I am ready for a Persona 3 Reload remake, personally.

 

[Mephisto40]

I'd rather they just made a new game tbh, these games are such a slog to get through, I honestly just can't get excited to play through one i've already finished before story wise

Please, don't give Atlus any more ideas.

Please, don't give Atlus any more ideas.

But for real, think about the output of Atlus right now compared to their PS3/PS2 days when we had years of silence.

We're eating pretty good nowadays.

I prefer a remake of 2, had enough of the school life.
Currently playing through P3 Reload, and its exhausting.

I think 3 is just missing a lot of the elements that made 5 more fun. The lack of palaces for example. Tartarus is really repetitive and it was a bit in Persona 5 too, but Persona 5 had palaces. They did a good job of giving you more reasons to go into Tartarus in P5.

I think Persona 5 also had much better social links, particularly since the social links are people you tend to know better rather than just randoms around town/school.

Persona 5 also handles the calendar a lot better with deadlines.

Persona 5 also had better cutscenes and better music. From what I hear the game gets much better later in the calendar year. If I recall I'm in July or August.

It's so true! We've gotten Persona 3 Reload from them this year, and then SMT5: Vengeance and Metaphor will drop later in the year (oh and The Answer DLC for P3R, too).

I also think we'll hear official news about Persona 6 sometime after Metaphor releases this fall (late 2024 or early 2025).

We will get P6 eventually and Metaphor is not that far out but I agree that P4 doesn't need a remake.

From a financial perspective, the series didn't really hit mainstream until Persona 5. A lot of us never played the other games. It makes a lot of sense for them to remake them, I just think they need to put more QOL enhancements in the games and make sure they're feature complete without nickel and diming.

I probably wouldn't buy P4 remake day 1, I'd wait for a sale or a complete edition.

Can't wait for Metaphor. Even if it turns out to be "just Persona but in a fantasy setting", I'd be more than satisfied.

Might be an unpopular opinion since I haven't really taken the time to see what others thought about it, but personally I've gotta say they delivered in *spades* with Reload. I'll even go as far as to say that it's better than the original. The only aspect I find better is Yumi Kawamura in the original, but that's that. I could feel the love for the original every second of my 70 hour playthrough. It's evident there are multiple teams over at Atlus as Reload and P6 have been in the works almost simultaneously. If the Reload team can do the same for Persona 4, then by all means, go ahead. I'll be playing.

 

[StueyDuck]

Persona oversaturation is very quickly becoming a thing...

Same with yakuza... these devs need to chill on these ip cause they are quickly going to be ignored if there's so much of it

 

[NeverYouMind]

I still play the original P4 and don't think it would benefit greatly from a remake. Would love to have a complete Persona 2 in an updated package. That PSP intro never fails to hype me up for playing the game.

 

[AmuroChan]

No brainer to be honest.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Okay we can add P1 to the list of remakes that Atlus will be working on (P2 and P4 already mentioned in the OP).

She explicitly says remake instead of remaster. Oh fuck. I never played 1 and 2 (I guess like the majority of Persona fans?) so I'd be super down for them, especially since I heard that 2 has an awesome story.

They already doing that and its coming out this year.

2 has a really good story/villain, it will be good

I only played P2 Eternal Punishment but yeah the story was pretty cool and did NOT take place in a damn high school. It was mainly let down by its slooooow ass battles and punishing dungeons.

Actually P1 had a pretty cool and trippy-ass story as well.

If I'm being honest, this is my most anticipated game of the year.

Same for me. Really looking forward to playing this and watching how it unfolds.

 

[Danjin44]

For as me as well, I have been waiting for this game for a loooooooooooooooong time.

Back then it was only called Project Re Fantasy.

Cmon bro. You don't like dating sims in your JRPGs.

 

[sigmaZ]

I tried playing the first half of P2 when it came out on PSP but found it an absolute chore. It also prominently features characters and references stuff from P1 which I hadn't played.

If all three games are available I'd give the it another shot after finishing the first game.

The first two games are hard to get into due to dated QoL issues, but when they hit, they hit hard story wise.

 

[Ferdimage]

Cmon bro. You don't like dating sims in your JRPGs.

I did when I first played Persona 4 back in 2009, but now at 42 with kids I want something abit more mature.

Protag already asserting dominance by never taking off his gloves for a handshake.

 

[Celcius]

I’d love a P4G remake since I never played it. I thought about buying the current Steam version but they did such an amazing job with P3R, I’m going to wait for the remake to be my first play through.
