Seems like an appropriate thing to ask a Canadian video game internet celebrity

Though the best question to ask a Canadian video game internet celebrity is, of course, "what's up with Canada having slightly different cereal?"

Did Ferguson Jenkins do something lately? He's known for being the first Canadian to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, it can't be that you're talking about something that isn't Canada related here.

Did Jason Zimbler call a press conference or something? I doubt he still goes by Ferguson since Clarissa Explains It All ended, but he's the only one I can think of.

Pat not even trying to act was the funniest part of that to me, first time Liam walks out he reacts like he does when Woolie fucks up in Dark Souls. Also, Woolie killed that guy in self-defense, he was obviously commiting a fashion crime.

As far as I know, he said he hates Etrian Odyssey multiple times because he tried one of the games once, and didn't like it.

Hopefully he'll enjoy talking a whole bunch about Etrian Odyssey next episode, since not only is Persona Q out, they announced two new Etrian Odyssey games, in addition to the one that comes out in a few days in Japan.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Everything I read about Persona Q is that it's really superficial in Persona 3+4 because both squads are before their big personal developments (about halfway through their respective games). Like, even the Arena games have character development.

Etrian odyssey games aren't about character development

Being not canon would let them actually do whatever they want instead of some dumb restriction that both games can only be halfway done when they meet, and they can't develop further. They took the concept of frozen in time and space too far to really be worth it from the Persona standpoint.

It's canon and it being canon is why they can't insert some rando development in the middle of it, also it involves 2 games with entirely different themes and concepts behind their story, with the teams representing different things and generally requiring two different writing staffs if you want them to be mashed together.

Also it's a fuckin dungeon crawl game what did you expect?

Except the investigation team is entirely made up of good characters.

Those P3 schmucks are pretty awful generally but Arena does some alright (stupid) stuff with them like Akhiko and Chie throwing down over a beef bowl.

Rise and Yukiko both suck, Teddie stops being funny when he is always with the group, and Naoto is an exposition fairy. There are like three good characters in the Investigation Team and it took Arena to make Yosuke into a good one. The P3 cast has about as many good characters as well, but unfortunately one of them gets killed like a month after he joins the team.

Strange Journey was just an old as hell Megaten game. It wasn't literally Etrain Odyssey.
