Persona 3 Reload: 11 Things to Know Before Starting

Persona 3 Reload is a massive RPG where you need to decide how to spend your precious time during the day and at night throughout a calendar year. It’s easy to miss some key features that can either make dungeon crawling and battling monsters easier or help build stronger relationships in the social sim elements. In this video, we'll go over some of the things we wish we knew earlier in Persona 3 Reload.

One thing you forgot to mention is whenever you go to tarturs after leaving make sure you go to the nurse office and drink the weird potion. It gives you a +1 to courage for free without using time

[@whyevenplaymekid5067]

Didn't know that. Thanks

Persona - the series that suggests pigging out at fast food restaurants makes you braver, smarter, more proficient & a lady's man!

[@al96n]

Is it worth buying the best armor and weapons early in the game?

[@sergiosalazar8702]

Not really Plus you can get some exploring Tartarus

[@RazgrizFllaga]

No. You need to save up money for your stats activities like food and arcade karaoke ewrly game. And softwares! These can cost uo to 40k after ur first tartarus visit. Save up!!

Any chance someone could tell me if there are separate audio sliders for music and sound?

[@sweetcheey]

Yes, there is one for each of them. BGM, Sound Effects, and Voice.

[@darksign1840]

Its okay to look up on guides from other players, They are so many things that are missable in the game. Having a to do list in each day of the month of the game is a must.

Damn im playing through P3P for the first time on switch and seeing P3Reload looks insane. Its upgraded the entire game to essentially match P5. Still, P3P does have a lot of charm to it and a great art style but its cool to see all of the locations in 3D and can run around them.

[@BorderFreak]

Believe in the original ps2 release you could actually walk around in that one

Don't forget the 12th thing, which is having to manually change your text from Japanese on Xbox to any other language either by adding text into the game folders on PC or by apparently changing your system language. There is a reddit post specifying what to do for those affected. The game bases the language automatically on your system's language, so it just stays Japanese if your language isn't on that list, like mine isn't.

[@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506]

Its on English from the start for me though.

Persona 6 is like gta 6 at this point whole world keeo asking for it but it will never happen lol

[@blushingralseiuwu2222]

Tbf, they are making Re:Fantazio, which is basically Persona but in modern fantasy settings. Game developer are artist too you know, easy to burnout when all they make is Persona.

[@jimmythegamer2231]

Are you not aware that GTA 6 was revealed like two months ago or are you living under a rock?

[@daiyahigashikata]

why are you acting like this didn't happen with persona 5? the oversaturation of p4 content had people saying p5 will never come out. relax and let them cook, we already know it's in development.

[@_SoCalDude_]

They're pulling an Elder Scrolls, just rerelease 100 different versions of Skyrim for a decade+ instead of giving people the sequel they want.

[@blushingralseiuwu2222]

@@_SoCalDude_ That's true for Persona 4 and 5, but its not true for Persona 3 though. It is considered by many hardcore fans to be the best Persona in term of story, but its not popular due to there is no definitive edition for the game. Its either PSP port that turn the game into visual novel, or ps 2 port that don't have PSP port quality of life changes. That's why Persona 3 Reload is needed, and a lot of people treat it as new tittle since its hard to experience the original anyway.

[@daiyahigashikata]

don't use it then. you won't even know it's there unless you look for it, and it only stores the last 5 days. rewinding a short term mistake is fine. this is kinda like getting mad at easy difficulty

[@alexanderluna4598]

Its basically there because p3 is the only game to have reverse/broken social links. And these can essentially lock you out of content entirely.

Things you need to know is PS4/PS5 English ver reg 3 sea only have Chinese text only!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hinatashoyo3774]

before playing Persona 3 Reload it is better to play other persona games such as Persona 1, Persona 2, Persona 3 (old), Persona 4, & Persona 5

[@tyrecarmon20]

Naw none of the stories are connected. They are standalone games

[@crashbandicoot5636]

If you're planning on sticking with the series then I'd be inclined to say yes. A lot of cameos happen in between games, sort of like how in Yakuza/Like A Dragon there are tons of recurring characters but they're not totally vital to the story of each entry.

[@eric56427]

Persona 5 was my first game and it was very user friendly. This new remaster plays similar to persona 5 while still having traits of persona 4 and 3 (old). But since each story is standalone, go with what interests you. This story is a tad bit darker

[@TheOriginalDogLP]

@@crashbandicoot5636 nah sorry the cameos are just little easter eggs, its completely different than the yakuza games (where you have a recurring cast).

huh no? each of the game are different wth do you mean😊
