Ah, dorm life. Who could forget the camaraderie, the mysterious fridge contents, the epic ping pong battles, and the scent of ramen noodles hanging in the air? Well, folks, the good people at Atlus said, "Hold my sake," and threw a whole lot of wacky into their rendition of it in Persona 3 Reload.
The occasionally surreal setting for Persona 3 Reload, Iwatodai dorm life has been given a hilarious twist that will have players alternately scratching their heads and belly-laughing at the antics of the S.E.E.S members. There's never a dull moment in this kooky, shared accommodation, be it perfunctory endeavours or activities as endearing as snuggling up with a literary classic - Never you mind those titanic Shadows lurking in the background!
You see, living in Iwatodai isn’t all about tackling nightmare-inducing tartarus towers or worrying about the next big Shadow showdown. Nope. According to the newest clip from Atlus, it’s also about hanging out and communicating in ways that range from fascinating to bizarrely entertaining, cooking food – we assume it’s still edible - and gardening. There’s probably a potato somewhere in that soil you're playfully tossing around.
Every day is another day to hang out with your S.E.E.S buddies, explore your interests, or do some good old self-care in the dorm. Make sure to catch some Z's because you'll need energy to tackle those mammoth Shadows. Waking up at 3 am and realizing you've been turned into a Shadow might be a tough pill to swallow, especially if you were just in the middle of a dream about winning the lottery.
In related news, fresh off the Atlus grill is the character tribute trailer for Persona 3 Reload that'll surely get your gaming senses tingling, paying homage to the Hero and introducing new story scenes and character interactions. There’s even something in there for theStrega die-hards!
So, what think you, fellow gamers and dorm dwellers of yore? Ready for a hilarious journey into Iwatodai dorm life with Persona 3 Reload? We expect an entertaining barrage of comments below, unless of course you are busy wrestling Shadows. That, we understand.
And in signing off as the second best (hey, modesty is key) game journalist from Australia - Khayl Adam, I send you off with all the humor this piece can muster. Remember, whether in a game or life, it’s all fun and games until someone summons a Shadow in the dorm kitchen.
