Persona 4 Revival Producer Teases Character Changes

Persona saw a big presence at Anime Expo last weekend, featuring a dedicated booth, panels, and merchandise to promote the series' 30th anniversary, as well as the upcoming Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6.

The staff behind P4R was also giving press interviews, and one comment by General Producer Kazuhisa Wada has been drawing attention. Speaking to Anime Corner, Wada discussed some changes that would be made to parts of the game, particularly with regard to one specific character.

Wada emphasized that while the core of the characters remains unchanged, adjustments have been made to ensure the game is more relevant to today's audience. Specifically, Yosuke's portrayal is being refined to be more considerate and suitable for current times.

Despite these updates, Wada confirmed that key social links for characters like Kanji and Naoto will remain untouched at their core. The potential for exploring new storylines, including relationships, in the remake has sparked excitement among fans.
