The highly anticipated remake of Persona 3, Persona 3 recharge, finally released last week to critical acclaim. While it offers a generally faithful revamp of the original RPG, overall a few different changes were made.
In particular, in addition to quality of life improvements and adjustments to the battle system, more attention has been placed on the mysterious antagonist group Strega. Without getting too far into spoiler territory, Strega consists of a trio of Persona users (people who can summon manifestations of their personality to fight) with whom the protagonist and his group come into conflict with throughout the story.
in a new interview with PC gamer, Person The team's general producer, Kazuhisa Wada, confirmed that this is something he has wanted to do since working on the original 2006 game, on which he served as lead designer.
“Something I've wanted to do since we made the original. Persona 3but I never achieved it: I wanted to increase Strega's representation,” Wada revealed.
“They are a very fascinating and perplexing group of enemies,” he explained. “So I wanted to make sure that its backbone and ideology came across, and I wanted our fans to feel the catharsis of the story by delving into the subject matter.”
That being said, Atlus did not take the changes made in the new version lightly. Elsewhere in the interview, Wada explained that the developers “were extremely careful with which areas to change and how to adjust them.”
All in all, Persona 3 recharge It has generally been considered a hit among fans new and old. In my TechRadar Gaming review, I praised the gorgeous visuals and improvements that have been made to the overall experience, such as the “switch” mechanic in battle that allows you to take turns between the party when an enemy is downed. However, I criticized the removal of Persona 3 laptopthe female protagonist, since, although Recharge It is a new version of original RPG, felt that the character's inclusion should never have been considered as some sort of 'additional feature' in the first place, but rather as the standard that should be expected.
