They're real, and I hate them

Why even loving make this thing if you're not putting the female protagonist in it. You had one job. There is no other reason to do this

But having the female protagonist would take development time away from adding in new out of place homophobic scenes!

Not really a fan of Persona stealing all the potential for other subseries. Did we need P5 Tactics over DeSu 3? The remade P3 is looking g suitably stylish though.

They did port it. Like come on do you really need to have it explained why people want an updated port of a popular game? I am disappointed too but you are vastly overstating the popularity of that route.

Not every popular thing needs a remake. This was an opportunity to finally make P3 complete (with the possible exception of The Answer, which I would honestly be fine with because The Answer sucks) and they appear to have just not taken it.

Reasons I want FeMC route:

-Better protagonist
-Better SLs (shoves Ken romance link out the window)
-October 4th
-Updated graphics for P3R would solve the main issue with the route (visual novel style)

Anyway, P3 aside.



I don't know if I care to play another P5 spinoff, but this is nice.

I'm a giant fan of the FemC route, but I'm still really excited for Reload. While I do think she adds a lot of depth to the party, Persona 3 is still my favorite game ever, even without her. It's not ideal, but I'm just happy to see the rest of the characters and story again.

What is different between this and the dozen other remakes that have come out? Like poo poo we got Dead Space and RE4 this year already and neither of those games needed a remake as much as P3 does

We have no idea how much is actually changing. It could be a whole lot.

Ibram Gaunt
Jul 22, 2009

Really as long as they touch up the stinker S links I think it'll be a drat good version. Most of them I think could be salvaged with a rewrite.


I hope things like being able to choose diff weapons and the tired/sick stuff make it back in though after being cut from p3p. Those gave the game flavor!

If Mitsuru doesn't cast the funny love spell to no effect then clearly the developers of the remake do not understand the appeal of the original game.

Also please don't force MC to date all the girls.

Like if you absolutely had to keep it to Male MC only for whatever reason, at least gut the worst paths of it. Because it actually does look really neat but I don't want to go 'okay, but...' when raving about it.

I mean yes I'm obviously gonna get the game with more Phantom Thief shenanigans, and I'm okay with it lacking the precious redheads because they're fairly isolated characters, but the P3 thing has me steamed.

or, well, gonna have to wait for them to not be Xbox exclusive anyways, maybe they'll have made Persona 3 Platinum or whatever they'll call it by then

I literally was talking to you in the FF7 Remake thread! That is what is bewildering. We know nothing about this except the trailer. They could be expanding it or revamping the combat system or making Tartarus not suck rear end. Calling people idiots because they might be glad to see an older game updated is extra odd when thr part that has you angry already came from the *second* updated version of the game anyway which itself removed the big bonus thing the first rerelease added!

Anyway, something about this aesthetic is not doing it for me. OG P3 looked pretty bad at times but this seems... off from what that game was going for.

No matter what, P3R is gonna piss off somebody. Either it'll be too faithful to the original and people are gonna bemoan things like the crappy SLs and the boss difficulty (which is noticeably harder than P4/P5), or they'll rework a bunch of it and people will moan that 'things were actually difficult back in the day, how dare you Atlus'.
