Baseless Pitch - A Sequel to Persona 5

For the record before we start I am aware that both Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Strikers both exist one serving as a sequel the idea below follows from Strikers think of it as Persona 5 2 of sorts. I will however incorporate characters from Royal as well in order to use the full catalogue of characters at our disposal. Thinks of this as a time line of Royal to Strikers to this idea just that Yoshizawa was just away during Strikers. Spoilers for all three games previously mentioned below. One of my favourite games to play in the last few years was Persona 5. While Strikers comes out the end of February 2021 and I didn't play Royal the original game is probably one of my favourite games in recent memories. It was a fun immersive experience which left me wanting more (well obviously not enough to play a remake with some extra new additions thrown on) but in the form of a brand new story. Now obviously the first point of call is for this to take place post Strikers the Phantom Thieve

Fire Emblem Fates - My Personal Problem with Corrin

For reference before we begin this post will only cover Fire Emblem Fates and not Corrin's inclusion to Super Smash Bros and the whole Fire Emblem 'controversy' surrounding the franchise and host of characters in Smash. If I am honest my opinion on that as a whole is covered a lot better then I could by Schaffrillas Productions in the following video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_Dg8qOYZzU so please watch that. When I saw the image above it was the first thing I saw of Fire Emblem Fates and I loved it. Combine it with the concept and I found it interesting a character torn between his birth family and the family he grew up with, what the internal struggle for Corrin could be, how would his two families react and the kingdom themselves. I was hooked in on concept alone and coming off of being one of the many people who got their first taste of Fire Emblem with Awakening I was really looking forward to this. And then the game happened.  Look, Fates it isn't the wors

Quick Thoughts: AEW Revolution 2021

2021 has finally come and with it brings a whole next rotation of PPVs for AEW for me to give my thoughts on. It's hard to believe just 12 months ago AEW had a full venue for Revolution to see Jon Moxley win the AEW title it feels like multiple lifetimes ago not 12 months. Regardless as with all wrestling companies AEW has tried to make the best out of the bad situation and with a fun card lined up I was hopeful it could live up to it.  Britt Baker & Maki Itoh vs. Thunder Rosa & Riho AEW brought over Maki Itoh over as Britt Baker's partner and it was a great move. Itoh is insanely charismatic and will be a big star on that alone. While not the best in the ring that can come in time and with that I hope they get her full time soon as Itoh is a phenomenal. The match was good and serves as another step in the Baker and Rosa match. I look forward to the eventual blow off match. I do wonder what is next for Riho. With her being back full time in America (I assume) I wonder w
