Damn... That really sucks to hear, since the strategy involved in changing party member's Personas and the dungeon designs were some of my favourite parts of the classic Persona games. As long as they don't force any of the new gameplay systems like Social Links or the date system onto a potential Persona 1 and/or 2 remake, then I'll be happy. (I also hope they don't butcher the music like they did with the OG Persona PSP port, but I somehow doubt they won't.) On a more positive note (“let's positive thinking!”, as Maya would say) — what are some of your guys' favourite Personas? My all-time favourite is probably Robin Goodfellow from Persona 2 just because he's so silly, but Gabriel and Nike from Eternal Punishment are also so, so cool and attached to such a fantastic character. (Elly is my GOAT!!!) Callisto is also a great one — I think it's so fun how much they leaned into the BDSM element of a lot of Persona designs in Eternal Punishment and... I would say I wish they would do that more, but they don't do adult playable characters so I guess it wouldn't be possible. Hastur from Eternal Punishment is also incredibly cool and the method used to obtain him is so, so creative. Seriously, look it up. Joker from Eternal Punishment is really cool as well — the idea of an almost virus-like Persona that's intentionally designed to mock Tatsuya is incredible, and the different stages of it are all horrific. The Ancestor Personas are similarly fun in the idea that Nyarlathotep created them just to piss Tatsuya off specifically. What a dick. Yamaoka being Nanjo's Ultimate Persona is so heartwarming and yet so sad — the idea that he left such an impression on his charge that he manidested as a Persona through the Sea of Souls is just perfect. Some other favourites designs of mine are: Alice (P2:EP), Durga (P2:IS), Eros (P2:IS), Gaia (P2:IS), Hades (P2:IS), Maia Custom (P2:EP), Nyarlathotep (P1), Nodens (P2:EP), Philemon (P2:EP), Venus (P2:IS), and Vesta (P2:IS).
