That was one of the greatest video games I have ever played.

I honestly wasn’t sure where this game would land along 4 and 5 with me loving both of them as much as I do, but this game stands strong with both of em as 10/10s.

Persona 3 has what I think is the series’s best cast. Every single character is so deep in a way that 4 and 5 hits with most but not all of their casts. ALSO THE SOCIAL LINKS IN THIS GAME ARE SOOO GOOD!!

This remake brings the gameplay up to the modern standard that was set by P5, and executes on it perfectly. I do think I prefer P5’s palaces, but Tartarus was still way better than people online lead me to believe.

And GOD that story! I unfortunately knew a good amount of the plot since I watched the movies years ago, but god it hits so much harder in game form. This game handles the theme of death so incredibly well, and even got me thinking about my own life more.

I don’t entirely know yet how I would rank the Persona games just yet, but the fact that there is a chance I would put this game over P5 is wild considering that game is a top 5 game of all time, but it really just is that good.

I loved this game a lot. It’s not officially confirmed yet, but it’s rumored that this game is getting DLC adding in missing content from FES, and I will be there day one.
