I've replayed this game countless times, and i just have to say one thing:
Final Fantasy 7 Remake did not have to be a fucking trilogy, i swear to god people straight up took the statement of "ff7 in the modern age would be pretty difficult to adapt in one game" and just ran with it. They say shit like the game has all these "unique" environments, but like aside from industrial feel of midgar you cant tell me that grasslands, caves, snowfields, temples, and canyons are fucking complex.
"oh but ff7 just has alot going on storywise to fit in one modern game"
Ok so we cant have an actual retelling of the story but we can have 70 percent filler and time whisper bullshit instead.

After actually finishing the game i'm just going to type my thoughts.
Persona 3 has been a weird game to me, despite having undercooked ideas, slow pacing, and a few shit that goes no where narratively. I still have a soft spot for this game compared to the rest of the series. Story is not as good as Persona 2 and Not as fun as P5 but still has its good moments.
I've played every version of persona 3 (Vanilla, FES, Portable, and this version)
Is this the ultimate replacement for all of the other versions?
Nah, but it's the most fun at least.
I've played on Hard and it was fairly easy, there was never a moment where i had to go back and grind, so the only reason why i fought the regular shadows was to charge up the limit breaks.
Tartarus is the main highlight of the remake, rather than just being gradient swaps each block they look more visually appealing (except for the 4th block, that will always be known as the piss yellow block).
English voice cast is ok
-I prefer Yuri Lowenthal over Alex Le as the MC, Alex just has the generic emo anime boy voice
-Yukari's new voice is good until she has to get loud
-Junpei's new voice sounds almost the same
-fukka is objectively better because it feels like there's emotion in her voice
-Mitsuru is unnoticeable
-Akihiko is terrible
-and everyone else is fine
Also the answer as dlc is still fucking stupid. And no just because "it wasn't in the original persona 3" does not justify it because this game features content like aigis' sLink which was NOT in the original vanilla p3 , and no the fact that "people had to buy p3 again back in the ps2 days just to play the answer" does not also fucking justify it being a 35 dollar dlc for a 70 dollar game which is 105 dollars total.

Fuck Sega for taking content out of an old game and selling it for dlc, people who defend this shit along with the LaD infinite wealth dlc are the reasons why games have god awful dlc practices
Other than that the remake is ok, backgrounds are hit or miss, and some of the new music is whatever.
Game is easier than the og, and thats a good thing because i wanted to finish this quick
