Believe it or not, it’s been 18 whole years since the last Dragon Ball TV series, which makes me feel kinda old now that I think about it. While DBZ is still arguably one of the best anime of all time, Dragon Ball GT was overall pretty disappointing and I usually tend to avoid thinking about it if I can help it. Fortunately another series will launch later this summer to wash away the sour taste left by GT, or at least that’s what I’m hoping for. There’s no way of knowing just how good this new series will be, but we do know that it’s coming this July and we also have a name for it -Dragon Ball Super. Certainly not the most inspired of titles, but I guess it will have to do.

Word on the street is that the new series will initially air on Fuji TV, with the network’s producer stating that “As I read the plot [of the series] I’ve already received from Akira Toriyama, my dreams for this begin to expand. An enemy even stronger than Buu or Freeza may appear…” As I understand from the few details available right now, Dragon Ball Super will be a direct continuation of Dragon Ball Z and may completely ignore the events of GT. According to the source, the series is set to take place some years after the defeat of Majin Buu and our heroes will be forced to battle a foe stronger than the pink villain in order to maintain the hard-earner peace on Earth.

If DBZ taught me anything is that each new major enemy has several transformations and a power level that’s wildly higher than the previous foe. I guess we can expect something along those lines for Dragon Ball Super as well. That’s just speculation though, so take it for what it is. As for our heroes, we can probably expect to see the return of Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks and other Z Warriors. However, there are no details just yet when it comes to the cast of characters so we’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, a new movie called Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ will be released this summer and it, too, takes place after the Majin Buu saga. In light of this recent news, I suspect that the movie might serve as a launching pad and possibly a tie-in for Dragon Ball Super.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
