This previous February, Persona 3 Reload launched a brand new technology of gamers to the first “fashionable” entry in the Persona sequence, occurring to turn into the quickest promoting recreation in Atlus’ practically 40-year historical past. Whereas P3R is a monster of an RPG (offering this author over 90 hours of leisure), what’s left for our heroes as soon as they’ve vanquished Tartarus, ended the Darkish Hour, and set issues proper at Gekkokuan Excessive?
Unhappiness, largely.
As Episode Aigis -The Reply-, Reload‘s remake of the epilogue from 2007’s Persona 3 FES, kicks off, the temper is decidedly downbeat. Certain, cultish nemesis Strega is gone, and Apathy Syndrome is abating throughout Tatsumi Port Island. However with Persona 3 Reload‘s foremost character falling in the closing battle, and Iwatodai Dorm closing its doorways for good, the vibes really feel something however victorious. At the very least issues are again to regular, proper? Proper?
As the surviving S.E.E.S. gang hangs out one final time in the dorm, midnight strikes, there’s an earthquake, in bursts one other Aigis-like android named Metis, and an enormous gap seems in the flooring of the dorm’s foyer main downward. Caught in a time loop and unable to depart the dorm, the gang has no selection however to discover the mysterious abyss which has appeared beneath the dorm.
Whereas Mitsuru, Junpei, and the gang aren’t precisely thrilled to be thrust again into the middle of a supernatural thriller, I couldn’t be extra excited to pattern the first hour of Episode Aigis -The Reply-, leaping again right into a recreation that I’ve frankly missed since finishing it this spring.
Selecting the controller again up for extra Persona 3 Reload was as acquainted and comfy as settling into my favourite spot on the sofa – with one wrinkle. With our foremost character dearly departed, Aigis visits the Velvet Room, well-known as the place solely the heroes of Persona video games appear to have the ability to go to. This additionally implies that Aigis can now swap out personas in battle, similar to the hero of the full recreation.
In contrast to the infinite staircase of Tartarus, there are clear pathways to select from in the Abyss of Time; showing as doorways in the center of a desert. As soon as inside, the moment-to-moment motion performs out as you could bear in mind: exploring labyrinths, exploiting enemy weaknesses, and triggering All Out Assaults; extra of what individuals love about Persona.
As for what else is new, the mysterious Metis does be part of the group, main to some enjoyable battle banter – she’s a little bit of a weirdo! I famous some new music tracks, becoming a member of these already imprinted in my mind. The primary hour additionally provides tantalizing hints that Persona 3 Reload‘s foremost character might not be utterly gone from this world. No matter the way it performs out, Aigis at all times had foremost character vitality, and we’re in for a enjoyable experience as she takes the wheel for what guarantees to be a 30-hour epilogue journey.
