Done with Persona 3 Reload. Gotta say I was a little underwhelmed. Story-wise it's way worse than both P4 and P5. P3 has nothing going on for the majority of the game. It's just month after month of story not developing one bit. Party members aren't exactly the best either. Especially those that join later on. They get barely any introduction, they are just there suddenly. Also Junpei is the most annoying character I've encountered in Persona games thus far. Tartarus wasn't as bad as I expected, still far far worse than P5 castles. What annoyed me the most is that there aren't that many locations/activities when free roaming the city. There are only two social links that are available in the evening. So I used these times to max out my social stats and by August or September I was already maxed out. After that there was NOTHING to do for over 4 months straight in the evening. Quite a design flaw. Did the game expect me to beat only one Tartarus floor every night? Because that would've been possible... 7.5/10 |
I can wholeheartedly say the female MC is far superior IMO. She adds more SLinks that add to the story. More night time Social links as well. I remember having that issue with the male MC with having nothing to do at night. Really wish they re-worked those at to make the flow feel better.
People apparently love Junpei because he progresses so much as a character throughout the game. While that might be true, it's only because they set him up to be so unlikeable. Definitely my personal least favorite in the series as well. |
I feel the opposite. He's somewhat likeable in the beginning but still a loser when it comes to women and then he suddenly wins over a woman's heart out of nowhere with minimum effort. Furthermore he's the only one to blame and attack the main character for something he has no control over towards the end of the game.
