I'm 24 and just heard about this game's existence. I never knew the Persona 5 devs made another game. I'm gonna buy this game later, can't wait to give it a shot.
THIS is an excellent review. While I somewhat disagree with your analysis of Rin, I think you presented your argument really well. Rin to me was a necessary addition because it helps introduce the lack of a binary choice in the game. The original Catherine really made it feel like 1 or the other. Rin's arc and character expresses different perspectives of freedom and choice. Ie. While choosing to be single was a potential ending in the 1st game, it wasn't discussed or expressed as well as in full body. Great review and this game is truly special. I have it on ps3/psvita/ps4 haha. Also Babel is HARD
I pre ordered the premium edition pretty soon after pre orders opened up. I had seen lets plays of Catherine a lot but was never able to find a copy in my country to play myself so i was very excited when this remaster was revealed so this became the first game i ever pre ordered. I can't wait till it arrives
It is censored, but they're trying to keep it quiet. One of the voice actresses for the american version said the japanese release is full of "bigotry" and that the localization team will change some things for the west.
All they changed was a name in the end credits noone ever reads from Erkia to Eric because the american voice actor was trans or something and afew lines of that one character and absolutely nothing else no scenes, models, mini-games, any gameplay endings or anything has been changed.
Don't let them put that shit in your head fam all they did was change a name everything is still the same. Catherine doesn't show children in sexual ways so there is nothing to censor.
If anyone sees this, I have a question. I’ve never played either classic or full body, and I was planning to get full body when it comes to switch. After watching this I was wondering if I might be better off playing classic on pc first. Is this a good idea?
I'd recommend you play the original through blind first. The story is built around the original conflict between Catherine and Katherine so its ultimately better paced and it tells the story better. After you beat it for the first time then you should probably just play full body since its gameplay is much better and has a bit more content and new modes to keep things fresh and interesting for another few playthroughs.
I've decided to take advantage of the sale and buy classic. Full body will come after I've gotten the original story out of the way, basesd on your review. Thanks!
Can you play with out Rin or is she added no mater what? I was hoping to re experience the vanilla version a couple times before adding her. I wasn’t aware she was there by default.
Uncensored, only difference in the english version is a deleted name from the credits. Nothing from the main game has been altered. it's exactly the same from the Japanese version
All they changed was a name in the end credits noone ever reads of Erika changed to Eric by the american voice actor for being trans and afew lines of the character and absolutely nothing else no scenes, models, mini-games, any gameplay endings or anything has been changed.
It's far to sexy and cultured for the Switch to contain. That's why. ( But really I'm sure it will find it's way onto the Switch in one way or the other. Just give it time)
@@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven it seems like it's too sexy for current day Sony tbh. Atlas doesn't like releasing games on switch it seems so i have my doubts
@@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven Umm you do know this remaster is censored right? Switch has games uncensored that Sony is censoring "for the kids" just look at Omega labyrinth, Neko para, Senran kagura, Mary Skelter 2, DOA etc Shall I go on? PS4 is dead to the Japanese community and fans of "sexy and cultured" games. PC/Switch is for the men of culture.
It's the original game but with added cut scenes, new endings, new dialogue options, new levels, new blocks, and a new character that adds a new arc to the game. There is also some remixes of the original songs added to the soundtrack, and the game is remastered.
Carlos Guevara well that’s a bummer i remember when the original cameout i loves it and even bought it again the collectors version back when i still cared about console games. Sad they just milk and censor another cult classic the vr might be good with it I don’t do vr tho
MACMETALFACE dude can't you read or hear? this new version comes with new characters, new cutscenes, new endings, new gameplay styles, new levels, new objects, etc where the heck did you got the "vr" thing from
Dortek96 dude can’t you read i said i stopped it where it said spoiler warnings just in case it wasn’t just a rehash with a few extras. Also ‘full body’ to me sounds like a corny vr game type name. Love from Japan tho little bro enjoy the added extras to a classic game!
What about the CENSORSHIP? How much did Atlus change from the Japanese release to appese the western outrage mob? That is the only thing that stopped me from pre-ordering and will stop me from buying.
@@hughlingard oh for sure. I think she could have had the same name as one of the other two, but she is referred to as Rin. Would been funnier I'm sure
@@sgtjuanak47ground No they didn't they only changed the credits. They literally just deleted a name but that's it. All the text is translated from the Japanese version of Full Body which has some changes from the original game but nothing it's altered.
Spoiler alert for people that haven’t played/watched the original game So just thinking out loud here, if rin isn’t a succubus like Catherine, then doesn’t that sorta bend the story a little? The point of the story is that Vincent and Katherine aren’t having a child quick enough so Catherine is there to make him cheat and so he dies. If the player goes after rin then the player is just cheating on their own and there isn’t a point to Catherine being there at all, unless the point is Vincent is cheating on two of them at once? The story is a little more confusing for me now that there’s a third character stapled on. Hopefully they pull it off
@LokiTheRevenger not fullbody tho and we aren't even getting the vita version in the west. No reason why atlus could have put this on xbox one pc and switch as well.
Guys if you start a review with 'MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS' then I'm pretty sure I won't be the only person who does not watch it, why don't you try doing spoiler free reviews like most of your competitors?

Catherine is a Cult Classic for me.
@concretespecial what censored rubbish?

Honestly, one of the best most relatable games ever made... I'm also 32. I can totally relate to Vince and his friends.
Yup its enjoyable for people late 20s and above.

The original is one of the best, most unique games I've ever played ever.

I was 32 when I played the game the first time and actually had a crush on a girl named Katherine...

I'm getting a copy of the premium version no matter what.
It is worth it trust me.
I played the vanilla version, and enjoyed it. Playing this version as a now 32 year old, is essentially using realism to escape realism.
My first love was a Katherine. She had a book that was about a Katherine meeting a Catherine hahaha

Can you play with out Rin or is she added no mater what? I was hoping to re experience the vanilla version a couple times before adding her. I wasn’t aware she was there by default.
Rin is there automatically. But it's basically the same game with new scenes.
Need more games like catherine, simple but fun
I missed this the first time round and planned to get it again, after this review I think I’ll skip the Rin version
You cannot make a review after only 40 hours of play, you need at least infinity hours
Lmao
MY BODY IS READY! >_
Full body should allow us to play the original version too
Full body is the original with added features--
5:34 bruh I've accidentally pronounced it at "egnimatic" before as well so it was nice to see I'm not the only one haha
This was a very well written review
No fucking delay... staright into review....thumbs up
I noticed now that the game is higher quality if you look at the unmovable blocks there is a certain face on it lol
Is this game uncut Or Had Sony censored it in Europe Ort Germany?
from what i saw, they didnt cut or censored anything.
Uncensored, only difference in the english version is a deleted name from the credits. Nothing from the main game has been altered. it's exactly the same from the Japanese version
Thanks everybody
They also changed an ending where Erica was shown as happy without transitioning
0:40 his tshirt says what I think it says
I want to play this game again, it’s really underrated.
will buy this its from atlus i played the demo and its great gameplay and most the story
you don't talk about any censorship?
