If Persona 3 Gave Me The Ick, What Does That Mean For Persona 6?

A informacao chegou e merece atencao. Recently, I bowed to pressure and finally booted up Persona 3 Reload.

Importante mencionar que Given the announcement of Persona 6 at Summer Game Fest 2026 , and the vast amount of time between that game's inevitable release and the time I played Persona 5--nine years and counting--I thought I'd dip my toes back in the series. Unfortunately, I could only make it so far, because Persona 3 Reload, I'm sorry to say, gave me the ick .  All of the charming -isms I once loved about the Persona games seemed to dissipate upon booting Persona 3 Reload up. The expository writing in the game's opening, wherein an authority figure literally explains the game's gimmick to a room of characters who already understand what's going on, made my eyes roll to the back of my head.

But this is just kind of how these games have been for a long while, and though I understand the need to explain things to audiences, I would rather the game I'm playing treat me like I can read and comprehend plots higher than a grade-school level.  Persona is a verbose series, one that smashes the sheer density of writing found in visual novels into a turn-based RPG, which often means there can be long stretches of very little action and a lot of reading. At times, these sections are a welcome opportunity to catch my breath between major plot points, especially when blended with Persona's hallmark life-sim elements. However, other times, I just want to play the stylish and tactical combat that these games are known for, not sit through trivial dialogue encounters.  Persona 3's gameplay allows you to traverse the town and talk to locals. This frustration crept in while playing P3R's opening chapter and trying to get to the action, only to instead be hit by scene after scene of having to navigate the halls of a high school, answer questions in class, walk back to my dorm room, and constantly be intercepted with asides from classmates like Junpei and Takeba.  When I was last fully immersed in  Persona, I had an unspoken proximity to the series and the stories that the games told.
