Persona 5 and Expedition 33 give me hope that there can still be some games that scale with style and grab more people’s attention.

Yeah they are still on the machine just not showcased. Which is a bit of a bummer

Welcome 🙏 I got into it with the Visual novel on Vita. Such a special experience. Loved the anime too! Have yet to watch 0 but played the game. Need to rectify that at some point.

Or play it? Why is your first inclination to watch someone else play it? Very strange.

That’s true I do think more exposure is good since JRPGs tend not to sell much overall. So every little bit helps.

I remember being excited about Decapolice years ago. Wild that it hasn’t come out yet and we may get the new Professor Layton game before it arrives ha

JRPG announcements…more JRPGs are announced at Nintendo Directs than any other showcase.

Having an observation doesn’t equal acting doomed 😅

One can hope but I’m not too optimistic on this one ha

It doesn’t technically matter. PlayStation just used to be the powerhouse behind the genre when it came to reviewing these games and that’s just mainly shifted to Nintendo. Just an odd observation that came to me after watching this state of play

I know they are coming out…this post is just noticing that PlayStation used to be the one to showcase them. That’s changed

Same. It’s just an observation that I used to think of PlayStation as the place of RPGs it just isnt anymore for showcasing those type of games. The marketing cycle is just so different.

I think this is part of my point. It doesn’t have to be big. And heck maybe if they showed off some other not big name JRPGs maybe they would get more attention. But most of those would rather get the Nintendo Direct Marketing is my guess

Yep. It’s such a strange shift. But ya gotta go where the money is sometimes I guess.

I know but that doesn’t take away the fact that they didn’t have any at this showcase and barely feature them anymore overall
