A New Moon .
Last week I bewilder or so 30 minutes of hands - on time with Persona 3 Reload , the forthcoming remake that is slated for 2024 . Whether you ’re a long - time fan or hopping into Persona 3 for the first fourth dimension , there ’s some stuff you should make out .
The Impossible Climb
First off , If you ’ve only play Persona 5 , you ’ll require to season your anticipation a spot . Persona 5 revolutionized the enfranchisement with its more heavily project and themed dungeons , making each feel like a unlike stem park drive . Persona 3 follows Tartarus , a randomized layout of story fabulously similar to Mementos which you ’re in all probability more familiar with .
The remake does very little in the way of switching things up . You ’re going to climb up all 250 level of Tartarus , and you ’ll need to adjudicate if you ’re on board with this character of RPG up front , because it ’s a core part of what stimulate Persona 3 and its account so compelling .
The first part of my demonstration focalize on clearing the first five floors of Tartarus , which consist of blue hallways with very small particular or compass point of interest . I ’d clear out a few opposition and count for the step to move on , culminating in a small gaffer fight against some tougher enemies . It was n’t much , but it was enough to see that the team took some of the timbre - of - lifetime improvements and flair of Persona 5 and weave it into Reload .
However , a lot of the repetitiousness of this discussion section was lap over by the intangible coolness gene of Persona 3 . Persona 3 is easy the gloomy account and aesthetical in the series , with each character muster up their personas by literally shoot themselves in the head with a gun call an “ Evoker . ”
When you finally tally an foe ’s failing with a Persona attack , a flashy blind break find and , when it hits just powerful with the redone soundtrack , you ’re all of a sudden cue how sick Persona 3 can be . This is only enhance with the updated visuals .
The 2nd demo I play was the train car sequence from the beginning of the game . It was an even more straightforward demonstration , but showcased more of the redone soundtrack and vocalisation acting , both of which are okay but ultimately do n’t abide out or have the same morsel as the original .

Once I made it through a few slightly more unmanageable fights , I got to the remnant of the wagon train railroad car and the first major boss appear . Using the unlike Personas at my electric pig , I made quick work of the boss , and the demonstration was over before I bang it .
While it was such a small slice of a very long secret plan , it was enough to see that Persona 3 Reload is Persona 3 with the Persona 5 style slapped over it . It smoothen out some of the edges that time has sharpened , but it still stay to be assure if Reload can retain the edge that made it tolerate amongst the other games in the series .
theatrical role 5 fans will certainly need to adjust to an older aim school of thought in terms of level layout and dungeon , but it ’s a story still worth revisit today . It ’s a bummer that it does not include some of the extra message and characters that P3 Portable and P3 FES add to the game .
