That's... Kind of disappointing, not getting the FES stuff at least.

Nebaku469d ago

It's the opposite really.

The Fes Stuff(The Answer) was 30 hours of mindless dungeon crawling, for a barebones story that hurt what WAS a good ending to the original game.

The extra content from PSP however, namely the female protagonist, would have done nothing but improve the overall package.

VersusDMC468d ago

It is but the main P3 storyline is still around the 80 hours so it is 60 bucks worth of content. And it is a big graphical upgrade. Compared to the original.

And i can see why they didn't add the female protagonist as they would have to do every cutscene twice. They did it on the psp version because there were no cutscenes(just still images) all that changed was the voice and text.

But maybe i don't care as much because it's a one month gamepass rental for me.

-Foxtrot469d ago

Of course

They'll include it in a future Persona 3: Reload +

RpgSama469d ago

Yep!, Will be skipping this at launch while waiting for the "Royal" edition.

MadLad469d ago

Same. Persona is actually my favorite in the series, and I'm hyped for the remake, but it's ridiculous to not include the added content and instead pull it out and sell it, yet again, down the road.

This is a remake. Not a new release. Just give us whatever content is already on offer.

FinalFantasyFanatic469d ago (Edited 469d ago )

@MadLad,
This exactly, there's no reason to not make this the definitive version with all of the content from P3P and FES, or at least the FES content. I really want to buy it, but I'm expecting a P4G or P5R type treatment in the near future, so I'll be skipping out on this for the first year or two.

It's bad enough that the original game's content was so fragmented with the Vanillia, Fes and Portable editions. I always feel like Atlus is nickle and diming us when they do this kind of thing, especially when it's shortly after the original releases.

GhostScholar469d ago

Just so you know a lot of people didn’t like some of the content that is being left out.

MadLad468d ago

@ghost

That would be an easy fix. Just make it that you can opt in or out of the extra content. Plenty of games have features like that anymore.

FinalFantasyFanatic468d ago

@GhostScholar,
You can just choose not to play it, FES did split the game in two, so you could just, not play the Answer, and P3P let you choose your protag.

Judging by the comments on a lot of news sites, most people actually want the FES and P3P content. It seems like it's only the minority who don't want the left out content.

Disappointing to be real with everyone here.

gold_drake469d ago

Magic_Spatula469d ago

Eh. Guess I'll just go and replay the PSP version.

Palworld is better, but Nintendo has$$$$ They can fight it all they want, but will absolutely lose. It is a blatant Pokemon rip off. I do wish them luck though.

RedDevils2d ago

Go check Dragon Quest you would know where Pokemon got their ideas from.

MeteorPanda2d ago

The character design is NOT the issue here. Pokemon patented bullsht. You can patent "Throwing an item to capture a virtual character and another action to release an item that releases a combat character onto virtual world" but my god that is vague as fuck and shouldnt hold in any court...and the kicker? it was patented AFTER palworld was made.

If this lawsuit goes through that is literally going to work on every single monster capture game,

Lionsguard2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Like the other guy said, this has nothing to do with any of the designs. This is Nintendo patent trolling. It's like Rockstar suing another game if they have a guy opening the car door and yanking them out to steal the car because that's why you do in GTA so therefore that game is infringing on GTA's "patent". And that's the reason why Pocketpair is fighting this because if they lose this opens the doors to MORE lawsuits of this kind.

Profchaos2d ago

Weren't the wire models used in palworld ripped out of Pokemon in the end?

porkChop2d ago

No they weren't. That was proven false. And, again since people don't seem to understand, this is not a copyright lawsuit or about stolen content/assets/designs/etc. It's a patent lawsuit. So far all the possible patents I've seen were filed by Nintendo 4 months *after* Palworld released.

Profchaos2d ago

Then I have no clue what this is about specifically

--Onilink--2d ago

The catching mechanic patent was filed even before Arceus was released, I dont know which ones you have been watching because all the ones I’ve seen were before Palword came out
(Though not all have been approved in the US yet, just in Japan)

porkChop2d ago

The patent for the catching mechanic was filed July 2024 and granted August 2024. It was filed on top of a separate, "parent" patent that had been filed in 2021. Nintendo filed new patents and had them expedited just so they could sue Pocket Pair/Palworld.

MeteorPanda2d ago

it's so dumb. if that patent holds any water in court - any monster capture game is done and gone. cnts.

NotoriousWhiz1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

Source that says it was filed in July? I couldn't find it. And everything I can find states that it typically takes around a year or more for patents to be approved.

On behalf of their money seems like the biggest reason

Kneetos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

People want Nintendo to lose as a big middle finger to the company, but if Nintendo wins then they set a precedent for others to follow which could be bad for Nintendo themselves if they end up infringing on a patent owned by someone else

The one I'm reminded of is, a few years ago Sony patented something to do with AI controlling a characters moments in a game to "help get past difficult or grindy parts" of a game

Mario kart 8 deluxe had a the auto acceleration and auto steering technology implemented, so potentially if that came back for mario kart 9 could possibly open the door for Sony to sue them if it's close enough
