Persona 3 Reload Difficulty?

Just curious as to how difficult it would be for a full playthrough? If anyones played it before and could let me know I’d really appreciate it. And also if anyone knows some words that while uncommon show up in the game alot? It’s whole mortality focus I don’t really have alot of words for. Thank you :slight_smile:

I have played a bit of 4 and 5 but never had the time to get into them properly (maybe played 20-30 hours of each). I think the thing people struggle the most with is the slang and general casual contractions, plus some of the 役割語 (“role language” - ways of speaking which aren’t used in real life but are used by certain trope heavy characters in fiction). It is definitely good practice for getting outside of “textbook Japanese”, though.

If you search on Youtube for “ペルソナ3リロード 実況” or similar then you can check out the Japanese level for yourself and see if you think you can handle it. 4 and 5 were pretty normal/average in terms of difficulty, for that sort of game/anime/younger adult native media, in my opinion. I think script data and anki decks are even floating around online somewhere, so hopefully someone can give you guidance on that specifically as well. Enjoy!
