A lot of JRPG's with weird punctuation and seemingly ly Neverending titles or made-up words.

  • Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Re:Chain of Memories and Dream Drop Distance and χ Back Cover and 0.2 Birth by Sleep and Re Mind and -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX- and HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
  • Legend of Fantasy: Monstrum Refantazio
  • Death end re;Quest
  • Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation
  • UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late and II Sys:Celes
  • Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army
  • .hack//G.U. Last Recode
  • void* tRrLM2(); //Void Terrarium 2
  • Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator and lots of other Atelier games
  • Divine Divinity
  • Infinite Undiscovery
  • Various Daylife
  • Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
  • Mon-Yu: Defeat Monsters And Gain Strong Weapons And Armor. You May Be Defeated, But Don’t Give Up. Become Stronger. I Believe There Will Be A Day When The Heroes Defeat The Devil King.

Agree with most of these but

Revengeance is perfect

I don't believe any of these titles are real.

The MegaTen games have some weird ones, yeah. Like Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, then the sequel to that came out and it was just Soul Hackers 2. Same with how Persona 1 was Megami Ibunroku Persona and then became Shin Megami Tensei: Persona. Oh and how theres two Persona 2s, Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment. Great games but man, really should have been like Persona 2 Part 1 and Part 2.

BlazBlue: Chronophantasma Extend

Not to defend the game itself but Neptunia is at least on some level a parody of other JRPGs, so the title is meant invoke that cringe. The first one was still called Hyperdimension Neptunia and the "resemicolonbirth" line was a remake which has its own remake now as well with a star in the title...

So, like I said, not defending it.

.hack and Void Terrariums names both make sense within the context of their game.
