In Persona 3 Reload, characters depicted in suits often carry connotations of authority, professionalism, or enigmatic presence. This sartorial choice is significant for several key figures and available customization options.
Notable Figures in Suits
Shuji Ikutsuki
The advisor to the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES) and the Chairman of Gekkoukan High School's board, Shuji Ikutsuki, is consistently portrayed in a formal suit. This attire underscores his initial presentation as a knowledgeable and reliable authority figure guiding the team. His professional appearance is a deliberate aspect of his character design, contrasting sharply with his underlying intentions revealed later in the narrative.
Igor
As the proprietor of the Velvet Room, Igor is an iconic character instantly recognizable by his distinctive, dark suit. His formal, somewhat old-fashioned attire, combined with his unique features, contributes to the mysterious and otherworldly ambiance of the Velvet Room. The suit reinforces his role as a powerful, knowledgeable, and often cryptic guide for the protagonist.
Protagonist Customization
The protagonist in Persona 3 Reload has access to a variety of unlockable and downloadable cosmetic outfits, a number of which are formal suits. These can range from traditional business suits to more stylized formal wear. Equipping these outfits allows players to alter the protagonist's appearance during gameplay, including exploration, combat, and in-engine cutscenes, offering a visual change from the standard Gekkoukan High uniform or other casual attire.
