Persona 5 Tactica, Mario RPG Remake, Ran...

Axe of the Blood God
About this episode

There are more Persona spin-offs than there are stars in the night sky but luckily most of them are pretty darn good! Listen as Kat, Nadia, and Eric discuss the Phantom Thieves' latest heist in Persona 5 Tactica. Even the Persona Q series gets some love! Good! It deserves it! Plus, Nadia takes us on a Geno Whirl-wind journey through Super Mario RPG.

Editor's Note: Yes, Kat's microphone cuts out at a certain point. But consider this; maybe it'll be something we can all laugh about ten years from now. And besides, the solution I came up with it cosmically funny and won't bother anyone.

Also in this Episode:

- Final Fantasy on N64! No way!

- Eric Got Through: Mellow Zone Act 1

- A social experiment involving Animalese
