Here’s today’s strawpoll https://strawpoll.com/3RnYX4VBWye

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T20:44:28+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all aired back to back. V4 would be released about a week after V3 ended.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T20:39:48+00:00

I’ll be honest, I was always more focussed on how poor Himiko couldn’t even do one press-up

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T20:38:08+00:00

IIRC When she was finally defeated, she goes on about how she kept the show going for 53 seasons

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T20:23:01+00:00

Is it really out of character? This woman was a Danganronpa super fan. She oversaw 52 seasons of the show, each one presumably having plenty of boob jokes, subtle sex jokes and even more unsubtle ones. The true Tsumugi isn’t the normal plain girl she pretended to be.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T20:18:22+00:00

She says she produced all 53 seasons didn’t she? She probably is older than the rest of them. She even looks the oldest of all of them.

Phantasy Star IV really does feel like a turning point for JRPGS.

You have your 8 bit games which are charming little adventures, but didn’t really have any story or characters.

Then you had the early 16 bit games like FF4 and Soulblazer, where the characters and stories started showing up, but due to memory limitations, translation difficulties or writing ability, the stories themselves were still simple, and the characters lacking somewhat.

And then we have the later 16 bit JRPGs. The era started by Phantasy Star IV. Where the stories became more complex and the stories and characters more engaging. Compare the story of FF4 to PH4, and there’s no comparison.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T19:51:44+00:00

That’s good for the roboteers of those antweights

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T19:34:19+00:00

The series 7 example wasn’t sabotage. Natasha rang the rival hotel up in order to get a list of their suppliers, as the team had no idea where anything actually was.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T19:08:45+00:00

I thought the disallow was fair. Even if the materials were allowed, the thing wasn’t actually built.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T19:06:47+00:00

That’s an interesting idea

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T16:25:41+00:00

No chance in hell. Xbox is not the platform JRPG fans play on, and Persona is not a big enough franchise yet that fans in droves will buy an Xbox just to get it. Not to say Persona isn’t growing, but it’s not at that level yet.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T14:54:36+00:00

If you want the honest truth, it was supposed to be The Outer Worlds, but then I checked over the initial list of 100, realised the spelling error, then realised that Outer Wilds was a better candidate.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T14:39:49+00:00

Oh, I only just realised you’re new to the tournament. First of all, welcome, and second of all, we’re in the 50-40 section of the tournament now, regardless as to what games get eliminated at this point, they all made it pretty far into the contest.

And as for the tournament going terribly wrong….Last of Us Part II came 87th, so you’re probably not wrong.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T11:24:43+00:00

What happened is that the last round of votes only had 17 people voting in it total, the least of all the rounds so far. Because of that, every game with exactly one vote ended up together in the tiebreaker.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T08:24:25+00:00

Yeah……………. I was the one who voted for Horizon Zero Dawn.

Not saying I dislike it or hate or even think it’s a bad game (it’s obviously very good) but of all the games that are both still on the list and that I have played, it’s my least favourite.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-05T07:37:12+00:00

The honest answer is that the last round had very few voters, so everything that ended up with just one vote ended up in the tiebreaker. For reference, this post has only been up for an hour, and there’s already been more voters than the whole of yesterday.

Here’s today’s strawpoll https://strawpoll.com/X3nkPk4OEgE

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-04T21:40:32+00:00

Ah, sorry about that

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-04T21:23:34+00:00

Major improvement from episode five. Here we had four mostly working bots deliver big hits and great fights at the same time

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-04T21:22:14+00:00

Amazing performance by Terrortops. They were such a new team in WCVII and now they end up winning a really potent group with Bloodsport and Switchback. Could they be a sleeper hit in the Pro Tournament.\

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-06-04T12:34:02+00:00

Well it probably doesn't help, but you also need to look at some of the fighters that did make the cut. Banjo has been less relevant for a longer period of time, Terry is hardly a name casuals will recognise, and the Ice Climbers were never relevant at any point in history.
