Art Director Tomohiro Kumadai formerly worked as a developer elsewhere, and as a player of Persona 3 was inspired by its UI and how it has the power to represent and symbolize the overall image of the work. During his work on Reload, he thought about how to capture the charm when he played the game using modern technology.

That same day, a Twitter user uncovered a registered web domain named "p3re.jp", which was speculated to be connected to a Persona 3 remake due to its shorthand abbreviation potentially referencing the game and following previously registered web domains for projects in the Persona series.[29]

Although the team at first considered having the cast wear their uniforms evenly, they've decided to accent their individuality through how they wear their uniforms, with Shimada consulting Soejima and the development team. As it takes a lot of courage to come up with new designs for a remake of a game everyone loves, there was a lot of trial and error.[5]

Opening a locked chest in Tartarus grants a random chance of spawning The Great Clock Door. Entering the Great Clock allows the protagonist to choose two party members below his level who will instantly level up to the same level as him after they participate in the next battle.

While players have subsequently been introduced to new iterations of Persona 3, including Persona 3 FES and P3 Portable, Persona 3 Reload is solely a remake of the original title, meaning some elements, such as the choice of a female protagonist, won't be present.

Persona 3 Reload closes that gap, however, introducing overhauled visuals and mechanics to bring the game that started it all up to the level of quality fans of the series have come to expect. If the sales numbers and our glowing review are any indication, the upgrade has been well worth the wait.

Along with showcasing more of the P3 remake's updated gameplay that's more in line with Persona 5's when battling Shadows, this latest peek into Persona 3 Reload also shows off a brand new BGM track that makes the game feel even more revamped. 

If you’re looking for non-stop action you won’t find it in Persona 3 Reload. While exploring the game’s procedural-generated tower known as Tartarus does inject some momentum, battles are focused on strategy rather than quick reaction times, and the game’s visual-novel-style narrative takes priority for large periods.

One of the key elements of their goals in developing the game was to have it be played on a similar scale as Persona 5, as it has become the standard for play for fans of the series at that time, both in local Japan and overseas.[2]

The Item menu will move useful items to the top of the list depending on the situation, such as Revival Beads if a party member is KO'd and Agilao Gems if a shadow is weak to fire.

The frame rate has Persona 3 been improved from the original's 30FPS to a stable 60FPS, and the resolution has been increased to support 4K.
