This game was an amazing play! The persona series always does a great job with it's characters and story and this game doesn't disappoint! The depth of characterization has improved since the original, but the amazing story still tugs on heart strings to this day! Please note that death and depression are a key point in the story, so if you have a hard time with those topics then this game isn't for you. However, it is done in a way that helped me visualize and tackle some of those topics in myself. If those are not too triggering, I reccomend giving the game a shot.
The gameplay is fun with a few things added to from P5 along with some things unique to the game. The gameplay is still nothing revolutionary, but it is fun from the start to the end of my 100 hour play through!

For those who've played the original or are new to the series, this game offers a lot of quality of life improvements and even some newer features for those who've played modern Persona entries. I will say the Aigis DLC should've been included but that doesn't take a point off the review for me

JRPG Of The Year 2024. ????????

I originally played Persona 3 on the PSP. Loved it. Persona 3 Reload takes everything and makes it better. EVERYTHING.

From the graphics, the battle system, UI, music, all of it. Improved.

I started playing at release and soon enough, a bajillion hours passed by. Exact numbers btw. ????

Story is simple enough, you are a transfer student whose first day ends up with him fighting monsters. Now, you must use your hidden power, called Persona, to defeat them and put a stop to the Dark Hour.

The game goes day by day over the course of a year. Having you live out the life of said transfer student. Very engaging stuff. The back and forth of school life and monster fighting makes for a nice flow.

You can build relationships to improve your chances of better Persona abilities. These side quests play out like a slice of life anime. Myself, I went for Yuko's route this time. I usually go either Yuko or Mitsuru. Choose whatever works best for your play style.

Combat is where P3R really shines. They give you new ultimate attacks, called Therugy, like Limit Breaks in Final Fantasy 7. My team is usually Yukari, Junpei, and whoever else I need. Most times being Aigis.

This game is great. I already knew I was gonna like it. I just didn't know I would love it.

Now, Atlus, can we get a Catherine 2 already? ???? 5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Version
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024
The PS3 original is fantastic- probably my personal favorite in the series- but there is no denying this is the definitive edition of the game. Everything you loved about the original is still here with graphical updates and quality of life additions. A can’t miss modern classic for JRPG fans. The one word of caution I’d put out there for those new to the Persona series or those potentially buying this as a gift- Persona games are quite lengthy, this one clocking in just shy of 100 hours. Make sure whoever will be playing this has the time and patience for a longer game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful remake of a old game

Positives:
- The rewind system makes viewing results of different choices faster. Rather than making a save file then loading a save file over and over if you were just curious about what happens if you chose a different choice
- All the difficulty settings are fair and balanced (except for the Reaper cheese)
- Story and environment were more or less preserved, no modernization here (e.g. still using wired earphones, flip phones and other early 2000s tech and fashion)
- Fantastic music and slick UI elements

Negatives:
Major complaints
- Lack of female protagonist which could have doubled the replay value
- Maxing out the social links in one playthrough is impossible without following a strict guide
Minor complaints
- Minimap could show more information like destroyable stuff for loot
- Can't view active Arcanas at any time (you can only see them during shuffle time)
- Can't view the description of active Arcanas (the game expects that you memorize what each one does based on a tiny image at the bottom left)
- Can't cancel shuffle time, if an Arcana you don't want appears and there is no other choice, you will have to take that Arcana
