copies give or take.
 
Besides atlus has always been cool about this stuff: They knew about the Innocent sin Translation and didn't stopit.

" They could just name a secondary character Charlie Tunoku. "

Doubt it.

" They could just name a secondary character Charlie Tunoku. "

I don't think Charlie is a popular Japanese name. "

I hope there isn't.

" @FluxWaveZ: I'm not quite sure who you are talking about, Giant Bomb or Atlus? I was referring to the Atlus employee in the highlighted sentence. Have you by any chance seen the video yet? "

" I hope there isn't. "

" Not in the japanese version, but people think about Atlus' localization. They're prone to putting in little jokes and shit, so why not. "

I doubt it nothing to with dating sims as 3 and 4 did.  Unless you only found out about Persona until 3. In that case you being an SMT fan would've only happened until PS2 because Persona was the flagship SMT series in North America (unless you're European or something). :D "

, the first two

What if Jeff and Vinny replaced the equivalent of Kou and Daisuke, who would you choose?

Battle Tutorial:
 
Someone says "Cast Bufu!" on an ice resistant shadow.
 
Then the person giving the tutorial says "Silly ___, that wouldn't do as much damage as another element attack because that shadow is resistant to ice attack moves."

It might be feasible to have a random character called Charlie Tunoku. But it would only be in the English language versions. I doubt the developers know much about the Endurance Run. They might know of it's existence, but that'll be about it. Atlus USA probably know a lot about it though, so they could probably add in a nod to the ER in the localization process.

" No, their primary audience is in Japan, and as I know, there isn't a Japanese version of this site, so the reference would fly over a majority of the audience. "

Rainy day energy drink challenge.

Lets say it's in there so they have to do another endurance run.

" No, their primary audience is in Japan, and as I know, there isn't a Japanese version of this site, so the reference would fly over a majority of the audience. " 

Chie Gerstmann is actually an announced character in Persona 5, if you guys wanted to know. 

They should just throw Brad's photobomb in there in the background of a scene.

   *facepalm*Uh....no, Atlus USA doesn't translate the game in English for Japan. "

Probably not but it would be awesome as hell

Nah, doubt it. It's already been done for a year and it would make no sense to anyone outside of GB.

Would I like there to be a Giant Bomb reference in Persona 5? Yes, even if it's a small one hidden somewhere. Do I think there will be one? Not at all.

I think there'll end up being some minor reference to it - but nothing huge. I doubt it'd be character models, but a simple text exchange or something like "You saw two guys sitting on a couch playing video games" when you check out the TV or something. I'm more curious as to whether or not a lot of the jokes in P4 English were intended like that in the Japanese version or if Atlus USA had to change it up a bit to fit the audience. I have this feeling that the Luchador Mask dream was never originally intended...

Who said anything about Atlus USA or the English language? At the time of Tuggah's post, no one. There were references to Atlus USA, but they were referred to as "Atlus", so how would Tuggah have known? The first mention of localization came after Tuggah's post. "

I don't know why I'm posting in this super month-old post, but I'd say there's an okay chance that there's an Endurance Run reference in the English localization of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 5. 
 
I'm sure the Twilight reference and stuff like "Epic Fail" weren't in the Japanese version of Persona 4. If I run into an NPC named "Charlie Tunoku" in Persona 5, I will be quite pleased.

" As highly unlikely to nearly impossible as it may be....  I would giggle like a school girl for weeks on end. 

Just if there's a nightclub with a couch and two dudes on it, name them Jeff and Vinny. That's all they have to do, and I will cry tears of joy.

A ploddingly written romantic novel about a girl in her first day of school in her now town; vampires are involved. The content of this book was almost physically painful for you to read.

Uh... what was the Twilight reference in Persona 4? Did I miss that? "

They might refrence the ER by naming a character who joins your party Charlie Tunoku

Jeff and Vinny will be in an alley, getting some "leaves" from their friend, The Fox.
