39 - I have no idea! Never actually played one. Now that you mention that part again though - there's a game called Attack of the Friday Monsters right? Is it that?

Indeed my game is attack of the Friday Monsters. A great little game, but size is no sign of quality. And even though you can play it through in a few hours, it made a lasting impact about how cozy it is.

Correct on both.

It is Persona 4 indeed.

Indeed it is. That marks 10 games guessed by you

Change YoY: -1   My Rating: 9.2 / 10

I've been a huge fan of the Tales series since I first played Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube with a few of my friends back in the early 2000s. Over the following almost 20 years I've played through six other games in the series, and for quite a long time my two favourites were Symphonia and Xillia. I loved their worlds, characters, and stories the most out of the entire series, and they are still wonderful games in my opinion. For years those two . However, this finally changed when I got around to playing Tales of Berseria.

One of the elements that instantly stood out to me from Tales of Berseria was its main character, Velvet Crowe. Unlike just about every other main character in the series, she was motivated almost entirely by vengeance. She seeks revenge against a person who is seen as a saviour by just about everyone else in the world. In essence, in the eyes of the world, Velvet is the true villain of the story, labeled the Lord of Calamity, a moniker and role she eventually embraces as the truth about various events start to come to light. The story also takes things into some very dark and sad places at times, often because of Velvet and her rather fragile mental state. Now, other games in the series have, of course, taken dark turns in the past, but none of them have gone quite as far as Berseria. As a result, the emotional payoffs in this game are all the more effective and impactful.

The rest of the game, including its supporting cast, the story, battle system, and music are also among the series' best in my opinion. In an unusual twist, Berseria also made the previous game in the series, Tales of Zestiria, which is quite often considered one of the lesser entries in it, better by association, as the two games take place in the same world, Berseria serving as a prequel to Zestiria. The latter's story and characters gained much more weight and importance because they were connected to those in Berseria.

"Why do you think that birds fly?"

38.  Pandora's Tower?

35. Persona Q?

#38: LOL. Virus, not tower. All the other hints also point in a completely different direction.

#35: Correct on this one. :)

- You best have a pen and paper handy, as unlike the series that influenced this, any info you come across won’t be documented anywhere for you to refer to at any time.
- At various points in the game, you’re given a choice of which team mate’s plan you want to go along with. One leads to more puzzle orientated routes, the other combat orientated.
- Some fans would like this title to be revisited in much the same way the same developer has with the series that influenced this game. The developer has not relented so far, but did recently release a game with the same major characteristic.

32
- One of the unlockable characters in this game is a real life person, who happened to have their own, similar game released by the same publisher a year after this one.
- That unlockable character only had one game released, whereas the namesake of this particular title (also a real life person) has had several games bearing their name.

31
- This game launched a major franchise, but is not currently available to buy.

Last hint for this one.

#32: Sometimes it reports something of use, but usually the news-ticker makes little sense.
Hint 2: Most times, it reports something broccoli related.
Hint 3: Too bad you can't actually build a big broccoli, though there could be a growable that has something 'broccoli' in its name, I don't exactly remember. Guessed by haxxiy - SimCity 3000
