This isn't a big surprise but still nice to get a confirmation about:


It's always fun to get live performances and remixes in Persona concerts and this one is globally streamed.

(If there are any big announcements for future entries, they'll probably announce them here, too)

I remember back in 2019 there was a Persona concert and a few of us were adamant that Joker wouldn’t release until after this concert.
A week before and here comes the shadowdrop!

I can't make a Nintendo E3 BINGO card this year but I have a hunch that there will be a Nintendo Direct in June so I plan to work on that.

Besides the concert, i cant remember the last time a company fumbled the ball so hard with an anniversary event involving a beloved franchise like Atlus has with Persona

Persona tinfoil hat theory time

The name for this year's concert is "Crossing Journey" and the key art gives some travel-y vibes. Now, I may be reaching but when Persona 5 was first conceptualized, they wanted to make it a world adventure with a road trip kinda structure, having themes such as "self-discovery" and "journey."

Considering how Persona games sometimes recycle unused concepts and this concert being the perfect time to announce Persona 6, it's not impossible to have the next entry feature this expedition theme.

Yuji Naka was apparently kicked off of Balan Wonderworld 6 months before launch


There are a few translations and it seems he tried to take Square and Arzest to court

Square enix moment

Eh, I think fans simply have too high expectations from this anniversary.

It's stretched to a whole year, it's unreasonable to expect a new port or game to be announced every other month, especially with P Studio being a modest-sized development team. And even if they do have some big announcements, it doesn't make much sense to just drop them on their social media channels.

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Fallen race:

1651157030473.png


“I AM FALLEN BOTIS. SO, THOU ART MY MASTER THIS TIME. ...I SHALL DO THY BIDDING.”

Alignment: Dark-Chaos

Origin: Ars Goetia. Botis is the 17th spirit of Hell. He is a great President and an Earl who governs 60 legions of spirits. He first appears in the form of an ugly viper but at the command of his summoner, he can assume the form of a man with great teeth and two horns, carrying a sharp bright sword in his hand. He tells of all things past and to come and can reconcile with friends and foes. He is a direct subordinate of the demon Agaliarept.

Skills: Tarukaja, Heat Wave, Mazionga, Mist Rush

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Dragon race.

Botis is one of the few instances a Goetia demon closely follows his visual description but also does something completely unique with it. As bizarre as it is, I loved how a half-snake man gets around in a wheelie cage. The weird bondage-y straps also fit the rest of his edginess quite nicely and overall he has a great design for a demon that actually doesn’t have many memorable traits.

I do want to highlight this:

If you're making comments that are enough to ruin the relationship with your development partners then you need to shoulder a fair amount of the blame, and that's even before we get to Naka's reputation for being an egotistical asshole which further points to this.

Balan as a whole seems like a product of Square Enix doing a crappy job as usual and Naka being an ass to the devs.

Okay yeah that is pretty damning

I remember hearing that Naka was kind of a **** but I didn't remember the details

I had the Sonic the hedgehog cereal and let me tell you the honey rings really tasted like I was eating real gold covered in sugar and the marshmallows were the best part
I've had much worse 6/10

Listened to a podcast talking about the rumors and speculations surrounding the Mario movie and one rumor about additional castings raises an eyebrow

Here's the thing if you want to listen to it:
