I can say i am more supportive of this practice as Atlus does tend to historically have issues with every game they release that the re-release ends up fixing the original and it becomes the definitive version used throughout until a remake happens to overthrow it. DLC expansions are not my favorite in this instance.

Persona as a series is popular, I remember when it was just Persona 4 Golden that came on PS Vita. 5 really catapulted it into the stratosphere, but honestly I do not think Persona 4 Golden needs it, it’s a luxury, a nice to have. But it’s not like the special situation Persona 3 was with P3P and FES(which was a re-release of Persona 3 that came into America) where both were flawed in some way, and needed the remake to bring it together gameplay wise. I would prefer Raidou because it desperately needs it or even Persona 2 which is a really beloved game from the older audiences of the Persona series and never was fully released West.
