Persona is one of the most stylish video game series around, which means it’s a pleasure just to watch the games in action whether in one of its lushly animated cutscenes or during its in-game combat and dialogue.Persona 3was no exception and its imminent remakePersona 3 Reloadseems only to be pushing it into the modern era.

As proof, Atlus have released the opening movie for Reload - that is, the two-minute intro sequence that’ll play at the start of the game.

In any case, I love the new intro, because I love both anime intros and this particular genre of J-Pop or Japanese Jazztronica or whatever you’d call it.

A few years back I decided to buy a secondhand PS Vita and a copy ofPersona 3 Portable, which was, at the time, the only way to play the best version of Atlus’s classic JRPG. The Vita didn’t work and I had to send it back, and so then I just owned a copy of Persona 3 Portable I couldn’t play on anything for two years.

Eventually I took a second swing and bought another secondhand Vita, a working one this time. And still didn’t play Persona 3 Portable. I can blame that on the Vita being a cursed, unpleasant device to use, but probably I was just busy given I didn’t play it when itreleased on Steamlast year, either.

But now, now is the time when I give it a proper go. Or rather February 2nd, as that’s Persona 3 Reload’s release date.
