Grind Time: The RPG Show: Episode 1 – Persona
Update: Did you miss our first episode? We've got you covered. We've included the full episode below.
Original Story: I fell in love with role-playing games when I was young, and my devotion hasn’t faded. I love playing them, and I love interacting with community members and hearing their thoughts on beloved franchises and the genre as a whole. During various live streams and Replay chatter, I’ve seen others pine the same way, asking for more discussion and RPG streams. Your enthusiasm hasn’t been ignored. Therefore, once a month we’re going to have a live show devoted to certain franchises and topics in the RPG universe. We’ll look back and forward, wax nostalgic, discuss the state of the genre, and mostly just share our passion about why we’ve been drawn to certain games.
This show is just as much about the community and hearing your thoughts, so we’ll be taking questions and noting interesting observations made by viewers along the way. I’ll be hosting, but we’ll also have special guests and cycle in different staff members to join the conversation each episode.
Our first episode debuted live yesterday May 7 and focused on Atlus’ Persona franchise. We played through parts of Persona 3 and 4, discussed our favorite moments, the franchise’s pull, and its future. Check out the video below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
