The most complete analysis on Persona 3 Reload's character, narrative, aesthetic, tonal evolution and changes from the original Persona 3 FES (PS2-era games). In-depth analysis of Persona 3 Reload and evolution of every single character (& all their new optional dorm, link episode content), changes from "memento mori" thematic focus to "making memories," tonal & aesthetic shift from abstract/ambiguity and moody/brooding feeling. A comparison of Persona 3 Reload, Persona 3 FES, and Persona 3 Portable presentation of characters and story thematically and aesthetically.
I always end up loving Persona 3 no matter what iteration it's in, and I hope this analysis on Persona 3 Reload vs. Persona 3 FES shows what a passion project this was for me!
