Persona 3 Reload's Updated Combat System Looks Ridiculously Cool in Gameplay Breakdown | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

It's long been our belief that Persona 5 has the most stylish turn-based combat system ever devised, but it could soon be time for Joker and the gang to vacate their throne. Indeed, Persona 3 Reload's reworked battles look incredible. Visually, there's a much greater emphasis on highly stylised cuts from character to character, and we love the way artwork has been incorporated into certain actions.

Combat isn't just an eye-pleaser, though. Taking clear cues from the aforementioned Persona 5, there's an all-new snappiness to how you issue commands, and as previously reported, you can now 'shift' between party members in order to hit multiple enemy weaknesses in one extended turn.

Meanwhile, new, character-specific 'Theurgy' attacks are basically like super moves. You build up a bar through battling that can then be cashed out for a devastating technique.

We think Persona 3 Reload is looking like a surefire win, but do you agree? Give us a baby baby baby in the comments section below.

Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.

Looks great but I’ll wait for the “royal” edition a few years later

@Nalodart same for me. With all of content from FES and P3P.

@AnVold @Nalodart
Yep was going to say same thing, and then probably wait to get the PS6 Golden/Royale/FES/P3P version which will not have an upgrade path from PS5.

Another burnt Persona 5 buyer here.

I bought Persona 3 on Steam not that long ago and I'm happy with that so I don't think it's worth buying this now. I might buy it during a Sale Idk.

There’s quite a bit of negativity in the
