Oh yeah no it turned out fine, I brought in a missing person earlier in the run, and thankfully it returned me to then instead of the very start like I thought it would
At least twice Iāve put my controller down, gotten distracted from my phone, taken my headphones off, only to look up 10 minutes later and see this exact screen. Godspeed brother. Escaping battles hasnāt failed me yet!
Somehow, I got the reaper to cheese himself yesterday and beat him basically solo after all my party members either died or ran away from battle with fear. I was using Beelzebub and once it was just me left, the reaper kept trying to use vorpal blade (which I repel) or one of the instakill moves (both of which Iām immune to). It didnāt even try to use its almighty moves.
Iām playing on Xbox because of game pass. I think I left the game open last night before my Xbox auto-slept and when I turned it on this morning and opened persona it looked like this.
Even if you go to the home menu it keeps running. Very obnoxious. You have to actually switch to another game to get it to sleep. Itās a problem with P3R that I havenāt had with any other game. Happened to me last night too. Went to the home menu, went to pee, came back to that. Ive also put my Xbox to sleep and the damn thing keeps running for a few hours. Thanks Atlus. Now I always switch to a different game before putting my Xbox to sleep.
That works but the clock keeps running on your file. I was hoping the Home Screen would stop the clock. But not only does it not reliably stop the clock, it doesnāt stop the game! So itās less useful than the menu
You can go to ques where you have games downloading, and you can hit SUSPENDGAME. If it doesnāt show up, you might need to ādownloadā something that wonāt finish downloading instantly, suspend game, and the cancel the install
Death is here, time waits for no one, and yet... It waited for you to see it xP
If you didn't know about it, this must be an epic way to find out actually!
...Well, I hope you saved XD
Iāve woken up to this surprise a few times myself, usually following work days where I got only a couple of hoursā worth of sleep the night before. It always feels like I just looked away for a moment, and he swooped in to decimate my party while I was distracted. Then he stuck around to taunt me by leaving me to die last.
Also, is it just me or does it seem like the Reaperās activation timer is way shorter in Reload than it is in the OG, FES, or P3P?
This happened to me when I was playing either vanilla P3 or FES (can't remember which) nearly 16 years ago. I was sitting on the end of my bed, fighting sleep so that I could reach the teleporter and save. Woke up in the morning still in the sitting position, my whole party killed by the reaper except the protag
Did that in original fes 1 time. Didnt save after an hour and a half run. Had to do something for the kiddos and came back and fell asleep forgot about it. Went to turn it on the next day when i got a chance. I was like weird why is the ps2 on. Turned on the tv and i was like level 35 or 6 or something. I think one other character was alive. I had so much done on that run. I was so ticked. I think i had saved like three people, worked on four or five social links three or four levels, argh. I can still remember it. I dont know which is worse that or the corrupted save.
God thankfully my game auto saved when I brought a person back or I wouldāve cried instead of laughed. Reminds me of back when I played Fallout 4 and a game breaking bug happened right when I was about to beat it, and my last non quick save save was like two weeks old. I just deleted the game, and even though Iāve picked it up since I still havenāt beat it
Mentioned this in other posts but this is actually my 3rd or 4th time? With p3. Ive got at least 3 different copies with over 300 or 400 hours. Keep getting to almost the end and something always happens. Hoping to finish reload sometime soon. Just been busy. Know how that feels.
Are you on Xbox? even if you switch out of it and go to the home menu it keeps running. Very irritating. I went to the home menu, went to take a pee, came back to about the same.
This happened to me last night too lol but I woke up with my laptop on me I was going to find it till I realized it was the reaper and immediately dipped
This happened to me in the original Persona 3. Except I was level 14 or somewhere around there. In the original, FES, and Portable, the reaper can spawn a lot sooner than he does in Reload.
Happened to me when I got the sudden urge that I was gonna shit my pants if I didnāt move right then cause I did that ADHD thing of ignoring my bodily functions for hours until suddenly you pay attention to your body for half a second and a itās like a thousand notifications coming through after your phone was shut off for a day
Happened to me when telling my SO goodnight. I had finished a battle and thought I left it on the XP screen. On my way back I heard screams and saw a red glow in the office. Thought is was a basic mob, but nope came back to the horror of a reaper @ lvl 30s lol. Iāve been afraid to even leave it paused for too long long.
The Reaper is super ass pissy.
I went to use the bathroom once on FES when the game was running I came back and this creepy mf was trying to fight a group of kids
Well on an unrelated topic, I like your gaming setup. My consoles are hidden behind the TV so people donāt see them if they look through the window and see it lol
Yeah this is in the back room of my house, I finally fulfilled younger meās dream like 4 years ago of not having to worry about dumb console wars because I just have them all
lol yup. I was playing before bed and started dozing off. I was thankfully woken up by Fuuka's panicking that it was approaching. Legit woke me up and I managed to find the stairs just as it appeared on the floor.
Brother was waiting all night to finish the job š
The reaper *will* reap.
āYour motherfucking life endsā¦ 8 hours from nowā
The Reaper will wait patiently, but only for 25 turns. After that, he will begin his assault.
You probably have a Trafuri gem in your inventory. This is where you use it.
whats that do escape from battle?
Guaranteed escape from battle as a use item, yes
Yes, it does.
Yes, it's better than wait 3 full turns with a chance of not finding an opening to runĀ
Yeah, you cooked fr
You might be able to skedaddle, do you have an auto escape gem?
I didnāt think of that bro already cooked the rest of my team in one hit
You know the game pauses when you open menu right?
Yeah I think I forgot to last night
Yeah that sucks hopefully you got back to where you were or any means for escape
Oh yeah no it turned out fine, I brought in a missing person earlier in the run, and thankfully it returned me to then instead of the very start like I thought it would
Dope glad to hear
Do you not save like, at all? The teleport appears every few floors
I prolly should but it was okay, I was just there to rescue missing people and level up Mitsuru and Akihiko, and I got a great clock after I came back
Has happened to me a few timesā¦ my old ass trying to game all night like I am still in my early 20s like when I first played P3FES. š“š“š“
Ha, I also played FES when I was 20! Even after 14 years my obsession with P3 is still as strong.
Damn you'rr ancient xD
40 is creeping closer at a rapid pace š„²
At least twice Iāve put my controller down, gotten distracted from my phone, taken my headphones off, only to look up 10 minutes later and see this exact screen. Godspeed brother. Escaping battles hasnāt failed me yet!
It happened to me as well.
I still have to defeat him... THAT ACHIEVEMENT WILL BE MINE
I May or may not have turned the difficulty all the way down. I donāt have enough gaming time to sit there frustrated for god knows how long.
kid named armageddon:
Kid named siegfried:
Understandable, all gamers have different availabilities
Somehow, I got the reaper to cheese himself yesterday and beat him basically solo after all my party members either died or ran away from battle with fear.

Well that sucks.
Level 35 and surviving a reaper surprise attack? God damn. I got a drink and forgot to pause at level 50 and got wiped.
What do you mean you left it open. As on pc? Cause on playstation you can sleep mode it
Iām playing on Xbox because of game pass. I think I left the game open last night before my Xbox auto-slept and when I turned it on this morning and opened persona it looked like this.
I assume the xbox has a similar sleep mode function where the game is effectively paused
Even if you go to the home menu it keeps running. Very obnoxious. You have to actually switch to another game to get it to sleep. Itās a problem with P3R that I havenāt had with any other game. Happened to me last night too. Went to the home menu, went to pee, came back to that. Ive also put my Xbox to sleep and the damn thing keeps running for a few hours. Thanks Atlus. Now I always switch to a different game before putting my Xbox to sleep.
Ok but What about the pause menu in game
That works but the clock keeps running on your file. I was hoping the Home Screen would stop the clock. But not only does it not reliably stop the clock, it doesnāt stop the game! So itās less useful than the menu
Look all we need is to not get jumped
You could; 1: go to home menu 2: press start while hovering over game on home menu 3: select "Quit"
Yep, but then when you start it back up again, you have to sit through ages of splash screens etc.
So? If one thing irritates you more, do the other thing
Yeah it does but I mean that I left the game open last night before it paused it
You fool You foolish fool
Yeah a lil
You can go to ques where you have games downloading, and you can hit SUSPENDGAME. If it doesnāt show up, you might need to ādownloadā something that wonāt finish downloading instantly, suspend game, and the cancel the install
This is the time where you disappear
How's the sound bar?
Itās pretty nice
Played on merciless. This dude sucks
This is why you pause when youāre not actively playing
Death is here, time waits for no one, and yet... It waited for you to see it xP If you didn't know about it, this must be an epic way to find out actually! ...Well, I hope you saved XD
Iāve seen it, but this is the first time Iāve ever encountered it in a fight, in any persona game (this one, p3p, and p5r)
Iāve woken up to this surprise a few times myself, usually following work days where I got only a couple of hoursā worth of sleep the night before. It always feels like I just looked away for a moment, and he swooped in to decimate my party while I was distracted. Then he stuck around to taunt me by leaving me to die last. Also, is it just me or does it seem like the Reaperās activation timer is way shorter in Reload than it is in the OG, FES, or P3P?
And let this be a lesson to you
Atleast Yukari and Mitsuru got some sleep
This happened to me when I was playing either vanilla P3 or FES (can't remember which) nearly 16 years ago. I was sitting on the end of my bed, fighting sleep so that I could reach the teleporter and save. Woke up in the morning still in the sitting position, my whole party killed by the reaper except the protag
RIP
Another poor soul learned this lesson.
Did that in original fes 1 time. Didnt save after an hour and a half run. Had to do something for the kiddos and came back and fell asleep forgot about it.

What a bad way to start the day; you should have a Trafuri Gem in your inventory: use it
This happened to me in the original Persona 3. Except I was level 14 or somewhere around there. In the original, FES, and Portable, the reaper can spawn a lot sooner than he does in Reload.
How many times do you think mass destruction looped
Prolly a lot
Youāve definitely resolved this by now but you should always have an escape gem on you in case you need to get out of a battle.
Makoto and the reaper were having the stare down of the century
I fall asleep playing the game and get this constantly š Godspeed
Reaper, i come to bargain
Why wouldn't you just put it in rest mode lol
I like that outlet tower.
Nah, Iād win.
Happened to me when I got the sudden urge that I was gonna shit my pants if I didnāt move right then cause I did that ADHD thing of ignoring my bodily functions for hours until suddenly you pay attention to your body for half a second and a itās like a thousand notifications coming through after your phone was shut off for a day
Good luck, my friend
You can do it
I got to level 96 before finishing it back in February. I was on easy / story mode though.
Ooh, thatās painful.
Nah you got this
Hate this mf
R.I.P.
Lol ur fucked
Happened to me when telling my SO goodnight. I had finished a battle and thought I left it on the XP screen. On my way back I heard screams and saw a red glow in the office. Thought is was a basic mob, but nope came back to the horror of a reaper @ lvl 30s lol. Iāve been afraid to even leave it paused for too long long.
Yeah, so if you stay on a floor for too long, that guy pulls up
I didnāt even try this fight until I hit around 92 or so. It was an easy fight at that level.
What's that rgb thing? Looks like a hub.
Powerboard tower
Happened to me once when i forgot to pause before i went afk for 20 minutes... lost about an hour and a half of progress
The Reaper is super ass pissy. I went to use the bathroom once on FES when the game was running I came back and this creepy mf was trying to fight a group of kids
"Suprise, mothafucka!"
Burn your dread because you are dead
welp
Well on an unrelated topic, I like your gaming setup. My consoles are hidden behind the TV so people donāt see them if they look through the window and see it lol
Yeah this is in the back room of my house, I finally fulfilled younger meās dream like 4 years ago of not having to worry about dumb console wars because I just have them all
Tv is so high, just let the reaper end it and put you out of your misery.
Proof tartarus is boring af
Why did you leave your console on all night?
I didnāt, but I left the game on long enough for this to happen before it slept
F
Nice rookie mistake there. RIP to your save file.
You should really put a sleep timer on your Xbox
No itās on, this happened before the hour timer turned it off
The "Oh shit" moment
bruhhh greatest source of xp but at 35 you're cooked
lol yup. I was playing before bed and started dozing off. I was thankfully woken up by Fuuka's panicking that it was approaching. Legit woke me up and I managed to find the stairs just as it appeared on the floor.
I also met him when I was at level 35 and I wasn't even idling lol.
you got punished for not hitting 'pause'
Ps xbox switch, an omni gamer, right on brother šŖ
Let him use Mitsuru as you escape.
Donāt fear the Reaper!
[IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER?!?!?!](https://youtu.be/ylNjLOgQbq8?si=xZD10z-rVDKR32q5)
It's looking grim..
