Persona 3 Reload - Which Edition Should You Get? (Differences Explained) 

In Australia, our retailers (EB Games) made an announcement on Twitter on a random Monday, and it sold out completely in 15 minutes. Other retailers had very limited stock also. There hasn't been a rerun of the preorder at all, so I didn't get a choice 😅 I swear we only got allocated 250 units for the whole continent.

Something to note… the only character in Royal to not get a costume is Sumi. Even Akechi got both his. And it just so happens that there’s an alternate version of the MC in Portable whose female who uses a different weapon and has completely different SL’s. Likewise… Atlus’s wording with this game is implying more DLC might come eventually. I’m more interested in finding out if this means merely FeMC or more… and considering some of the rewrites with Kenji coming out so far, that makes me hopeful for an Episode Aigis/The Answer DLC that’s actually got some better writing to back it up. Though all this could be coincidence for nothing. This is Atlus we’re talking about, the same people who released Sumi Costumes, the most broken Persona, and challenge fights including previous protags as an extra $60 on an already $60 game. Before just including that in the rereleases of the game, which were also the only way to play the game at 4k 60. They could easily just release an enhanced version with more DLC, or charge the exorbitant amount for the actual FeMC Route alone of $70 as DLC with costumes for another $5 each. Truth is, we simply don’t know… even leaks have left us in the dark.

@rezahydra That's a good point about no Sumi Representation. I can't imagine Shinjiro rocking the Leotards, but FEMC would be the best candidate for the outfit. I know ATLUS/SEGA have stated that DLC is part of their business strategy going forward. So we might get an Answer + FEMC Route in about a year's time. Could be a good spacer after Metaphor and before P6.

@@DewyHQ Exactly my thoughts. A skeleton team is currently rumored to be working on the P6 outline as noted by the very barebones inclusion of P6 stuff deep in Royal’s code, less than P5’s with 4AU funnily. Why not do something similar with DLC for P3R?

@@DewyHQ that sucks man it does indeed seem that they allocated less copies for different regions over here in the Netherlands the Aigis edition was available for months after pre-orders started and they only sold out somewhere in December i think

yes

That’s your trade off with pc over console lol

24 years ago all of PC Games is physical copy.

I'd like to see what the Aigis figure looks like when the unboxing videos drop 👀

​@DewyHQ was literally thinking of making one when mine comes in, thanks for this comment brother!

i also ordered the 12 inches of aigis from Atlus West

i also got the aigis edition :) cant wait to play persona 3

I would have bought the Aigis edition, but I don't have a console to play on :(

No you didn’t.

Just got the aigis edition for $99 on Woot. Love it so much!

Day one DLC is frustrating. If it's available now, it should be part of the base game. Xenoblade, in my opinion, has the best stance on DLC. Adding full mini games about 5-6 months after release.

Real dedication 👏

You get a S.E.E.S armband for the Japanese Collector’s Edition of the game, it looks so nice!

Yes, you can buy DLC for gamepass games. You own the DLC, not the game. Should you lose access to the game, you naturally can't use the DLC until the game is repurchased.

I'm pretty sure the DLC comes with the gamepass no?

It's like P5. One free summon. I just use DLC personas when I can fuse them.

​@@DewyHQ Thanks, I'll just redeem them on my NG+

I believe if you purchase it digitally on the Playstation store it will give you both. From the Playstation Store page: This product entitles you to download both the digital PS4™ version and the digital PS5™ version of this game.

Ps5 is backward la compatible and I doubt there is much difference

I agree about the steel book. I love the Persona 5 ones.

Windows store carries Xbox saves and vice versa. I can't comment whether Windows stores saves and steam saves are interchangeable.

i don’t think that’s gonna happen lol, 4 was never released on ps4 vanilla it was always golden, the vanilla was on ps2

The Gamepass is Goated.

I want the dlc because I want to play with these Personas, how could i be nostalgic for a 2020 game? but yeah I'm excited to play reload with Dlcs..i just gotta not use em until I fuse them.

Gamepass is the best value by far.

why? i thought it was a good game

@@fseiba6718 it's old

@@Kumire_921 i thought a remakes point is making it new. I didnt see people complaining about the resident evil remakes but they are just as old games ad persona 3 yet the remakes are banger. Those who havent played old persona 3 are just getting a new persona game and its super hype cus its gonna be persona 5 quality game.

@@fseiba6718The RE games were completely overhauled, RE2 and RE3 are basically completely new games. Persona 3 is still the same game fundamentally, just better visuals, most of us already played it twice if you count og and Fes, or even thrice with P3P. I just expected better from Atlus but they were too lazy to even add new content or fem MC.

This game looks as overhauled as res 2 they're are not refusing the same assets at all. New episodes, new soundtrack, new animation, new designs, tartaraus is completely different a lot of p5 elements added in. This game is completely overhauled .

Agreed, I’m cancelling my Aigis edition for cash, honestly I can’t spend the cash on a game that sounds (dosent look) cheap

facts

​@@Jojonogogoit's a very old game, the story was great but gameplay wise it's the weakest in the series

@@Kumire_921 what does that have to do with anything?

@@Jojonogogo you got reading issues?
