Newer Persona games still feature conditions where there’s a lot to do, but not enough time to do it all. With Persona 3 Reload, I ended up finding the dating score and shared computer in the dorm to be one of the best. Productive quality of life functions and saved me from wasting so much time.
Not, the Dating Site Note isn’t exactly what it sounds like, but at the same time totally is. Once you get to November in the game — which is starting to be crunch time as we all know — the Paulownia Mall URL vendor at the club will begin selling the Dating Site Note. Unlike his other URLs, you can buy multiples of it. This is because for each use, you can choose one of your social links and get a two point boost to the relationship.
I can’t express how wonderful the help and relief it has been to get this extra incentive. Especially since the concept of spending time with SEES members to learn more skills in spaces like cooking, gardening, and reading can be appealing. Since Mutatsu and Tanaka are the only “night” social links and the greatest opportunities to get social stat updates when interacting with allies or sharing PC software. I ended up having nights in mid-November where I had nothing to do. Go to bed? Never.
I also found it was incredibly helpful for some of those more frustrating social links. For example, Akinari Kamiki’s social link is only available on Sundays during the day. He only becomes an option once you get Maiko’s link to Rank 3 and in August. Spending a few nights per week on the Dating Site Note at the shared computer in Persona 3 Reload really made it easier to boost that relationship. It also came in handy for getting closer to Mitsuru, given her social link only unlocks at the end of November as well.
But perhaps what I found most practical was its affordable price. In terms of URLs, it’s not the cheapest. You pay 3000 yen for each use of the site. However, as the game is unlocked, we’ll likely rely on Monad’s fabrics to craft weapons and character gear and possibly won’t do much good for money. It is an ideal complement to quality of life.
In fact, I liked how the score of the dating site Persona 3 Reload made it seem like Atlus valued my time. Yes, this is a game where you need to be challenged and feel like you’re making the most of your time. But with the extra activities and side segments of the story, plus the wisdom of certain urgent moments that might require you to make quick moves at just the right time, it’s great to have that optional security blanket for your relationships with other characters. .
Persona 3 Reload is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
