3 weeks have passed since the release of Persona 3 Reload and some have already completed it (I hope) and therefore you can post MY opinion about this game. I suggest starting with the disadvantages of the game, because with everything good, we must first discuss the worst.
Social connections
The basis of the Persona series is social connections and friendship – something that no Jrpg game can do without, but fans of such games do (tested on me).
And although the remake got rid of the break in social connections and the characters for these connections are interesting, a problem arises that in the evening, supposedly the ideal time in the game for leveling up relationships, there is no one to level up these relationships with and there is nothing left to do in the evenings.
No social media. connections in the evenings, but a smiley doesn’t count
And I can’t deal with the indicators, because I’ve already upgraded them in the most stupid way: I just went to a conventional cafe where the indicator is given
Tartarus
It would seem like an ordinary map of one of the floors in Tartarus, but the problem is that almost all the floors here are like this, and there are 255 of them in Tartarus for a second. And even looking at the attempt to make Tartarus more diverse, I can only call it 255 circles of hell.
Subjectivity
Never complete these two tasks in Persona 3 Reload, otherwise you will regret it greatly
For Mitsuro’s sake, I had to become almost a real genius in order to become a genius in the game, and the rest of the indicators improved on their own
What about the advantages??
Persona 3 Reload is extremely pleasing to the eye in terms of graphics. I’m serious
I love this menu, so beautiful and https://juicyvegascasino.co.uk/bonus/ smooth
Or take an evening stroll through the Pavlovnia shopping center
Unreal Engine 5 does its job and we look at this beauty. I have nothing more to say here. Although, some complained that everything was too bright and not as dark and horror as in the original. Of course, everyone has their own marker, but I would look at a dark remake
Russian localization
As you may have noticed from the pictures, the game has a Russian localization, which means that it’s time to joke that “Persona fans will play Persona for the first time.” Initially, the first game in the series with an official Russian translation was supposed to be Persona 5 Tactica – a spin-off of the 5th part, but something went wrong and the translation remained only in the files.
Persona 3 Reload Original Soundtrack
Personally, I exploded with excitement even during the P3R trailers when “The meaning of armbands” started playing, but when the game came out, that’s when I knew the bliss of “Full Moon, Full Life” “Iwatodai Dorm” “Want To be close” And many many others
By the way, I didn’t play the original, but after completing the remake I decided to listen to the OST of the original and realized that it’s better in Reload, take the same Changing seasons. Reload has a great track, but in the original there’s something in French that I don’t understand.
Battles
To be honest, they should also have been included in the graphics advantages, because almost every battle action is accompanied by beautiful animation
Found an enemy’s weakness – here’s an ultra-beautiful animation for you
Passed the move to a friend – here’s the animation
Used the character’s special attack (Theurgy) – keep the animation beautiful
And of course the plot
If someone already thought that Persona 3 Reload is just a beautiful wrapper, then no. It has both a plot and interesting characters with their own cockroaches in their heads, which we, like any person, help to sort out. These are the terms of the contract.
Let’s quickly move on to connections:
Connections are not only skill boosts for individuals, but also a way to get to know the local world a little better. There are only 3 types of communication.
1. Arcana
These connections add experience to the created personas and make themselves felt at the end of the game. Sometimes, in order to make one connection, you need to improve your relationship with another
To upgrade your relationship with Hayase, you must first upgrade your relationship with Miyamoto to the maximum, etc. d.
On my own behalf, I advise you to fulfill them, because this is a condition of the contract, which no one reads, but you can, of course, not do all this, but as far as I know, for this they will give you a hit in the final in the form of a not very good ending.
2. Team S.E.E.S
We are the leader of SEES, which means the team must respect us. Leveling up relationships with girls works the same way as with arcana. With the male part, everything is a little easier: when they want to call you, they are marked as exclamation marks, and it doesn’t take so long to upgrade your relationship with them.
They are displayed with emoticons and they can pump up the hero’s performance and open up a bonus to the theurgy of the character with whom we spend time.
There are also walks with Elizabeth, the lady who stands at the entrance to the Velvet Room, but this is entirely your desire. You can walk with her after completing a certain number of her instructions
