Persona 3 Reload Really Is a Gorgeous Remake in First 50 Mins of Uncut Gameplay

Tempted to get to skip it or just Gamepass it and wait a year for the true version on PS5. FF7R is out next month so two 100 hour games in one month is just too much for me nowadays and i'm way more hyped for FF7R.

@DennisReynolds What do you mean, “true” version? Are you assuming Atlus will do yet another Royal style release and maybe include the FES content or something?

I’ve already preordered it, and I cannot wait.

I'm excited for the game but it will have to wait til after LAD:IW and FF7R-2
To many amazing, massive JRPGs at once

@dskatter Is it assuming? Its Atlas the chances of a "Reloaded" edition is pretty damn high.

I can’t wait to see it preloaded on my console

@DennisReynolds You could very well be right! Heck, my disc copies of vanilla P3 and FES on PS2 do establish a long history of this. I just wanted to understand what you meant!

Looking forward to the Locked and Reloaded edition in 2026.

@dskatter There is a higher chance of LOTR: Gollum becoming playable than Atlus not releasing a more complete version of Persona 3. Why? Well, it's simple:

Persona 5 got the "Persona 5 Royal: 1 More Edition" when rereleased on the PS5. I will repeat this: "1 More Edition". Atlus literally doesn't care anymore even when naming their re-re-re-releases.

Might hold out for the "Persona 3: You waited for a year so here is the real edition" Edition where they add FES content and another swimsuit

Like most people here, I'll wait until they release the full version in a year or so.

I probably play this a little on Gamepass but I be focusing playingGranblue Relink.

Cool.persona reload is going to be amazing.word up son

@Czar_Khastik I mean…at least THIS time the PS4 and PS5 versions came out at the same time! So there’s that at least?

@DennisReynolds Well not for a remake as far as I recall. Like they haven't made a persona 4 golden : Remix edition. They make the og (which they have already done) then they make the remake with changes. I mean it's not impossible but if they did try and add fes in another version it would feel very scummy and I hope they wouldn't trade goodwill for money 🙏🏿

@Kylekgh I would like to believe that since I 've preordered but I don't 😅

No need for me to watch the video. I'll be playing this day 1 on my Series X thru Game Pass and pick up a physical copy for PS5 after a price drop.

@Kylekgh P4 Golden wasn't a remake it was an enhanced edition. P3 Reload is the first time they ever remade a Persona game and considering how much content its missing its clear they're saving that content for a "Reloaded" edition in 1-2 years. Atlas always do this.

Looking great, I'm looking forward to playing this next week.

@DennisReynolds "The true version"? you mean like Persona 4 Golden which was only next gen enhanced native 4k and 120hz for the Series X. Whilst the PS5 got the old 60fps PS4 version ?

@DennisReynolds doubt ff7 rebirth will be anything close to 100 hours unless we are talking about a padded out completionist run. average playtime has been confirmed to be in the 50 hour range like the previous game.

@Porco Its confirmed to be longer and it has a huge open world, i can see the Platinum being around that long.

Knowing Atlus and their history I do wonder if they'll do the same double release for ReFantazio... will we get a Re-Election edition in a year?

With P3 Reload I'm probably going to do a fast and loose playthrough on Game Pass and save the completionist run for when the FES/Golden/Royale edition comes out because it will happen - they cut too much from the old complete version not to.

Whenever I see "first more than 5 minutes" (50 wtf) I know the game is way too long (For a good game that is perfect length of around 5 hours or something more than 5 minutes to show would be pretty bad). But it's free on Gamepass, so will check out the first.. 2 minutes and then see

Video got taken down
@Grimwood well the original game is said to take 82 hours and Persona 3 Portable is 65 hours so 50 minutes isn't spoiling much. Persona games are heavy on story and introduction in the first few hours.
