Epilogue

Congratulations, you've reached the end of your journey in Persona 3 Reload! While the main story concludes, there are still a few things to consider and wrap up, especially if you're aiming for a 100% completion or simply want to savor the post-game content.

Post-Game Considerations

After the credits roll, you'll be prompted to save your clear data. This save file is crucial for accessing New Game+ and carrying over certain progress. save it in a distinct slot to avoid overwriting your final main story save.

New Game+

Starting a New Game+ allows you to replay the game with significant advantages, making it easier to tackle challenges, complete missed Social Links, or experience the story again with a fresh perspective. Here's what typically carries over:

  • Protagonist's Social Stats: Academics, Charm, and Courage will remain at their maxed levels.
  • Compendium: All registered Personas and their fusion recipes will be available from the start. This is invaluable for creating powerful Personas early on.
  • Equipment: All weapons, armor, and accessories obtained will carry over.
  • Money: Your current Yen balance will transfer.
  • Key Items: Certain key items, particularly those related to Social Links or special events, may carry over.
  • Playtime: Your total playtime from the previous run will be displayed.

What does NOT carry over:

  • Protagonist's Level: You'll start at Level 1 again.
  • Party Member Levels and Personas: Your teammates will also start at their base levels with their initial Personas.
  • Social Link Ranks: All Social Links will reset to Rank 0.
  • Consumable Items: Most consumable items (healing items, battle items) will not carry over.
  • Story Progress: The main story and all associated events will reset.

Maximizing New Game+

If you're aiming for a Platinum Trophy or a 100% completionist run, New Game+ is almost essential. Here are some strategies:

  • Complete Missed Social Links: With maxed Social Stats and access to powerful Personas from the Compendium, you'll have much more free time to dedicate to Social Links. Prioritize any you missed or didn't max out in your first playthrough.
  • Fuse Ultimate Personas: Leverage your full Compendium to fuse the most powerful Personas, such as Messiah (requires maxing the Judgement Social Link) or Orpheus Telos (requires maxing all Social Links).
  • Tackle Optional Bosses: If you struggled with optional bosses like Elizabeth or the Reaper in your first run, New Game+ provides the perfect opportunity to overpower them with your advanced Personas and equipment.
  • Experience Different Choices: While the core story remains the same, you can make different dialogue choices or pursue different romantic Social Links to see alternative scenes.

Final Thoughts and Achievements

Take a moment to reflect on your journey. Persona 3 Reload offers a deeply emotional and impactful narrative. If you're a trophy hunter, check your achievement list to see what you've accomplished and what remains. Many achievements are tied to maxing Social Links, defeating optional bosses, or completing the Compendium, all of which are significantly easier in New Game+.
