Persona 3 Reload is a great version of the PS2 classic. Definitely the best way to play on current hardware. Persona and turn based RPGs should definitely check it out.

Now some minor things I prefer about FES, which makes it my preferred version. I miss the exhaustion mechanic. It was a nice measure to keep from grinding too long in Tartarus. Though other mechanics exist in Reload, I still like exhaustion because it played more into normal life. I felt some cut scenes were more impactful in FES. Mainly the opening. On the other hand, the ending was masterfully done in Reload. That's about it. Very minor things.

Reload is great and worthy of its praise.
