As such, content from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Persona 3<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">FES<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Persona 3 Portable<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> versions will not be included in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reload<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

We wanted to really genuinely work on recreating the Persona 3 experience.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We can&#8217;t really go into the details at this point yet, but we have remade basically everything from scratch as for Persona 3 the original version. We have newly recorded voices [and] new scenes and events. We also have both new and arranged music. We&#8217;ll be kind of releasing that information, following everything. So please look forward to that.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Persona 3<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was originally released in Japan in 2006 and in North America the following year on the PS2.
