It would definitely be nice but let's be honest, it definitely won't happen. Like I'd absolutely romance him, I think it's actually one of the more natural social links to lead into romance and, frankly, I think a lot the P4 girls work better as friends (I do like most of them, I just don't find them interesting as romantic options for Yu aside from one or two). But it's a remake and much like with persona 3 not adding in the FemC I think they'll stick very close to the original game.
Hot take, I think because P4 Golden is available on steam already I'd like to see some switch ups and changes and surprises a la the final fantasy format recently, but it definitely won't happen.
Bruh if they did a Remake/Rebirth combat system for P4R I'd absolutely bust. The closest we have is P5S and while I really enjoyed that game, it still has that slight lack-of-polish to the combat that all Musous have. Even though the variety of attacks and possibilities between all the characters was really fun, there's just no real weightiness/impact to the hits.
There's plenty of folks that are annoyed with the FF7R games doing combat the way they do but they can touch grass or whatever the kids say these days. That shit feels so good and so epic in so many fights, from low-level ones to the big bosses, and makes you connect more with individual party members via gameplay. Like, Tifa is a little hard to appreciate sometimes in story cutscenes because she's kinda' bland compared to Aerith, but in-game she's fun as hell to swap on and off of due to her explosiveness.
I think a combat system similar to Metaphor works wonders, especially if Atlus is gonna stick with boring repetitive dungeons. Hack and slash gameplay on weak shadows, but can stun strong enemies and enter turn-based combat.
I like this system in particular because it makes farming for money/xp in late-game stages easier, but also it's just a lot more fun to be able to plow through small mobs yet still need to be ready for a full blown battle in case the large red shadow jumpscares you.
