I think one of the biggest disappointments going backwards 5, 4, 3 is learning that we couldn’t choose which skills get inherited. FES definitely lacked so quality of life features but that makes it fun in its own way. The limitations made you play the game differently compared to 4-5.
You can reroll the skills in the game's without manual inheritance if you back out and reselect the fusion materials it'll give you different skills. Pretty much every Megami Tensei game lacked manual skill inheritance until Devil Survivor 2 (2011)

I was thinking that just now. I only played p3p, but I was a bothered that only FeMC had more social links than male. Like why not put both male and female social links, just edit the female social links to fit the male character.

No male social links and no FemMC really makes this game bittersweet for me, even though I will play and buy it day 1.

Because she was always meant to be an addition, not a core component of the game. She was only ever possible because they stripped so much of the game out to fit it into a UMD and it was easier to implement her without much work, but now that P3R is a full on remake they'd essentially have to make another game to just add her in.

If and when they add the female main character I’ll consider buying. She adds so much that I just can’t imagine playing P3 without her. I don’t know how I ever played the original versions.
no offense that character completely ruins everyones intended characters arc, akihiko gets it the worst, saying you can't believe you played MC is borderline ignorant.
While I still think it's a really unfortunate development most male characters like Akihiko, Junpei, and Koromaru won't have social links (or romances for that matter, cause lord I wanna romance Shinji again), I'm glad there's at the very least a compromise with link episodes to help develop characters.
I am still holding out for Fem-c to be added at a later date just to correct this issue. That and The Answer, maybe some special 'episodes' to encompass the movies and other side stories that have been introduced since P3 originally launched. Maybe crossovers with P4? Too many things that could be added down the line to mention!
Important question: when you say the persona discovery is done in-engine, does that mean some of the anime cutscenes (for lack of a better term) are now replaced with in-engine animation?
I appreciate how often my girl is featured in the thumbnail of these videos lol. A lot of exciting changes but the thing I'm most curious about is the Link episodes featuring the girls they already have SL's so I wonder how these episodes will flesh them out even more.
I was a little worried that this game was just gonna straight up copy Persona 5 with it's new flashy aesthetic, but having seen more, it feels more like they took the best parts of Persona 5s design, while keeping the feel of Persona 3 intact
Yeah, if it has the female MC I’ll totally check it out. Vanilla just doesn’t seem worth it to me as the female MC adds so much to the game and I find it so much easier to put myself in her shoes. Oh, well. At least I have the PC version of P3P with mods for now :)
THAT ABLE TO CHOOSE THE SKILL TO INHERITE IS HUGEEEE W. I never played p3 so i decied to play the p3p on steam release (coming from p4g and p5 series), i already 50h in the game and when i heard p3r coming i just stop played it completly. I HATE every small things that i can do in p4g but can't do it here, i hate i can't choose which skill i want to inherite when fusing personas. I the type of player who always tried to build 1or 2carry persona so most of the time 1or 2persona would have all the elements skill so i don't need to change persona everytime, but since the inheritance random and you need to keep reload to let the skill you want to inherite i reluctant to fusing new persona since all the build in the persona i did before would be gone, reallly massive deal breaker for me AND such simple thing as can't re arrange skill on persona also really annoying. Im glad i stop that crap and waiting for p3r to release
I'm hearing that Igor is voiced by Kirk Thornton but I have yet to see videos with his voice as Igor. Yes I'm wondering because I really want Daniel Woren back. Either way though, I would really like to know for sure.
The lack of FES and FeMC pisses me off. A lot. Fans begged Atlus for a "perfect" version, and Atlus did what Atlus does. I'm still going to get it, though. I'm part of the problem. What no one is saying is whether you can finish SLs with female characters without romancing them. I have no desire for a harem, but I do I want to finish SLs I start.
My first adventure into Persona 3 gonna look dope. I've only been familiar with 5 & Royal so coming into 3 with a fresh perspective is gonna be a welcoming and learning experience compared to veterans of the franchise. S-Links being fully voiced is a major step up in my opinion.
Don't call them a fake fan. A fan is a fan. I played Persona 2 IS, P3P, P4G, SMT3, SMT4 , Devil Summoner, Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, Survivor Overclock all before Persona 5 was even released so P5 fans are still new fans ti me but never shit all over anyone else. Just glad its more mainstream. Ive since played P5R, SMTV and Soul Hackers 2. Lets all just enjoy Reload when it comes out.,@@Shosholegbt
Oh yeah I'm forgetting Strange Journey as well lol. Just too many in SMT franchise. I just wish they'd release the older games never released outside of Japan.
I’ve never played a Persona game so I’m excited to try it, I entered the giveaway! My only complain is that I wish they kept the female protagonist option cause I always chose girls. But I’m excited 💖
havent been this excited for a game release since persona 5 royal and ff7r came out within a week and a half of each other. glad to see SE are giving me a month this time!
Has there been any confirmation on how the johanna and milady dlc personas are going to work considering the lack of nuke and psi? I assume miladys gun skills will translate to pierce, but im not sure about the elemental skills.
I could see that maybe working for nuke but it doesnt really feel right for it to be psi as well. Another thing is each was weak to the other element so theyre gonna need a whole new weakness.
Super excited for this, but vaguely worried about some...thematic stuff? So many of the themes of P3 are about loneliness, isolation, and depression, and in a lot of ways the harder mechanics of OG P3 really supported that. You couldn't control your party members because everybody was isolated and doing their own thing! For quality-of-life gameplay reasons, I'm glad that's changed, and I look forward to seeing more from our party members, but I'm worried that adding in all these P5-esque mechanics is a step towards making SEES feel like a functional, close-knit friendgroup. I don't WANT SEES to be a functional close-knit friendgroup -- that's kind of the point!
Yes, the beginning of all Persona games are heavy on the dialogue. The combat typically starts over an hour through it and then the game more or less really opens up after hour 2 or 3.
Is there no in-battle party switch like in P5? That was probably my favorite new feature from that game. I spent my whole game using the same characters in P3 and P4, but P5 made it possible to keep every party member relevant.
Why did they keep the arcana reversal BS?... ugh.... that was always so annoying that you would have to waste a whole day fixing a reversal if things go wrong. Guess I just gotta save scum before every social link hangout to make sure that never happens. Maxing out all social links in persona 3 was always so damn tight... especially since Aegis and mitsuru are both only availble in the endgame which results in practically needing to decide between one or the other unless you have a PERFECT track record between the 2 with responses and gifts and such.
P3FES was my first Persona game. I’m excited for this version! It’s a shame that The Answer isn’t included, but seeing as how each Persona game gets an upgrade a few years after release (P3FES, P4Golden, P5Royal), it will likely be included a few years from now, along with the FemMC.
I really hope they add The Answer at some point too, and I’m pretty confident that they’ll do it as a post-launch DLC/update, because it’s not like Golden or Royal which added additional content to the main story mode. It’s an epilogue story that basically functions as its own separate thing. I definitely could see them doing it like Future Redeemed for Xenoblade 3.
able to pick your skill on velvet room is huge, also i would like to know if gaining money would be easier/persona cost would be lower coz p3p persona cost is insane and its hard to farm money
Thank you for gathering all this information! I was excited to play it again since I played the original on ps2. The quality of life improvements are a big plus.
Persona 5 and Royal is what got me into persona and wanting to explore past ones. I am so glad Persona 5 existed sense it's gonna let others like me try there past games.
Still disappointed of no FEMC, but thank god you can be platonic in relationships as the male protag. That was the one thing I was uncomfortable with playing as him. I didn't like that you didn't have the option to say no to a relationship and just stay friends.
Man i have been completely blind to this and i just cant wait but am a little disappointed because when i saw the roster of the sees squad i was for sure going to max rank Jumpei , the brawler guy , the hammer older gentleman and the redhead cause i just liked their designs but now that i know that the males don't have social links i don't know how to feel towards it
Does anyone know if the supported languages apply to all regions? I currently live in Japan, and my US banking address after state tax comes out to 77 dollars, which comes out a bit more expensive than if I paid in yen. Meaning I'll probably just buy the Japanese PSN version, but I want to make sure it has English on it.
apparently not a lot of people know that you can actually control your party member in orginal game but you need to be at party social link 5 (if I'm not mistaken) then you need to change their tactic to direct command
Ok so that's a lot of cool additions. I didn't it would add so much extra content and QoL. Unfortunately because I played P3P all those years ago it's not enough for this to be a day one purchase for me. I liked using the female protagonist and what came with her so to see them not include her or FES (which I never had the opportunity to play) makes this not a must buy immediately. I also have a sneaking suspicion that they might make another version with the female protagonist which seems very like Atlus. Even if they don't, its nice to see them continue to toss their female player base to the side.
Great video I am excited to play this remake can't wait for February. do you know if the game is going to be balanced difficulty wise? one of the things i love from the original P3 was the difficulty i just hope it isn't easy like P3P and P5.
It is likely to potentially be easier than the original Persona 3 releases for a variety of reasons (theurgy attacks, shift mechanic, no more fatigue, etc.) You can always increase the difficulty!
As the 500th post I would love if that got me an extra entry. 😅 I love the series and bought both editions of 5. I am just over the moon to get this and hope you will provide it to me. I'll be subscribed for life if I do 🎉. This video was super informative and makes me want this even more! And I am just gonna say if I get the ff7 rebirth game instead, well I guess I gotta finally crack and get that ps5 😂
Really think they should have kept the fatigue system as it encouraged you to spread out your dungeon crawling over multiple days instead of doing all in one day. Something I didn't really like with Persona 4 or 5 is that it was always optimal to do the dungeon in one day so you could do as many social links as possible and then you would being doing the dungeon for hours only to completely ignore it for the rest of the month.
I'm really looking forward to this remake, possibly my most hype upcoming game. Kinda disappointed they didn't remake The Answer, but also holding out hope they may add it as DLC.

It looks incredible. It looks like P5's red, but with the somber P3 blue aesthetic treatment applied to it.
Wake me up when FeMC is announced
OH MY GOODNESS! ARE THEY ACTUALLY GONNA KEEP MEMORIES OF YOU THE ENDUNG THEME?!
If and when they add the female main character I’ll consider buying. She adds so much that I just can’t imagine playing P3 without her. I don’t know how I ever played the original versions.
no offense that character completely ruins everyones intended characters arc, akihiko gets it the worst, saying you can't believe you played MC is borderline ignorant.

While I still think it's a really unfortunate development most male characters like Akihiko, Junpei, and Koromaru won't have social links (or romances for that matter, cause lord I wanna romance Shinji again), I'm glad there's at the very least a compromise with link episodes to help develop characters.
I am still holding out for Fem-c to be added at a later date just to correct this issue. That and The Answer, maybe some special 'episodes' to encompass the movies and other side stories that have been introduced since P3 originally launched. Maybe crossovers with P4? Too many things that could be added down the line to mention!
I have been waiting for this!
Same!
Important question: when you say the persona discovery is done in-engine, does that mean some of the anime cutscenes (for lack of a better term) are now replaced with in-engine animation?
I appreciate how often my girl is featured in the thumbnail of these videos lol. A lot of exciting changes but the thing I'm most curious about is the Link episodes featuring the girls they already have SL's so I wonder how these episodes will flesh them out even more.
Yukari's best girl for a reason 🙏🙏
@@RK800-re5lf 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Amazing video, also you have some good taste of music. I don’t know what type of jazz the these songs are but they got me hooked
Heck yeah I glad you agree. I feel like acid jazz works well with Persona, hence that's the genre P5 went with. It's a good fit for the series
I wish they hadn't lost the original audio. Shoji Meguro is a genius.
I was a little worried that this game was just gonna straight up copy Persona 5 with it's new flashy aesthetic, but having seen more, it feels more like they took the best parts of Persona 5s design, while keeping the feel of Persona 3 intact
Shoji meguro was the composer for persona games until recently.
The goat
I’m so glad the armband changed 😭
Cool, I look forward to playing the Golden/Royal/Rebirth/Whatever edition that they release a couple years after this comes out.
Persona 3 Reload Golden Royal Rebirth
Yeah, if it has the female MC I’ll totally check it out. Vanilla just doesn’t seem worth it to me as the female MC adds so much to the game and I find it so much easier to put myself in her shoes. Oh, well. At least I have the PC version of P3P with mods for now :)
THAT ABLE TO CHOOSE THE SKILL TO INHERITE IS HUGEEEE W. I never played p3 so i decied to play the p3p on steam release (coming from p4g and p5 series), i already 50h in the game and when i heard p3r coming i just stop played it completly. I HATE every small things that i can do in p4g but can't do it here, i hate i can't choose which skill i want to inherite when fusing personas. I the type of player who always tried to build 1or 2carry persona so most of the time 1or 2persona would have all the elements skill so i don't need to change persona everytime, but since the inheritance random and you need to keep reload to let the skill you want to inherite i reluctant to fusing new persona since all the build in the persona i did before would be gone, reallly massive deal breaker for me AND such simple thing as can't re arrange skill on persona also really annoying. Im glad i stop that crap and waiting for p3r to release
Hope you like it!
It just wouldn't be persona 3 without Lotus Juice, glad he's back
Agreed. Really like his performance in this new soundtrack
I'm hearing that Igor is voiced by Kirk Thornton but I have yet to see videos with his voice as Igor. Yes I'm wondering because I really want Daniel Woren back. Either way though, I would really like to know for sure.
Thanks for the giveaway! Appreciate it!
Of course and best of luck!
You forgot to mention that Fuuka can analyze the enemies like the og P3 but it will cost 35 SP from her SP bar.
Like.. just checking the weaknesses?
@@newutopia8 Yeah, but you can still find them by trial and error like p4 and p5 if you don't want to spend sp.
@@newutopia8if you mean just checking, I don't think it costs SP. I think it costs SP to discover a weakness with the ability instead
Like Persona 5 I hope Persona's like Thanatos have their signature moves like Doors of Hades etc!
The lack of FES and FeMC pisses me off. A lot. Fans begged Atlus for a "perfect" version, and Atlus did what Atlus does.
I'm still going to get it, though. I'm part of the problem.
What no one is saying is whether you can finish SLs with female characters without romancing them. I have no desire for a harem, but I do I want to finish SLs I start.
Im still praying and hoping we get Kotone...
I don't care if i have to pay $100 dollars... I just want her
My first adventure into Persona 3 gonna look dope. I've only been familiar with 5 & Royal so coming into 3 with a fresh perspective is gonna be a welcoming and learning experience compared to veterans of the franchise. S-Links being fully voiced is a major step up in my opinion.
You didn’t played 4 golden lmao fake fan
No p4?? GET EM BOYS
I'm playing Golden right now.@@Shosholegbt
Don't call them a fake fan. A fan is a fan. I played Persona 2 IS, P3P, P4G, SMT3, SMT4 , Devil Summoner, Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, Survivor Overclock all before Persona 5 was even released so P5 fans are still new fans ti me but never shit all over anyone else. Just glad its more mainstream. Ive since played P5R, SMTV and Soul Hackers 2. Lets all just enjoy Reload when it comes out.,@@Shosholegbt
Oh yeah I'm forgetting Strange Journey as well lol. Just too many in SMT franchise. I just wish they'd release the older games never released outside of Japan.
I’ve never played a Persona game so I’m excited to try it, I entered the giveaway! My only complain is that I wish they kept the female protagonist option cause I always chose girls. But I’m excited 💖
Very sad that Liam Obrian isn’t gonna be Akihiko anymore, guess I’ll def use the Japanese VO
What, you don’t like kaggy?! It’s nice to see how far he’s come throughout the years, he used to be a UA-camr back in the good old days 🙂
havent been this excited for a game release since persona 5 royal and ff7r came out within a week and a half of each other. glad to see SE are giving me a month this time!
FINALLY... PLATONIC!! I don't need to be punished for not wanting to date ladies in Persona.
Has there been any confirmation on how the johanna and milady dlc personas are going to work considering the lack of nuke and psi? I assume miladys gun skills will translate to pierce, but im not sure about the elemental skills.
It would be interesting if they gave them almighty attacks
I could see that maybe working for nuke but it doesnt really feel right for it to be psi as well. Another thing is each was weak to the other element so theyre gonna need a whole new weakness.
They’ll add the elements as dlc only you know atlas
Super excited for this, but vaguely worried about some...thematic stuff? So many of the themes of P3 are about loneliness, isolation, and depression, and in a lot of ways the harder mechanics of OG P3 really supported that. You couldn't control your party members because everybody was isolated and doing their own thing! For quality-of-life gameplay reasons, I'm glad that's changed, and I look forward to seeing more from our party members, but I'm worried that adding in all these P5-esque mechanics is a step towards making SEES feel like a functional, close-knit friendgroup. I don't WANT SEES to be a functional close-knit friendgroup -- that's kind of the point!
Personally I hope old AI tactics will still be an option if one wishes to use them.
@@JoniWan77I'm sure they keep them in just like they have for the persona games prior
Exactly what I was looking for.
As a new persona player havent played any of thenother persona games the begging it kind of mainly dialog when doesnthe action start?
Yes, the beginning of all Persona games are heavy on the dialogue. The combat typically starts over an hour through it and then the game more or less really opens up after hour 2 or 3.
Is there no in-battle party switch like in P5? That was probably my favorite new feature from that game. I spent my whole game using the same characters in P3 and P4, but P5 made it possible to keep every party member relevant.
Gardening is such a Normie activity for my edgy p3 game Hope the direction stays intact
Can we PLZ make the main character be able to use all wepon types again
Yeah, I miss that too
Why did they keep the arcana reversal BS?... ugh.... that was always so annoying that you would have to waste a whole day fixing a reversal if things go wrong. Guess I just gotta save scum before every social link hangout to make sure that never happens. Maxing out all social links in persona 3 was always so damn tight... especially since Aegis and mitsuru are both only availble in the endgame which results in practically needing to decide between one or the other unless you have a PERFECT track record between the 2 with responses and gifts and such.
i love that p3r will have subtitles in my national language
That's awesome. What's your native tongue?
also we aren't even going to have 'The Answer' Epilouge in reloaded.
P3FES was my first Persona game. I’m excited for this version! It’s a shame that The Answer isn’t included, but seeing as how each Persona game gets an upgrade a few years after release (P3FES, P4Golden, P5Royal), it will likely be included a few years from now, along with the FemMC.
I really hope they add The Answer at some point too, and I’m pretty confident that they’ll do it as a post-launch DLC/update, because it’s not like Golden or Royal which added additional content to the main story mode. It’s an epilogue story that basically functions as its own separate thing. I definitely could see them doing it like Future Redeemed for Xenoblade 3.
@@ninten-drew5314 give it 3 years and they'll just rerelease the game with it included lol
will most likely be a dlc tbh
14:03 that has been there since portable, yall didn't know?
able to pick your skill on velvet room is huge, also i would like to know if gaining money would be easier/persona cost would be lower coz p3p persona cost is insane and its hard to farm money
uh guys? Bunkichi Kitamura is voiced by Naoki.
*we live in the smt 3 timeline, we are going to be destroyed soon lol*
Thank you for gathering all this information! I was excited to play it again since I played the original on ps2. The quality of life improvements are a big plus.
Are there any confirmation on music from the movies making it in? (I just want Warm Heart and Battle themes 😞)
Excellent question and I wish I had the answer to that...
Aigis using her guns as waterpistols in the beach scene just before the aesthetic changes section finished cracked me up
Persona 5 and Royal is what got me into persona and wanting to explore past ones. I am so glad Persona 5 existed sense it's gonna let others like me try there past games.
Still disappointed of no FEMC, but thank god you can be platonic in relationships as the male protag. That was the one thing I was uncomfortable with playing as him. I didn't like that you didn't have the option to say no to a relationship and just stay friends.
I wish they keep the revolver aesthetics
I'm definitely getting this game
My favorite in the series revolutionized the gaming world when it came out. The ff7 of the series so glad they are acknowledging their roots.
Agreed!
im just hoping Mayas theme is still in the game again i all ways used that to run in tarturs
not seeing anything on finally being able to officially date the hermit arcana :(
Currently playing p3G for the first time. My first persona and i am HOOKED AR.
Man i have been completely blind to this and i just cant wait but am a little disappointed because when i saw the roster of the sees squad i was for sure going to max rank Jumpei , the brawler guy , the hammer older gentleman and the redhead cause i just liked their designs but now that i know that the males don't have social links i don't know how to feel towards it
i don´t buy the game because of that, that´s how i feel about it, they better add male social links in p6
Does anyone know if the supported languages apply to all regions? I currently live in Japan, and my US banking address after state tax comes out to 77 dollars, which comes out a bit more expensive than if I paid in yen. Meaning I'll probably just buy the Japanese PSN version, but I want to make sure it has English on it.
Great question! Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to that
apparently not a lot of people know that you can actually control your party member in orginal game but you need to be at party social link 5 (if I'm not mistaken) then you need to change their tactic to direct command
That's only in portable from what I've seen
Only possible in P3P
P3P makes Direct Command possible from the start.
It's the Protect ability that is unlocked for everyone at once at Fool rank 5.
Just lying. Thats portable only
I'm expecting The Answer to be DLC like Dante was in Nocturne's remake.
the movement looks amazing
10:04 GREAT VEGETABLES
Ok so that's a lot of cool additions. I didn't it would add so much extra content and QoL. Unfortunately because I played P3P all those years ago it's not enough for this to be a day one purchase for me. I liked using the female protagonist and what came with her so to see them not include her or FES (which I never had the opportunity to play) makes this not a must buy immediately. I also have a sneaking suspicion that they might make another version with the female protagonist which seems very like Atlus. Even if they don't, its nice to see them continue to toss their female player base to the side.
I’m so mad I’m poor. I desperately want the collectors edition.
💡 I’ll just sell my house.
It looks exactly like Persona 5 now. Might be fun.
Wish they would do this for P4 Golden as well.
Great video I am excited to play this remake can't wait for February. do you know if the game is going to be balanced difficulty wise? one of the things i love from the original P3 was the difficulty i just hope it isn't easy like P3P and P5.
Well there adding in baton pass but without the power up thing from P5R so that makes it seem like their trying to balance the difficulty a bit more
There will always be mods if they don't properly balance it especially considering it's an unreal engine game
It is likely to potentially be easier than the original Persona 3 releases for a variety of reasons (theurgy attacks, shift mechanic, no more fatigue, etc.) You can always increase the difficulty!
I'm just here for Speedo Akihiko. In 4K resolution. Also, please let me date them. It's 2024.
Your videos are so well structured
I appreciate that!

As the 500th post I would love if that got me an extra entry. 😅 I love the series and bought both editions of 5. I am just over the moon to get this and hope you will provide it to me. I'll be subscribed for life if I do 🎉.
This video was super informative and makes me want this even more!
And I am just gonna say if I get the ff7 rebirth game instead, well I guess I gotta finally crack and get that ps5 😂
Really think they should have kept the fatigue system as it encouraged you to spread out your dungeon crawling over multiple days instead of doing all in one day. Something I didn't really like with Persona 4 or 5 is that it was always optimal to do the dungeon in one day so you could do as many social links as possible and then you would being doing the dungeon for hours only to completely ignore it for the rest of the month.
Me looking at those giveaways and realizing I pre-ordered both (same exact versions) 🤑
This version looks pretty good. I’m excited for the music.
Heck yeah!
I'm really looking forward to this remake, possibly my most hype upcoming game. Kinda disappointed they didn't remake The Answer, but also holding out hope they may add it as DLC.
Hoping we get this on switch. Something about persona games feels mostly enjoyable on a portable system .
I never played Persona 3 before so will it have the diffuclit setting?
