This is a great example of a sequel improving just about everything about the original. The already fun gameplay has been tweaked just enough to feel markedly better than the first game, the story kept me much more actively engaged, especially towards the finale, where I think the original Battle Network falters, and Navi fights are all around generally better, with higher highs than the first game ever had. Unfortunately I do think the game does have two notable low points involving KnightMan and ESPECIALLY FreezeMan. That being said this is overall a great improvement on an interesting idea for an RPG, and knowing the next game is supposed to be even better has me so excited to see what Battle Network 3 is all about!!

This is a wild remake. It adds a lot of character to characters both previously explored and unexplored and changes the story in meaningful ways. Unfortunately I think this game does falter in places, primarily the fact that several sections feel really unnecessarily padded out, Chapter 17 being pretty especially bad with that. That all being said I do really really enjoy this game, and I'm unbelievably excited to see what Rebirth has to offer whenever I eventually finally get to it

i haven't played it it sucks

I bounced off this game years ago but decided to give it another go now that my taste in games has changed. I've gotta say, this game is awesome! I don't think it's perfect but there is so much soul oozing from this game and it is just damn fun. I very much look forward to trying out Solar Ash and Hyper Light Breaker!

Snappy and pretty to the point, I like it! And to talk story for a quick second, I knew going in that the likelihood of Sonon surviving this game were slim if not outright 0 but god damn I wasn't expecting the context behind his demise to be frankly terrifying. I know some people hate it but personally I think including Weiss and Nero from Dirge of Cerberus is both hilarious and something I'm glad they did! I think the FFVII compilation stuff has concepts that deserved a fair shot in actually good games and judging by the fact Nero has one of my favorite boss fights in the game as a whole, yeah I'm quite glad they gave these characters another go!

if i had a small budget, a few actors and a poverty level coder, i'd make this game too

side note: someone i was talking to called this potentially one of the earliest western visual novels and i almost threw up in my mouth

I fell off FES fairly late into the game so I was excited to finally finish P3 with this remake, and it did not be any metric disappoint. This game has fully reminded me of everything I about Persona after bouncing off 5 Royal a few times and very firmly places itself, at least currently, as my favorite Persona game, with themes and and an ending that I haven't stopped thinking about since I finished it in the wee hours of the morning. Fucking phenomenal, and the Episode Aigis DLC will be a minute 0 playthrough for me.
