Axe of the Blood God is our weekly RPG podcast hosted by Kat Bailey and Nadia Oxford. You can find the previous episodes here.
In this week's episode of Axe of the Blood God (download link here), we wonder how much is too much when it comes to Persona spinoffs. Then we talk about the everlasting love between John Cena and the mysterious stranger in the Final Fantasy XV Multiplayer Beta.
Obviously, I'm not surprised that Atlus is putting out still more Persona spinoffs, including not one but two rhythm games. They've all been well-reviewed and have sold relatively well. But at some point an endless tidal wave of merch and spinoffs starts to cheapen the original product. That's partly what today's discussion is about.
Also in this episode: The Final Fantasy XV Multiplayer Beta! ... Yay.
