After I buy the DLC Expansion Pass, does I can play The Answer now?

I'm getting confused with the announcement that they have 3 waves release. The 3rd wave is Wave 3 - New Expansive Story Scenario, “Episode Aigis -The Answer-”, does it mean "The Answer" or sequel to "The Answer"?

It's a... remake of "The Answer". The reason they don't call it FES is, I suspect, it doesn't include the FES content added to the base game, like the new arcana.

No, if you buy it now you will only get the first set of music tracks.
You'll need to wait till September to actually be able to play The Answer content.

P3R does have contents from FES like Aigis SL, secret videos, talking Korumaru for walk, secret event for Chidori, etc.

Telos and weapon crafting also ware available since FES and not vanilla, the only downside of Reload that MC can't use different weapon-type other than single hand katana (i think it's because of direct control, it would be really imbalance if Reload allows MC to equip more weapon type), the reason behind not naming FES because FES refers to PS2 version, also idk why FES stand for Festival instead of For Everyone Soul according to Hashino, the director and producer of FES

anyway i prefer Reload because it sounds cooler than Festival, so i agree Reload has content from FES The Journey and including upcoming The Answer
