In past versions of Persona 3, you had several club options for the main protagonist to explore, from the swim team to the kendo club. With the new changes to the club system, we’ll tell you if the Kendo Club is in Persona 3 Reload.
Can You Join the Kendo Club in Persona 3 Reload?
No, you can’t join the kendo club in Persona 3 Reload, as this club doesn’t exist in this version. Unlike previous Persona 3 games where you chose between the kendo, track, and swimming teams, you’ll default to joining the track team or art club rather than having multiple options.
In other words, your club options are much more limited, eliminating the question of which you should pick. Fortunately, you can still start new Social Links with each other, so joining clubs in Persona 3 Reload still has plenty of benefits.
You’ll initially encounter the track and fashion clubs starting on 4/23, with the art club appearing later in the game. The track and arts clubs are easy to join, as they have no pre-requisite requirements. The fashion club, on the other hand, requires Hierophant rank three and academics level two, alongside following the necessary steps to finding out about them in the first place.
Aside from that, you’ll find no further details on other open clubs in Persona 3 Reload, as they’re either completely unavailable or full, preventing you from joining. The kendo team is among those you won’t encounter despite previous game versions having it as one of several club options. While you’ll gain similar benefits from joining the track, fashion, and arts clubs, you won’t have an opportunity to swing a cool sword around during school.
What Club Should I Join in Persona 3 Reload?
You’ll always want to pick the club with the social links you like the most. Before making a hard decision on what club to join, you’ll get a chance to meet with the people involved and get to know their personalities a bit. This will give you a brief look into who they are as people. So you should always prioritize social links when deciding.
You can also do what I did and pick clubs based on vibes and roleplaying. I liked the idea of my character trying out for the track team, so that’s what I picked. This style of playing hasn’t steered me wrong yet.
