This previous February, Persona 3 Reload launched a brand new technology of gamers to the primary “fashionable” entry within the Persona sequence, occurring to change into the quickest promoting sport in Atlus’ practically 40-year historical past. Whereas P3R is a monster of an RPG (offering this author over 90 hours of leisure), what’s left for our heroes as soon as they’ve vanquished Tartarus, ended the Darkish Hour, and set issues proper at Gekkokuan Excessive?
Unhappiness, principally.
As Episode Aigis -The Reply-, Reload‘s remake of the epilogue from 2007’s Persona 3 FES, kicks off, the temper is decidedly downbeat. Positive, cultish nemesis Strega is gone, and Apathy Syndrome is abating throughout Tatsumi Port Island. However with Persona 3 Reload‘s principal character falling within the remaining battle, and Iwatodai Dorm closing its doorways for good, the vibes really feel something however victorious. At the very least issues are again to regular, proper? Proper?
Because the surviving S.E.E.S. gang hangs out one final time within the dorm, midnight strikes, there’s an earthquake, in bursts one other Aigis-like android named Metis, and an enormous gap seems within the ground of the dorm’s foyer main downward. Caught in a time loop and unable to go away the dorm, the gang has no alternative however to discover the mysterious abyss which has appeared beneath the dorm.
Whereas Mitsuru, Junpei, and the gang aren’t precisely thrilled to be thrust again into the middle of a supernatural thriller, I couldn’t be extra excited to pattern the primary hour of Episode Aigis -The Reply-, leaping again right into a sport that I’ve frankly missed since finishing it this spring.
Selecting the controller again up for extra Persona 3 Reload was as acquainted and comfy as settling into my favourite spot on the sofa – with one wrinkle. With our principal character dearly departed, Aigis visits the Velvet Room, properly generally known as the place solely the heroes of Persona video games appear to have the ability to go to. This additionally implies that Aigis can now swap out personas in battle, identical to the hero of the complete sport.
In contrast to the countless staircase of Tartarus, there are clear pathways to select from within the Abyss of Time; showing as doorways in the course of a desert. As soon as inside, the moment-to-moment motion performs out as it’s possible you’ll keep in mind: exploring labyrinths, exploiting enemy weaknesses, and triggering All Out Assaults; extra of what folks love about Persona.
As for what else is new, the mysterious Metis does be part of the workforce, resulting in some enjoyable battle banter – she’s a little bit of a weirdo! I famous some new music tracks, becoming a member of these already imprinted in my mind. The primary hour additionally gives tantalizing hints that Persona 3 Reload‘s principal character might not be fully gone from this world. No matter the way it performs out, Aigis at all times had principal character vitality, and we’re in for a enjoyable experience as she takes the wheel for what guarantees to be a 30-hour epilogue journey.
