I'd love more Metaphor: ReFantazio, but I hope Atlus leaves its outdated re-release trend in the past

I adore Metaphor: ReFantazio. Studio Zero's debut fantasy JRPG took me 87 glorious hours to complete, and even after it absorbed around two weeks of my life with non-stop playing, I immediately wanted to start New Game+ and experience the whole thing again.

And that I did, but there was one, tiny thought in the back of my mind when I dove back into Euchronia. 'Will I regret playing this whole thing again if I eventually have to come back a third time, too?' It feels like that could well happen if Atlus decides to follow the same path trodden with Persona 3 through 5, with an expanded re-release akin to Persona 5 Royal, and I just hope it doesn't.
