Now, less than a full year after launch, the game is on sale on Valve's digital market Steam, opening a window of opportunity for those who missed out on it to give it a try and sling a few spells.

Siliconera Sunday, February 4, 2024 3:00 PM Best Persona Character       The Persona series has always had a wide cast of characters. Whether you loved them or hated them, they often left an impression. Below, we've made a list of who we think could be the best Persona character in the series. Feel free to let us know what you think in the comments. Don't get mad at me, but Yosuke from Persona 4 is the best character. Why might that be? I think he's a character who undergoes a lot of growth. He starts out hypersensitive about what people think about him and wants to prove himself as somebody worthy of attention rather than derision. He can be rather bigoted over things he doesn't understand, and many of his jokes come at the expense of hurting other's feelings, but as Persona 4 progresses, he learns how to let go of his prejudices and become a genuine friend. He's loyal, goofy, and always striving to do the right thing. He's a dumb teenager, but he's also a dumb teenager who cares about others. Also, he has a disco frog as a Persona, and that's really neat. — Arielle I might get flak for this one, but my favorite character in Persona is actually Rise Kujikawa from Persona 4. I know, at first glance, she's the typical pop idol, but her story really resonated with me. At first, Rise is a bubbly celebrity who beams with energy. But then we quickly learn that she's actually struggling with her happiness and the image she has to project for others. I think a lot of us can relate to this idea of having to act "happy" for the sake of others. Her arc is emotionally impactful to me because she eventually finds her voice and starts to live for herself and not others. And while I usually play with Japanese audio, I actually think Laura Bailey did an amazing job voicing her in the English Dub. — Brent For all I go on and on about Akechi in Persona 5, I think Kanji from Persona 4 is the best character from the series. He's kind of a goof and gets a bit too much flack from Yosuke for no reason, but I think he's such a sweet character with lots of cool and hilarious scenes. He can do it all! I like how he got more comfortable with himself as you progressed through his storyline and his dynamic with the other first-year characters. Kanji deserves better! — Stephanie I like Shinji a lot in Persona 3. To be clear, especially in Persona 3 Portable and during the Kotone Shiomi route. He's had to deal with so much, but he's still fighting and doing all that he can to cope and make amends. (Even though he honestly didn't do anything wrong, and what happened wasn't his fault.) Aragaki is great! — Jenni The post Best Persona Character appeared first on Siliconera.

Utilizing each of the items and pieces of gear you come across on your journey in the Forgotten Realms is crucial to maximizing the power of each of the characters in your party.

Siliconera Sunday, February 4, 2024 12:00 PM Characters We'd Like to See in Granblue Fantasy Relink       After 8 long years, Granblue Fantasy Relink is finally here and playable, with a sizeable roster of characters set to be added with post-launch content. But with a cast so large, who exactly will Cygames add? Here are a few of our picks. Black Knight and Orchid Image via Cygames Apollonia, the Black Knight, plays an important part in the earlier arcs of Granblue Fantasy's story. First as a menacing adversary working for the Erste empire and later as a begrudging ally. I've been asking, nay, begging Cygames to add her to Versus since it released, but she could be just as interesting to see implemented as characters in Relink. In the mobile game, she uses a mix of dark magic and swordplay, which serves as an offensive mirror to Katerina in her abilities and character. She's also Eugen's daughter, though the two have a rocky relationship that's often a source of drama. Then there is Orchid, not to be confused with Orchis, who is a different but related character. She and Apollonia have a similar relationship to Katerina and Lyria: a mysterious girl with no past protected by a sisterly knight. Orchid would be especially interesting because she fights using a stand-like automaton called Lloyd, who ensnares foes with puppet strings. The Angels and Primarchs Image via Cygames The Angel characters were introduced in the story event 'What Makes the Sky Blue,' starting with coffee aficionado Sandalphon and the elemental Primarchs Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and Gabriel. Each of the Primarchs governed one of the four basic elements, like fire and earth, before giving up their roles, while Sandy, at one point, 'borrowed' all of their powers at once. Their fighting styles also vary greatly. While Michael uses several conventional weapons, Uriel is a bare-knuckle brawler, and Raphael can strip his body into ribbons. Their natural flying ability could also make for some abnormally mobile movesets, or let them strike a wider area with their attacks. There are also several other angels like Halluel and Malluel, Saruel, or the notorious innuendo-magnet Belial, who showed up in Versus not once but twice. Any of these would also make good choices for characters in Relink, though I'm not sure how much more Belial the universe can handle. The Six Elemental Dragons Image via Cygames This group of characters began as bosses before becoming playable, and each can take both a dragon form and a mortal guise. Their personalities are as strong as their powers, and their overflowing curiosity makes them fun to see bounce off the other characters. I'd love to see switching between their various dragon and mortal forms implemented in Relink, especially characters like Wamdus and Ewiyar whose respective forms are very interesting interpretations of 'dragons'. Meg, Nicholas, and Robomi Image via Cygames The next two characters reacted very differently to being mostly normal people in a fantastical world. For example, Meg just wanted to vacation at the beach before the annual Granblue Fantasy Summer events, and the accompanying giant fish monsters drove her mad with stress. Retreating into the mountains, she honed her body into a weapon capable of protecting her beloved beach, and she also had a flying shark named Ursula on her arm. Her story events are hilarious, and she'd suit a very mobile playstyle very well. Nicholas, on the other hand, adapted slightly more healthily than Meg. Upon discovering an army of invading creatures, he used his engineering knowledge to create Sentai suits, high-frequency blades, and giant robots to defend his family. He and the ancient anti-creature robot Robomi would suit a playstyle built around ridiculous special attacks and mecha transformations that would play very differently from the other characters. So these are some of the characters we'd like to see potentially added to Granblue Fantasy Relink. Who would you like to see? Let us know in the comments!

Siliconera Sunday, February 4, 2024 9:00 AM Persona 3 Reload Makes the Reaper More of a Threat       I wasn't afraid of the Reaper in most iterations of Persona 3 prior to Persona 3 Reload. I played every version, mind you, both for work and fun. But because of the way that I played, I didn't fear Tartarus' greatest foe. Persona 3 Reload made me genuinely fear the Reaper. Okay, so, in past games I always go for efficiency when exploring Tartarus. Especially after getting through the first 100 floors, because by that point I'm sort of done. I don't want to waste time exploring. I'll probably even forget to rescue people who wandered in by that point. I just want to reach the next wall so I can go back and do the daily life stuff and see the story. This means I never really encountered the Reaper unless I was trying to. If you aren't lazing about, that boss isn't going to show up. In Persona 3 Reload, other elements culminated to make an opponent who didn't see unless I was really looking for it before turn into a genuine threat. It first happened around November in-game. I was going in a bit more often when not engaging in daily life due to finishing the Mutatsu and Tanaka social links. I realized that if it was a darkened floor, the Reaper was not only more likely to appear, but would show up more quickly.  The first time it happened, I was about two "rooms" in when Fuuka warned me the Reaper was here. I didn't see the red marker for the enemy on the map and there wasn't the telltale red haze at the edges of the screen, so I figured there was some sort of mistake and made a note for my review to point out there were inaccurate alerts. But then after a fight with a normal enemy, I came out of that to see that yes, the haze was there, the Reaper was there, and it was right behind me. Worse, this version of the Reaper was smart. As you may or may not know, the Harabah block of Tartarus has a disco sort of feel to it, with winding paths and circular spaces. I figured, "Oh, I will run to the right, get the Reaper to chase me, then make a full circle to go back around. Except the AI for it seemed to realize that and doubled back to continue a close pursuit. Screenshot by Siliconera However, what really got me about the Persona 3 Reload Reaper is that this time the dude follows up us stairs. (It's me, I'm the reason Google probably started autofilling "Persona 3" Reaper follow another floor.") I ended up consulting with two fellow Siliconera writers with equal levels of familiarity, DMing them at a late hour going, "Yo, could the Reaper climb stairs before?" It was such a shock when in December Fuuka suddenly warned me that after escaping the Reaper on one floor, the enemy was still right on my tail. Especially since the game then cut to an animation at the entrance of that floor showing that yes, my "friend" was here and wanted to catch up. I dashed to the next fast travel point I was aware of a few floors up, afraid that the Reaper might suddenly decide to tag along again.  It really added to the intensity of the experience. While I don't like the idea of fighting the Reaper in any Persona 3 entry before I'm ready, the execution in Persona 3 Reload is pretty good and helps establish the opponent as a true threat. Persona 3 Reload is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.  The post Persona 3 Reload Makes the Reaper More of a Threat appeared first on Siliconera.
