I got into Persona with 3 so I'm curious how the first two stack up. A remake would be great too.
It's hard to compare the games pre-Persona 3 as they might as well be from a different series really - No Social Links, no slice-of-life going to school everyday, and heck in P1 you even have two completely separate Story Routes to go through and at the start of each one you have to pick between a roster of potential Party members with whom you will be locked into for the rest of the game.
That said, despite the difficulties in trying to bring the old games onto the modern systems, I really do think it's worth it as Tadashi Satomi's writing was always leaps and bounds ahead of Katsura Hashino's and I would love for the stories of P1 and P2 to get even a modicum of love from the fanbase as the latter games get.
It's hard to get excited for P4r/P3R given Persona's re-release strategy. I rather get sequels instead.
It's especially frustrating as dataminers have found that there's P3: The Answer stuff on Reload's disc which means that despite Reload supposedly being the "definitive" edition, they're going to lock story content behind a paid DLC wall.
