Current Complaints
First off, I think the game is great, I love it and have been having fun. I just wanted to start a thread that talks about things that are wrong about the game. By that I mean, what have you noticed was a strange choice or looks wrong in the game? I just want to start a discussion that talks about it's weaknesses.
I got a few.
1. The animations sometimes look stiff.
2. Akihiko's VA I feel does a bad job with delivery of lines.
3. Shuffle Time should have been placed after the all out attack poster.

Right now, I don't have many criticisms. The largest one I have is Akihiko's English voice. It's not the wrong voice if Akihiko were ... say ... an Armored Core pilot or Ace Combat pilot ... or maybe a character in the Yakuza series ... but he does not sound remotely close to sounding like a teenage private school student. He sounds like he's twice Akihiko's age and is auditioning to be in We Have Street Fighter at Home. Until I looked it up, I thought Akihiko was being played by Yong-Yea. In my opinion, Akihiko was miscast.

The nitpicks I have right now are that the environments are a tad blocky and undertextured for what I'd expect even from Persona, and the models make the characters' mouths look a tad too small while their cheeks are pronounced enough in the models to give the characters (esp. female characters) kind of a chipmunk face at certain camera angles. The last nitpick I have are the female vocals of the new music, which sound more Engrish-y than the vocals of prior Persona games. Just nitpicks though. My attitude towards P3R is positive overall ~

The dorm foyer is too bright.

Yeah, there are times Akihiko sounds fine, then other times he delivers lines so poorly.
Imo, Yong Yea is a not a good VA. And yeah I noticed that too, the english vocals seemed more Engrish-y as you called it. Lol.
And yeah, the game so far imo is amazing. I haven't ran into any problems minus my nitpicks.

This. Akihiko's voice isn't bad, just sounds too old for the character. Yukari's voice lacks the weight it should have in some scenes, but I think that's more the fault of the directing.

The dorm lighting is blown out, shadowless, and flat. Every other environment has at least decent lighting (Tartarus lighting is fantastic).

The Japanese writing on papers in the environment is blurry, for some reason? It's not a big deal, but it bothers me.

I'm playing on 1440p and the animations and models in the menus look fuzzy and lack any antialiasing. The cutscenes, like during the awakening of Orpheus, also look fuzzy.

I'm getting fps drops during battles in Tartarus.

Some of the background npcs are really low res and distracting.

I looked at what you mean and now I see it. There is no shadows anywhere, but I also know how obnoxiously bad UE's lighting system is, that I don't blame atlus for screwing it up.

Toriumi model is bad.
No choice for Clubs.

My only complain is that game looks blurry as hell if you playing in borderless. For 70$ game this is unacceptable.

I was surprised they made it just the track team.

I am in borderless and it looks fine to me... I wonder if the resolution plays a factor. I am on 1920 x 1080.

They even said here borderless is currently broken https://whatifgaming.com/fix-persona-3-reload-blurry-visuals-pc/

I went ahead and played with the settings, it's blurry because you're on 100% render scale. I have it set to 200% and it looks fine to me.
Fantastic and faithful remake.
I only have one questionable observation...

Yeah that looks so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off, lol.
Would have been better if they kept it looking like they should be out of business.

theres a brightness setting in the game. I suggest turning it down between 50% and 75% depending on your preference and how it looks on your monitor. it makes a huge difference and makes the game more enjoyable to look at, not just in the dorms but everywhere in general, especially tartarus.

alright here we go:

- yukari's VA didn't add the b*tchy tone to yukari's voice
- pharos VA sounds too old. kinda kills his creepy aura
- music is remixed well but tries too hard at times to be different
- alot of anime cutscenes were cut including what in my opinion are the two most important ones: the awakening cutscene and the contract signing cutscene
- some of the most iconic lines are delivered properly
- no equipment drops in tartarus (weapons and armor)
- some lines that didn't require a stat check now require a stat check
- stat level up requirements didnt change. getting maxed out knowledge is still as much of a nightmare to get as it was in FES (230 points)
- rare chests require keys now (twilight gems)
- character portraits are no longer displayed in all out attack

granted these are minor things that dont truly effect the experience unless your a die hard fan like me and start hyper analyzing the game. the average player probably wont care about most of this stuff (except the 230 knowledge, damn). the game has alot of great things that werent in FES like Maya now having a portrait and keeping her leet speak but thats not what this thread is about lol.
