I'm genuinely so sad that this game is 70 USD because I want everyone I know to play it.

Persona 3 always had my favorite story out of the Persona games but I never was able to recommend it to anyone with Persona 5 now being most peoples' introductions, the gameplay is a MASSIVE hurdle to get over.

Now with Reload, I can share my love for this story with others, and goddamn it is done justice.
I genuinely don't understand for the most part why I've seen so many OG fans have problems with this remake outside of the steep price for The Answer and the lack of FEMC(which they explained at a money and time problem, which does make sense)

I'm gonna be honest, it feels like a nostalgia thing.

But what I said in my P3P review applies here, the original story changed my life and it rings true here, with new layers.
The gorgeous new cutscenes, though they don't have quite the same charm as the old, are breathtaking and add another layer of emotion to this greek tragedy.

Koromaru putting his head in Shinjiro's hand, Chidori's body going limp, Makoto's smile. It's the little things. Like life.
