While the female route had social links with all party members, the male route only had them with the girls.

The game may still default to AI, but most people will change that to manual and never look back.

Every single game in the series after FES has had the option, and while it did serve the purpose of making your party feel more like people outside of you, no one likes it when Yukari tries to charm an enemy instead of knocking them down for an all out attack. The female route offered a significantly different experience and, unless the two routes are made more homogenous, would require additional voice acting, animations, writing, and more.

However, I fully expect the female option will be the first on the chopping block to be cut, because, as much as I love them, that’s a very Atlus thing to do. Even though they do have personalities you can glean from dialogue options, you’re still the one in control here and you should be able to choose your gender. The character you inhabit in Persona games is supposed to be somewhat of a reflection of you. So, what will the remake need to become the modern, definitive version of the game? What are some realistic expectations, and some wild hopes and speculation for fun?įirst of all, this remake should be a combination of all the content from Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable including the female protagonist, party control in battle, social links with your party, and yes, The Answer as the post game. Lo and behold, Atlus West officially announced a modern remake titled Persona 3 Reloaded at the Xbox Showcase. If you’ve been paying attention to the series lately, you may have heard the rumor that a Persona 3 remake is currently in development. Despite its age, many flaws, and lack of a truly definitive version, it remains my favorite in the series for its poignant ruminations on death, great character development, and amazing music.

I’ve professed my love for Persona 3 multiple times on this site.
