Current Events > Are you playing Persona 3 Reload?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm currently almost in January at about 59 hours. This game doesn't feel as long as I remember, but I'm still clocking in at about the same amount of hours I do for P4.

I love all the small little scenes they added, like the study sessions in the dorm. It makes everyone feel much closer and more like friends than they did in the original. And I'm of the opinion that the CG scenes are FAR better than the shit quality anime cutscenes from the original that the CG scenes replaced.

Not yet; I've played various other versions of P3 three times, and am currently addicted to Granblue Relink. Will grab it eventually though.

Played it, Finished it, platinum trophy obtained so when ever i decided to do a NG+ run of it i will be mostly just using it to build some persona's to fight the superboss with

Kinda surprised they didn't link a trophy to the Superboss

Also loved the new voice cast, Just took some time to get used to a few

Yeah, I'm 55 hours in and in September. Having fun.

nah gonna wait for its updated version before i play it

I don't think that's going to happen. The Answer has already been datamined as future DLC. Some people think that's not proof of anything, but I think they're nuts.

Im 19 hours in and on 10/17. Seems like a very short game so far.

Have you skipped every cutscene, social link, and request from Elizabeth...?

wtf? You must be skipping stuff. The first few months are short but the length really picks up around July.

THANK YOU! I can't believe people actually want those trash ass cutscenes back.

Damn I'm around 50 hours and only in July.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Not sure what there is to be nostalgic about anyway, they look pretty bad.

Not yet. I have some games that I wanna get through first, but it's definitely on my wishlist. I just beat Persona 5 Royal last month and absolutely loved it.

Already 100% completed it. Now doing a 100% P5R run.

The game seems so slow, and I read the subtitles much faster than they can speak; combine that with the enormous amount of exposition, yes, I hit the start button quite frequently to fast forward through the dialogue to get to the damn point.

I also definitely skip those requests, because wtf is the point of them? Seems boring // for completionists.

Social Links- I skipped a bunch because theyre boring as fuck // creepy. I hit level 10 for Yukari, Chihori, Tanaka, Maya, little girl (the ending of that one was creepy as fuck; it suddenly turned to the MC grooming her wtf), and am working to get to level 10 for the dying young kid, but the other ones seem like a bore // I dont care. Namely the magician, star, track guy, and old couple, I really dont give a shit.

you get some good SP recovery items like Soma's, equipment, twilight fragments, jewels for item fusion

Yes. Never played the original and I'm clocking in around 30 hours and just got the robot with the finger guns.

Started it up yesterday finally... Wanted to get through a couple other games that came out at the same time (Like Infinite Wealth and Suicide Squad)...

About 8 hours in and just got to Arqa... Played through P3P late last year to have a good idea of comparison and really enjoying the improvements so far...

I got a list here, and here are my thoughts (spoiler warning?):
Magician arcana Social Link - Classmate (Kenji Tomochika)
I really dont give a shit for this guy trying to hook up with a teacher. I stopped hanging out with this dude.

Priestess arcana Social Link - Fuuka Yamagishi
I really dont care for her being bad at cooking either. I have no interest in continuing this one.

Emperor arcana Social Link - Student Council (Hidetoshi Odagiri)
Dont give a shit to this asshole trying to be a fascist running a student council lol.

Hierophant arcana Social Link - Old Couple (Mitsuko and Bunkichi)
Boring I also think I cant continue this one because I didnt save them in Tartarus.

Lovers arcana Social Link - Yukari Takeba
Interesting plot, and got to 10.

Chariot arcana Social Link - Track Team (Kazushi Miyamoto)
Really dont care about this dude either.

Justice arcana Social Link - Treasurer (Chihiro Fushimi)
Shyness was cute and it was interesting to watch her grow. Got to 10.

Hermit arcana social link - Online Game (Maya)
The thought of a game in a game seemed interesting, and I thought it would have some neat mini game, but nope. I also thought the MC and the teacher will meet in school, but it didnt happen.

Fortune arcana Social Link - Art Club (Keisuke Hiraga)
Dont care.

Strength arcana Social Link - Team Manager (Yuko Nishiwaki)
This girl seems like an airy ditz, and I had zero interest.

Hanged arcana Social Link - Girl at the Shrine (Maiko the grade-schooler)
Got to 10. She had the most interesting and growth throughout so far; but the last level 10 scene was creepy as fuck.

Temperance arcana Social Link - Transfer Student (Bebe)
This dude is a creep. No thanks.

Devil arcana Social Link - Businessman (Tanaka)
Funny, and got to level 10.

Star arcana Social Link - Rival Athlete (Mamoru Hayase)
I dont really care.

Moon arcana Social Link - Gourmet King (Nozomi Suemitsu)
Fat ass wants to be in a cult; whatever.

Sun arcana Social Link - Dying Young Man (Akinari Kamiki)
Im interested in seeing this one to level 10.

It's on my backlog, so I plan on playing it eventually. I'm probably just going to wait for the complete version of it or whatever because that backlog is quite large, with a few games that are probably going to take me a while to beat (P3R itself, OG FF7 that I never played before, the FF7 remakes, and Dragon's Dogma 2), so I figure I might as well just wait.

Beat it a week ago. Loved it.

it suddenly turned to the MC grooming her wtf

Well that's just not what happened.

But yeah, hanging with a little girl in a playground is pretty sus, even if MC is also a kid himself.

I mean at the end, she kisses him and says she wants to marry him. That ended on a very strange note for me.

Yeah, that's just a cliche thing little kids say. Happens in real life, too.

Fuck off, the old couple are great.

I just got to the part where someone dies, and it makes no sense to me.

SPOILERS

How does Chidori and Junpei fall in love so quickly over absolutely nothing? What did Chidori even do to make Junpei love her so much, except look like some weird maid sitting on a bench drawing stuff? I get why Chidori liked Junpei, because Junpei kept her company when she was in the hospital for months, but there was no reason for Junpei to do that in the first place, and didnt make much sense for Chidori to fall in love with him so quickly either.

END SPOILERS

I'll play it later this year some time. I'm in the middle of some other games right now.

That does happen at the end of the game.

Man I leave this game idling way too often lmfao I'm only in October working my way up Tartar Sauce and I've got like 95 hours on my save file.

I got it last Sunday and am in June right now. I like it almost as much as I enjoyed p5. It really doesn't feel like an old game, not sure how much was updated compared to the original since I never played it.

i really just took it as a babysitter crush, don't think there's any implication the MC sees her in that way.

3P spoilers
Ken's SL on the FeMC route other hand..........really who thought that was a good idea

Im trying to finish up a replay of Cyberpunk 2077 and a first play of Phantom Liberty, and have started playing Helldivers 2 with a friend. Ive considered playing P3 when Im done with Cyberpunk though.

They were drawn like shit, but the direction of them was better. Especially for the intro and the MC awakening his Persona on the rooftop.

Nope. Played FES twice previously, and I played P4G twice and P5R three times this year. I'm burned out on Persona for awhile. I plan to play P3P for the FeMC route next time I'm in the mood to play P3.

Besides, it released at full price, i'll pick it up eventually when it goes on sale.

Fair enough but why wouldnt a from the ground up remake launch at full price?

Now at the beginning of July. Probably not going to get much further since I am likely going to focus on ff7 when it comes out and I'll only get an hour or two a day before that. Might alternate between the two games but I struggle with that sometimes.

Lots of games on steam launch with a sale, but my comment was more of a reason for me to not buy it (can't afford to buy games at full price right now), and not a statement that all games should be on sale first day.

That depends on the effort it took to do the remake. If its like that Mario vs Bowser whatever, thats not a big lift compared to say, P3R.
