The old artworks are perfectly fine. I don't understand why they don't just use those. Lost assets? The artist not available anymore? The ones in charge of the remake having a bad taste?

Oh my god fuck that
Yeah... it's a "remake" for sure. Not sure if I want this.
The original artist and Headlock were connections to Radiata Stories, maybe they decided to break that connection just in case they want to make a sequel without them?

Sorry I just checked the actual Famitsu article.
Yes, first press versions of the game will get DLC to change character portraits to the chibi style ones designed by CHANxCO. They look pretty horrifying but cute. If you want the ORIGINAL DS portraits, you will need to buy the $100++++ LE. It includes a nice box, a full 2CD OST, a 100 page full color artbook, and a bunch of DLC stuff, most of which are undefined at the moment but including the ORIGINAL ART portrait DLC. Lol what a scam.

Generic animu characters kinda turn me off, tbh. But if it's a good jrpg i might check it out.
That's honestly a special kind of hilarious!

And here I thought P5 DLC/SE handling sucked. Atlus Janet shown us its true final form yet!
Edit: I really recommend folks just buy the DS version. It's cheap, it's great and not much changed here.

Wait, sorry if i'm misunderstanding something, but from what I read the first press versions of the game will have which artwork as the de facto one? None of them?

The new terrible one with free even more terrible chibi DLC. Enjoy.

WTF Atlus. I was thinking about getting this regardless even after seeing new Stocke and the lack of graphical improvement. Not anymore.
1. First press: New moe art + New chibi art
2. Expensive limited edition: New moe art + New chibi art + old regular art
3. Regular edition (after first batch sells out): New moe art
Really depends on whether they want the VA, difficulty options, and extra content. Don't know if I want this, probably won't get it. But if I hadn't played this before I'd definitely wait.

I wonder if the original art DLC would also include different portraits for the new characters. That would be... special.

Ugh...so basically no one will remember the original art in a few years time.

I mean... I'll support it so we have a chance for more. It's one of my favorite games of all time. But I'm seriously irritated about them fucking up Eruca
No, it specifically says new characters don't have old portraits.

I like the original character art but I was always annoyed that there was only precisely one portrait per character used throughout, even when the expression of that stock portrait didn't really fit the mood of the particular scene. If Atlus isn't even going to offer multiple portraits with the new art, they can take this "remake" and sod off.

Oof, the artstyle was not one of the problems this game had.

Man Eruca's original design was so good.
I hope they don't rebalance skills and things like that.

Kinda reminds me of how they changed the artwork for the characters for the PSP Star Ocean 2 remake (among other more really annoying things) and how it just made the characters look a lot worse.

Judging by the chibi DLC portraits up there, there are most likely various expressions this time around. There's that, at least.

Also it goes without saying but I'm ready to throw down $50 for this baby when it comes out in English.
Hmmm, was hoping for a new game as I had already 100% the game on the DS, but I'll take a new scenario.
Edit: Just looked at the new artwork, and yeah, a downgrade. It goes without saying that graphically it's better, but the style from the original is 100x better. It's a good thing there's DLC for that (hope it's free), but really, the original should have been in the game and the chibi crap should have been DLC. Like, c'mon, how did they look at the original and think "yeah, we should totally do chibi artwork of the characters."
Edit 2: Oh, the chibi crap is only free for the first print? And the good original portraits are only available in the expensive LE? lol

The game is amazing, easily worth buying twice...
...uh, yeah, on second thought, you've got all you need with that DS version.
What the fuck, Atlus?

What in the everloving fuck...
Wow what a shame. Her original design is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.
Also this "remake" doesn't look that much different visually???

Pretty good, I'd say. Atlus already has this mostly translated. Can't see them skipping over this.

So... keep the shitty RPGmaker sprites, change the awesome watercolor portraits?
They really did get it backwards, lol (though I don't think the sprites are that bad).
Part of me says that it's just pure ignorance on their part, and another part of me says they know exactly what they're doing by making the original portraits part of the LE, and presumably paid DLC later on.
I loved Radiant Historia on DS, so I'm gonna buy this, but certainly not day 1 at full price.
