The addition of social events in the dorm looks like a welcome addition. Considering how confined the scenario is, that should break up the activity some.
As long as we have a persona compendium, we should be golden.
As always, the new anime cutscenes look way better than the second third rate stuff from the PS2 version.

I want to watch the trailer but at this point I need to go on media blackout and avoid all spoilers until release.
This is my most anticipated release for the rest of the year.
We'll be able to buy episode aigis standalone without the expansion pass on the release date right?

Based off my glance through Steam just now, that would be a negatory. It's all or nothing if you want the scenario expansion. Atlus seems to be treating the costume/BGM packs as separate offerings you could buy separately if you don't want the whole expansion. I can't say for 100%, but I don't see why all the pre-orders would be up for everything else but not a purchase option for the single, most desired element of the DLC.
If $35 seems a bit much for an expansion (+hats), that's the Atlus tax for you!

I believe this is only available with the pass.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Nice.
This is included as a Game Pass members perk, FYI.\
I wonder if they're gonna dare to change the ending or keep it as is.

More deets via Persona Central:
A humanoid weapon with a soul and the ability to summon a Persona. She joined S.E.E.S. during Persona 3 and developed her human-like feelings fighting alongside the team. In Episode Aigis -The Answer-, she awakens to the same power of the wild card that the Protagonist once had and explores the mysterious Abyss of Time with her so-called sister, Metis.
In this story, her unique Persona is Orpheus, but the power of the wild card allows her to wield multiple Personas at will.
Metis (ENG VA: Lizzie Freeman)
A mysterious android who refers to herself as Aigis’s sister. She appears before the S.E.E.S. members while they are trapped in a never-ending time loop and leads them to a mysterious area that has appeared beneath the dorm called the Abyss of Time.
Her unique Persona is Psyche, specializing in Physical, Wind, and Ice skills.
* You will not be able to use the transferred Persona Compendium on Heartless difficulty. In addition, you cannot summon Personas below Aigis’s current level.
In addition to the refreshed classics, the soundtrack features all-new battle and opening themes—the former of which, “Don’t,” can be heard in the latest trailer.
The “Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis Original Soundtrack” will be released on September 10th. As a preview, the songs “Don’t” and “Heartful Cry” will be available on Spotify and other streaming platforms starting August 17th.

Not the season pass unfortunately, but the game itself is down to $42 in US at least.
I played through P3, P3 FES (twice), and P3P (twice ), so going to wait and get the whole thing during Black Friday/Christmas sales.

I'm about halfway through Reload on Game Pass and got the season pass as an Ultimate perk. So without spoilers, this is an epilogue, right? There's nothing wrong with me continuing to see the game through to the end before this releases or will I be missing out on new additions in the main campaign?

Episode Aigis takes place after original story so you should definitely finish the main game before playing this DLC.

I haven't even played the base game yet, and I got this expansion pass as part of game pass
I will one day play a persona game, despite owning all the available games physically on Xbox

I LOVED Persona 3 Reload. It's my favorite game of the year so far, and is up there for favorite game of all time. Never played the OG or FES or P3P.
I'm hoping Episode Aigis fixes some of the issues with the original "The Answer". I read reviews and opinions about it, and people were saying it was really just a dungeon crawl for 30 hours, and while the combat is fun, it's not the main reason I love the Persona games.

Going to wait a couple more years until Atlus releases another complete version, screwing over anyone who bought at first release.

This is complete horse shit. Scummy intentions are now clear for any future titles too if they're not giving you the option to pick and choose which DLC you want with this one.
