So I'll think about something and go "that's only 6 months away, that's not so bad" and then I'm like "wait, 6 months ago is when I went into lockdown, which was like 97 years ago..." It's nuts now to think that I've been back out of lockdown longer than I was in it though. I was in for 2.5 months and have been out now for 3.5.

Of course they leave the more hype stuff towards the end (basically shows him in the process of lowkey Kratos-ing heaven). Not sure if I'll really like the gameplay (whenever and if it comes out... especially here), but something to look forward to. I came across the following video that helps explain the trailer for most non-Chinese people. It even helped me since I don't understand Mandarin or read Chinese. And if you guys want, you can watch the 1980's TV adaption with English subs on Youtube. All official and everything. It just has some spotty but adequate subs. Now if only I can find the Cantonese version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 That looks cool. Hopefully it will be divorced enough from the first one that new players won't be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 As far as I can tell, this still hasn't been officially confirmed yet but the trailer somehow got out last night. Persona 5 Strikers day 1 on PC in the West! Hopefully that means Royal isn't too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Word on the street is they're actually going ahead with Royal, which is mildly shocking to me but I'm not complaining. Then again, P4G did generate like 20 millions a decade after release so I'm sure that sent a message. They could probably get away with charging 50$ or so for Royal, if not straight up full price, so it makes sense they'd wanna strike while the iron is still hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 From the creator of Dead Space, The Callisto Protocol, looks fucking awesome, but I'm trying to contain my hype until gameplay is revealed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Heart Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hadn't heard of this before, but it seems it's been shown before. This isn't a trailer but it looks cool as heck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Is that the one where they had to change up the enemy design a bit because it was a touch on the... colonial... side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Only thing I'm interested in (from what I can tell) but even then I'm being cautiously optimistic. Octopath Traveler was a fine game but wasn't really pushed by the characters or story since they really didn't intersect in any meaningful way. Another game you can compare this to is Fire Emblem Three Houses which to me has fantastic game play but the story(ies) left me scratching my head at the end. Some great characters and story beats but it didn't stick the landing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like Octopath wasn't anything special but this aesthetic is really appealing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 @MetalCaveman By all means correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the first game the only good one? At least I think that's what I remember hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I think that's what I remember hearing. 1/Black was the best. 2 was much more simple and not as good but still pretty fun IMO, 3 was a MESS slightly fixed with the Razor's Edge version. The Sigma versions were all over the place, with the Sigma+ versions, made for the Vita being improvements over the base Sigma stuff. iirc Sigma removed the blood and gore, a bunch of cutscenes and some puzzles but added playable Rachel, which some people didn't like, but I thought it was OK, the + version added back the blood and gore, but the rest remained mostly the same. So yeah, in a way, the only good GOOD one is 1/Black, 2 isn't bad and 3 is just kinda nice to have. UNLESS they're going off of the base Sigma versions... That could be an issue...

Octopath is gorgeous, and I actually really liked the demo, but in the full game the way you collected characters, with each quest feeling like the first act of its own game, really dragged after about the third one. Other than that I really liked it, and I really really dig tactical RPGs, so hopefully this will be more up my alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'm a sucker for any art style that reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics. If this game is even half as good as that one I'm sure I'll pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
