By far can say Reload is the best way to play P3 now for myself. I don't think the OST replaces the original, but aside from that my few biggest gripes were them not bringing some QOL's in from other entries. Didn't bother changing up fortunes earlier in the game, making it pretty hard to max slink still compared to 4G/5R, did during the night.. but that didn't come until November 11th. There's one block in Tartarus Reload that is absolutely awful to traverse, I did not think they could make Tartarus worse in Reload, but they pulled that off.

Voice acting was incredible, scenes/animations fantastic, gameplay overhaul was very needed and made it an absolute blast to play again, though a bit on the easy side even on merciless. I hope theurgies(think limit breaks) makes it way into new mainline titles going forward, those were fun, same with characteristics(character specific passives).

The new events with the male chars and Strega were handled pretty great too, changed my mind on a few characters in general lol. I can definitely say my cons with FES weren't here in Reload, except for Tartarus still being a slog.
