Some World of Warcraft fans have pointed out that the Hero Talent trees coming in The War Within don’t give every playable race equal treatment. Though the new player power feature seems exciting at baseline, some World of Warcraft fans are worried the disparity of themes between Hero Talents like Elune's Chosen and the Herald of the Sun could become problematic.
Persona 3 Reload Review: A Remake That Persona Fans Can't Miss
09.02.2024 - 18:47 / mmorpg.com
Let’s get right into it. In an industry where remakes and remasters are far from rare, Persona 3 Reload is an absolute masterclass on the idea. As the progenitor of the modern Persona game, Persona 3 was a diamond in the rough at a time when JRPGs struggled with their identity. It seems only fitting that 17 years after the initial US release, and during another similar identity struggle, Persona 3 Reload shows up with a brand new bag.
Persona 3 was a pretty revolutionary game for its time. While not the prettiest game for the time, Persona 3 was a fantastic JRPG that featured some relatively unforgiving combat, a super-long main dungeon, and a lot of micromanagement of your character’s bonds. While the original game’s final act left a lot of unanswered questions, the subsequent releases of the game on the PlayStation Portable and the secret fighting-game sequel helped flesh that out. Persona 3 is one of the rare cases where I've played the same game more than once.
This brings me to Persona 3 Reload. This is the original Persona 3 with highly improved graphics, gameplay, and mechanics. Persona 3 Reload is almost an entirely new game; outside of the story beats themselves, Persona 3 Reload is probably how you remember the original Persona 3 because, man, did Persona 5 perfect the formula!
That’s the thing with Persona 3 Reload; I remember playing through the original game in 2007 and then the PSP version a few years later. The second playthrough was painful because while Persona 3 is a fantastic game, I don’t do repetition well. I was cautious about taking this review because I felt like I’d get burned out over this technically third playthrough. The funny thing is, I can’t put it down. I have invested about 40 hours into my Persona 3 Reload playthrough and just hit the game’s halfway mark. I could add another 40 hours into this review and I'd still feel the same way!
How Persona 3 got its groove back.
A lot of people’s first Persona game was Persona 5. I can’t blame them. That has to be one of the best JRPG games ever made. When I heard that Persona 3 was going to pick up a lot of Persona 5’s mechanics, I couldn’t wait. The original game didn’t have super-engaging combat, and Tartarus, the location of most combat, dragged on forever. The game also used a weird art style best described as “everyone looked like Roblox characters” by my oldest son.
So what is different this time around? Persona 3 Reload to start has a superior graphical presentation to Persona 5. I said, “Oh damn,” the first time I began to explore the school. I referenced this earlier, but do you know how many old games look better in your memory? Persona 3 Reload looks better. With full-sized anime-style 3D models, redrawn character

The grassroots campaign that challenged Last Airbender whitewashing and woke up Hollywood
Mike Le was furious. Maybe sad? There was a touch of despair. On the morning of Dec. 9, 2008, news broke that M. Night Shyamalan had cast his upcoming live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender. Le, then a grad student at UCLA, was a huge fan of the animated series — but Shyamalan’s take for Paramount Pictures looked like a disaster. In his mind, Avatar was an explicitly Asian-inspired fantasy, an Eastern Lord of the Rings with martial arts. So why were all of Shyamalan’s actors white?
