Every game in history should contain a realistic dog as a playable character.
Finally, after all this time, Persona 3 is a good game! Yeah this kinda fixed almost every single problem with the original Persona 3 and added so much that it basically feels like a new game. The cutscenes look amazing now, both with an improved Royal visual style and the 2D cutscenes looking absolutely incredible. The voice acting is done amazingly well, and the combat is GOOD now with multiple new features including the ability to control your other party members FINALLY. The dorm visually and sonically is fairly neutered compared to the OG, but the rest of the new songs and tartarus areas look great and... oh yeah...
See, the one thing holding this game back from the 10/10 it was so close to getting was Tartarus. It's definitely not AS boring, but i don't know, I still didn't really vibe with it. The structure just doesn't work for me and we spend enough of the game in there that it definitely detracts from it a little bit. I'd argue about the fact that The Answer and FeMC aren't here but one would be such a massive undertaking that it would nearly double the work they'd need to do, and the other is not only getting worked on as DLC apparently, but also sucks!
Regardless of these flaws, Persona 3 Reload is a near flawless remake that finally makes this game reach its full potential, giving you a fun, content-rich, visually-masterful, sonically-masterful, and incredibly deep avenue to experience what very well may be the best story ever put into a Role-Playing game, now with such an improved presentation that old scenes I experienced a while ago hit a whole lot different now. It fucking hurts man.
And the best part? This may not be the last great atlus RPG we get this year. We are so back.
