[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62544, member: 1"] Atlus has explained why Persona 3 Reload is getting downloadable content a month after it promised the game "offers a complete experience". Speaking to [URL='https://www.famitsu.com/news/202403/08336894.html']Famitsu[/URL], translated by [URL='https://personacentral.com/episode-aigis-interview/']Persona Central[/URL], Persona series general producer Kazuhisa Wada said plans to remake the Episode Aegis expansion have been in consideration since "the first drafts" of Persona 3 Reload but didn't start proper until the game was announced. This comes despite Wada promising in February 2024 that Atlus is "not considering a revision like with [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/03/29/persona-5-review']Persona 5[/URL] to [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/persona-5-royal-review']Persona 5 Royal[/URL], which involved significant changes and additions to the original title." Wada added that "fans can rest assured knowing that Persona 3 Reload offers a complete experience." Persona 3 Reload isn't getting one of these revised editions exactly, but it is getting a $34.99 expansion pass which includes background music from Persona 5 and Persona 4, new costumes, and the aforementioned Episode Aegis expansion. Wada said the initial ideas for remaking Episode Aegis — which was a 30 hour epilogue added to Persona 3 through an expanded edition called FES — were scrapped "due to various circumstances." "Even so, deep down, I couldn’t just give up on it, so even while developing the main story I kept searching for ways to make it happen," he continued. "After finally announcing Persona 3 Reload to the world, we received a lot of feedback from fans asking about the follow-up story. It was reassuring for us to share the same feelings, and having that support gave us the push to make it happen. I am truly grateful." It's unclear exactly when development on the Episode Aegis remake began, though it was certainly before the February 2024 "complete experience" reassurance.
