Meaty mash up
It’s a good day when I can just sit and write several articles aboutPersona. The last bit of thelengthy interviewwith Katsura Hashino, followingtalk onPersona 5,Persona 4: Dancing All Night, andPersona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold, centered on the chibiP3/P4mash upPersona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth.
After starting on collaborative worksDancing All NightandPersona 4 Arenawith outside developers, the team thought “doing one within the company itself would be neat in a sort of oblique way,” Hashino explains. “We’d like to hope that by bringingPersonaandEtrian Odysseytogether, the ensuing chemistry between the two series will result in something that fans find to be really immersive.” A fitting union to celebrate Atlus’ 25th anniversary.
Hashino also said that, “if you play both thePersona 3andPersona 4characters’ respective stories to completion, it’ll be like playing two whole RPGs altogether.” Sounds hefty as heck. I’m sure Dale will be up for it.
And here’s the complete and final version of the interview[Pepsiman Tumblr]
