The Persona franchise, developed by ATLUS, has five mainline games; Persona, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Persona 3, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal.
Recently, ATLUS has created remakes that fans were desperately asking for. And seeing how Persona 4 and Persona 5 have gotten re-releases, ATLUS figured it was time to create a remake of arguably the fan-favorite game in the series; Persona 3.
Persona 3, originally released July 16, 2006, 18 years later, its time has come to get a fresh breath of air. Persona 3 Reload, the game’s remake, released on Feb 1, 2024. And fans were quick to get their hands on it. But what makes the game so great?
The “Dark Hour” is a secret hour that takes place. Most humans are unaware about this until it’s too late, by then they are turned into coffins and shadows. The Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (S.E.E.S) are tasked with dealing with these monsters and ultimately fighting the 12 monsters that represent the tarot cards.
Enter the new transfer student, who shows strange acknowledgment to the Dark Hour but does not get turned. Taken aback by the development, S.E.E.S decides to take in the protagonist and make him the newest member.
Persona 3 Reload has drastically improved on the turn-based combat system that its predecessor had. Before, players could not control their party members so they could only use the main character (the player), and set commands to their party members such as supporting, attacking, and no spells/actions.
Instead, players can control their party members, play and devise plans as they wish, and make combat free-flowing. On top of new combat animations, critical hit cut-ins, new models, and almost everything you can think of.
Fans are beyond happy to see Igor and velvet room attendant Elizabeth back to help the protagonist fuse personas, acquire new spells, and arguably the best part, hang out with Elizabeth.
