When Persona 3 Reload was first announced, I remembered that fateful day when a friend lent me his copy of Persona 3 FES. Even for a fan of JRPGs, this was, at the time, a niche series, and I had no idea what to expect. Soon, I found a world where high school students fight demons in a never-ending labyrinth, all while juggling friendships and studying for exams. It soon reeled me in, fast becoming one of my favorite RPGs. I've played other versions since, but none truly brought me back to that first time. I'm happy to report that Persona 3 Reload captures the magic while adding clever new mechanics to streamline the experience.
