Persona 3 Reload: Story And Gameplay
While the game was originally just one part of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, its popularity has massively outgrown the original franchise. But, the main gameplay mechanics still remain similar to those of the other series' editions.
The protagonist is a classic orphan-hero, whose parents were killed in a fatal car clash almost a decade ago, and who wishes to visit his hometown again. There, he gets the ability to wield his Persona, which is a physical manifestation of his inner spirit.
Our protagonist joins a group called S.E.E.S. (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad) and joins them in their fight against shadows, while also trying to uncover the mystery of the Dark Hour.
You'll have to juggle your school life and your S.E.E.S work, as you progress through Tartarus to find out more about the Dark Hour. Throughout the game, you can increase your relationship with your fellow team members and other NPCs, which will also benefit you in battle.
There are various skills and tactics that you can utilize throughout the game to become better in battle, but don't forget that you're still in school! Persona 3 Reload also offers plenty of free-time activities for you to choose from.
Once we find out more about Persona 3 Reload, we'll let you know!
