There are current gen and PC ports of the original game though, and the third game is supposed to be alright despite being on the PSP and has a tl-patch. Second's supposed to be pretty bad and grindy.

Is Mother 1 a thing that exists / is worth playing?

It's a game where the fan-translators hacked in an item to scale the difficulty way back.

Unless you wanted to go full NES I dunno what would've constituted a mechanical throwback back then. I'm not a big FF guy beyond really liking V as a kid but aren't IV-IX all ATB games with different customization systems?

i've seen several otherwise benign series have something gross in the first episode so maybe it's just "this is the only way we can hook a loving idiot otaku into our not-for-idiots show" but i assume it generally doesn't work because the stuff that gets multiple seasons are the specifically-for-otaku shows

Unless you're watching kids' shows or films it's that all the way down.

It's an adaptation of an even-skeevier comic by a studio that's currently trying to break out of that late-night scene.

Lol well that explains some of it at least


So they're trying to adapt a skeevy comic into something not skeevy? Or am I misunderstanding you

I wouldn't go that far, but the staff's take on the same material as well as some original bits skew it a bit

I feel like that's the point; they exist for you to pick up any Personas you might have missed or skipped in the previous dungeon while letting you engage or blow past them as you wish while doing your runs to the bottom or for sidequests. I honestly found it kinda chill despite the lame background music since I got to stock up on free cash, items and equipment without having to worry about time management for a bit.

I think you have to do some of the ones from Mishima before he'll give you others, but you can totally build up a backlog from other sources like Confidants. I've seen plenty of people say they usually wait until they have 3 or more just so they aren't wasting days going right in and out for one fight.

Persona 5's NA sales are actually kinda disappointing. They aren't terrible; they just barely hit P4's lifetime sales on PS2 during the release window (~340k) so they'll probably pass that, though the tail on P5 sales looks loving terrible.

Matching your predecessor's lifetime sales right out of the gate sounds pretty drat good? Especially since Atlus goes pretty hardcore on picking up post-launch sales with pricecuts.

doubling your native sales globally sounds neat on paper but only really counts when you're a blockbuster movie working in nine or ten figures. with the astronomical price of top-shelf game development, yeah, it made money against its operational expenses, but if it was their only ip, they'd be in deep poo poo i bet

persona isn't an AAA game

I can't tell if Xenoblade is actually good or not or if everyone just plays it for the lovely british voice acting

Xenoblade's good though a little overhyped in the way all games that only get localized following fan demand are.

Not as bad as something like FF Type-0 though, where there was some hubub about the fan-tl versus the official release, announced just as it was finishing up, but then the game was mediocre and everyone forgot about it.

For further confirmation this is insane, having TLs involve themselves from the outset is standard for avoiding issues and making generally better localizations. After a certain puzzle caused issues in 999, Aksys began working more closely with the devs on future titles to make sure translators wouldn't have to jump through hoops to ensure puzzles made sense outside of Japan.

I'm curious to see if there's gonna be any differences between the JP and NA versions of Xenoblade 2. After all the backlash they might be keeping everything the same this time.

Even if it is they're getting worked up about the idea of the game getting """censored""" mid-development now.

The music discussion a while ago made me want to play Mega Man X right now.

Is Mighty Gunvolt Burst actually a good game? It seems to have positive chatter around it

It sounds fun but keep in mind it's still a score attack focused thing rather than a pure mega man deal
