Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth may catch eyes initially thanks to its massive cast of characters from across Persona’s 3, 4, and 5, but one of the most entertaining aspects is the labyrinths themselves. This time around, they’re based on the world of cinema, and we’ve already seen superhero and…

The central concept behind Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth’s story is that the casts of Persona 3, 4, and 5 are dropped into the worlds of movies, which will conveniently take the form of grid-based dungeons. We already know that one of the first of these worlds will parody superhero…
It was whispered of only in legend; a long-forgotten series of analysis pieces on various video game characters that once resided on this website — so ancient, it saw the time of the Inquirer. Tidings of its returns have been muttered, yet never come to pass… until this day. For…
