The first time I played Persona 3 was in 2017, I played Persona 3 FES and would later play Persona 3 Portable in 2018. I've played FES several times and Portable twice. Persona 3 has easily become one of my favorite games. Despite never asking for a Persona 3 remake, I was pretty receptive to the idea upon seeing the trailer footage as it seemed as though Persona 3 Reload was going to be faithful to the original PS2 Persona 3 with a few returning features from Persona 3 FES. I was mentally prepared to possibly making a Persona 3 Reload review. While no content from Persona 3 Portable was included, I was still open to seeing what else new and old the P3RE had to offer. In this Persona 3 Reload analysis we will answer these questions:
Does P3R live up to the standard of the original P3 or P3F? Does it exceed it?
Find out how Persona 3 Reload missed the mark of perfection on Dragon Bal-- I mean, my Persona 3 Reload Critique.

(It should be noted that the DLC for Episode Aigis / The Answer was announced towards the end of this video's production, so I guess Reload will be the "new" P3FES for some people.)
