She once made a choice to live. Now, she’ll need to find the answer.The final chapter of Persona 3 Reload, Episode Aigis – The Answer – arrives in September ...
Be aware there are apparently some spoilers in the trailer for people who haven’t played Persona 3
I don’t own P3 Reloaded, but is this sort of like the additional content that usually comes in Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal? Shouldn’t this have been included in the P3 Reloaded release?
Episode Aigis (or The Answer in the west) was an expansion/epilogue to the base game. (In)Famous for its focus on combat and sparse story content.
The original release was pretty long (about 30 hours, I think) so I guess they thought it would be too much work to add it to base remake? Or they just wanted money, I dunno. It’s Atlus. They have a… special approach to game development.
But have fun! Kotone/FemC is great, I played her as my new game+ when I first played P3P, and it honestly made NG+ less of a chore because of how different her personality is compared to Makoto/MC. And her social links are great too (except…you know…)
The “dual protag” experience of Persona 2 and 3 is honestly so underappreciated imo. But Altus won’t do it anymore. I’m not bitter about this at all :clown emoji:
Yes the Ken romance is optional, you can max it without romancing him. But I think most of the playebase is usually disturbed at the fact that dating the 10 year old orphan is an option at all. I’ve spoke with a few Japanese fans about it, and while they’re more mild about the criticism, apparently it was still a bit “wtf” to some of them too.
But in the later games YOU get to be the adolescent dating an adult, so…uh…yay? I joke to my friends that Kenji from Persona 3 directed Persona 4 and 5.
Persona 5 and Royal is a bad example as both of those games are good and different enough to justify paying twice. The correct example is SMT V and VV.
I disagree. I love both of them, but I gotta say P5 is only fun once. It is way too dialogue heavy for a 80h game to replay and literally every side activity is boring on a repeated playthrough, hence I’d never have gotten to the actual Royal story content if I had played all of P5 initially. Yes, I could skip through most of it, but at that point I’m only playing a worse SMT with way too many interruptions and would potentially skip some changed stuff. SMT V on the other hand I see myself replaying anyways, should there be enough new stuff I’ll go for VV. It’s just pure gameplay goodness.
I feel like you’re technically right, but it’s funny, I don’t like SMT because I play Persona for that dialogue, so I’d replay a Persona game once every few years and pick all different S-Links, but I feel like desiring pure gameplay goodness and thinking about Persona at all is sort of antithetical to what makes Persona different from other games.
in that Persona feels more like it has dungeons and battling strictly to provide contrast and variety from the dialogue and not because it’s worth it in its own right.
I played through P5 & P5R and enjoyed both times. I’d probably go back to play it again some days because I feel like there is still more to see. I have played through SMT V once and I felt like I have already got everything. Couldn’t even bother finishing all 3 endings because the branching point is so late and so lazy. SMT V has some fun game play but it feels incomplete overall.

Awesome! P3R was my first Persona game, I’d love to get a continuation of its story.
Currently trying to get into P4G. It hasn’t gripped me quite as much, but I’m going to slowly continue - I’ve heard too many good things :)

Can’t wait for a Persona 3 ReMix: Kotone/FemC Edition, complete with upgraded and extended Ken romance route 💀
(jk Atlus doesn’t care about FemC)
This hurts twice as much since I’m just going through the FemC route for the first time. She’s great! (ಡ‸ಡ)
Sorry homie :,)
But have fun! Kotone/FemC is great, I played her as my new game+ when I first played P3P, and it honestly made NG+ less of a chore because of how different her personality is compared to Makoto/MC. And her social links are great too (except…you know…)

That’s exactly what I’m doing as well. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Ken romance optional? Granted, it might be easy to fall into but still.
Still need to go through P1 & 2, for now they’re just taunting me whenever I look through my game library…

It could also be Ken or the original MC considering his hermit social link. Man does Persona love their age-difference tag.
Gonna wait to play this till the definitive edition is out. Learned my lesson with Persona 5 and Royal.

P5 and P5R are both bad examples of games in general with P5R being slightly better since they toned down the anti-UX aspects of the UI.
