For context, here are the main Persona Steam releases ranked in terms of 24-hour peaks during launch:

  • Persona 3 Reload - 42,112
  • Persona 5 Royal - 35,474
  • Persona 4 Golden - 29,984
  • Persona 5 Strikers - 8,730
  • Persona 4 Arena Ultimax - 7,099

Guess the simultaneous launch worked.

I thought P5R would have it beat for sure. But I guess P5R was just a rerelease, and P3 is a remake of a nearly 20 year old game.

All of a sudden it feels really hard to drop $70 on this despite having been someone who bought and played Tactica, especially when Rebirth is out in less than four weeks.

If you don't use the toilet you increase the chance of acquiring the debuff "shat your pants" when enemies hit you in Tartarus.

On pc Game Pass the game won’t detect PlayStation controllers, but lets you display to PlayStation glyphs (not useless, since you can still use PS controllers by emulating an Xbox controller with DS4Windows or the like)

The game detects my dualsense just fine. Wired, not bluetooth, though.

P5R was my first persona game and I'm checking out the P3 remake and immediately I am jiving far less with this soundtrack. P5R sets a high bar to clear I know but this one's not doing it for me so far. Still super early on though.

you already got massively penalized for dating more than one girl in the original and now I think it's substantially less penalized because s links can't break anymore

yeah that was the whole issue in vanilla p3. you got hugely punished for dating more than 1 girl but you couldnt do an s. link with most girls without dating them so it felt like the developers didnt conceive of the idea that you might see women as people and want to hang out with them

As someone unfamiliar with original, I'd be curious to hear what you think about the original version of the P3 soundtrack compared with the new one.

These (the original versions linked) are probably the main two (that show up early on) where I find the new version a significant downgrade. I generally prefer the originals for pretty much everything that has an original version, though in most cases it's pretty minor. I think the new vocalist is just really poorly suited to the old songs (she sounds great in all the new ones, though - Color Your Night is great, and the new battle them is at least as good as Mass Destruction). But the P3 soundtrack is also basically pure distilled nostalgia, so that definitely factors into the equation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iupq4GUgiQ8 (I think the new version of this one bugs me the most; the new vocals just really don't work for it at all and it just feels a lot more "anemic")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzRqtW1C0Zo (despite definitely being goofier than the Reload version I feel like the vibes work better for this, though the dorm vibes in general are pretty radically different in Reload; it originally had much darker lightning and a vaguely "seedy" feel to it)

edit: I feel like Twilight Fragments might be more plentiful once the missions and stuff unlock, since I think they're rewarded by those? As is, I absolutely wasn't able to open most twilight chests I encountered in Thebel (though you can always go back and open them later, it looks like). Granted, that's partly because I spent 7 on a full heal, but even if I hadn't I still wouldn't have been able to open them, since some require 3 fragments (I'd be willing to bet those might have special weapons/armor).

I never healed, but I also didn't scour the overworld beforehand for loose fragments, so I was (at least on my generated run) at zero by the end and had only missed a single two-fragment chest. The two 3s I opened were both weapons, Poison Bow for Yukari and... some sword for me. I'm not sure if the breakable statue things containing fragments respawn randomly like the others, but with how many repeats I did I suspect not.

They do, I found a fresh random one in a subsequent reclear. They just seem very rare.

I got one in my first real Tartarus run and when I came back to finish the highest floor I went back to lower floors to burn off the rest of my sp loot hunting and ran into another shard breakable container

P4 > P5 > P3 in terms of soundtracks.

This also bares out since P3 dancing is the worst one to play too. Although Our Moment is a good title song.

It's not just how it feels, the director specifically said that in an interview. That he didn't believe it was possible to be friends with a woman.

Thankee kindly.
Very early into P3R but I think the 'emotion cut-ins' during conversations don't flow as well compared to P5R. They seem to just do the cut-in without any dialogue in P3R, which kinda makes them feel more like an interruption.

Also Junpei's new VA is really close to the original which is good. A couple lines feel like you can hear him really trying to stick as close to the original delivery, but otherwise it's been a smooth transition.
