I could write paragraphs on how much this game has saved my life. I played the OG back in 2019, and I've been through so much since then. But, I never realized how much the game has actually affected me as a person and changed me for the better until playing Reload. It's just the best game of all time. There's games I've played that are more fun and enjoyable, but no other piece of media has even come CLOSE to affecting me emotionally as much as this game does. The story and characters are perfect, and miles better than the other Persona games imo. I always believed that even with all of the flaws that the OG had. However, they absolutely NAILED everything with this remake. Every single important scene is perfect, all the social links, the new voice acting and music, the improved gameplay, they just did it perfectly.

The world would genuinely be a better place if everybody played this, but ik that's not possible since not everyone likes turn-based games, visual novels, or "anime" style games. But the messages that this game teaches you and the way it does that is something that nothing else has done as beautifully as this. Spend your life with the people who you like being around, treat everyone with kindness, live your life to the fullest, and even at the worst points in your life, always look to the people closest to you, and to the things that make you happy in life. Never lose hope and always look to the future. I love this game and the people who worked on it with all my heart. These characters are family at this point.
