Through the fusion system, which allows your main character to wield different personas Pokemon style, you can unlock a bunch of unique Theurgy attacks, and some of them are as destructive as they are hilarious. Those who've played Persona 5 will recognize the Shift mechanic, too, which works just like the Baton Pass; when you hit an enemy weakness, you can pass the Em excesso turn to a different party member who can keep the pain train rolling or hit remaining foes even harder.

There is also some sources that suggest that additional multipliers can be earned depending on Exam Results and Charm, but it is currently unknown how exactly this works. It is possible to max out all Social Links in one run, but it can be quite challenging. Each Social Link is generally available on certain days of the week. Their schedule can change depending on other circumstances, such as exams.

In addition, while the standard version will just have the game, the Digital Deluxe Edition will include a digital artbook and a digital soundtrack for this remake.

Plenty is different back in the outside persona 3 reload gameplay world, too. First and foremost, I can physically run around 3D city streets and classroom hallways, as opposed to moving a cursor to callout bubbles in a relatively static environment like in past Persona 3 iterations. In general, the camera maintains a tighter shot, making bouncing around locations feel more intimate and nearly first-person.

That often has to be balanced with managing a slew of devastating status ailments and hard-hitting attacks, so things can spiral out of control if you don't play it smart. The best examples of this come from Monad doors, which are all-new rooms within the Tartarus floors – specifically, the boss gauntlets found at progress checkpoints. These fights throw somewhat unconventional combat scenarios at you that bring out the best of these satisfying turn-based battles whether you line up a sequence of attacks perfectly or barely make it by the skin of your teeth.

By pressing the Touch Pad, you can bring up Network Functions. Network Functions show what other players have spent time on that day, as well as what they answered for classroom questions.

Even the side characters you interact with through the game’s Social Link events get this treatment, as every major Social Link event is now fully voiced for the first time in the Persona series.
