Persona 3 Reload confirms that it will add a similar Baton Pass lookalike with two mechanics taken from Persona 5, expanded light and dark abilities.
The Persona 3 remake, which fans have been requesting from Atlus and Sega for a long time, has paid off. Persona 3 Reload is one of the most anticipated games.
Persona 3 Reload will be released next February
Atlus has been providing a lot of information about the game lately and has been providing incremental updates about the game at various events such as GamesCom. The latest update on the game was the Persona 3 Reload’s release date, which will be released next February.
Fans had the opportunity to try out the demo of Persona 3 Reload at the aforementioned GamesCom 2023 and other events. This game is on its way to being a complete remake of the original game. In addition, quality changes are made. These changes will make it more compatible with Atlus’ latest releases like Persona 5. Recently, a number of mechanics that were part of the fifth main game were also confirmed to be included in the game.
New features will be added to the game
According to the information given by Dengeki Online regarding the scope of Persona 3 Reload, a brand new mechanic called “Shift” is mentioned. This feature is triggered by hitting the weakness of an enemy Shadow. Shift mechanics allow the player to use this extra action by pressing the left trigger, giving the opportunity to give this extra action to a different party member. This also looks like Persona 3 Reload’s Baton Pass version of the P5.
Persona 3 Reload’s spell line has also been reworked. It adds Eiha and Kouha, the Light and Dark abilities previously reintroduced in Persona 5. In the original Persona 3 and 4, light and dark spells were limited to instant-kill variants known as Hama and Mudo. Persona 5 brought back the Eiha and Kouha spells from the first Persona game, giving players the option to use the light and dark elements.
Rearranging these spells will raise Ken and Koromaru, who are specialized to the Light and Dark elements. In the original game, their focus on these two elements limited their use, and players had trouble using these two party members against bosses. Because he had instant kill immunity. Persona 3 Reload can give them these abilities, making them more convenient to use along with other improvements introduced with the remake.
