You liked our old game? Come help us make the next one!
Could you imagine? I would think that would make a really fan-y game, but I’m sure that Atlus had some checks and balances in place. In a postmortem, Atlus said that they addedPersona 3fans to theP4development team. They helped by getting feedback on the first game and evaluating content on the new one. I thought thatPersona 4improved just about everything wrong withPersona 3, so maybe this should be something game makers do going forward.
There’s plenty more interesting tidbits in Atlus’Persona 4postmortem, found on Gamasutra. They say that they think they flubbed up one of the character’s designs, though we won’t get into that, as it is a potential spoiler. Also, Atlus says that they didn’t think the in-game weather system went off as well as they had originally hoped. I never really thought about it, but now I see what they’re talking about. See for yourself in thefull postmortem here.
