Persona fusions allow players to combine different Personas into new ones. In addition to the standard two-Persona fusions, players will also be able to unlock special fusions that use three or more Personas. Players can register their current Personas in the Persona compendium, this allows them to resummon that Persona at the state of their registration for a monetary fee.

Meanwhile, the city of Port Island where the game is set features a variety of establishments that players can use in locations such as Paulownia Mall, Iwatodai Strip Mall, and Tatsumi Port Island Station. Players can buy items, work part-time, and improve their social stats. Tatsumi Police Station serves as a weapons shop, thanks to the resident police officer being aware of the Dark Hour and lending his support to SEES. The Aohige Pharmacy can be used to purchase restorative items necessary for exploring the massive Tartarus dungeon. Mayoido Antiques is a specialist shop that lets players trade items obtained in Tartarus or by creating Personas for special weapons or other rare items. Finally, Be Blue V is a spiritual wellness shop that lets party members remember skills they might have forgotten.

 

 

Persona 3 Reload will also include similar network functionality to recent Persona titles. Players will be able to see what other players are choosing to do during the available time periods after school, at night, during class, etc., giving them ideas on what to do next.
