  • trauma center is great and something i need to play more than one game of

    maken x is a pretty interesting first person slasher kinda thing

    catherine is of course very popular for good reason

    i’ve had stella deus on my list for a while. kinda expect it to be mediocre but it’s got my boy soejima so i’ll get to it eventually

    also really wanna play despiria, which i hope gets translated sooner than later because it looks really fucking cool


  • my take on the whole “it’s just persona again!?” sentiment is that hashino only left p-studio to be out of persona jail. ie being free from making games about teenagers in high school with themes of jungian psychology. i don’t think it’s surprising that he wants to create another jrpg with social sim elements. it’s not like dds is all that wildly different from nocturne despite them being two different series. at least re:fantasy has its own character and enemy designs across the board. its battle system also looks plenty different, what with the ‘press turn’ costs attached to skills and the job system.

    this would be like if the mario odyssey director formed his own subsidiary studio and then created a mario-esque 3d platformer under it. it’s a ploy to dodge the mandated series branding. for that reason alone i’m expecting something more interesting than the recent megaten output.
