Persona 3's Episode Aigis DLC has left me with plenty of unanswered questions

Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis DLC raises more questions than answers, with familiar gameplay but leaving doubts about its story significance.

: Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis DLC brings back familiar elements while introducing new content like a time-loop plot and new characters. Aigis becomes the protagonist, but the lack of typical daytime activities might detract from the game's appeal. Despite improvements, the DLC feels overly familiar and raises questions about its necessity.

Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis DLC revisits the events of Persona 3 with new content, including a fresh mystery and an introduction to Metis, a new character. The story places the characters in a time-loop scenario, limiting them to their dorm, which shifts the game's usual dynamic by focusing more on dungeon exploration and less on daytime interactions.

The DLC's protagonist is Aigis, a robot weapon, which may affect the player's ability to connect emotionally with the story. While the gameplay has quality of life improvements from Reload and features like new songs and super powerful Theurgy attacks, the choice of Aigis as the lead raises questions about the expansion's significance and appeal.

Despite enjoying some aspects of the new content, the familiar gameplay and lingering questions about its role in completing the Persona 3 narrative leave doubts. The DLC serves fan service well but leaves room for the hope of fresh, innovative content from Atlus, as hinted with their upcoming project, Metaphor: ReFantazio.
