Footage of Jet Set Radio and Persona 3 remakes has seemingly leaked
Footage has emerged of what appears to be remakes of Jet Set Radio and Persona 3.
Twitter user AVtoGAMEnoYAMI posted a video on Sunday which shows Yukari from Persona 3 firing magical arrows, in footage that looks more detailed than Persona 3 usually does.
