This week we talk to special guest/lover of RPGs Bradley Ellis from Game Trailers, Easy Allies, and now Last Stand Media fame. We discuss the last 12 months of releases from Atlus, talk about the recent success of the SMT board game kickstarter, and digital release of the SMT TTRPG. Thank you all for the questions and thanks again to Brad for coming on the show.

Atlus dropped a nice free update for SMTVV that not only adds a new demon/subquest, six new demon navigators from the popularity poll earlier this year, and even more quality of life changes. So for this week's podcast I take a solo look at all the new content added to the game for this shorter episode.

With the release of Metaphor Atlus and the team at Studio Zero put out a brand new title running on the same engine that was used for the original Persona 5 back in 2016. Atlus has also been working with other game engines over the last few years like SMTV with Unreal Engine and Soul Hackers 2 with Unity. So I invited Oliver Mackenzie from Digital Foundry on to talk all about this more technical side of Atlus development.

This summer Brian Shea flew to Japan to write a cover story all about Metaphor: ReFantazio for Game Informer. The magazine was unceremoniously shut down before that cover story could be printed, but Brian recently got the chance to post the feature online on his own along with videos of him with the team over at Studio Zero. This episode we talk about that experience, playing the most recent Metaphor demo that just released for everyone to experience, and what to expect when the game releases in less than two weeks from now!

Game Realms is a video game store in California and recently hosted a meet & greet last weekend with many familiar voice actors you may recognize from SMT. So against all better judgement I flew down met some old friends, made some new ones, and this podcast goes over all the shenanigans.
