Axe of the Blood God: The Persona 5 Spoilercast

All we want to do is date boys.

Podcast by Kat Bailey, Editor in Chief

Updated on 24 March 2020

In this week's episode of Axe of the Blood God, we finally carry out our promise / threat of a Persona 5 Spoilercast, which we've been talking about doing for at least three years now [download link here].

Because I haven't finished Persona 5, I opted to sit this one out. Instead, Nadia, Caty, Hirun, and Eric star in this episode, which is timed to coincide with the impending release of Persona 5 Royal. They talk about the social links; lament the inability to date the boys; reflect on the ending, and compare it to the other games in the series (specifically Persona 3 and 4). Hirun and Nadia also share their opinions of Persona 5 Royal in a (non-spoilery) fashion.

Apologies for this episode being slightly later than most. We had a few technical difficulties, so I wasn't able to actually edit the episode until Monday. It's a good one though, so hopefully it was worth the wait!

Show Description

With Persona 5 Royal just a week away, Nadia, Eric, Hirun, and Caty get together for a spoiler-filled and in-depth conversation about the original game. They discuss Persona 5's history; social links; amazing soundtrack, and whether or not the ending ultimately works. Also, Nadia and Hirun chime in with a bit of (not as spoiler-filled) chatter about Persona 5 Royal. Does Persona 5 still hold up after three years? Listen and decide for yourself!
