Finally, someone who values the cast starting as not being too friendly. That part was pretty unique to P3 in comparison to the later games.

[jairekambui]

This is what I’ve been saying, it’s not definitive, but it’s going to be the best version, and that’s all that really matters.

I've played P5R and P4G last year and I'm so glad that I get to play the best version of P3. This series has become one of the most impactful gaming experiences for me.

[AwsmNix]

If there were less floors of Tartarus, we’d have to intentionally grind on the same floors more which would’ve less exciting than being much closer to the level you want to be just by going thru the tower

My very first Persona game, oddly enough, was Persona Q for the 3DS. I loved the cast of both P3 and P4 and thought to play their original games. I bought P3FES on ebay and loved it to death, so to hear Reloaded stays faithful to the original had me on cloud nine.

[jsmith]

So glad they modernized this game. P3 vanilla is the first Persona game I ever played. Never even heard of the series or Atlus before this game. I liked going back to P3P every now and then, but it was hard to do so with the quality-of-life upgrades with P4/P5.

I can agree with Tartarus feeling like it drags, especially toward the end. Honestly, though - only based on what I can remember - I actually appreciated the feeling of “I just want to get there” as I’m running into strong foes and burning through resources knowing all the while that I would have to face what was waiting for me at the top.

cool review and but i have one question... what the hell is Yukari wearing at 6:26

[tdotran]

I’m hoping for a Switch version or even the next Switch.

[skeletoncrew]

I could listen to Macca talk about SMT games for hours on end.
Great review!

[Xxsorafan]

I’m disappointed they didn’t improve social links. (The magician) especially after playing kotone route and junpei having a much stronger magician social link. I’ll just wait for her to be released then

[osricen]

Good review! As I've been saying, if it sells good enough, I can see The Answer and the female protagonist coming back somehow!

[PindleofKujata]

Love this game, but I'm going to get it on a sale. My gaming budget is tapped for the next little while with FF7Rebirth and Dragon's Dogma 2 coming up.

[Enwhycee]

Female MC is most definitely gonna be DLC. That’s just how companies do it these days.

[drewson]

So I’m excited for this game but I’m a little confused, how does the story of the game work with only one dungeon? In P5 and P4 you had the whole transition from one “palace” to the other with the story moving forward and having to beat the palace within a certain number of days. Does this game have like a timeframe on how many floors you should get done before a certain time and progress the story?

[Solaspange]

19:20 everyone does move, very slightly almost like they’re playing freeze tag. Kind of creepy.

[ksd]

Does anybody know if P3R will get an enhanced version? I just want to know if I should wait or bu now.

[knuclearx]

I still haven't finished the FES version yet. I can't beat that dang Table. Eh, one day...

[MC_Hammerpants]

It's definitive if you don't care about audio. The audio sounds so thin and weak compared to FES. The voice acting is fine but definitely not on the level of the OG. The new OST largely has no soul and lost all its sub bass and mid range frequency.

[TheRscamaro]

I’m holding out hope that The Answer is going to be future DLC, though knowing Atlus we will probably just get an updated version of the game in about 2-3 years… maybe they can use that updated version as an excuse to port it to the Switch successor as I’m sure it will be available by then. For now though I’ll probably pick this up later for PS5 once it goes down in price. I love P3, it has my favorite characters in the series, but $70 for a remake that doesn’t have the FES content is a little much for me
