The Persona 5 curse adds a beloved Final Fantasy game to its list of victims

Yesterday, Sq. Enix introduced that Conflict of the Visions Remaining Fantasy Courageous Exvius is shutting down after 5 years of service this Might. At first, it appeared like one other customary case of the corporate killing its tasks, however followers on Twitter have found a disturbing pattern that ties Persona 5 to quite a few failed cellular video games.

Certain, Conflict of the Visions is hardly the most effective Remaining Fantasy video games on the market, nevertheless it’s nonetheless unhappy to see yet one more Sq. Enix cellular title perish – particularly from falling to the ‘Persona 5 curse.’ If, like us, that is the primary time you’ve heard of the phenomenon, then ensure you’re sitting down as a result of that is some fairly surprising information. In accordance with X person Aura6425, a minimum of 5 cellular video games entered Finish Of Service roughly one yr after collaborating with Atlus’ JRPG.

Lo and behold, Conflict of the Visions additionally collaborated with Persona 5 just below three years in the past, so the free cellular sport managed to carry on longer than most of Joker’s victims, doubtlessly simply because it’s a Remaining Fantasy title. Because of this revelation, I came upon that my favourite rhythm sport, Love Stay, additionally fell by the hands of the Phantom Thieves, nevertheless it took a gaggle effort from Persona 3, 4, and 5 to take the sport down. It’s the small victories.

So what’s it about Persona 5 collaborations that causes cellular video games to crash and burn? Are the Phantom Thieves actually cursed, or is that this merely affirmation bias? Alchemy Stars, Id V, and Bang Dream might all be in danger, because of their earlier crossovers with the collection. Alongside all of this loss within the cellular sport sphere, we’re nonetheless ready for a Persona 5 The Phantom X international launch date.

If you happen to’re an avid Conflict of the Visions participant, you’ve received till Might 29, 2025, to benefit from the finish of this Remaining Fantasy sport. You will discover the complete particulars of its sundown interval on the Sq. Enix web site. Perhaps it’s time to provide Remaining Fantasy VII Ever Disaster a go as a substitute, or you’ll be able to watch for Remaining Fantasy XIV cellular to emerge from the shadows.
