It's been 5 years!
I had to wait 10 years for DMC5, you can wait for another Persona game. Just keep yourself busy with P5: Strikers. I don't know why you are this surprised and impatient. If you're a Persona fan, you know how this usually goes.

I can hope can't I? I've got plenty of games to play in the meantime. If Square announced something major was coming could i not HOPE it was something I wanted?

The female leads look like the power puff girls. Is that a intentional design choice or purely a coincidence?
It's more of a coincidence, but you are not the first to make that statement. Kyoko looks like Blossom, and Misako looks like Buttercup due to the slight change and modernization in art style. This is fan art, but this is what the original incarnations look like. As you see, there were here long before PPG became a thing. Funny enough, there are some people that consider River City Girls the best Powerpuff Girls game ever made.

Huh I wasn’t aware it existed in the 90s

You're not the only one. The Kunio/River City series has only been localized with a few games here and there. Most of them with re-written scripts or changed story lines. It wasn't until the early to mid 2010s, that gamers started getting better and faithful translations of the franchise. You can thank Arc System Works for that, after buying Technos Inc. in the early 2000s. They definitely became a big benefit for the franchise.

I played a little bit of River City Ransom on NSO/Switch and while it wasn't my favorite game ever liked the cool little open world nature of it (especially for an NES/Famicom game). Probably would have played more if I'd been in the mood to grapple with the 1980's systems/UI. That's not meant as a diss, I've found a lot of NES games don't feel like they've aged as well as their 16 bit counterparts.

You're not the only one. I never cared much for the River City/Kunio titles, aside from the straight up arcade, nor-RPG hybrid games. I will say the remake on GBA and 3DS are better and have an easier to use system and UI. I thought about getting River City Girls (it is on sale btw), but I think of just waiting for 2, because Marian is now playable for the first time (not counting the Neo Geo tournament fighter), and they have a character from River City Underground.

Hmm.... Avengers NFTs, FF14/16/7R PT. 2 NFTs, Kingdom Hearts NFTs, Outriders NFTs.

And here I thought broken launches, people supporting broken launches, and microtransactions were gonna be the next big trend in the industry. I wonder what's next? Premium access just to get hotfixes and patches?

Yeah, Squeenix can now all get dropped in to a pit of spikes and razor wire. If they even think of putting NFTs in FFXVI, I will not be buying.

I actually can't wrap my head around on how can NFTs exist in a singleplayer game. Is it putting a price on a unique item found for each player, and everyone is putting price on the said items? Sounds like DRM, since it'll require online connections
