Scarlet Nexus even has a bestiary in the menu that tells you more about each other and shows off the design. Juxtaposed against the characters that are very clean-looking anime characters and the art design gets high marks from me. They’re unusual looking and that’s one of the things I found most interesting about them. Many of The Others show up as various objects mixed with nature or distorted designs of creatures you might find in other JRPGs. Quite frankly, I find the design to be refreshing. I’ve seen some criticism about the design of The Others. Regardless of who you choose, you start out as a new recruit for the OSF, a special military specifically for people with extra-sensory powers created to combat creatures created by human’s use of said powers known as ‘The Others.’ The Others are shown terrorizing the city but as the media shows up, along with OSF soldiers, it’s treated as more of a game as soldiers make quick work of their foes and people idolize their OSF heroes. Both protagonists have psychokinetic powers but I started out playing as Kasane Randall, the female character. Scarlet Nexus puts you in control of either a male or female protagonist set in a fictional timeline where some people are born with extra-sensory powers due to a special hormone in their brain. MonsterVine was provided with a PS5 code for review Platforms: Playstation 4, Playstation 5(Reviewed), Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series X, PC Which is why I’m so surprised at how Scarlet Nexus turned out. More importantly, it was an original IP that had nothing to anchor it down or prevent the creative minds in charge from designing exactly what they wanted. With a big backing by Bandai Namco, higher-up involvement by two key members of the Tales of team, and absolutely bangin’ art style, Scarlet Nexus was shaping up to be the biggest non-remaster JRPG this summer. It has all the trappings of something that would grab my interest. It’d be a lie to say I wasn’t anticipating Scarlet Nexus.
