Guaranteed the answer dlc development was essentially done when reload launched. They couldn’t plan, design, and build the answer that fast waiting for a good fan response to reload. This is atlus. (I love atlus but they take their time)

They definitely had some of it done but I buy that they put it on hold until they saw if it would do well

[@Erikthedood]

They essentially admitted they started working on it during P3 reload’s marketing phase but wouldn’t have finished it by the time the base game released, but didn’t want to leave it out of the game as they saw how fans were clamoring for it to be included, so as a compromise they decided to release it as DLC later as their goal.

@@AlmaHeartfire I'm cool with paying for it. Vanilla P3R has enough content on its own that I don't think charging for DLC (especially when said DLC is reportedly a whopping 30 hours) is all that unreasonable.

[@EmeraldHearts1]

I've been saying, ever since I finished P3R (plan to get the dlc eventually, when I have extra wiggle room in my budget lol) that I REALLY hope that people acknowledge the voice acting in P3R when award noms start coming out. Everyone is so good in this game but, honestly, one of the standouts for me is Zeno Robinson. I've always loved Junpei as a character, he and Akihiko were always my top two fave characters in the game (Shinji and Saori from P3P close behind) but Zeno's performance as Junpei has been a big like- example I give when I tell people that someone's take on a character can sell it for people. There's people I had to convince, who found him annoying at first, to give Junpei a shot- I would tell them how he has one of my favorite development arcs in a game. But there's others who found him endearing at first in Reload, and its BECAUSE of the take Zeno got to have with the chsracter. Not to mention that his voice acting for his big scenes with Chidori in late November. That scene is so well-voice acted by everyone, but ESPECIALLY Zeno. You could tell how much he loves Junpei with his voice work (especially since hes said that Junpei's his favorite) and I'm still incredibly glad he got to voice him.

So I understand them wanting to keep Tartarus randomly generated in the base game in order to preserve the feeling of the original, but I really feel like they should have done mode with the dungeons in this. the dungeon crawling is the entier point of this DLC, THIS is the time to break out the hand-crafted dungeons. Or at the very least I would have liked to see more set pieces. Also, I remember that people were PISSED that The Answer wasn't in the base game. When this DLC got announced, I looked up a bit of what it was about to find that it was met with a resounding "meh". I was very confused

[@PatManDX]

People were just annoyed with having to spend the extra money, and that it wasn't included in the original, regardless of the quality of the content. People REALLY wanted that definitive P3 experience and Atlus kinda dropped the ball (even if it was due to very understandable budgetary and development scope reasons.)

[@clowntown5220]

@@PatManDX it was because they were selling a Deluxe edition that was supposed to include all DLC, low and behold the aegis pass comes out and it is not considered DLC that was included in said edition which was only mentioned after the fact. I don't believe it was a "atlus dropped the ball" as much as a scummy move on sega's part. DLC looks fantastic so make your own decision when it comes to spending, I just hope that the persona series isn't gonna be held hostage by sega for us to approve of their shitty tactics, or make atlus suffer due to most of us hating the decision.

Cuz it ain't exactly the best feeling to suddenly be met with an unexpectedly large angry mob yelling about how the things that nearly made you tear up just a couple hours ago are such "watered down garbage made for wussy snowflakes", they may as well consider it the greatest gaming sin of the 2000s 🙃

[@knotknight514]

I'm glad i found this comment cause this is what I'm afraid of. I haven't beaten the normal story yet, although I think I'm close to it. And I'm just worried that when I get to this and beat it, I'll enjoy it like I expect myself to, only to look online and see everyone complaining that it's "too soft" or whatever the buzzword is at the time. I already struggle with constantly worrying about if my opinion is "correct" or not already. I don't want to have played this, loved it, and then be told that my own feelings are wrong because I played the wrong version or whatever. Even if I haven't had an opportunity to play the original.

[@veeshadow]

This DLC is very similar to KH3's limit cut. If you love the combat, The Answer/Episode Aigis is worth your price and time. The dungeon crawling, Persona compendium, Theurgies, and party members kit are pretty much better than the Journey/Makoto side, especially Metis is OP for that reason. But for the story, nothing differs with just adjustments and more social links. So it's up to the players to buy it or not. Waiting for sales/discount is also fair way if you don't like the price.

[@The_Chocolate_One]

I will never believe that ATLUS didn’t intentionally plan this. Because like let’s be serious here…ATLUS’s track record of rereleasing stuff months to years after the initial release of a game is pretty intact. I’m just sitting here waiting for the inevitable rerelease of P3R: Full Clip including FeMC (coping hard here).

[@AlmaHeartfire]

They were working on the answer while reload marketing was happening but they couldn't finish it before release so ez paid dlc

[@Miriam_J_]

They actually spoke about this. They said Femc would have to be added in another version, but that version would be very far off if they did it. At the same time, they said that it would have needed to release alongside episode Aigis for it to happen. They said they know that fans don't want them to just be working on remakes, so it seems like they're really moving on after this. He does end the question with "I don't think there's any possibility to make it happen in the future either". I guess if SEGA specifically really wants it, they might still do it, but I doubt it. (Article with interview can be found at Persona Central. I'd link it but I don't think KZbin allows that)

[@fakenayhn]

Reason why ive pirated every altus game ive played.

[@Angie-ji7be]

I thought so too but tbh if that were the case, they would have dropped Episode Aigis way earlier than September. It seems to me like atlus/sega higher ups genuinely weren't expecting P3R to sell as well as it did (for some reason) and just really underestimated how many new players were interested in a P3 remake. Wada talked about budget constraints in interviews before, and it always sounded like sega just gave them the short end of the stick instead of letting the team pursue their already watered-down vision for P3R by excluding femc. As for a femc rerelease, Wada interview aside, that was already seeming less likely as more rumors about P6 and other remakes started popping up. Given the scope of a Reload-style femc route, I'd believe it if Atlus' current production schedule just can't afford to squeeze that in any sooner than in the next decade...

[@SuzuStarlight]

Finished the DLC last night and oh... oh the feels. I only ever played Portable so I didn't know much about The Answer (I read some plot details on the Wiki in passing but that's about it), but I gotta say I am pretty happy (in a "bawling my eyes out bc why do you have to traumatize these beautiful children even further" kind of way) with what we got here. The gameplay worked well (I didn't even notice the spike in difficulty even though I played both the main game and DLC on Normal), but I sure was glad they gave us the additional little character moments because I found myself missing the social sim parts of the main game dearly after hours of mindless dungeon crawling (I even paused my playthroughs for a few hours to finally clear RE4's Separate Ways DLC as a palette cleanser - which is saying a lot, considering how much I love the P3 cast). I agree that it would have been even better to have the new character interactions voiced as well, but I assume that they had to give up on that due to time/budget constraints. Even if most of the enemies and combat was recycled, I'm pretty sure development consumed enough time and money already. As for Joker... cool job, but I don't know if I'll ever try that fight again after him wiping the floor with me yesterday 😂 I was like: Yeah, nah, I'd like to know how the story ends in this lifetime - other than that, I found the challenges mostly fair - I did have a few game overs, a few seemingly endless battles and a few Armageddon-Spams bc I was getting so tired of the fight, but as someone who tends to prefer chill experiences over challenges, it did seem solidly balanced.

[@24hr-Gaming]

Exactly. It's people with their brains turned off. But it's weird because I only played FES and at the time I already knew it was a re-release of P3. But a lot of Persona fans clearly never actually played their own game because Reload is built on top of the changes that were already made in P3P. Reload is more like what P3P should have been instead of the absolute garbage that came out.

The one thing I will agree on is for $35 if they were going to market The Answer only through an expansion pass is that there should have been a lot more. When you consider the DLC P5 got, they could have put in more effort into what Reload got. Something like the challenge battles that P5R got would have been really nice, especially if it included one more super boss.

We will probably see more DLC than rerelease in the future. Atlus is a company that often listened to fans, Persona 3 reload was only made because fans asked for it. Atlus knows people are tired of the rerelease. Even if the price is high Episode Aigis will probably sell quite well because 3 reload was such a big success and because of how popular Aigis is. So this is a test for P6 and P6 will probably get a DLC story expansion. Side note: I don't hate re-releases there are both pros and cons to both re-releases and DLC. But most Altus fans are just tired of re-releases so DLC is a better option right now, That may change in the future, but DLC the best for now

[@24hr-Gaming]

It's kind of a shame because I prefer physical copies. I think what they should do is when they release the upgraded version of the game, they should just let people who own the original version either download it for free or buy it at a cheap price. I am hoping Episode Aigis will get a physical release, but if it doesn't happen I'm not surprised. I also think that argument is very passive aggressive (not you, but people arguing against re-releases) because almost all the people who say re-releases are a scam are also calling for Reload to get a re-release and are whining about Episode Aigis being DLC. People really are just stupid. Atlus should just go more with what sells because people who actually buy the game are real consumers, not whiny people on Twitter.

[@joopvanhedel1372]

@@24hr-Gaming I have nothing against re-releases either. There are things that rereleases can fix that DLC simply can't and there are things that DLC can do that rereleases can't, one is not better or worse than the other. but a large portion of Atlus fans are tired of rereleases so we'll probably see more DLC in the future. A game that I think deserves a rerelease is soul hackers 2, it is not the greatest game but it does a few things very well so a rerelease can fix the bad parts

[@Namingway248]

Its certainly on their mind but it may well depend. On one of the fan surveys I did for them (I'm part of atlus' fan emailing lists) they had a few questions regarding preference for re-releases or dlc. It's likely if the international results said dlc is a better way to go, we will see more of that direction. Personally, I actually really dislike it. A re-release can thread new characters and plot points throughout the entire game while also adding new content whereas dlc as a rule doesn't usually interact with the main plot. This means you can never really touch up the main game in a meaningful way. It doesn't seem like other people see it this way though.

I haven’t seen one of your vids in forever, so I kinda forgot your joke vibe, and for some reason Velma just standing there, menacingly, in the background at 4:50 without being pointed out made me break laughing out loud and I don’t know why! Glad the algorithm told me you’re back, Buns!

I was just watching a P3R review video and then you uploaded, welcome back queen!

[@TheEnder515]

Ye gods! The stars of aligned and our O so Starchy Mother hast blessed us lil' crumbs with a SECOND VIDEO in the SAME MONTH?!?!?! Jokes aside, tho, congrats on the sponsorship! Can't think of someone who deserves it more than you~

[@SapphireLibra3]

It kinda makes sense that Aigis would only have a single sad expression, when you consider that she _is_ a robot. Yes, a robot with a soul and full sapience, but a machine nonetheless. That may be as far as the technology could get with her expression wise in universe.

[@babula1965]

So, what you're saying is, if I complain loudly enough, father Atlus will hear me that I want P3P remade so we can have a definitive version?

[@zidarose]

Love that you got sponsored for that. Very likely to get The Answer when I beat P3R.

[@Eg-ej6nx]

Im just kinda sad about the Yukari change honestly. I feel like the illiterate nerds who hated her won and it resulted in an ultimately watered down portrayal of greif and the messy behaviors that such a thing can bring out of people. Like when she apologized to aigis at the end it didn't really feel warrented compared to og where some actually out of pocket stuff was said. Idk it just rubs me the wrong way that such emotional vulnerability and anger was shelved for the sake of her likable brand. Just kinda took me out in comparison to og. Still understand why they did it, and like most of the new changes, but that one in particular really got me in a doomer mood ngl. Edit: Thanks for the likes. I did not expect the rest of the thread to turn into a P5 shuake roast but tbh I kinda agree lmao. That ship is overrated and also doesn't really matter because the whole point is that they are just objectively better as best friends and partners in crime who could never really be since their life circumstances took different turns. Boiling it down to just a romantic vibe diminishes the vibe imo cause now it feels superficial rather than genuine and meaningful. I like lgbt rep, but shuake kinda sucks rujixjoker is just kinda better anyhow.

Seriously I knew they'd defang her in response to the blatant misogy people felt towards her character and especially considering one of the bigger issues with Yukari (the fact that every one of her character moments center around men in her life) was never remedied.

[@7evan]

Great now we'll have complaints that she's not mean enough. I've often said P3 fans are the hardest megaten fans to please and boy ain't that the truth sometimes. Btw I completely understand your gripes and you're allowed to feel them. I'm just tired because it seems like everytime someone complains about something in the P3 brand they have a really good point and thus arguments continue with no end in sight and I just wonder if anybody will ever be satisfied with anything P3 related. Ugh

[@PatManDX]

While I agree, you have to keep in mind that the original localization for the Answer really made Yukari a lot meaner than the original Japanese. The Reload version is closer and more accurate in comparison (or so I'm told). I was told that FES Yukari's attitude was a lot more of a slow boil that doesn't explode until the Colosseum battles. That said, I do miss the last bit of petty desperation we see from her in FES, and I'm a little sad they took that from us. I don't think either version of Yukari is bad, I do miss abrasive Yukari myself even if it's inaccurate to the source material, but don't think it's fair to say it's JUST because people who had poor media literacy won out or that Atlus got cold feet (can't deny that those were possible factors, but I'm just saying there's other things at play that are likely more significant). You gotta remember, Yukari was "toned down" in the main story of Reload too, for the same reasons of how the original localization was inaccurate. It's just one of those subjective things. It's weird to think that the modern western P3's understanding of Yukari was informed by some divergent localization changes from the 2000s, accompanied by some SERIOUS misogyny from the fandom from back then. That being said, I hope someone mods in some of the older FES version of the scenes (Yukari's last desperate attempt, some of her meaner comments (even if they need to be re-voiced), and the one cutscene that was a lot more morbid in the original).

@@7evanidk what’s worse. P3 fans hating Yukari in the answer or seeing P5 fans get mad because they are told Akechi and Joker aren’t gay but it’s Akechi finally having a friend and enjoying what he missed his whole life

BABE WAKE UP NEW SUPERBUTTER- oh wait a live alone

[@Bi0mega]

Yeah, I have a hard time believing they made a 30-hour expansion in, what, 5, 6 months, just because the fans liked the base game. Atlus has been screwy when it comes to their DLC practices for years and them playing coy with releasing The Answer for more than half the price of the base game makes no sense at all. Especially for us who pre-ordered the special edition with the statue, who are now finding they need to fork out even more cash for DLC that should've been available with the SE to begin with. And I say that as someone who's been Ride-Or-Die for the Shin Megami Tensei series since 2000!

Bread mom signed the contract and became employed by the velvet room (don't think I didn't notice the tie). Thank you for the video. It almost makes me consider getting the game, but I am still waiting on my protagonist from p3p becoming available as one of their "GIMME YO MONEY AGAIN LOSER" DLC packs before even so much as taking a look at the price tag.
