Some of 4 hasn't aged well, but rather than judging the game retroactively I try to remember how it affected me when played. I'm a cis white male from a dominant socioeconomic ethnic group and hadn't really had to wrestle with many of the themes on show in 4, and I think it does a serviceable job at being pretty palatable ways of exploring identity, gender and gender expressionism, sex and the male gaze, etc etc. A remake should touch up some more problematic aspects like yosuke and Teddy, but beyond that- what a fucking game.
Story held me captured for close to 100 hours, the cast are great, the music is great, the combat is great- hitting knockdowns and getting One Mores is some Skinner box masterclass. Difficulty spikes are a bit wonky and the game had the Lotr rotk problem of having about 28373736363838 endings, but hard to fault beyond that.
