Nearly a decade ago, I put around 60 hours into Persona 3 Portable but I never finished it. I certainly enjoyed my time with it (it just so happens that the timestamp on my last save is exactly 10 days before my son was born), but with so many different versions of Persona 3 available today, the thought of returning has always been a little intimidating. Though having several versions is not unique to Persona 3, it is still a bit of a confusing fact to wrap your head around – from the original Persona 3 to Persona 3 FES, Persona 3 Portable, and now the upcoming remake, Persona 3 Reload. That's not even counting the various ports over the years.
So what is it that sets Persona 3 Reload apart? Well, first and foremost, it's a remake of the original Persona 3 story. Functionally, that means everything from the original PS2 game but don't expect major elements from Persona 3 Portable or Persona 3 FES to make an appearance. For example, P3P's female protagonist option is nowhere to be seen – and doesn't appear to be something they're sitting on quietly.
