Persona 3 Reload’s The Answer DLC Shows How The Series Should Do Epilogues

I have complicated feelings on how the Persona series (and the Shin Megami Tensei series at large) handles its updated “definitive editions.” Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal are undoubtedly the best versions of their respective games, adding dozens of hours of new story, characters, relationships, and bangin’ songs. However, Atlus has opted to include all that delicious new shit woven throughout the original game, meaning that to see some of Royal’s best stuff, you have to play through the entirety of Persona 5 again. This means little to those who wait until the definitive editions are out before playing a Persona game—but for people like me who jump on a new one the second it’s out, playing the entire game all over again has always been a big ask. – Kenneth Shepard Read More
