I hate what Compile Heart has done to Neptunia. I would just play the og persona tbh.

Star Rail 3.0-3.7 was as kino as a gacha JRPG could be. 70+ hour main story but it had some of that gacha filler and stink. Still the most impressive JRPG of 2025.

I suck cock

Apparently Persona 6 had its achievements leaked about 5 days ago. They reveal a lot, including the game's main setting, combat details, some of the personas, etc.

I guess this means the game is a lot further in development and closer to release than I expected. It's probably even gone gold already!
This is pretty shocking to see from Atlus, who are NOTORIOUS for announcing their games a million years too early (not counting spinoffs). Perhaps this time they're making an effort to finally shake that image.

In other news (well, hardly news at this point, but I'm a slowpoke) :
Tokyo Game Show is just around the corner, taking place from Sept. 17 to 21. It's going to be the first-ever 5-day long event in their 30-year history.

But even more importantly:
Villion:Code's western release is finally confirmed!
Sadly, they just say "Coming 2027" with no date in sight.
Now I have to wonder: Are Idea Factory's localizers really this incompetent, or are they just trying to avoid competing with P6's release?

What a coincidence, me too!

metaphor was indev for a very very long time and persona was developed concurrently
gamefreak develops all its games concurrently so that there's always 2 games minimum being worked on at once, which is how they have managed to shovel 3 new pokemon games out across the last 5 years and have a new one coming next year

Sept 20 is Kazuma Kaneko's birthday, and Persona's anniversary!

Why is Persona popular with the progressive kind? I don't see any tranny crying about the teenagers getting sexualized.

>>16705
Because the social link system allows them to simulate what its like to have people that don't despise them. Notice how they don't give a shit about the series before 3?

>I don't see any tranny crying about the teenagers getting sexualized.
Oh, there's plenty of those in certain spaces. But they're a bunch of nobodies, so Atlus never listens to them.

>>16715
People like that are just phonies. There's a difference between admitting teens are attractive and actively pursuing them.
>if you're a teen yourself, well that's okay, but when you age past them you're not supposed to look at them anymore, because I say so
Literal anti-nature, anti-reality nonsense. Unfortunately the West is infested with these people now.

reminds me of back when king cobra would claim that tactical soap had special pheromones that made women attracted to you, but only worked on women age 18 and up who aren't related to you

He was a sexy goth bad boy, not a SICKO. It is what it is, tvchan. Fuck rape, by the way.

So, there's this new RPG from UnitePlus and ArcSystemWorks that caught my attention, titled "Qliphah in Providence's Shadow". Apparently it's about a young man in an apocalyptic Tokyo setting, who becomes a half-demon with tattoo-like markings on his body, and goes around fighting other demons. Wow, what a shockingly original RPG concept that's surely never been done before!
Now, as if the Nocturne aping on display wasn't already obvious and shameless enough, the part that kills me is they even stole that iconic pose! Incredible.

Anyway, most of you guys are probably wondering "Who the fuck are 'UnitePlus'?" I had no idea either at first, so I decided to look them up, and as it turns out: They're a recent company merger between "A-Plus" and "Aquria".
That's right, "Aquria", the same dev team behind Caligula, Crymachina, and Varlet.
What's more, Qliphah's director and lead game designer is the one and only (if you don't mind the TGS presentation's embarrassing spelling error) Satoshi Hirayae himself, the genius behind Caligula's combat system. Good to see him still in business, still working on innovative combat systems, and still sporting that classic dollar-store Skrillex look.
So yeah, this game has my interest, though I'll have to be cautiously optimistic. Apparently it just launched, and I'm already hearing some mixed things from reviewers. Either way, I'm gonna need to upgrade my PC first, and that's probably going to take me a while.
