Looks like the definitive platform for persona remains, as always, The Play Station Vita.

They explain the twist of Persona 5 for like 15 minutes after the fact, and I still don't know how it's supposed to work.

Boo no FeMC and boo on yet another New Spinoff Girl that will probably have the same story as the rest of the New Spinoff Girls.

im wondering how much fes/p3p stuff is gonna be carried over in the 3 remake... maybe theres just no femc or the answer but still the random other bits??

cock hero flux posted:

to be honest I have very little faith because in the 2 rereleases they allowed the player to prevent/undo two of the major character deaths in the game, which pretty substantially weakens the story I think

they didn't do that in the 2 rereleases?? unless im getting mixed up but, p2s releases are faithful to the og games minus a few lil bells and whistles

they're referring to rolling back shinji's and chihiro's deaths, which was already kind of tacky

doing the same to the protagonist would definitely be a bridge too far

I legitimately think they made the decision to wholly recast for mostly pragmatic reasons. Like, we're getting rid of Vic, obviously. Strassman probably needs to go too, even if her case is a lot less pressing. Michelle Ruff can barely hit the Yukari register anymore. We already recast Fuuka and Ken. That leaves Akihiko, Mitsuru, Shinjiro, and the MC, if you count him. At that point, you might as well just make a new start.

When they remake Persona 4 will they recast everyone there too, including the characters that were already recast, giving Naoto four different VAs?

I like P4 a lot more than P3, but the prospect of a P4 remake is incredibly cursed, and not just because the new wave of Discourse would blot out the loving sun with its dark energy

If they're not including the FES/P3P content (other than I assume mechanical changes), then no way to save Shinjiro or Chihiro, I guess.

The site posted earlier has the same JP VAs for the three "revealed" characters, so I would assume they're all the same.

Gotcha. I wonder if JP dub will be included initially or as dlc.

On top of this, Liam O'Brien is probably too expensive now. Basically none of the actors who hit it big with Critical Role do much dubbing anymore. I agree that they probably just decided to do a clean sweep and do a full recast, like the FFVII Remake, rather than pick and chose who they wanted to try and keep around.

I am curious about side characters, though. Igor is always a weird one to predict because of the unusual circumstances around that character. And Elizabeth, of course, is vital.

Yeah I guess most of the known VAs in P3 are fairly big names now. It was just a bit weird for me because Allegra Clark was in the same game as Tara Platt (Three Houses), but it's hard to say how much Atlus pays their VAs and Nintendo probably had a lot more money to throw at VAs for a Fire Emblem game.

It's occasionally a bit weird because you still occasionally see promo vids with Sam Riegel as Teddie and Matt Mercer is still obviously Yusuke, but yeah, the last thing I'm aware O'Brien was in was Nier Replicant

He was Kain in Dissidia and Gill in Street Fighter, so I guess his last dub role would be in 2019.

The Persona 3 remake will probably be fine, and because it doesn't have the female protagonist which as the main thing that made Persona 3 special and fun for me I won't be tempted to buy it. Some people get to enjoy a thing, and I get to save money, seems like a win-win.

You know, I gotta respect the decision to recast everyone rather than pick and choose. Clean slate and all that.

Well since the Persona 3 remake and Persona 5 thing got leaked early I really wasn't expecting a surprise trailer for noted vaporware game Project Re: Fantasy.

Looks a lot more like a fantasy skinned Persona 5 than I was expecting, down to the main character seeming to have some kind of stand/persona, social links, having an on-screen calendar with some kind of deadline countdown in the top right, etc. Story reminds me a little of SMT 4.

Not sure if I am a fan of the art style it seems kind of busy

It really wears its Persona 5 bones on its sleeve, that's for sure.
Something else I'm really looking forward to with a new P3 cast is maybe the audio will be properly de-essed this time. Mitsuru my god your S sounds hurt me so bad

I feel like that dead horse has been ground to a fine paste long ago. There's not much to say about it at this point, it was handled badly and everyone either acknowledges that or will always refuse to acknowledge it.
