Looks like P3R won't include the Fem MC's stuff. Wonder if they'll release it as DLC later down the line.

I'm honestly more excited for Atlus' new ip than any of the persona cash-ins they're making right now. Persona 3 may be my favorite but after watching the trailer it looks like the remake is just going to undercut the original somber themes that were conveyed semi-competently in FES. On the other hand if this means I can melt my brain to 800 hours of an official burn my bread remix then Atlus can continue on with my blessing.

The new Atlus IP honestly has a bit more promise because there's a handful of Atlus veterans working on it. I hope the gameplay is good. I know a lot of my friends are excited that Meguro is doing an OST similar to SMT: Strange Journey again.

I've been playing too much TOTK. Every time I see a stone well, I think about jumping down to see what's in it, for a second, before I remember that I'm not playing the game.

CyYu voice actor/vtuber is voicing Akihiko in P3:Reload

The Xbox Games Showcase Extended should be starting in ~1 hour.
From the stream description:
Like last year, we’re bringing you our follow-up stream, Xbox Games Showcase Extended airing June 13 at 10am PT, with in-depth interviews focused on the news from our Xbox Games Showcase as well as game updates from our partners.
It's likely going to be more dev interviews and potentially more gameplay shown. Supposedly there might be games that weren't featured in the main showcase. I'm likely just going to have it on in the background as opposed to actively watching it.

Im pretty sure most of the OG is unionized now and Aigis/Junpei's VAs were unpersoned a long time ago by the raging twitter fags that is now the modern Persona fanbase


Persona 5 was a mistake

like its fanbase yes
Wasn't Persona 4 the one that got really picked up by the Tumblr/Twitter crowd, and Persona 5 was just the extension of that? I seem to recall the Persona 4 anime being the infection vector. Same for the Persona 5 anime. Really harkens back to this meme.

It's the opposite now because 4 gives a roughly accurate depiction of rural social values pre 2010. The only time 4 really gets brought up by tumblr/twitter types it's to seethe about how Kanji's definitely gay, Naoto's definitely trans, and everyone else is some combination of sexist and/or homophobic. 4 had some appeal to them early because of things like Yu/Yosuke shipping but really it's too old to be on most of their radars. 5 is where the cancer really takes off, especially with Akechi/Joker post Royal.
It's gotten a lot more popular reception outside of that now though thanks to the anime's ongoing popularity vs 5's adaptation and, of all things, Joseph Anderson's playthrough. Lots of corpo tubers seem to be picking it up lately too, probably due to Atlus' lack of streaming restrictions on it compared to 5.

On the topic of Persona, I've been waiting for Metaphor: ReFantazio for years, and am looking forward to it being played by my favorite VTubers (and some not-so-favorite, when it comes to longform JRPGs, I'm desperate for chuubas that actually play the ones I like)

However, if it attracts the same physically and mentally underaged fanbase, that might be the thing that actually does me in

Yeah, Persona 3 was popular with gamefaqs and anime forum dweebs and 4 was picked up by soft-edgy types because of its comedy/slice of life contrasted by grisly murder shit

But modern zoomerisms and pseudo intellectuals latched on to 5 hard, the death of tumblr lead to twitter and tiktok fags to lead the charge in its tween fandom, and the combined cancer of those forums metastizied hard

I tried watching the Xbox presentation but I was getting... sound alerts... like for blind people?!?! I tried seeing if I could turn them off but I couldn't. It is only that stream too. Is it baked in!??!?! FOR BLIND PEOPLE?!?

Also I might have just caused Azehara to deal with some shit but at least he is out there calling out fatasses like ye old Stunning and Brave Mutahar

Honestly speaking here, I only got into Mainline SMT because of Joker from Persona 5 being added to Smash Ultimate.
P5 was still a mistake though. A fuckton of the spinoff games could've been SMT games (like fucking P5T).

I hate how much call center moistcritakel been in recent years. His deep web, copypasta, and mii channel videos were comfy as fuck. Now, he just does shitty clickbait videos where he repeats the same things over again and often time fence sits at the end. Things he used to shit on back in the day.

As for Metaphor: ReFantazio, it is essentially the culmination of what the Persona team have learned from 3/4/5, beginning production after the initial Japanese release of Persona 5 (estimated). Looking at concept artwork from its working title, "Project Re:Fantasy", it is clear that it changed dramatically through development.

The concept artwork that the game was to be based around, circa 2016:

refantasy full.jpg

And now the latest concept artwork based on the final product:

metaphor artwork.jpg

And the re-announcement trailer, as of a few days ago, with release year 2024:



We may have been robbed on a Japanese take of traditional Western/European Fantasy, but I still trust the game down to my bones because of the team's pedigree. That, and please look forward to the VTuber knockoffs in 2024/2025 of red-headed elf poster-girl, Hulkenberg:
