Persona 3 Reload has garnered praise for its faithful recreation of the beloved PS2 classic, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t introduced numerous changes, both minor and major, that distinguish it from the three other versions of Persona 3.
In this breakdown, we’ll delve into as many of these changes as possible because, quite frankly, it’s enjoyable. Whether you’re a newcomer starting with Reload and are curious about what’s new, or you’re a veteran fan looking to reminisce about the golden days of the PS2 era.
While we’ll primarily focus on gameplay and visual disparities, we’ll touch on story variances as well. However, I won’t dissect every new story addition, as there are quite a few, and that would warrant its own separate discussion.
I’m keen on avoiding spoiling everything, so if you’re aiming for a completely fresh experience, you might want to skip this discussion. That said, spoilers will still be present, covering events up to the beginning of September in-game.
