After finally completing and exploring everything this game had to offer, this DLC was more than satisfactory. It really felt like I was playing a sequel instead. The difficulty was there but it didn't seemed entirely impossible despite the ever long lasting chain of combos from some bosses. Fair note that I was doing a Guts build throughout the entire expansion. Regardless whether how challenging it was, most bosses were entirely fun and engaging.

As always, FromSoft delivered another fine piece of entertainment. I look forward to their next project. However, I just wish they bring back Kuon...

I started craving for JRPGs since December and after finishing Persona 5 Royal, this game just happened to be launching around the corner. In anticipation for P3R's release, I started familiarizing myself with the PS2 FES version of the game and after getting a sense of both directions of these games, I say P3R had definitely exceeded my expectations for a remake title of a beloved classic.

The remake took many aspects of the original title and basically enhanced it without trying to stray itself too far from the original. Most of these changes I would argue are improved and well implemented that made the game more newcomer friendly for those who are not familiar with the franchise. In a sense, the remake accomplished its job of trying to be a well crafted entry for newcomers and veterans.

However, I must object to say that P3R is one of the many examples of SEGA/ATLUS' taken advantage of the consumer. I dislike their business methodology of selling parts of the content such as The Answer to help garner further revenue streams. P3 FES, a PS2 title from '07 was a complete package and now we're expected to purchase a part of that content down the line if we want to have the full experience of the game.

Regardless, Persona 3 Reload is certainly worth the cost on its own. The narrative and its characters are uniquely interesting and no doubt you will find yourself deeply invested throughout the game. I never found myself bored nor dissatisfied during my two playthroughs and that in itself was a huge improvement after Persona 5 Royal. If you're already a fan of JRPGs and you haven't touch this game yet, I highly reckon you do so.
