I don't know it just seems odd. Atlus doesn't mess up this blatantly on power scaling and they're actually quite specific on stuff like these weirdly enough more or less. It's like how OG persona users could just blatantly switch out Personas and it never happened again unless you were specifically wild card. They had every chance to give Fusion spells to Aigis in the original,P4 and P5 Protagonist but they didn't. Oh and the OG could do fusion spells albeit with the help of 2/3 party members.

Honestly feels like someone just included it for the sake of including it.

No clue as to why they didn't give it to Aigis in the original Answer, but I think the reason why only the P3 protag could do so alone was due to having death inside of him for so long. Its usually the answer to why he can do most stuff better than P4 and P5 Protags. I assumed they didn't want to give it to Aigis in order to keep the Answer difficult.

Why do you care so much for power scaling? Like the person said, Aigis is practically barrowing his power, it's still his. She also doesn't attain the universe arcana, meaning your power scaling still puts Makoto above. I'm sure they just added the theurgy to make battles more enjoyable, because at the end of the day, that's pretty much most of what you'll do

But this pretty much confirms that this was cut from the game to sell later rather than being something developed later as an expansion. This had been planned for a long time, meaning when they said that they wanted to only focus on the main game was just a fat load of lies.

Why sell a complete expereince of something we got years ago when you can just chop it up and sell us in pieces.

Because consistency and summoning two personas at once is a big deal considering no one has done it even back on Persona 2. Atlus could have just put that in the original answer if they wanted it it's just simple code but they didn't.

Sure it could be gameplay enjoyable reasons but if they're willing to sacrifice lore for that then they truly have skewered standards now.

I mean does it? The Answer is coming out a solid 6 months after they announced it and 7 months after the games release. That seems like quite a bit of time for them to work on considering the Answer is basically Tartarus only with a bunch of assets already done for P3R.

Going off that. I'm assuming The Answer (Episode Aigis) is probably $20. This is going off of the prices that are currently listed for BGM packs and costume packs.

It's still in development, I highly doub they have it ready already, I agree it's really soon tho, it does make you wonder if it couldve just been part of the base game. Considering Atlus's re-release practices however, a 25$ dlc isn't the end of the world, it could've been far worse

I mean fair enough if it means that much to you. Aigis being able to summon 2 personas or using theurgy isn't massively skewing any lore, it's still just her practically barrowing makotos power. Even if she were to be able, it wouldn't change the why or how

The expansion pass is oficially 3,850 yen, which is 25EUR, idk where these news sites even get that information from when the official website says otherwise

Its Polygon. I would rather trust IGN even with their bias reviews more than Polygon or Kotaku. That said, they all seem to agree that its $34.99 right now. No clue as to where they got this from tho.

P.S. Hell, Kotaku's current article is proof enough of why I wish there was a way to black list sites from google searches. If people thought youtube clickbait is annoying, I really despise Kotaku's overreaction article titles.

I disagree but whatever.

Well, it has already been confirmed that the thing has been complete for quite a while and they are just delaying the release to try and extend the life of the game.

So is it a dlc or? It's not stated in the trailer
