thesixthaxis.com:

Atlus has dropped a bunch of details and information about Persona 3 Reload, their modern remake of the classic JRPG from the PS2 and PSP. Persona 3 Reload is out on 2nd February 2024 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC – it will be on Xbox Game Pass at launch.

In particular, we have a behind the scenes introduction to the voice artists behind the game’s characters, as well as a look at the new S.E.E.S. Combat Uniform for the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, on social stats, dorm life, and more.

Let’s start with the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad themselves:

Normally, a person can summon only one Persona, but he holds the power of the Wild Card—a special trait allowing him to handle multiple Personas and different types of Theurgy.

She specializes in wind and healing abilities, and her Theurgy skill Cyclone Arrow ignores an enemy’s natural affinity to deal heavy wind-type damage.

He specializes in fire and slash attacks. His Theurgy, Hack n’ Blast, deals heavy slash damage to a single enemy regardless of affinity.

Turning to the game and character-driven story in general, and Social Stats will come into play for many aspects of daily life. You can be challenged to meet a certain level in three Social Stats – Courage, Charm, and Academics – which can be improved through activities like studying and part-time jobs. Without being levelled high enough, you might lose out on using certain facilities and Social Links.

Dorm Life was featured in another video last week – embedded below – with your free time able to be spend bonding with other students through cooking, studying, reading, watching movies, tending to the rooftop vegetable garden and more. This can raise the Social Stats, as well
