Obviously have not made a ton of headway into the game yet, but if you're reading this I implore you to certainly buy the game (it seems like a really good remake thus far) - but, after you have done so, but BEFORE STARTING RELOAD, either play or watch the first bit of a playthrough of Persona 3 FES for the PlayStation 2 (through the in-game date of April 10th).

For whatever reason, they decided to replace some of the most important early-game animated cutscenes with in-engine renders in this new version, and it REALLY hurts the overall impact of the early story moments. By the time you've seen through April 10th, you're good to swap over to Reload to keep playing for the improvements that have been made (although this being said FES is also fantastic and is still a valid option that Reload cannot yet fully replace).

Also rip shuffle time you will be missed o7
