    Persona 3 was my introduction to the persona series back when i was in 7th grade so when reload was leaked and everyone thought it was "fake" i held out onto hope that it was real. I'm 17 now and soon to graduate in may, so to be able to experience persona 3 again is nothing short of a miracle

      This is the game that showed me the Dorm life, have fun hang out at Mall, listen to cool city pop music
      and do a full blown operation with Friends fighting Shadow at midnight.
      15 Years old me at that time wished that i could live alone, and someone invite me to fight Demon or something exciting like that.
      yeah i did end up living at Dorm, and went to university, but, nothing exciting ever happened, zero fight with Monster.
      but at least did hang out at Mall with friends and have fun
      yesterday, I played Persona 3 Reload, and oh boy, that first time Awakening scene was so cool,
      it sparked the interest to do a midnight operation and fighting demon in the real world again

Well so far in my playthrough, the OST has been a banger and the graphics are sooo good. Its a huge gap from the original persona 3. The cutsenes are beautiful, the small details are amazing. The emotions carried by the characters really hit you hard. Honestly might be the best game in 2024.

    I remember checking Persona 3 after the Penny Arcade guys talked about it. Went in blind beyond the most basic stuff and was blown away. There was one moment that made me so upset I nearly quit the game. It's rare I get emotionally invested in characters but Atlus are so good at fleshing out their characters between the obligatory parts and the optional soul links where you can learn so much about them.
    It's great being able to playthrough again and choose to focus on different relationships and connect with characters you might barely have interacted with outside the main story previously.

      I was personally a little let down by P3, playing it after P5 and 4 may have tainted the experience for me, but I ended up seeing the "dark themes" in P3 as more overly edgy stuff that didn't fit well with the social sim aspects of the game. Granted, I haven't played reload.

So after playing 5, Royal, P5 Strikers and P4 Golden. The announcement of this game came out, and I knew I had to get it. And so far, I'm loving it.

      yes, older Persona game like 1-3 have a more horror like vibe, which is great, because it's more immersive,
      and gave the shadow and persona more Weight to it, like it was a supernatural horror being.
      while persona 4 and 5 tone it down considerably, which is fine and i'm okay with it,
      and in modern persona they chose to present it as a Folklore & Historical hero/villain figure, and and less like a Demon or Devil,
      which makes sense, and i guess that decision appeal more to the newcomer
      but i just miss the Darker Vibe and Melancholy feeling of early persona game

    I'm a tad worried since it seems like this is a new team considering the veterans devs moved from P-studio to Studio Zero for Metaphor Refantazio. I'm assuming that's why this team is now using Unreal Engine instead of the proprietary engine used for p5. This seems like perfect "practice" for the new devs though! My only bother, so far, is the slow camera movement (reeaally noticeable if you try m&k).

Better combat, better graphics, way less bugs, a much more digestible social link and requests mapping.

      -Better combat? P4 and P5 did next to nothing to innovate the combat. P3P already made the change to allow for individual party control. This is why atlus port P3P. It has FeMC route and party control.
      -Way less bug? P3 is hardly a buggy game.
      -"Everything feels so much more contained in Reload compared to the original game where its all just everywhere"
      WTF are you even talking about?
      -"The game outside of story is meh."
      It is the same social link mechanics, combat, dating sims + dungeon crawler structure that continued in P4 and P5. It is the same formula that made persona popular.

Which I accepted with zero moral thought to it. Def spent more hours than i'd like to admit just afk jammin' along with the UI/audio interfaces. Will add though, I didn't even know/pay attention to the part where they introduce the "rewind" feature in this one *for mistakes etc* so I didn't utilize it in my run. Might have helped with the social-sim aspects a bit though. Solid review tbh and great prefacing with the takeaways.

    I will never forget the unique experience P5 gave me when it first came out. As a lonely kid living out of my bedroom just discovering video games, P5 was basically religious. It blew my mind and also introduced me to jrpgs as a whole. Then, P5R came out and I got to relive the magic all over again. I’ve watched playthroughs of P4 Golden and FES, but never had the equipment to play those games myself - so I’m really excited to sink my teeth into Reload! I know the story’s going to be a banger and I’m glad they’re sticking with the slick aesthetics of P5. Given P5 was my first Persona game & my introduction to the genre, I don’t think anything can beat it in my mind or give me the same level of immersion, but I’m sure P3R well come close. I can’t wait to play it!

    I just got it but haven't played it at all yet. P3P was my introduction to the series when I first got my hands on a PSP back in 2010 and I loved that game so much. I played it all the way to the end more than 6 times by the time the PS Vita was out. I bought it and jumped straight to P4G the moment it was available and it came to be my favorite game of all time up to this day, right next to its younger sibling, P5R. I'm thinking of whipping out my old Vita to play P3R on it since that's how I played both P4G and the og P5 (using remote play) and absolutely loved them.

    Reload is great. They added a lot of flourishes to the old game to make it aesthetically pleasing and fine tuned gameplay to be much more modern/engaging. Twilight fragments for example are a new feature that really helps all aspects of the game. To collect these fragments for opening special boxes or completely restoring SP/HP in Tartarus; players are encouraged to explore, find social links, and advance social links. Though they did fix one exploit that I sort of miss and that was in the previous versions, you could buy unlimited sodas which restored 5 SP and this allowed you to stay in Tartarus(their dungeon) much longer.

      @@ChadVigilanteI understand why they left it out, it's a lot of voice lines to record and they would still need to retune combat because things were balanced differently for Aigis. It was like ~20 more hours of game, but it was a lot of scenes regarding everyone's experience after the end of P3. I expect them to do DLC or a master version with the female MC and the last arc assuming the game does well.

    P3P was my introduction to the Persona series, needless to say it and P4G were some of the defining games of my high school life. Really enjoyed P5R too a few years back.
    This series taught me a lot about time management and prioritizing important relationships in my life, helping me through my academics and early career. Playing P3R as a working adult has been a great reminder of where I started, and lighting a fire under my ass to keep my life in check.

    Persona 3 was one of my favorite games of all time even before Reload. It means so much to me and P3 Reload is so amazing and i cant believe its real. Love it so much. They improve on so much having the link episodes with the male team members and such. I do wish it had femc and the answer to make it have all content together but its amazing how it is for sure

    As someone who was first introduced via Persona 5 when I was a teenager and who was originally hesitant but fell madly in love with Persona 5 Royal, I was very excited when I heard about this game's release. I had always wanted to play the previous installments but the graphics were a big hurdle, lucky for me, P3 Reload's graphics are gorgeous and I'm having the time of my life playing this game. Thank you Atlus and Sega for making this masterpiece and Thank you Joey for reminding of this game's release. Much love everyone and happy gaming!

    Thanks for your thoughts! ❤ I first played P3 at a gaming event at my university. I was a transfer student from out of state and didn’t know anyone. Someone in my Japanese class invited me to their weekly game night and since I was alone and kind of shy, she handed me P3 on a PSP and I was HOOKED instantly. I played FES, too (bought a PS2 specifically for it) and then later got P4 on my PS Vita. I lived in Japan when the musical came out in Tokyo and got to see it and it was amazing! It felt so cool being around so many Persona fans. I never finished P3 or P4 because they were difficult and I played P4 in Japanese and didn’t know what I was supposed to be doing really haha 😅 but I played P5 three times (vanilla, NG+, and Royal) and it’s my favorite. But recently I got P3 and P4 on my Steam Deck during a sale and I am about halfway through P3. I probably won’t get to the reload for quite a while but I’m so excited for when I’ll play it eventually - I know it will be amazing. The soundtrack is 🔥

    I gotta replay mines again now. I was able to get everyone to LVL99 , and passed the game . BUT, i was never able to get that one legendary item. It was either called " Odin's sphere or black matter " . I might be confusing it with something else. But it was a very specific drop, that granted invulnerability or something like that. I had started a second playthrough, but i don't remember where i left . Might have to start over.... Thanks Joey.
