This was my first Persona game, and my first experience with anything from Atlus. Words can hardly describe the way this game has made me feel. Anger, melancholy, joy, everything. I know this sounds cringe, but Persona 3 has genuinely transformed how I see the world and myself. Before playing, I viewed the world through a lens of fear and judgment. I focused so much on the negative aspects of life, convinced that people, as a whole, were inherently selfish. Persona 3 shifted my perspective in ways I never expected. Through its story, characters, and themes, it taught me that life is a mixture of beauty and struggle, and that our connections with othersāno matter how fleeting or painfulāare what give life its meaning. It reminded me that while thereās darkness in the world, thereās also light, hope, and redemption. The gameās central theme of memento mori, or āremember you must die,ā left a HUGE impression on me. Rather than being morbid or depressing, it serves as a call to embrace life with purpose and optimism. Persona 3 doesnāt shy away from the reality of mortality but instead uses it as a reminder of how precious and fleeting our time really is. It taught me to cherish every moment, to value the people in my life, and to confront challenges head-on, knowing that each day is an opportunity to grow. Sorry this is cringe, this game was just so peak lol.

Persona games have a unique ability to make me mourn the fact that they're going to end even though I'm only like, halfway through.

As a disclaimer, I never played the original P3, Portable, or FES prior to playing Reload. And my only exposure to Persona prior to this was playing Persona 5 Royal two years ago. So this was my first time with the Persona 3 experience. When comparing Persona 3 to Persona 5, I'll admit I think the gameplay of Persona 5 was slightly better, and definitely had more flair. But the story, characters, and structure of Persona 3 hit me like a truck in a way I was not prepared for. Obviously I won't spoil the story elements, but despite feeling like the game had a slow start when I first started playing, I found myself intrigued by how well everything connected in the end, even seemingly isolated events. The story just builds on itself. I consider myself a fairly stoic person. I very much internalize my feelings, so even when experiencing intense emotion, I don't outwardly express them. But Persona 3 put actual tears in my eyes at least 3 times. That's a feat that doesn't happen often in any game. What most surprised me was the characters. Again, no spoilers, but I'm very used to characters in all JRPGs having their character arc and just being "done". But in Persona 3, it really felt like characters developed throughout the entire game, even those you got early. I will say that I think the voice actors all nailed the roles for each and every character. I know there was some debate about characters being recast from the OG, but in terms of viewing the game on its own, I think every VA absolutely nailed it with their deliveries. True to Persona fashion, you build your relationships with characters, both party members and NPCs. Interesting to note that the male party members don't have social links but still have hangout episodes which are arguably just as valuable for character development. My only criticism about social links is that the party member social links are very back-loaded by only really being fully accessible in the 2nd half of the game. But even that has narrative significance in the sense of building those relationships over the game. Gameplay-wise, although I did say that I slightly prefer P5, the game is still classic turn based fun with modern QoL. The concept is familiar; your Personas determine your abilities and stats, with the MC having multiple Personas and your party having one each. Hitting a weakness will knock down an enemy, and knocking down all enemies triggers an all out attack for big damage. You get an extra turn per knockdown, and can pass your turn to another party member after a knockdown to specifically target weaknesses. What sets P3's gameplay apart from P5 is Theurgy, a mid-game "super move" that all party members have, and most ignore resistances/immunities. Considering different party members have different conditions for charging Theurgy, it keeps the strategy fresh. Much of Persona 3's gameplay takes place in Tartarus, which is an extremely long dungeon that you progress through during the game, with each border to the next segment being gated by game progression. It was notorious in the OG, but in the remake, it's not bad! I will mention that it sometimes suffers from some minor frame drops, not to the extent of chugging, but Tartarus's visuals effects do slow down the game somewhat on occasion. Now, I'm sure there's one big question and that question is length. Persona 5 was infamously long after all, so how does Persona 3 compare? I beat the game at 76 hours, so I'd say an average is about 80. It's long, but not obscenely so like P5, so it's more reasonable. And of course, the music slaps. While music is subjective and I know some people prefer the OG songs, every song I heard did a good job evoking the desired emotion, whether it be dread, hype, or depression. The music lives rent free in my mind at all times. Overall, I say this very rarely, but this game was a 10/10 for me personally. Will it be for everyone? Maybe not. But for any lover of RPGs, Persona games, or just stories with well written characters, Persona 3 Reload is a must play. I absolutely adore this game.
