Atlus took every part it discovered from Persona 3 Reload and went all out for Persona 4 Revival, in line with collection producer Kazuhisa Wada.
In a transfer that was somewhat controversial on the time, Persona 3 Reload really remade the unique Persona 3 fairly than the expanded Persona 3 Reload launch. Some content material launched within the re-release ultimately made its manner into Persona 3 Reload due to the Episode Aegis enlargement (and some unofficial mods), however issues are completely different this time round.
Persona 4 Revival is a remake of Persona 4 Golden, not base sport Persona 4. So, why the change? We requested Atlus’ Kazuhisa Wada in regards to the completely different strategy in a chat from Gamescom. He explains “there was so much that we wished to do” with Persona 3 Reload, however because it was the crew’s first go at such a considerable remake, “we weren’t actually positive how a lot we might deal with.”

Finally, Atlus determined to easily deal with “making the bottom expertise simply the perfect it could actually probably be.” The Episode Aegis arc was a piece the crew thought might come “later as one thing when now we have the time to do it, we can provide it the remedy it deserves.”
Issues had been completely different by the point Persona 4 Revival rolled round, Wada says. “Marie’s story was so inherent to the principle story of [P4 Golden] that we could not launch it later” just like the studio did with Episode Aegis.
For context, the Episode Aegis enlargement serves as a type of epilogue to the bottom sport, making it fairly easy so as to add after launch. However Persona 4 Golden’s addition of Marie is laced all through all the sport. “So what we determined is, ‘Let’s take all the teachings we discovered from P3R. Let’s incorporate that in. All proper, it is time to roll up our sleeves and it is time to go and put all the trouble into making a full remake.'”
