Persona 4 Arena is out in arcades as of the first of this month. So what's next for the development staff? 4Gamer got some answers from Kazuhisa Wada, director on the Atlus/Index side of the game's development.
PlayStation Blog Japan published a series of interviews with creators that were conducted prior to the award ceremony of the 2023 PlayStation Partner Awards.
IGN: "Persona 3 Reload is a ground-up remake of the beloved Atlus RPG. With new voice acting, music, and updated graphics, Persona 3 is shaping up to be better than ever. We spoke to members of the dev team on IGN Summer of Gaming to learn more about it."
Nah, wait for the re-release with the missing FES and Portable content. Absolutely skip this if you are a new player and just get Royal or Golden.
P4 Golden is my favorite so if anyone asked me I would recommend that game first even though it will be a bit dated compared to P3 reloaded.
Not having all of the content for P3 by leaving out FES and portable content is extremely disappointing like Servbot41 alluded to.
Hopefully it’s added on at some point and I will wait for that most likely.
P3 FES was my first entry in the series and it’s been a great trip ever since. Looking forward to playing this remake.
In an interview with IGN, Persona 3 Reload producer Ryota Niitsuma and chief director Kazuhisa Wada confirmed that Persona 3 Reload only features content present in the original release of Persona 3.
That's... Kind of disappointing, not getting the FES stuff at least.
It's the opposite really.
The Fes Stuff(The Answer) was 30 hours of mindless dungeon crawling, for a barebones story that hurt what WAS a good ending to the original game.
The extra content from PSP however, namely the female protagonist, would have done nothing but improve the overall package.
It is but the main P3 storyline is still around the 80 hours so it is 60 bucks worth of content. And it is a big graphical upgrade. Compared to the original.
And i can see why they didn't add the female protagonist as they would have to do every cutscene twice. They did it on the psp version because there were no cutscenes(just still images) all that changed was the voice and text.
But maybe i don't care as much because it's a one month gamepass rental for me.
Same. Persona is actually my favorite in the series, and I'm hyped for the remake, but it's ridiculous to not include the added content and instead pull it out and sell it, yet again, down the road.
This is a remake. Not a new release. Just give us whatever content is already on offer.
@MadLad,
This exactly, there's no reason to not make this the definitive version with all of the content from P3P and FES, or at least the FES content. I really want to buy it, but I'm expecting a P4G or P5R type treatment in the near future, so I'll be skipping out on this for the first year or two.
It's bad enough that the original game's content was so fragmented with the Vanillia, Fes and Portable editions. I always feel like Atlus is nickle and diming us when they do this kind of thing, especially when it's shortly after the original releases.
Just so you know a lot of people didn’t like some of the content that is being left out.
@ghost
That would be an easy fix. Just make it that you can opt in or out of the extra content. Plenty of games have features like that anymore.
@GhostScholar,
You can just choose not to play it, FES did split the game in two, so you could just, not play the Answer, and P3P let you choose your protag.
Judging by the comments on a lot of news sites, most people actually want the FES and P3P content. It seems like it's only the minority who don't want the left out content.
