After finishing both Persona 3 Reload and Persona 3 Portable, I would have to say that Reload is a bit better in my opinion although there were some things Portable did better like for example the acting was better at some highpoints of the game (And a lot better in FES compared to the rest). Battle music is such a step up as well, I really love it's going down now!, Color your night and Full moon Full life. They are amazing soundtracks and never really get annoying in my opinion.

Gameplay wise: The game has improved a lot. For example batton pass added, easier combat system, new abilities and more satisfying combat. Although the game felt like the easiest one of all the Persona games I've played in my opinion.


I'm a bit disappointed the answer isn't included in the game and it's instead a DLC, although I'm not really upset over FEMC not being in the game.

Other: Can't wait to play "the answer" because it will be my first time playing it because I never had FES even though I would have loved to tried it out. Heartful cry will feel epic when I hear the Reloaded version.


Either way I would definitely recommend this game or Portable if you want a different experience or cheaper price if graphics is not a huge problem for you or you could play them both like I did. Persona 3 is one of my favorite games of all time with Persona 5. I love the story and the message of the game and I think that Persona 3 is better than Persona 5. I would definitely give this game a try if I were someone else.

Spoilers of Persona 3 Reload (Do not check if you haven't played this game)!
Takeharu Kirijo's and Ikutski's death felt a bit lame compared to the Portable version, the music didn't really fit in and I felt like the acting was a lot better on Portable and definitely on FES. Also Nyx's final boss was a lot easier and shorter compared to the one on Portable which was a pretty big disappointedment.

Currently playing on Merciless difficulty.
