#I don't even like The Answer but it's canonical content that hasn't been accessible to fans since the PS2 so like COME THE FUCK ON

My progressive reactions to the Persona 3 Reload news/announcements

ATLUS: Persona 3 Reload is real, and it's coming to XBox Series X! ME: Fuck YES! ONLINE RETAILER: It's also coming to PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. ME: ...okay I wish Switch was getting it but STILL GREAT NEWS!! ATLUS: But it's only going to include the content from the worst version of Persona 3. No FeMC or any of her social links/unique characters from P3P, no 'The Answer' from FES -- just vanilla Persona 3, now prettier. Now you can debate which of these THREE versions is the right one to play instead of just debating TWO! ME: .....what the fuck. WHY would you do that. I mean... god, I guess I'll still pick it up. But in the wake of five years of exploiting the fandom's love for FeMC and the fact that The Answer hasn't been available ever outside the PS2, why— ATLUS: And that's not all! ME: Wait no, stop, I'm still re-aligning my expectations, give me a sec- ATLUS: Obviously we were gonna have to replace Vic Mignogna as Junpei for the English voices, but what if we told you that we've replaced the ENTIRE VOICE CAST in English— ME: ok so wut the fuc ATLUS: —despite keeping the entire Japanese cast the same?!?! ME: WHAT?!?!?! WHY?!!!!!!!!!! ATLUS: That's right! The cast of voices you've known in Persona 3 FES, Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Arena, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Persona Q, and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight? They're FUCKING FIRED! Now, all the characters you know and love will suddenly sound TOTALLY DIFFERENT! ME: .....are you telling me... that I won't hear Karen Strassman's perfect robotic-yet-increasingly-emotional Aigis... ever again ME:
