Persona 3 Reload Confirms More Voice Actors for Social Link Characters

• Persona 3 Reload is overhauling its social link system by adding fully voiced dialogue, a big change from the original game.
• The remake introduces voice actors for social link characters, including the president of a shopping company and an alcoholic Buddhist monk.
• The preview screenshots of Persona 3 Reload show improvements such as a messaging system similar to Persona 5 and reminders for daily activities.

Atlus has confirmed more members of Persona 3 Reload's new English dub cast. These voice actors are for the characters who are a part of Persona 3's social link system, which are special visual novel-like sequences where the player and NPCs interact with each other. Since Persona 3 was the progenitor of this system, it would go on to be refined in its sequels, culminating in Persona 5's confidant system. Persona 3 Reload will be overhauling the Social Link system to bring it closer to the modern games, which makes it one of the biggest changes compared to the original.

One of the biggest overhauls Persona 3 Reload is making is the inclusion of fully voiced dialogue for each time the player moves up a rank. In the original game, there was no voice acting for these rank-up sequences, so the remake provides characters with in-game voices for the first time. Persona 3 Reload confirmed some of these social link characters and their voice actors in the dub, who were all a part of the student body of the school that the protagonist attends. More of the social links that Atlus recently revealed are mostly found outside of school and can be found on Tatsumi Port Island.
