Little ahead of schedule on this one haha.
Trailer for P3 Reload is in the article and https://streamable.com/ta66ul if you would like to watch it early.
Looks cool! Appears to be the same engine/style as Persona 5. Should breathe new life into a classic game.
I am so happy that this game gets the full on treatment. P3FES was my first game in the series and, still today, is one of the most meaningful gaming experiences I had. However I have a hard time recommending the original releases to people today even if they are fans of character driven RPGs; It’s clunky, extremely RNG reliant and slow paced.
I hope that this remake will allow players to engage with the narrative in a new way allowing them to experience a dark and dramatic story.
That said: I also hope that we’ll see quite some improvements. Especially when it comes to the Dungeon part of the game just “making you able to control the whole team” won’t do; it will require a complete re-balance. People who modded the original P3 releases will know what I mean - and also remove the mandatory “romancing” of people of the opposite gender. I was in my teens when I played the original, I don’t feel comfortable anymore with such actions when I am in my thirties tbh. Lastly I really hope that they will include the Epilogue “The Answer”.
