(review for v1)

fun, story is rly good and engaging compared to something like ff14's a realm reborn, great base game

i wanted a definitive version of persona 3 but what we got with reload is a really good third version that still doesn't manage to make portable or fes obsolete, not even close. it is p3 though and just like the other versions its goated

my least favorite of the trilogy but still pretty great

10/10 BUT........
the menu for selecting accessories is not sufficient when you have six party members and need them to have three accessories each, i was barely changing accessories in the lategame just to avoid that menu

gameplay was mostly a straight downgrade from base game (with a few exceptions)
story was great tho, proper conclusion to everything up to this point

surprised by how good story and combat were

played on expert, really enjoyed the progression and loot, felt super rewarding
combat was a mixed bag, ai party members just arent good enough for some enemy types on expert, theyll pretty often walk into attacks and get one-shot
i dont remember a single thing abt the story it was fine i guess

they call me NPC numero uno, buddy

combat is top tier out of all the games ive ever played, everything else is just alright but holy shit that COMBAT bro............

combat is perfect mechanically and i never got tired of it even during the scramble slams, fuck the rhinos and jellyfish tho
characters are perfect, story is good but doesnt feel overall as focused as the first game

combat is top tier
story and characters are great
some mechanics are more annoying than engaging or interesting but i appreciate them trying something new
