Persona 4 Revival is sticking pretty closely to the original game because producer Kazuhisha Wada believes the classic has only gotten more relevant in the 18 years since one of the best RPGs first came out.
Speaking to the official Xbox Podcast, series producer Kazuhisha Wada tried to clarify comments he previously made about wanting Persona to feel a little bit like poison. He says he "wasn't referring to shock value or provocative content" with those comments - he simply wanted to leave folks with lingering questions that "encourages players to reflect on themselves," which is something the original Persona 4 has been doing for almost two decades.
