This remake fixed all my issues with portable (which is still a great game, just dated). Persona 3 Reload is a triumph and shows that over a decade from the last, persona remakes are totally worth it. The quality of life changes make the game more accessible, the new additions in the dorm and add more charm to the story yet don’t take away from it, and as always, Atlus presentation is A++!! I’ve been hoping for a p3 remake since I beat portable in 2019, and I am beyond happy knowing this was worth the wait.
Pros:
- Modernizes a classic without taking away the original’s charm
- QOL changes help make game more accessible
- The new music arrangements are on par with the original soundrack
- New content is great
- Great voice cast; social link dialogue is awesome to finally have!
- 0 glitches or bugs, sadly that is not the standard these days and it should be!
- It has Atlus UI lol
Cons:
- Occasionally TOO easy (normal difficulty)
- Weird lighting choices (dorm, etc.)
- The answer is paid DLC (I understand FemC not being in the game because that’s like a whole other game)
- Would have liked a little bit more new content, in the same vein of the new Strega episodes (like on the bridge in the summer with you know who)
