So it's also akin to Blind Forest vanilla vs. definitive edition, then? Because they should've done the same with Persona 5 Royal if you ask me. |
I never played vanilla blind forest so I can't say.
About Persona, the caveat here is it couldn't be just a patch to update the vanilla edition, you would need to redownload everything. Royal has double the size of the vanilla edition and too many editions on the story, maps, menus, events, battles and of course graphics as well. It's something a little deeper than just changing and patching some files. What I agree that can be done is sell the Royal as an upgrade where you download it and It replaces the launcher of the standard edition, but it's essentially a new game meaning you can carry some things of the standard version but not everything (in the cause you have your saves and gaming data saved either in cloud or in the console). I don't know if Playstation allows it because I can't think any game that used it before (although is not technically impossible and seems something quite easy to implement)
Dragon Quest is even deeper because the source code of the game is different, it uses Switch version as the base and upgrade models, animations and resolution accordingly. So indeed, it would be a case where you get a new game, download it and after installing it the launcher of the vanilla version become inactive and you play the definitive edition then.
