** '''Implementation:''' The MediaNotes/ConsoleWars are also at play here, with ''[=DQXIS=]'' making the jump from Platform/PlayStation4 to Platform/NintendoSwitch (though a [=PS4=] port of ''[=DQXIS=]'' would later be announced) while ''[=P5R=]'' was originally exclusive to [=PS4=], with ports to Platform/NintendoSwitch and [[Platform/XboxOne Xbox]] [[Platform/XboxSeriesX series]] consoles planned for October 2022.

** '''Implementation:''' ''Persona 3 Reload'' would release first on the 2nd of February, with it being a generally more faithful remake of its original game -- remaining in the turn-based RPG subgenre -- while adding many quality-of-life features, expanded dialogue, and modernized gameplay that took many cues from ''Persona 5 Royal''. ''Final Fantasy VII Rebirth'' would cap off the month, releasing on the 29th, and continued its predecessor ''VII Remake'''s story, keeping the ActionRPG gameplay, while updating on and expanding new mechanics while also continuing to diverge from the original ''Final Fantasy VII'' in its own way. In addition, ''Persona 3 Reload'' would be a multi-platform release right from the start -- releasing on Platform/{{Steam}}, Platform/XboxOne, Platform/XboxSeriesXandS, Platform/PlayStation4, and Platform/PlayStation5, while ''Final Fantasy VII Rebirth'' would be a Platform/PlayStation5 exclusive at least upon release.

** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' Once more, Atlus clashes with Final Fantasy as both companies unveil a remake of one of their classic games in the same calendar month, February 2024. Both games use MediaNotes/UnrealEngine 4.

** '''Implementation:''' ''Legends'' was actually a remake/enhanced port of a game for the ill-fated UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast, and took itself far less seriously than ''Symphonia'', at least for the most part. ''Symphonia'' is an action-RPG that takes place in a world with some magitech and the normal fantasy races (elves, dwarves, etc.), while ''Skies'' is turn-based and has an Age of Discovery OceanPunk flavour.

** '''Implementation:''' ''Final Fantasy VII'' was a KillerApp for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation in 1997. ''Grandia'' was released for the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn in Japan later that year. Both games uses a different kind of SpritePolygonMix.

** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' {{Genre Throwback}}s to the [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]] generation of [=RPGs=].

** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' ''Final Fantasy XII'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are similar in gameplay, with both sharing MMO-like battle systems and world layouts. ''Final Fantasy XIII'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are similar in narrative and themes, revolving around humans rising up against Gods to defy destiny and fate. As for platforms, ''Final Fantasy XII'' and ''XIII'' were on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 respectively (with '''XIII''' also available on the UsefulNotes/Xbox360), while Xenoblade was exclusive for the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}.

** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' 7th-generation Japanese Strategy [=RPGs=] both set in fantasy [[UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 WWII]] settings.
** '''Implementation:''' ''Operation Darkness'' was developed by Success for the UsefulNotes/Xbox360. It features a traditional grid-based combat and a story about Nazi zombies and werewolves told from the perspective of a British SAS unit. ''Valkyria Chronicles'' was developed by Sega for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, and is set in a completely alternate reality version of [=WW2=]-era Europe, where Nordic beliefs took root instead of Christianity. Created by many of the minds behind Sega's successful ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'' series, the battle system is a cross between a traditional SRPG battle system and the then-popular Gears of War.

** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' The first [[UsefulNotes/TheEighthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames eighth generation]] installments of two incredibly popular console RPG franchises, and the biggest releases yet from their [[Creator/SquareEnix respective]] [[Creator/{{Atlus}} creators]]. Both released in late 2016.[[note]]In Japan, at least -- ''P5'' came out in April 2017 internationally.[[/note]]
** '''Implementation:''' ''Persona 5'' released on both UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4. ''Final Fantasy XV'' is eighth-generation only, and released on [=PS4=] and UsefulNotes/XboxOne. Before either game released, Square Enix sent out surveys to Japanese gamers asking which game the player would choose if both ''5'' and ''XV'' were to come out at the same time, suggesting Square is well aware of the growing popularity of the ''Persona'' brand. After a delay bumped ''XV'' back to release a few months after ''P5'', the latter's preorder sales jumped over 400% on Amazon Japan.

** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' The first UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, as well as main home console, titles to two major {{mon}}-based RPG franchises.

** '''Implementation:''' The UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars are also at play here, with ''[=DQXIS=]'' making the jump from UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 to UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch (though a [=PS4=] port of ''[=DQXIS=]'' would later be announced) while ''[=P5R=]'' was originally exclusive to [=PS4=], with ports to UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and [[UsefulNotes/XboxOne Xbox]] [[UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesX series]] consoles planned for October 2022.

** '''Capsule Pitch Description:''' The two oldest {{Mons}} series still ongoing are released one week apart in November 2021 on the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. Both of them aim to prove their series can work in HD.

** '''Implementation:''' ''Final Fantasy VII Remake'' is, as it's name suggests, a remake of a classic JRPG from 20 years prior, one that was hugely influential and responsible for popularizing the genre outside of its homeland. In addition to the expected visual upgrades, the gameplay has also been overhauled to be more "modern", with the resulting game being more of an ActionRPG than a traditional turn-based game. ''Persona 5 Royal'', on the other hand, is a more modest UpdatedRerelease of a much newer game that nonetheless plays in a very traditional manner.

** '''Implementation:''' The original ''Star Ocean'' was developed in part by the same people who made ''Tales of Phantasia'', who left their former team due to creative disputes. Both series are known for their optional scenes, that help the player get to know their party members better (skits in ''Tales'', private actions in ''Star Ocean''). Setting-wise, ''Tales'' are more on the {{Fantasy}} side, while ''Star Ocean'' leans towards pure ScienceFiction.

** '''Implementation:''' The UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars are also at play here, with ''[=DQXIS=]'' making the jump from UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 to UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch (though a [=PS4=] port of ''[=DQXIS=]'' would later be announced) while ''[=P5R=]'' is exclusive to [=PS4=].

** '''Implementation:''' ''Undertale'' is mostly linear with many branching paths, following a small child trying to escape form a strange fantasy world. ''Citizens of Earth'' is a very open-ended game with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, in which the Vice President of the world deals with an alien invasion.
