Persona 4, coming out in Japan for the PS2 on July 10.
I remember back in the summer of 2001. I had graduated high school and was accepted into the Art Fundamentals program at Sheridan College, having missed out on their legendary Classical Animation department by quite a wide margin. One of the last days I spent in the US that summer was spent hanging out in Manhattan after attend kung-fu lessons in Tribeca. Deciding I'd like a game to play while I was over there, I ducked into a Gamestop near the corner of E 8th St. and Broadway. I made a beeline for the PS1 games, as I would only be able to bring my mid-generation Playstation with me on the trip (don't laugh, it's got the gold PSM magazine smiley lid sticker.) On that fateful day, I picked up two games, and made a very hard choice: do I want a turn-based strategy game based on Journey to the West where Sun Wukong turns into a giant monkey and kicks ass, or an RPG that takes place in modern times where people call on the mythical beings within them to kick ass? I ended up picking Persona 2: Eternal Punishment that day, and the path my gaming life took was decided.
Our audience for Spoiler was awesome at the first NYAF, and the con has invited us back for next year. And because this con comes before AnimeUSA this year, the premiere of Spoiler: the Panel: the Sequel: the Panel will be in the NYAF's very nice, very big panel rooms.
Our first and favorite con has offered us a three-hour slot in the Main Events hall this year, to combine our popular Kingdom Hearts panel and our ninja-panel on Final Fantasy. We'll be doing Spoiler, too - come check us out!
