Full Price Remake Persona 3 Reload Will Be 'Complete' with Episode Aigis DLC, Says Producer | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Persona 3 Reload is a full price remake of a PS2 game that released in 2006. On one hand, it's an excellent revival. On the other, you'd probably expect such a game to definitive — but it isn't, because it's missing additional content that was added through re-releases.

A slice of that content, originally titled The Answer — an epilogue that was included in Persona 3 FES — is being recreated as Episode Aigis, and it's going to be paid DLC for Persona 3 Reload in September.

Now look, if Reload is anything to go by, Episode Aigis should be a great expansion. But it's hard not to feel as though Atlus is taking the p*ss when the game's producer, Kazuhisa Waza, weighs in with this gem: «with [Episode Aigis], Persona 3 Reload will be complete».

That's a quote from the 'Developer Message' that Atlus just released, which you can watch above. It also suggests that Reload won't be getting any additional DLC once the expansion is out (not that we were expecting it anyway).

How do you feel about Episode Aigis? Should it have been included from the start? Give Atlus a knowing look in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

The one that it should've released with in the first place? I'm glad I haven't bought this game at release. I love Persona but I don't trust Atlus.

Does this Aigis DLC include the option to play as the female protagonist? Or is that unknown?

This entire charade has been disingenuous at best. Not only has it been an excuse to milk yet more money, but they've managed to accomplish making a full 'definitive' remake, despite insisting this was some sort of faithful remake of only the original; And the net result is they've managed to avoid including
