0:34Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Monday, June 8th, 2026. I'm one of your hosts, Blessing, Adio Gay Jr. Joining me is the legend, Greg Miller. Hey, Bless. How are you? Doing well. How are you doing? I am excellent. It's glad to be back in the office. I said it's glad to be back in the office. Yeah. Because it's like my 10th day of work in a row. I was going to say, how tired are you? I'm very tired. I had some of your luck. My plane home from SGF last night delayed. Of course. I got rolled into the house about 11.45 p.m. Of course, that's how it goes. Up this morning with the dogs with Ben getting back in the swing.

1:05Jen's still at SGF. It's chaos. It's just absolute chaos right now. But I'm good. I'm riding that high.

1:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it, too. It's E3. It's E3. Yeah. No, last night I was like, oh, man, thank God for the weekend. And I was like, shit, it's going to be Monday tomorrow. And the car, it was just like white noise as I drove. And I'm like, yep, yep, I'm in the middle of a convention. Like, I am in the middle of a convention right now. But I'm happy to be here. how was it yesterday you got to go to the xbox showcase i did yeah i got to go to the xbox uh showcase at the academy of motion pictures inside the dolby theater they had their their dome or whatever uh it was cool like you know i on the ride to the xbox uh showcase was telling jen like man i'm actually really excited and then not even about the xboxness of it i was but like more the fact of like i haven't been in a theater presentation press conference in how many years you know what i mean sure covid but even before then we've been reacting so long here at the studio like i really haven't been in the room for the energy of that what was the energy like i feel like xbox would have a particularly unique energy it was good i you know the dolby theater that they have there is the one again this is like where the it's like they have the oscars museum right it's where we were at for the um or you didn't go this year but the after parties and stuff like that and so the theater there is like really you can't buy tickets to go see a movie there is when they screen stuff or do very special things for like academy members or whatever so it's a fucking very nice theater but it's like not soundproof but very soundproof which meant like it was absorbing like there you didn't have that cacophony of energy i feel even when aaron greenberg was on stage before hyping people up he was getting lost in the walls because it was so good but it was still after starving you know being so thirsty in the desert for so long it was nice to have a drink of that hype and the audience was definitely into it definitely into it when they were all given uh xbox uh series x25 sixes or x25s did not did you take one home uh you know what we will talk about that i do have like mike summer game fest swag bag if we remember from kind of feudy mike won that episode and one of the prizes if you don't remember kind of feudy Way better than Game Showdown.

3:16We give away a gift, a prize, each and every episode. And one prize was that you would get my SGF swag bag. And I did include my Xbox paraphernalia in here as well. Oh. So when Mike gets here, the deal is I told him to come up, maybe during Gamescast. I will present him with the bag. He will then go unbox it as a Gregway. That's really exciting. And that's when we'll talk about the console.

For now, let's begin with what is, and forever will be, the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have five stories today. A Baker's Dozen! Starting with our number one. We've talked about it. We've predicted it. we predicted things that are going to be in it the nintendo direct has officially been the worst kept secret in the world yes uh so badly kept that yes on friday our khd is already our predictions for this showcase um this came from a tweet from nintendo where i was at the gym this morning and usually i get to the gym around like 6 50 a.m i'm on the treadmill and i noticed that it's 7 0 1 you're like something just happened your spider sense my spider senses started taking like i'm like 701 let me go look on i opened twitter there was nothing and i was like it's just not circulating yet people aren't retweeting yet i'm gonna i'm gonna go directly to the nintendo twitter and yes it was right there at 7 did you think about going to nintendo today today well no but what i did learn is that the news came out like 15 minutes earlier on nintendo today the three people who use nintendo today like we know we're all they're really serious about nintendo today uh they tweeted out this morning on twitter join us on june 9th that is tomorrow at 7 a.m.

5:11Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Pacific time for a Nintendo Direct followed by a Nintendo Treehouse Live. The Direct will be roughly 50 minutes long. The Treehouse will be 95 minutes. Greg, I talked to Tim all about this. You did. You broke down all of our predictions. I want to hear... Hey, I listened to that episode. Really, really good episode. Oh, thank you. And I also listened to the Xbox reactions. Really great stuff there. You guys had a lot of great conversations where you, of course, just brought up what you and me had talked about the day before with the two stories. I kept saying that at SGF2. What do you think about Xbox?

5:39I'm like, well, they're a tale of two Xboxes. Story number one, story number two. They're conflicting with each other. I mean, I want Ocarina. I want an Ocarina of Time remake in some form or fashion.

5:49Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Are we overhyping ourselves? Yes. We're to the point that we've talked about this so much, this rumor, speculation, whatever. There's never been an official leak, right? We've never seen a screenshot. I think at first it was us inventing. We wanted an Ocarina remake. And then eventually Nate the Hate came out. And now it's a report slash rumor. yeah this is happening yeah and he was the same person to say that starfox is happening yeah so there's some credibility if it doesn't happen tomorrow i will be fucking devastated and i will have no one to blame but myself you know what i mean it's not like somebody has been teasing this and saying god mr nintendo ain't like courage power he's not saying that i'm just getting wound up about it on my own but like yeah i'm wound the fuck up let's go you know what i mean even if it was just something else zelda i i i want ocarina i want an ocarina remake this year imminently whatever but like even if it was just something else zelda i'd be even if it's like a top-down td thing i mean that's what i want more than uh you know my that's your kind of the thing that would be like least and not exciting i would be excited for all of you but like if they were like here is the successor to tears of the kingdom and that was their only announcement you guys talked about this during previews very well of like there's room for both right it's the 40th anniversary so you could do here's a remake here's a new top-down zelda whatever and then be like but don't worry we have one more thing and it's the tease of tears the king to whatever the third in that trilogy will just say right yeah and it's not that i don't like those games i enjoy those games i play those games a lot but like it's the same thing we're like watching i'll freak out about persona 6 i'm like god i gotta finish persona 5 like i got you know what i mean like it's like there's a lot of time on the clock but it will be here before you know it where it's like i shit persona 6 is out this year and i still have finished persona 5 i gotta get on that I got to get it's persona summer.

7:36I did see that Chris plant in a, uh, what does that mean? He's saying that this summer, since there's not that many games until September, persona summer, everybody go pick it. Everybody go listen to post games, sign up to post games, the newsletter and all that. Just go listen to post games. One of my favorite, maybe my favorite video game podcast. Go over there and get it. Yeah. Cause he's pushing this and I do love that. And I did think about it. I was like, all right, cool. But then I'm back in that same thing of, do I restart? It's a whole different conversation. This isn't about it.

8:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You're not going to replay Persona. You're not going to play Persona. Because remember, I took notes the last time I played it. And I stopped at the same place I always do, where I have to fight the fucking painting with the eyes and all the different things. Ah, that's the first big skill check. And it's just like it's annoying. So I wrote down my notes. So I could open my notebook and go, this was my job. And these are the days I go to. The job. And this is what I'm doing in class. And that's why I did it. I did it knowing it would take me multiple things. So I think I can pick back up on PlayStation.

8:29How many times have you tried with Royal version? Just once.

8:36Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'll say I've given two college tries on a royal version. Okay. I'm going to put a pin in Nintendo for a second because I want to keep talking about this. Persona 4 Revival. Does that do anything for you? This is one of those things I want you to know. Yeah. I'm sure Barrett was the exact same way. Just listen to y 'all do the Gamescast post-show screaming in my box when you're like, yeah, you know, first off, hilarious. You're like, but I'm not Barrett. Barrett would know this, but I'm not Barrett. But you guys, when you were like grasping at straws, you're like, well, I guess it was kind of supernatural persona four and i'm like they were in coffins in persona three they shot themselves in the head in persona three persona three was very dark i think persona five yeah all the person like i i streamed on my own uh yesterday in the late afternoon i was talking about how much persona six even from the very little we've gotten seems to really be uh like pulling aesthetically from persona three and even earlier persona games like yeah the occult like mystical kind of shit like that's all like the origins of persona you know yes so so this feels like a throwback a little bit with the vibe here throwback but also like maybe returning to form a little bit of like what the series was and that's that's i mean i in what everyone is exciting to me you know persona four is what i'm known for i think but persona three was my first persona three oh jesus christ i'm so tired persona three was my first persona right where i did uh playing on ps2 at Jeff Haynes.

9:55Oh, no, I played P4 at Jeff Haynes' request. And then I guess it was... No, I did P3 on disc as well. And then I reviewed it at Fez for IGN on PSP, right? Yeah.

10:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I know you love 4Golden. You know, you like PA. I do. But you know me, I'm a horror movie guy. And so the murder mystery angle of it, even though there's a whole television world or whatever, was cool and I liked it. But I did really vibe. Persona, even Persona 4, at times, I felt long in the tooth about it. and this is when i have no life going on you know i mean it's not like i was distracted by a kid or anything like that in persona 3 i never had that feeling persona 3 flew by for me i'm trying to figure out what was going on i don't think i even realized you played persona 3 i think yeah i reviewed one of them okay yeah the other thing i want to ask is of course we have so many announcements from xbox that you didn't get to react to live the vivarium game i think we're all like this gives greg vibes a little bit 100 is that something that excites you yes exactly it's very exciting but when you guys were at the post show debating like oh yeah I don't think it's going to go that dark I seem like it's going to go pretty fucking dark the music being wobbly you could be like you're watching an old anime but I'm like it seemed wobbly in a horror movie sense something's going to turn that corner on us but yeah I was about that what else spoke to you from Xbox in particular man it's an interesting one where Great Showcase killed it but it is such a thing of like man 2027 is looking great whereas 2026 is just like not an xbox year for greg you know i mean like i gears and halo are the reason i probably wasn't an xbox fan for a long time right xbox modern xbox i has has bought the ips i care about in a lot of different ways yes yeah but also has made the xbox play anywhere moves and the handheld moves that have made me oh man i'm in this ecosystem because of that stuff not necessarily the ip and so to get this one that is so halo and so gears and that's great like they look those games look great i just know i'm not that guy you know what i mean i was like cool but 2027 fable like fable bless that fucking fable trailer insane like i fable and i heard you freaking out about it as you should i know you know you're an rpg poppy like myself or whatever but like in terms of the kind of rpgs i like of just that story and then like character and like let's get something to crunch on and chew on like if what they've shown from the story and then what they've shown in the past from like here's all the npcs and what they've shown a little bit of combat if that can all fucking line up that's going to be an all-timer that's like sure all i said it during the thing but like i feel like it's the game looks too good to be true yeah i hope yeah but the fact that what they're presenting on the forefront are the things that are impressing the most when you see the systems of what all the npcs are going are doing and like you know how you can interact with all of them and then have them kind of exist in this town and then you show all the story stuff with hayley atwell as the villain you get to like the scene with the what cave talking or whatever there's like a wall yeah i'm like this is all the shit that excites me as well as an rpg gamer and these are all the things that they're presenting on the forefront so i would hope that these are the things that are going to really hit about it yeah and it's like that was great but again like we're talking about such a 2027 thing where it's like okay sure minecraft dungeons too i'm excited for that but it's like yeah i'm excited for that like me and joey and lauren you know platinum it back in the day on playstation loved it but i was talking to people about it at uh scf like uh yeah jez was like well yeah what class did you or what was your build or whatever and i was like i have no idea like i'm like i don't remember i slashed a lot of things and shot arrows i think i don't and like so it's like that's an exciting one for me but not what i'm crazy about right yeah so it's like 20 27 is the real year whereas this one i look at i'm like okay okay state of decay three come on what are we doing come on no i mean what are we doing oh you know you don't like it i love state of decay i can't wait for a state of decay i can only get excited so many times for a state of decay three announcement trailer like okay when you have a full fucking date i don't this is similar to crazy taxi which is two stories we're about to talk on games cast about because i did get to go to behind closed doors and and look at crazy taxi before i found out there's gen ai in it but like again even that when they were like when it's like we're previewed in a games cast is going to preview crazy taxi world to a right after this i'm on it no big deal uh but when they started the gameplay it was the most like inverse reaction i've ever had where i was like oh my god this looks amazing and also oh my god this isn't coming out soon like this isn't this is they're doing a big crazy taxi this isn't the multiplayer arcade here's a 15 dollar game we're putting out tomorrow i was like ah shit fuck i'm like excited but i'm not playing this anytime soon you know yeah i feel a little bit damned if you do damned if you don't know of course those were of course of course everybody's complaining about blade where's blade why wasn't blade there and for me i'm like it was a similar thing where if they showed blade today they would show another cinematic thing and we wouldn't see it yep like or they would say 2028 and we'd all be like oh but why did you show it kind of thing yeah and so i don't really know where to land on those but it's and we get it right we are students of the game and commentators on the game so i understand how you play this game of you have to talk about the now and the future especially as they try to rebuild this xbox and the exclusives and the brand and all these different things right where it's like okay we need to be looking ahead and showing you we got this stuff.

15:07But I think for us, the people who are every day talking about this stuff every day, it's like, here's more clockwork revolution. It's like, I'm sold. I'm sold. Can you give me a real date? 2027. All right. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, okay, I hope you hit that. Like, I'd be like fable being like February, whatever it was, 2027. Okay, cool. We're ready to rock. Let's go. I really think that game probably would have been ready if not for the GTA. You know what I mean? So it's like, I can wait. And that's a great time period for it.

15:34Blessing Adeoye Jr.:enough about this Xbox. Sorry, sorry. Let's talk about a real company. Let's talk about Nintendo. It's what I think, what I'd like your take on is this. The thing I heard so much about our SGF, Jeff Showcase, and the Xbox SGF Showcase was, yes, we're all excited for it, but it feels like known quantities. We know what we're getting. Do you feel that about Nintendo? Because even though we're all saying Ocarina Remake, Like, even though we're all saying Fire Emblem, I still feel like that Nintendo is the one who can be like, here's this thing you kind of knew about, but didn't know about. Like, you know, for everything on the Xbox, not everything.

16:14Most things on the Xbox thing, we looked at it and went, oh, cool, that game we've heard about, or that leaked, or did this, or that. Okay, cool, that's nice. But, like, it wasn't like, oh! I think the biggest, oh, reaction from y 'all was the translucent Xbox. Because it was like, really was. Tim had predicted it, but we didn't know it was real. So there was, like, a huge moment on that.

16:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I think it's a little bit of both. Nintendo's an interesting company because I think they're they're both the most predictable company out there for video game announcements and what their video game slate's gonna be and then also the least predictable like right now Barrett's showing is this Fire Emblem, Fortune's Weave? Yeah, like Barrett's showing this of course we're gonna see another Fire Emblem thing of course they're probably gonna say the release date and we're probably gonna get it for this fall we're probably gonna get, you talk about Zelda Zelda remake, I'm sure if you go back to the me and Tim conversation i'm just out here listing a bunch of nintendo yps yeah guess what we're gonna get some of those announced and probably most of those not announced yeah right but then every now and then they throw a curveball where it's like oh and now here's a fucking kirby fighting game and it's like whoa yeah yeah i didn't know i didn't know we were doing this and so i think for me i am i am excited about the known quantities because i want to get the answers to the dates but i think more so than the other companies i am excited about the things that i don't know specifically it's like all right I know eventually Nintendo's going to make an Animal Crossing, but is that going to happen soon?

17:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Are we going to see it here kind of thing? Do we get an update for Mario Kart World finally? We've just hit its one-year anniversary the other day. Will we get Silksome? See, I feel like Nintendo just has the most chance to surprise and delight. Even PlayStation calling the ball with, all right, we're going to have all this Wolverine stuff, and then we're all like, that Fae game will probably, I don't know. it just playstation continues in the next one no playstation continues like we've talked about of like putting out sequels to their franchises and ips right yeah even though and i know it's a little bit different but i do think wolverine like there's the spider-man dna in there so like even before we saw wolverine you kind of felt like you knew what wolverine gonna be and then we saw it is what he is and it looks great but like whatever and same thing for like hey here's and it's like oh it is just in the god of war universe in quotes it's not you know 2d side scroller or whatever isometric hades it's just like she's got a different skill set for sure but it's like okay cool it's more of that like yeah even those things that surprise and delight in that way i feel like nintendo is the one who comes out and like here's a fucking game and watch mario game that makes no sense you know i mean some weird fucking thing yeah like j so i think for me playstation feels like jay-z during his like american gangster to blueprint three era where jay-z for so long can you do a taylor swift analogy to this or weezer uh i don't know taylor switch albums like that but so the jay-z thing right basically jay-z was on top of the game for so long yeah and i feel like he found such a pocket that he kind of became boring like chat what was the album before american gangster i feel like that's actually where playstation's at where it's like okay cool it's just more jay-z he's just rapping he's on beat he's doing his thing but like this isn't exciting i'm not excited about this right for me xbox is like eminem when eminem was kind of fumbling around figuring things out.

19:21Blessing Adeoye Jr.:And for me, like Nintendo is that art. I don't really have a good analogy for Nintendo, but they're an artist that is like, you're kind of just waiting for, they're kind of like Beyonce in a weird way where you're just waiting for them to drop something exciting because you know what can happen at any moment. Okay. You know that when we get to the Nintendo Direct tomorrow, it could be Zelda Ocarina of Time and everybody's freaking out and be like, oh, it's the greatest thing of all time. Okay, you got me. But we're always kind of waiting for that next like Nintendo bomb to drop and you never know when that bomb's gonna be.

19:49Blessing Adeoye Jr.:But in the meantime, they'll give you a thing here or there. It's like, cool. Oh, Fire Emblem. That's for the Fire Emblem fans. Oh, Rhythm of Heaven's back. Okay, cool. But then you might get a Zelda Ocarina and have everybody go crazy about it. Shout out to you. Yeah. The Jay-Z specifics lost me, but when you bring Eminem and Beyonce, now I got you. I'm right there. Now I'm there. Perfect. What's up? Another Zelda thing I want, just because, you know, let's all admit, they fumbled the 35th anniversary celebration of Zelda. so i hope that it's not just like a one thing like uh you and tim were saying the other day i i do hope a small thing let's finally get twilight princess on the gamecube um backwards compatible thing for switch 2 yeah yeah i think that makes sense def grub told us it was happening so long ago what twilight princess princess yeah oh well yeah i mean when they announced the gamecube thing it was like one of the games like shown oh you're saying on the gamecube online thing yeah oh i guess i'm talking about the remaster that and wind waker remaster oh the week yeah i don't remember that conversation where jeff rubb was like this is happening remakes coming at this point i i am doubtful i believe that it was being worked on right i don't think jeff rubb pulled it out of nowhere but the question is are they still yeah it was being worked on and they were like guys we figured out the gamecube technology and how to get it to run on switch yeah um so yeah i think for zelda's anniversary that makes sense If I'm getting myself hype, what I want that I don't think we'll get, I want anything Smash.

21:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I want a Smash Ultimate Nintendo Switch 2 edition. I want a Smash edition with new characters. My biggest dream that would never happen would be you do Smash Ultimate plus a campaign, like a new campaign, like something that's beyond World of Light that gets you back to the hype of Subspace Emissary from Brawl, where here's a story mode with a bunch of these characters interacting, all that stuff. Never in a million years are I going to get that. But that would be my Nintendo World of Dreams kind of situation. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Okay, okay. I appreciate that. What else from Nintendo? Is there anything that you're like, I need this on my Switch soon, in the next year?

21:52I mean, like, need or want? Are we dreaming or we're not? Because, like, I need Ocarina. I need whatever Zelda thing they're cooking up. I want that. I'm ready. You know what I mean? Like, we keep looking over at Adventure Zellie in his dumb hat.

22:04Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah. Mina the Hollow and her dumb mouse. You know what I mean? I'm like, I need a Zelda. All right? Don't you dare. We got these two pretenders to the throne and a hat and a mouse. I need, you know what I mean? So I want that. Realistically, I mean, you know, you mentioned Animal Crossing, and of course I get a tingle, but I don't, I refuse to believe that's anytime soon. You know what I mean? I'd always hope maybe for, they surprise us with some kind of updates for New Horizons. Obviously we just had to switch to one at the beginning of the year. I'm not looking at Gift Horse in the mouth with the hotel.

22:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:At this point, you got to announce Pocopia updates. Right. No, you're right. I think that's the big reason why you wouldn't even do Animal Crossing. now it's like you gotta let pacopia have its legs yeah those were my predictions from uh when we're doing sgf stuff off the wall yeah i bet pacopia does get something and i'd be stoked about that i have been jones to go back yeah yeah um i mean you mentioned the elliot and his dumb hat i i don't think it'll happen but like i'm waiting on the chrono trigger hd2d remake yeah yeah give it to me yeah um let's hop into some super chats of course people are talking kebab says my feed is filled with purple dragons right now really exciting love that spyro's back fire was back aaron lime says incredibly bummed about crazy taxi using gen ai do publishers have ai token quotas to hit or something is there a cultural disconnect on the environmental effects of data centers what's going on copy that slack to me we'll bring it up in games cast because this is obviously going to be a big hot topic there and jeff grubb and uh mike minotti put up a video today talking about this because they got to go do their crazy taxi world tour interview after this news had broke so they had they asked the question had some of the quick discussion over on instagram i want to throw up i have slack to you greg thank you um k zupano says give mike his xbox on the kind of funny games cast in about 30 minutes maybe mike will have come to work and if so he will come out here and we will give him the bag and we will talk about it he's here don't ruin the jokes he's here Barrett shut the fuck up he's here Science Talk Official says imagine if they put that NPC system into the next Forza Horizon I mean what would it serve would be the question is it just to have better looking characters more unique characters because that'd be cool in Forza but really you're just once you're behind the wheel in Forza it really doesn't matter about the characters it is after the races though when my character is celebrating does it not matter because whenever I step out of it, they do put you out of the car.

24:32Sometimes, yeah. I'm like, oh, right. I forgot I made this character look like this. Yikes.

24:36Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Resolute says, love you guys. Thank you for working your ass off. Thank you. Thank you for watching and supporting. Dexter Schwarzler says, had a pretty tough weekend as we had to say goodbye to our dog on Friday. But what really helped was hanging out with you guys, reacting to all the presentations. Thank you and love your pets, everyone. Indeed. Sorry that had to happen to you. I know how much that hurts. But as you can see from the two guys who are finally passed out over there. you can you you you'll find new loves and still love your old loves they're finally asleep because when they sleep in the entire car ride here i'm like oh they're gonna be hellraisers oh yeah and then that little yippy yappy in the beginning i'm like you better shut you shut the fuck up and i you saw what i did i took the belt off and i showed him the belt he did do that gotta learn they know what the belt means uh volk dasher writes in and says do we do we think ninty please don't beat your pets do we think ninty hold back do we think ninty hold oh i see ninty being show for nintendo hold back from releasing this year because of gta actually i can't tell what ninty means in this case uh we can say it's a diff audience but it's still gta 6 year old upwards will be playing i don't know what he's saying yeah it will nintendo hold back on either an ocarina of time remake coming out around november or a fire emblem coming out around november will they hold back yes different audiences all of that stuff yada yada yada i think just my take i think fire emblem you wouldn't put around november but i do think zelda they don't give a shit they're like it's zelda it's zelda i'm the reverse i'm i i like i feel like fire emblem is such a different game from a gta that like it could actually work pretty well in an early November range.

26:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Ocarina, again, different enough, it's Ocarina, it's all these things, right? But like, I'm of the mind to just don't make an unforced error. Like, just put it out another time. Like, you don't have to put out Ocarina in November. Nothing's making you put that out in November. Yeah. Nothing's making you do it, but like, it is Ocarina, it is Zelda. Yeah, like, I feel like, well what about ocarina says november holiday black friday nintendo is very traditional especially if they do like early november like that is that would be such a big hit of like i want to see i mean like this is definitely too like they know what they have with this game they know they have this ip i know this is gonna sound crazy in the current i can easily see collector's edition whether it be just a collector's edition of the game slash a collector's edition of the switch where like we bought another tears of the kingdom switch back uh last time around right because of how fucking dope that was.

27:15Do that with a Switch 2 dock and all that jazz. Even though I know everything costs an arm and a leg now. Don't do it. For my own sake, don't do it. How will we feel when there is weapon degradation in an Ocarina of Time? I will punch Blessing so fucking hard. I only bring it up just because Chad's melting down. They want it.

27:35Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I appreciate the person in chat that says Ocarina is bigger than GTA. It's not, but to me it is. real to me and then i'll do one more from mr lazuli gaming says excited to see more persona i'm also excited to see more persona i've been thinking a lot about metaphor v fantasia in the last oh it's crazy that the gameplay loop that they have for the persona games and now with metaphor there's something in it and what i think that is is crack cocaine because whenever i am off of it for long enough there's something inside me that's like let's get back to the calendar back i need to have the decision of like do i want to go dungeon exploring do i want to hang out with the homie and level up our thing and the metaphor of fantasia also had so many gamified elements tied to it all the different skill trees and shit with each of the different um archetypes archetypes thank you like oh man was that crack i'm really excited to see what if like p studio and studio zero have been like talking with each other and to see if p studio has like learned anything from the og persona creators on like what to do with persona 6 because i would love to see more of an upgraded like job system in the more like persona uh traditional style uh loop that'd be sick i can't wait i want to see more i'm very excited to play persona 6 in 2031 um when do you really think you get it late next year really that's part of the leaks like the bunch of leaks that came out everything that we have seen so far publicly confirmed and is lined up with all of that.

29:06And one of the things in that leak was Persona 4 Revival early February 2027 and then Persona 6 late 2027. I don't think it makes it.

29:16Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm going to say 2029. Yeah. 2029, yeah. I think they're aiming for late 2027. I don't think they hit it. I think they've been working on this game since 2020. I think it's time. I think it'll be 2028. I don't think they repeat the mistakes of Persona 5. and i think that's why it's been such a long time that we haven't heard about this game at all the mistakes being the delay or persona 5 being i i think announced like wait a little too early and then them like repeatedly delaying that game over and over and over again yeah i i would think because that's part of why i'm like oh they'll probably delay because they delayed persona 5 so far um and i also think that like you know persona 5 is still extremely successful despite the delays right like i think when you look back and you're trying to retrace uh what did we get wrong here with persona 5 like sure the delay i'm sure impacted them but at the end of the day it led to them releasing an amazing game and i think they would rather take their time with it as opposed to try and get something out i i don't i don't i just don't trust them i think they've been on a better trust you mother i think they've been on a better track record in the last few years specifically like the atlas wing of holding things close to the chest not revealing things until they're ready and confident of like when persona 3 reload was announced that was also at a xbox summer game showcase right and then that came out the following february they're repeating that here with persona 4 and the year persona 3 reload came out that was early uh that was like february that year and then metaphor came out in like october november later that year so i think they could do it again i also just don't want them to release two games called persona in the same year i don't think it matters because like it matters to me i'm not i'm not maybe not to them it matters to me just plus i don't these are fucking hundred hour long games i don't want to play two of them the same year again i did it with three reload and metaphor we fantasia and almost broke me you've had you've played four right yeah but you're gonna do the remake all the way through or you know reload yeah okay we got him for the uh you know the science of it all You got to see what they update for 2027.

31:20Because Persona 4. Yeah.
