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

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.

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

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.
