Sadly Atlus has their hands full for the next couple years, they're working on PQ 2, the Catherine remake, just released the dancing games and have to keep supporting them, are working alongside arc sys for P5 Arena, and developing P6, wich by their track record, probably will come out in the next gen at the earliest. But it is in fact more likely that we will receive the remakes a couple years from now, when the hype goes down a little and they finally decide to stop milking P3/4.

P3-P5 is just a power fantasy P2 Duology is a masterpiece that is anti-empowerment because of the well executed conflict involved. The teenagers didn't feel like they got JoJo stands and actually participated in the conflict either as a reactant or the producer itself and the second part involved them as adults because in the first part they were too immature to solve the conflict, this is the plot without going into too much details. And Persona 2 Duology as a whole is the best RPG of all time in terms of writing.

I really like this intro. It's so densely-packed with meaning and even fits the tone of the game better than the original, in my opinion. All the tiny and subtle visual details that go by in a flash simultaneously communicate a ton with their abstract symbolism, as well as demonstrate how crazy and chaotic the plot gets. The ending then tops it off perfectly by adding just the right amount of melancholy, making strategic use of the few simple, yet straightforwardly meaningful shots. (This also serves as a great contrast to the abstraction and energy in the beginning.) The one thing I don't like about this intro is how it wastes time showing off the party's personas. It's not engaging or thrilling to look at like a proper action scene, and it doesn't really communicate anything other than "Look at these awesome designs! LOOK AT THEM!" But yeah. Overall, really well-composed intro. I'd love watching this at the beginning of every episode if it were an anime.

Omfg this is beautiful as one of the newer fans to persona, this makes me really excited to experience Persona 2 :)))

[@emissaryofcharybdis105]

The Persona 3 remake is cool and all, but man, why can't 1 and 2 get that treatment now? If nothing else, for the fanbase being able to experience them? Like a lot of Megami Tensei games, it's just a LITTLE fucking hard to play them nowadays.

[@raptorjetaXD2]

You say this because everyone must download a hack rom with the game in the language they want and fucking know which one they are playing? (I don't understand the difference between 2 innocent sin and eternal punishment) In addition to Atlus' little interest in releasing a definitive version for its game instead of releasing it exclusively for 1 console and then releasing a version with more things.

[@emissaryofcharybdis105]

@@raptorjetaXD2 They can be confusing, yes, but I was referring to getting your hands on the game through means other than roms. I was more making a comment on how not properly preserving games means when store fronts die, like the PSP's online store, and recently with the 3DS store and all the SMT games that are now lost to time because of it, you either have to get your hands on roms (and that's a shit chute in its own right), or you're at the mercy of obscenely bullshit physical copy sellers. Atlus has a massive section of their library that's just about lost entirely. So, if the base is clearly hungry for it, and they're not bothering with Steam ports, why not remake 1 and 2? Out of all the Persona titles, I feel like 3 already has enough love and attention - 1 and 2 need it more, if nothing more than to preserve where the series started/reintroduce it to people who haven't played them.

[@raptorjetaXD2]

@@emissaryofcharybdis105 I understand that and it is my personal crusade. I love the physical format and I perfectly understand that it is going to disappear and that more important than that is that despite the fact that some other shitty game is lost, that is the point that simply any game after a while is lost due to digital download Luckily for me, I still know a place where I live (Chile) that still sells games this old. In fact, the owner of a store showed me that he has the entire collection of the Persona saga up to the PS1 in Japanese version, and if the point in general is that Atlus is not interested in rescuing its oldest sagas and titles, Persona 1 and 2 has its It has been going on for years and for someone who wants to play the entire saga for 5 or the remake of 3, they will despise the first titles because they feel rough or bad in terms of gameplay or graphics. and it sucks that the preservation of those titles that, despite not being masterpieces in the history of video games and were the foundations of a future saga, for example the first fallout, but at least there was an effort to preserve those Titles (or then there is the option of Sega and Capcom releasing compilations of those games at a price of 30 dollars without changes)

I've heard that this game is a masterpiece, the opening is really good.

[@arowmorth]

Indeed it is an amazing game (maybe even a masterpiece yeah). The only downside there its an high rate of random encounters as its an classic JRPG (The only thing that saves from it is Estoma skill.). Well it comes to preference still but i for sure like new Persona\SMT visible enemy's on overworld better since im not much of classic gamer.

[@muhummadkhan5787]

You can like one without one without hating the other

[@McCaroni_Sup]

​​@@muhummadkhan5787Yeah but genuinely P5R's opening had subpar direction and animation. This one is surprisingly high quality for a time when few in the West knew who Atlus was, and Persona wasn't really a big hit yet. It's even more odd when you consider that the OG P5's opening is actually one of the best in the series.

[@muhummadkhan5787]

@@McCaroni_Sup yea I agree, I think it’s remake syndrome, persona 3 fes has such a banger song, but the laziest visuals I’ve ever seen. Also the theming of rebelling against society by establishment with bats is incredibly on the nose even for persona 5 standards

[@McCaroni_Sup]

@@muhummadkhan5787 The bad animation is my main concern, but you're right in that the theming of P5R's opening isn't really all that appealing to me. The original had a more grungy aesthetic that better fit the game. At least you can say P4 and Golden's openings reflected the philosophical and slice of life sides of the game respectively, but I'm pretty sure Persona 5 isn't about swimming in diamonds. Also I don't remember anything about the FES opening at all which is a testament to how low of a bar it set lol. Honestly, the best "remake" opening for the series barring Persona 2 is probably P3P. The visuals stick to the signature P3 style but are a bit cleaner. Personally I like how "messy" P3's opening looked because I feel like it better represented the game's atmosphere, but at least it didn't completely eschew it for a generic anime style the way P5R did.

You know, i feel like this intro was made to fit along the modern persona games (3 onward), they even made new intros for P1 and P2EP psp ports because 1 and 2 duology have a dark tone instead of a slightly brighter one.
