Rumor has it that Persona 4 ꦚis going to be getting the Persona 3 Relo🌄ad treatment and will be remade for current-generation consoles. On its face, I think this is a fine idea; a lot of people seemed to really enjoy Reload (myself included), and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 4 Golden is certainly showing its age a little bit.
As much as I’ve enjoyed the Persona series, however, I have to admit that I’ve never actually finished Persona 4. While the remake might seem like a good chance for me to do that on account of its presumed updates to some of the older design choices from the base game, I think I🦋’ve decided that I might still sit out the remake when it inevitably launche💝s.
The major problem I had with Persona 4 Golden didn’t have anything to do with the combat or dungeon design, but instead with something much more difficult for Atlus to fix🐷 with quality-of-life updates. I stopped playing Persona 4 because I absolutely hate Teddie.
God Won’t Forgive Me For What I Want To Do To That Bear
Teddie is the inhuman mascot character for Persona 4, an archetype that’s been a staple of the series since Persona 3. He’s a giant bear that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:only exists in the Midnight Channel until he (spoilers) takes on a human form and is able to join the player in the real wo🌠rld for the second half of the game.
Teddie is one of the most irritating chꦏaracters ever put in a video game. It feels like there isn’t a single scene that Teddie’s in that he doesn’t ruin by making completely inappropriate, out-of-pocket passes at the𒊎 women in the party or by interrupting the momentum of the scene for absolutely humorless physical comedy.
When the game starts, Teddie is relatively bearable (no pun intended) since he’s relegated to the Midnight Channel, but when he finally gets a body and starts hanging out with everyone during the day and at s🧜chool, he invades nearly every scene ඣfrom then on out.
Teddie is by far the worst part of Persona 4 and that opinion is shared by many diehard fans of the series. He got me to stop playing the Switch release of Persona 4 Golden entirel🍌y because I just couldn’t stand to watch another scene about trying to find a serial killer interrupted by the JRPG equivalent of Borderlands’ Claptrap.
NOTE: Before you try to tell me that the reason Teddie is 𒊎so inappropriate is because he’s a young kid trapped in a teenager’s body, know that I understand that. That background doesn’t make him any less annoying; he’s irritating, regardless of why.
To Remake Or To Revise
While many gaming remakesܫ make changes to the original gamꦗes to best suit modern audiences, I don’t think that a potential Persona 4 remake would do much to change Teddie for the better. The problems I have with Teddie are so core to who the character is that he’d need a complete overhaul to be ‘fixed.’
I don’t think such a thing is completely out of the question, especially in an age where gaming remakes change majꦕ꧂or parts of a game’s story, like in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. However, when looking at how faithful Persona 3 Reload was to its original characters, it doesn’t seem like there’s much hope that Teddie will be significantly different from his origi🍌nal portꦑrayal.
I’m not even convinced that Teddie should be changed for a Persona 4 remake, since I know he has his own fans, but it’s just unfortunate th𒈔at one of gaming’s best RPGs seems like it’s goin෴g to be reimagined and that I might have to sit it out on account of one character having some truly awful writing. It’s such a shame since there are plenty of kids in the Persona series who aren’t terrible to talk to. I just wish Teddie was written like Nanako, Ken, or Maiko.
Who knows, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ꦯmaybe the remake will make some changes to Teddie’s writing and make him a little bit less… like that, bℱut if he gets dialed back, the character will start to lose a lot of the things that ma൩de him who he is in the first place.
If, when the remake is inevitably announced, it looks lꦦike Ted🐈die is going to continue to be his awful, old self, I might just wait to play the game on PC until someone mods it to make Teddie more bearable, . While he’s not fixed, the mod cuts out a lot of the worst bits of Teddie, which I suppose is all I can ask for.
I’m hoping Atlus has at least seen some of the fan pushback to Teddie in the 15-ish years since Persona 4 came out, and they ha𒀰ve some ideas on how to fix him for the remake.
