Persona 3 Reload will have fully-voiced Social Links, as well as new scenes to further explore the world and character dynamics. It will have the most voiced lines in the history of the Persona series thus far. It will also be easier to max out Social Links in a single playthrough this time around. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
The main story and Social Links will be the same as the original. There will also be some aspects of FES and P3P in Reload, though you won’t be able to play The Answer or as FeMC. As well, there will be new scenes to dive deeper into the world and characters. For example, there will be scenes where the MC gets to interact more with the male party members. In the original P3, you couldn’t have Social Links with the guys, so these scenes will help to explore their friendship.
As for the Social Links, Persona 3 was not designed for players to max them out in a single playthrough. It wasn’t impossible, but it was very difficult. The development team expressed surprise that people managed it in the first place. This was due to the high Stat requirements you needed to start some of them, as well as needing to make the right choices in dialog. In Persona 3 Reload, it will feel closer to maxing out all the Social Links in Persona 5 Royal. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be possible if you spend enough time on it.
Persona 3 Reload will come out on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, and Windows PC via Steam some time in early 2024. The Japanese voice cast will be the same as the original. Meanwhile, there is a whole new English cast for Reload.
