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.

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.
