I don't understand the delivery without a box. This is supposed to be a collectable box, but it's ruin with best buy stickers that used Super Glue I'm guessing. And the corners are bent on the box too. And also torn. How much can you save not putting this item in a box? No shrink wrap either on the box. It was opened. If everything wasn't there, I would have returned it right away. It was not cheap too. I would love a replacement.

I never really got into Persona 3 or either of its rereleases, FES and Portable, despite enjoying the story. The gameplay was very unrefined compared to P4 and especially P5, and while I do know many people love it for how different it plays, it was just not for me. But this remake fixes every issue I had with the game and then proceeds to go above and beyond with extra content. The story is enthralling, the characters are relatable, and the gameplay is probably the best in the series, with the exception of a few minor issues that are a result of this being a remake of a 20 year old game. Stuff like there only being two characters to spend time with in the evenings and the entire dungeon being randomly generated. They could have fixed it, but it would have changed the game too much, and I respect the desire to preserve the original's identity. Overall, great game. As for the collector's edition extras, I would say it's fairly hit-or-miss depending on what you like, and there is a little bit of a feeling that it's a mixed bag. There is an artbook with concept art and great images, but it's not a hard cover like most Atlus special editions. But then the CD included is the ENTIRE game soundtrack, not just a small selection, which is very abnormal and very welcome as a fan of the music in this series. And then there's the figure. I'm not normally a fan of figurines but I love the characters in this game, especially Aigis, so much so I do enjoy it. But your mileage may vary and I do still think it's not as exciting as some other extras I've seen from Atlus. Overall, I would say it's a good product.

Really great remake of a game and the collectors edition was super awesome with all the goods that came with it. My absolute favorite was the Aegis statue. Nicely designed.

Overall a great game with a dark, but beatiful story of life and death and how that affects others. The gameplay is great and has nice changes from the new Theurgy system, and the quality of life changes post original Persona 3/FES like skill selection during inheritence, P5's action menus and baton pass, etc. If you have played base Persona 3/FES, or portable, it is overall the same story, but there is enough changes in gameplay and additional content to make this a great game to get into for first time players and veterans of Persona 3.

One of my all time favorite JRPGS, it was an amazing faithful adaption of the original that Persona fans have all grown to love but with updated graphics and gameplay reminiscent of P5. My one gripe on this is the price. For $200 the bundle is kind of lackluster, as others pointed out this AEGIS figure is maybe $70 tops, and the art booklet and soundtrack while nice should only he maybe $50 combined. Definitely on the pricier side for what you get, but considering I’m a die hard Persona fan, it was worth it for me in the end. Side note: The Asian countries received a SEES exclusive armband with their edition, would’ve been really cool to have with ours as well and would have made it more worth it in my eyes.

I bought the collector's edition because I love Persona 4, 5, and all its spinoffs. I never played the original Persona 3 so I went in blind. I love this game. The visuals are great, the music is fantastic, and the story and theme are so well done. It really gets emotional in some parts. Overall, if you like Jrpgs, mixed with some social sim, this is a must buy!!

Persona 3 has an amazing story combined with great gameplay.

A fantastic collector's edition for fans of P3. The box is beefy and makes a nice display piece on its own. The figure is well made. And of course reload is a great remake of one of the best JRPG's of all time. If you're a P3 fan and can afford the upgrade it is very worth it

A remake of a classic game with the soundtrack to boot. This was exceptionally well done, thought I would have liked for it to have been a definitive collection of all content from previous releases.

If you are looking for a way to get a figure for cheap, this is not the way. A good quality figure would run you $200+ alone and the quality of this one is representative of the overall price. If you are looking for an edition with physical game, a version of the OST and a small art book, this is a good one. And to come with a figure and a nice celebratory box worked for me.

I enjoy the storyline in the game I been playing the game series since high school i love the gameplay and the strategy

Perfect in every way shape and form. Amazing music, great story, and gameplay. This is a must play for anyone with a deep story and is an unforgettable experience.

I played Persona 3 to completion back in high school, and Reload more than lives up to the same quality I experienced back then. The music and vocals are a bit different, but they complement the new voice direction as a whole. The visuals are beyond expectations, especially when it comes to Tartarus, the main dungeon of the game. Where it once was dark and dingy, it has become mysterious and pleasing to the eye. The characters in the social links are more alive than ever before and I am more than happy with my purchase.

My favorite game of 2024! I never played the original but this remake allowed me to enjoy a ps2 classic in the modern age. If you played P5 please give P3 a chance. Its a wonderfully heartfelt story with excellent characters and fantastic music.

Probably my favorite game that has come out this year. Without giving too much away about this one, this is one of the most polished and visually interesting RPGs ever made. The collector's edition while a little pricy, still feels like a premium package.

This is lesson learned for spending so much on this. Figure is deceivingly small, the image here seems to scale it to the collectors box. Its half the size of the box. The art box is not hardcover like it was for Persona 5 Royal. The soundtrack is great but I dont even have a cd player in my car, just listen on youtube. DLC personas are cool but you break the game if you summon them early in the game.

I’ve collected many Persona CEs, from US and Japan, this one is really good. We actually get a statue instead of a SEES armband like in the Japanese version. The Artbook and OST are great as well. If you are a Persona fan this is a must. The Game is a fantastic remake of the vanilla version of Persona 3. Have been hooked.

Its a solid remake. I love p3 fes but this remake does a good job capturing the spirit of p3. The difficulty is balanced its not as easy as p5 but its not as hard as p3fes. Its anfood mix that should please new and old fans. The music is good but some of the remade tracks are hits or misses.

The game itself is fantastic. A very well made remake of the original Persona 3. The products included feel high quality, and I’m happy with this purchase. If you are a fan of persona 4 and/or 5, but have not played 3, it is absolutely worth picking up.

The box was definitely bigger than I expected with an awesome design. The contents inside were neatly sealed was well. The game itself is incredible and I highly recommend picking this one up if you need a good night time game to keep yourself relaxed.
