NEWS: Atlus Reveals 'Project Re Fantasy: A Fool's Journey Begins' Fantasy RPG

So the announcement of an announcement was just promoting some concept art?

I hope Project Re Fantasy isn't another generic JRPG. Atlus should be better than that.

So the announcement of an announcement was just promoting some concept art? I should have known that Atlus wouldn't show anything substantial from a new project while Persona 5 is still in its cycle.

At least the concept art is pleasing. I hope Project Re Fantasy isn't another generic JRPG. Atlus should be better than that.

I read a recent interview where it was said Atlus was planning on "challenging what modern day JRPGs have become", so I doubt it will be.

What is the next concept to tackle and address in RPGs? To challenge the norms naturally consumed by gamers for decades.

Until now, since the time fantasy went mainstream, Atlus has dared to create series set in contemporary times and cherished its stance of aiming to counter the typical. The series works from Persona 3 an onwards are the exact products of such thought. I had always held the thought that I someday want to challenge the traditional genre and deliver a title uniquely Atlus.

For the game itself, though not much information is available as it is in the earliest of stages of development. But a few things are apparent from the outset – it will be a complete departure from the SMT and Persona series, and a return to the roots of where the Japanese games industry began with fantasy role-playing games. However, as ATLUS has always challenged the prevailing styles of RPG design, it is at the core of Studio Zero’s mission to do this again, imbuing the traditional fantasy RPG with a distinctively ATLUS flavor.
