When companies attempt to remake an adored classic, they often find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. Do too much, and you'll get accused of messing with a timeless masterpiece. But, if you do too little, you're merely seen as making a quick buck. Yet, what if the remake in question is a beloved JRPG from 2006, and the studio responsible is none other than Atlus?

Announced during the recent Xbox Games Showcase, Persona 3 Reload is a full-on remake of the iconic PlayStation 2 title, which has commanded the loyalty of countless fans since its release almost two decades ago. With the promise of modern visuals, revamped combat, and an expanded Tartarus, the remake is poised to breathe new life into the darkly compelling world of S.E.E.S. Unfortunately, there are two issues with the game: the price tag and the fact that a "better" remake already exists.
