Why is "Persona 4" Revival: Strengthening the theme also represents remake

　　Today, "Persona 4 Remake" was officially released. Unlike previous speculations in the player community, the suffix name of this work is not Replay (replay) or Rewind (rewind), but Revival. The push-master osu_MeovvCAT explains the possible reasons behind this naming.

　　The meaning of Revival

　　The word Revival has multiple meanings, usually referring to revival and revitalization, but it can also mean a drama reenactment. In Japan, Revival is often used to describe a TV program being re-production after being suspended for a period of time, which is equivalent to Rerun (replay). Therefore, Revival not only expresses the concept of remake, but is also closely linked to the meaning of "replay" or "replay".

　　Natural rules of the "Persona" series

　　The three works in the "Persona" series use the suffix name starting with "R":

　　"Persona 5 Royal Edition": Royal means "Royal", which is an enhanced version of the original P5.

　　"Persona 3 Reload": Reload means "reload", and is a remake of the original P3. This name cleverly combines the personality mask summoner of the protagonist's pistol appearance in the game, meaning "remake" and "again battle".

　　"Persona 4 Revival": Revival means "reactual", and is a remake of the original P4. The theme of the game revolves around late-night TV shows, so Revival represents both a remake and echoes the "Murder Show Replay", adding to the suspense atmosphere.
