You gotta hand it to these marketing teams sometimes. Not in the sense that the Persona 4 Revival team did anything overly special with its reveal, but rather that they were just so doggedly determined to hold the official announcement until Xbox’s Summer Games Show showcase.

Metaphor ReFantazio – Journey’s End
Well, it took about a month, but I’ve finally reached the end of Metaphor ReFantazio.

Metaphor ReFantazio’s Supporter Stories Surprised Me
Having played a few Atlus games by now, I figured that things in Metaphor ReFantazio would more or less play out the same as they did in its predecessors.

Metaphor ReFantazio – It’s Darn Good So Far!

Even though I’ve had some time to reflect on my time with Persona 5 Royal, I remain unsure how to best summarize my experience with the game. When I think about how it went, my brain stalls like a flooded car, because there are just too many things that I want to say and too…
Persona 5 Royal: The Longest Goodbye
Masayoshi Shido – the sureshot next prime minister and the Phantom Thieves’ final target. Or, maybe not? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, because Shido was squarely in the thieves’ sights. Last time I grumbled a little about not having the best of times in two previous palaces, those of Okumura (the spaceport) and…
Persona 5 Royal: Greed, Jealousy, and Betrayal!
“Who is the Beauty Thief??” That was the question on everyone’s mind as the embarked on their quest to steal the treasure of terrible CEO Kunikazu Okumura of Okumura Foods. While first exploring his futuristic palace run by his robotic “employees,” the gang encountered this Beauty Thief, along with their former companion, Morgana, who had…
Persona 5 Royal: The Recluse and the “Rogue”
After a whirlwind of taking down some terrible people and their wild palaces, Shijun Academy student Kai Yasuda and his band of Phantom Thieves deserved a break. With the promise of summer vacation, they were rightfully eager for some fun and relaxation. Their break did not get off to the best start with the cancelation…
