When a game you KNOW will come out eventually hasn’t come out in years, and there’s very little confirmation as to what it will or will not be, you’re going to have plenty of people almost “too eager” to look for clues or hints as to what might come next. Atlus fans are not happy with how Persona 6 has seemingly been “sidelined” by various spinoffs of the 5th entry, alongside the remakes of past games. While it’s true that these have all “served a purpose” in one form or another, gamers really want that 6th entry, and they want it sooner rather than later.

Atlus and Sega have continued their series of character-based trailers for Persona 3 Reload with a new one, focusing on Aigis. The trailer, which you can check out below, showcases the character, who is being voiced by Dawn M. Bennett in English and Maaya Sakamoto in Japanese.

The playable characters in vary in terms of effectiveness. They're not unlike their counterparts in that way, but there are some significant differences.

Tactica is a tactics game that takes place in the same world as Persona 5 and includes the original game’s core group of heroes: the Phantom Thieves. As a spinoff, it’s natural to wonder: Do you need to play Persona 5before Persona 5 Tactica?

A former Nintendo employee who worked for the company in Japan says he thought it was “hell” for “average people”.

It’s always ironic when a game that had superior success to anything that came before isn’t almost immediately followed up by a sequel confirmation or a sequel that arrives a few years later. In the case of Atlus, fans have been waiting for YEARS for the arrival of Persona 6. After all, the 5th entry didn’t just do incredibly well; it helped redefine the RPG genre in certain ways and got eyeballs on the franchise like never before! Not to mention, it was nominated for a slew of awards, including Game of the Year in 2017! So the fact that the 6th entry isn’t here yet, almost seven years later, is mind-boggling.
