One of the best things about Yakuza is how regularly they can crank those suckers out
Just the other day I was thinking "huh, Like a Dragon didn't even come out that long ago, but I could really go for some more Yakuza " and then boom, Lost Judgement got announced like a couple days later. Asset reuse is a powerful thing.

I did read your episode reactions to the current anime...just don't have anything worth posting about it. Its exhausting lol
Meanwhile, Persona 6 could probably reuse assets galore and still take several more years to come out. Such is the magic of the franchise; the power of Atlus.
I finally finished Royal last week, and now its really hitting me that we've still got a ways to go until the next entry. I wish Atlus could get better at not taking forever all the time, but the last thing I'd want is to rush them too much, so I guess that's just the price we have to pay.
I honestly think it could go either way on just how long we have - it could take just another year or two 'til at least the announcement, using the most generous possible interpretation of what's been reported on development and assuming they're reusing P5's engine.
But on the other hand, if the new team's trying a bunch of new things/having trouble acclimating... we might be in for the long haul.
"Why make Persona 6 when Persona 5's desiccated remains still have some spin-off juice left in them?" - Atlus, probably.
I'm only half-joking.

The Persona series is a camel. It drinks up fans' money and uses it to store more spin-offs in its hump to last it until the next Mainline Game Oasis.
on the one hand i do understand your point, but on the other hand get bent you dork
It's not the breaking down that gets me, because maybe someday you'll want to find a list of characters who have jerked off so it's nice to have that available when you need it. It's the people who don't seem to understand what the resource is. The front page of the website says "tropes are not bad", but you still get people who say that Tvtropes is great because it helped them avoid tropes, which if they're lucky means that they'll get their own Tvtropes page full of tropes typical of people who are trying to be subversive because the person who was trying to avoid tropes hasn't figured out that the reason we have so many is because we've been writing stories for around 5,000 years and it's hard to avoid doing anything that has been done a bunch of times before.
You also get people who view Tvtropes as an academic resource even though, similarly, the website says it's it's informal. So you'd say something like "I hated forced voices in video games" and then the Tvtroper pops up and goes, wait, the proper term is "but thou must", which adds nothing to the conversation except revealing to the world that you spend too much time on that website and are no longer able to code-switch from "weird internet nerd" to "actual human being". It's the equivalent of saying to the person across the counter that instead of a Pepsi you'll get a bottle of dihydrogen monoxide, except Tvtropes doesn't even half the history of European civilization clinging to the prestige of Greek and Latin to prove to the world that they weren't always a bunch of hicks on the global scale.
The secret thing that Tvtropes is really good for, though, is historical stuff. Besides it being informal and therefore pretty readable even for the uninformed, the fact that it's focused on fiction means that it's naturally heavily geared towards breaking down specific cultural perceptions of history and explaining why they are how they are and how it fails to capture reality. For example, a lot of tropes revolving around the depiction of Nazis as a highly technologically advanced machine that the Western world miraculously came together to defeat, which is naturally a mixture of a half-truths and propaganda. While they had highly advanced military technology, they're inevitably inefficient because they're more concerned with holding power than actually running things properly, and they lacked the access to the resources need to and understanding of how to operate a global empire, so despite the bombs and tanks they were largely running on horse-drawn vehicles and slave labour.
History tells me they'll announce it for a 2024 release in 2023, and it'll end up releasing in 2026.
I do wonder, how much from P5 will they take for P6 or they will go in a slightly different direction in terms of its structure, plot and gameplay since it is a new time instead of the team that has been working on the series since P3
I know that's probably not what this picture implies, but I'd like to imagine BGBW playing a Russian RPG where protagonists are slimes with names like Don Miguel and Markus which use magic like operator overloading and resource acquisition in initialization.
I've used many versions of RPG Maker over the years, and experienced multiple fonts.This was RPG Maker's font for me:
just replying to say I saw the first screenshot you used before subbing it out
Of course I had to make a quoteless post just before BGBW injected a different screenshot. When will I learn.

Anyone who used RPG Maker 2k back in the day played Don's Adventure!
I discovered it wasn't actually a RPG Maker 2k screenshot, but rather Don's Adventure played in an open source alternative to RPG Maker that I never knew of until now.
Plus, gotta have the old Win 95/98 UI to truly reflect what it looked like for me.
Isn't it because the stage was based on Wii Sports Resort? Wuhu Island had an updated version for Mario Kart 8 DX's battle mode, but it's obviously not the one used in Smash Ultmate.
I actually think the fact that it's a new team might push them to show they can recreate something like P5 before going on to do their own thing.
Ayumi strikes me as a character better served in the days of 64/Melee where the characters weren't so rigorously faithful to their source material, but that's why I want to see her now (alternative Phoenix Wright). How do you adapt a VN Murder Mystery hero to a fighting game?
Possibly true. This might be an unpopular opinion but i hope P6 tries something new instead of sticking to the P3,P4,P5 Formula which while good - has been played out in my opinion. I think P5 perfected the formula (mostly) and i don't really want P6 to just be P5 but better

I wonder how difficult it'd be to take the Generation 5 "demake" project I'm typing it up and make a romhack of Red and Blue? I imagine the easiest way would be to switch out the pre-existing Pokemon, but would you have to do it 1:1?
Anyway I was thinking about which Generation 5 Pokemon the Kanto Gym Leaders would use and it's kind of tough thanks to the dual Types. Like Swanna would totally fit Misty, BUT since it's part Flying I wouldn't want to take away Grass's advantage that early. Jellicent would also be cool but then an early Gym Leader having a Ghost-type seems broke when a lot of early game Pokemon end up stuck with Normal moves.

Being a VN Murder Mystery Hero didn't stop Phoenix from getting into UMvC3.
And as far as Smash characters being rigorously faithful, it wasn't even that comparatively long ago in Ultimate that we got Duck Hunt. A mix of new moves and abstract references that served as an excellent representation of Duck Hunt in Smash. Ayumi could act in a similar manner as a VN Adventure rep.
When you bring a character from a different genre in a fighting game, it's bound to have something lost in the transition and that's fine; That's actually the fun part of seeing the character outside their natural enverioment.
I'd take it, especially if they could somehow squeeze in Zenkichi, Sophia, Yoshizawa, and Akechi's portrayal in Royal
Etrian Odyssey kinda vanished with the 3DS, though, so I wouldn't get my hopes up, though
That's another good point that I tried alluding to, but you did a much better job of articulating. The TVTropes community is full of people that don't understand why tropes exist in the first place and treat them as something to avoid or subvert at all costs because they have the weird, mistaken belief that tropes are inherently awful. And the people that use it as an academic resource don't understand the informal purpose of the website, so like you said, they come off as the weird internet nerd when people are discussing media. And just like all things related to internet discussion, this group, the one that takes TVTropes too seriously and view all tropes as Bad, and don't realize how ridiculous they sound when they're arguing at length of why.
And there's people who don't view tropes as the devil and open TVTropes to find some newly catalogued trope where, naturally, the opening paragraph is at minimum 40% links to other trope pages, and the media catalogued range from anime and video games to fanfiction, and they just see the website for the goofy-ass wiki it is.
You seem to phrase it like it's a contradiction. Everyone probably knows where I'm going with this, but it still needs stating...
I like that one ending I think circa XX where Eddie tries to take possession of Slayer's wife and just immediately melts.
That's it, I'm going to force you into watching Giant Robo now. Not only will it correct your opinions on Slayer, but you'll be able to appreciate my idea for Giant Robo Musou.
