In this game, you play as a high school student who returns to his hometown ten years after his parents died in a car accident. The protagonist can summon something called a Persona, which is like a manifestation of his inner spirit. He joined a group called the Special Extracurricular Enforcement Team (SEES) with others who could do the same thing. Together they must fight against the Shadow and solve the mysteries of the Dark Hour.
Fans of the Persona series are eager for a Persona 3 remake, especially after the success of Persona 5. Game developer Atlus officially stated that they heard the voices of fans and began development of “Reload” in 2019. They announced the game in June 2023 and first talked about it in April 2023.
Reload retains the story of the original Persona 3, but makes it look and function better. Azusa Shimada came up with new designs for the characters, and Shige Soejima made sure everything looked good. Atsushi Kitajoh produced new music for the game, with some songs performed by Azumi Takahashi and Lotus Juice. The game aims to match the quality of subsequent games in the Persona series.

How to rescue missing people in Persona 3: Reloaded?
In Persona 3: Reloaded, rescuing missing people requires a step-by-step process. First, players need to talk to Elizabeth at the entrance to Tartarus. She provides information about the missing persons and gives a series of floors to search. Importantly, players can only track one missing person at a time.

Once you teleport to a higher floor, keep an eye out for icons on the blocks indicating the location of the missing person. When the lowest floor within a given range is reached, Fuuka will notify you of the exact floor that person is on. Wander the floor and look for the exclamation mark on the map, indicating the person’s location.
When you find a missing person, contact them to find out how to rescue them. You can use an inactive party member to escort them back to the entrance, or you can take them there yourself. It is recommended to bring them back in person, especially if there are many missing people in Tartarus. This ensures that you can speak to Elizabeth again to learn about the next set of floors.
After successfully rescuing someone, leave Tartarus for the night to complete the request. The next day, head to the police station and you’ll be rewarded for your efforts. Rewards vary and may include powerful skill cards, recovery items, or even large sums of yen. This process helps you progress in the game while earning valuable rewards for your character’s achievements.

At the police station, interact with the sign in front of the building to get information on all missing persons. Each missing person entry will contain details about the person and a rescue deadline, which always coincides with the next full moon operation.
This board serves as a reference point for players, providing important information about missing persons and their respective deadlines. It guides players to plan their actions and prioritize rescuing missing persons before given deadlines, ensuring a successful rescue mission and game progression.
By regularly checking the board, players can stay updated on the status of missing persons, strategize their rescue missions, and contribute to the game’s overall narrative.
