Persona 3 Reload is becoming more real by the day, as evidenced by a new trailer introducing us to S.E.E.S's fearless protagonist, voiced by Aleks Le. In fact, Atlus has promised weekly character tributes, so please be excited about that. We get an appropriately awesome introduction to our stoic protagonist, who we can look forward to playing on PS5 and PS4 when this remade RPG launches on 2nd February.
We've about resigned ourselves to playing without our preferred protagonist and must admit Reload is starting to become an undeniably appealing prospect. The setting, story, and cast have always been fantastic, and the more we learn about the proposed changes, the more eagerly we anticipate a long-overdue return to Tartarus.

Where are you at with Persona 3 Reload? Did you play the game in any of its previous incarnations, or will this be your own introduction? Let us know in the comments section below.

Nothing's gonna change the fact that this remake would be so much better with the FemC instead of the boring Male MC, but I could kinda forgive them if they gave us the Answer or a new playable character + an extra playable semester with new story like P5 Royal did. Instead all we get is these new, miniscule "interaction" scenes and story "events". Their asking price is way too high for the amount of old content they're trying to sell the players. It's really apparent that their primary target audience for this is the people who've never played p3 before and don't know what they're missing. As for a veteran player like myself, I'll be waiting for the inevitable royal-like version that comes out 2 years later with the cut content included and buy it when it's on sale lol.
@GloriosaDaisy The femMC is not canon though and is a completely different character.
I understand the concerns for a royal/golden/fes edition.
But, if you played this game, you know that an extra semester is not possible. Answer wasn't particularly good either. I wonder if they will make an extended version for this one. There's really not much to add unless they change the ending.
@Nem I want them to change the ending, door-kun matters!!!
Although for me personally, I've played this game 3 times so I'm going to wait for a sale unless the changes are abundant.
This is an incredibly unpopular opinion but the exclusion of Femc isn't that bad, I guess?😅
Don't get me wrong, I love the Femc route but I can live without it. And regarding the FES content, it seems like aside from the answer some elements from FES will be present. So it isn't a complete plain remake as some people make it out to be.
But yeah I defo understand why some people aren't too particularly enthused, but personally I don't think it's as massive a deal breaker as some people are making it out to be. If we're lucky Persona 3 Reload Deluxe edition will release in the near future and fix everyone's issues.😂
But that's the thing.Will it? I can see them adding the answer as some expansion, but adding the Femc route seems like it will be quite the undertaking. People seem to forget that in P3P aside from having a model in the dungeon, Femc was essentially a walking portrait. Compare that to P3 Reload which has these big budget cutscenes. I don't know much about video game development but I'm sure it would take time to make new cutscenes from scratch.
Not only that but I'm sure the script is geared towards Door kun, so for Femc they would have to essentially change the script (not a whole but still) and change people's reactions to the protagonist, for example Junpei is obviously going to react differently to the Femc for obvious reasons😂. To display that would require new voice lines and that's only Junpei. What about the rest of the cast?😂. I could be very much wrong and would love to be corrected, but I think it would take really long to implement a femc route that doesn't revolve around text like P3P, but rather utilises a new model, different set of voice lines, different social links, etc.
But I would love to be proven wrong🤗
@homelesscretin Yes i agree, the people complaining aren’t considering those things at all, especially the person on top of the thread.
I swear my social life is going to absolutely plummet with this + all the other RPGs next year.
@GloriosaDaisy people still complaining about a non-canon character?
Still feels surreal seeing the Xbox logo before a Persona trailer!
Looking good there, can't wait
My guess is the game will sells 95% on playstation and 5% on xbox
@wiiware I'll be playing on Xbox gamepass so agree it won't sell much on xbox as there is no reason to buy it there. I can imagine switch sales will push hard against Playstation sales.
@Ralizah You'd best get used to it with the new Sega marketing partnership haha.
@Darylb88 I don't actually mind. Pretty stoked I'll be able to spend essentially nothing to play P5T and this on GP day one instead of shelling out $130 + tax.
@Ralizah I was just saying that to myself. Xbox having marketing rights is REALLY weird.
@Ralizah Yeah I'm going to save a fortune on Sega games via GP
@GloriosaDaisy "boring" male MC? The male MC is fine. Stop raging just because your waifu wasn't included. This game looks great, as a long time Persona 3 fan. Is the extra content being cut disappointing? Yes, but we've had that conversation to death. You can either keep whining about it for the next 5 months and beyond or accept this game for what it is, which is looking like an excellent remake of base P3.
