persona 3 is pretty swell :) 🖤 www.patreon.com/bubbletea_

Atlus was on the verge of bankruptcy and decided to make a game about death ☠️

The sentiment "Throughout the game, you see everyone lose someone close to them, EXCEPT FUUKA" is often used to critique her arc and say that she doesn't mesh with the themes. People completely miss that her resolution moment with Natsuki is built on the fact that while the cast has all lost someone incredibly close to them, Fuuka still has her parents. It's a call to action. For Fuuka to reach out to the people she still has left and make the most of the time they still have. Her resolution is one of the most important ones in the game for exactly that reason.

I have been waiting for this!

The point that hit me the most is when I tried to understand the lyrics of "Memories of you". Its not about the death, the end of the world, or saving it altogether. It about the memories that we made together.

To this day Persona 3 still has one of my favorite game OSTs of all time- even its version of Aria of the Soul is my favorite out of the whole Persona series.

Persona 3 is my favorite entry of the series. The themes and some of the character arcs resonated with me a lot more than any other Persona game. It's still one of my favorite games of all time. This video was excellent and really detailed pretty much everything there is to love about the game!

6:44 is why this is my favorite social sim persona, everyone took situations in a more realistic manner. Akihiko, doesn't go hog wild. After seeing the main character awaken. He's most likely thinking, "who did we let into our dorm?" maybe even; "This sophomore might prove useful". I appreciate Persona 4 & 5 trying to be entertaining any way they can, but a scenario in those games would include someone screaming, "A PERSONA NO WAY, like DuDE he can do that?". Akihiko's face is so perfect. No words, it's a real mood-setter for his awakening. The whole game is littered with amazing mood-setters. As well as, the characters never disagree with each other in the other games, 4 have like one time that happens and 5 only have a feuding moment to make a Morgana arc. 3 really makes you feel like saving the world isn't your only issue.

Yessss knock down is your friend. I love the reason FES has AI-control of party members. I always approached it from an "individual psychology" perspective, as in all the P3 members very much feel like separate individuals from the MC compared to the later Persona entries. Like the devs were going for based on the big P3 interview. I think it also means a lot that the male (and original) protag doesn't have SLs with the guys, and yet it doesn't mean "they're not friends." (There's actually a lot more I can say about this given the memento mori theme, the protag's starting demeanor, and the willing sacrifice at the end... and how the FemC route can offer a different perspective in large part *because* of how the male MC is portrayed, but I'm cutting all this short for brevity's sake lol). But yeah, it's a great point that it's not always easy to work together, even if you all have the same goal, and P3 incorporate that team dynamic feel very well. I know you bring up how P3 just feels very "real life"/organic, and this battle system is just another one of those reasons for me. Having played a lot of team sports and been in a lot of different music ensembles growing up, it just highlights that irl feel that you have to **communicate** with your teammates to get shit done. You all want to accomplish the same thing, but you all have different roles you need to fulfill to make it happen, and people can't read minds! Like speaking up when 3rd trombone part in jazz needs to play louder so the harmonies are brought out more. The player themself might not even realize that's what the ensemble needs rn. And dude yes, thanks for sharing more personal anecdotes with us like eating out in the Mitsuru section. I just want to say, it's cruel to shame people for things they don't know or have never experienced. 99% of people are doing their best with what they're given/based on their life experiences up to that point. It's already embarrassing finding out that something you didn't know is considered "common knowledge," so why be a shithead and make someone feel even dumber by making fun of them for it? "No wayyyyy you haven't done/don't know _______?!?" 🙃Not saying this happened to you in that particular instance, but this is just something I wanted to say lol. On that note, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT SHINJI AND THE FEMC TIMELINE SHIT. YOU'RE WRONG. 😂 (I agree, the chemistry is sweet, but I **am** one of those "I think it lessens the impact of memento mori and the Greek tragedy-inspiration of P3" folk lol. I think the same about the Chidori-Junpei thing in January ngl). Speaking of P3's Greek-tragedy inspiration, the social links very much echo that aesthetic really well, since one of the major aspects of that genre is the **tragic flaw.** Sure, all three Hashino Persona games have social links revolve around reverse-tarot archetype learning how to incorporate the upright traits, meaning all these characters have room to grow... but P3 above all three has pretty much every SL have a legit **flaw** at the start. Thank you for defending Mamoru btw. You just straight up Mamoru'd Mamoru and I can't thank you enough. Unconditional love is such an interesting concept. Like I agree, a relationship is a two-way street. Both parties will have a boundary, whether they think they have one or not. Ideally people will communicate and be clear about their boundaries **if** a time ever comes when one person keeps violating the other's, but even then things often don't work out unfortunately. With that said, the concept people call "unconditional love" realistically to me means something along the lines of: you can still wish that person gets the help they need/finds a way to change someday and live a fulfilling life, even if that means you won't be in it anymore. That's my take on it anyhow. I get we all think differently when it comes to the nature of human relationships. The month of December definitely plays into the Apathy syndrome aspect of this game. There are always gonna be times when life feels this way, and this works in a meta-sense where the player as well has to "slog through this month"/the difficult times and/or boring times (whichever way a person tends to view this month), to get to January and the apex of this fantastic game. and yesssss, JRPGs have **always** echoed anime tropes of the time. SAY IT LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK. It's like... Japanese archetypes will be reflected in ALL their different forms of media or something LOL. Persona 3 gang rise uppppppp. Incredible work. Thanks for doing this service for P3 and all us stans of it 🙏

55:15 - thank you for bringing that up!! One thing I love about Yukari is how impulsive she can be at times. She acts on emotion, and it often puts her at odds with people. Justified or not, she's always able to reflect and realize that maybe the way she approached the conflict was not the best. It takes a lot to reflect on your actions and apologize. I really admire her for that.

Persona 3 truly is a one-of-a-kind game. It's a game that affected me in a way I never thought possible. It's a game that saved my life at my darkest point. It made me realize things that I forgot in my depression. Not just the main game but the The Answer as well. It understood what I was going through and gave me the comfort I needed. I'll forever love and cherish this game.

Having played Persona 3 in my childhood. Persona 3 holds a special place in my heart. It's most definitely no.1 in all my favorite games.

the segment on yukari is important, so many times i'll see people dismiss yukari as a stone cold bitch when she really only gets angry when it's warranted. the game literally goes out of its way to show that she is a sweet and caring person, so when people call her a bitch for simply standing up for herself after being sexually objectified and call junpei a bro after doing said objectifying, it begs the question as to what the real reason people hate her is.

I think this video might be one of the very few pieces of media that actually made me tear up, reminded me how I grew to love P3 and how much it helped me throughout my life. Made me appreciate the game even more seeing what made it special and how this type of media although a game can make you appreciate life more

Man... This video is LEGIT one of the best I've seen in the entire YT... Persona 3 was always my favorite game of the series. And it's because it teached me a lot of things... Things that I was able to apply, and other things not yet... But one day I will, and every time I do, I'll remember this game.

The whole 2 hour journey of this video has been an amazing experience (and this is coming from someone who has a bad attention span). You got my sub, and I'm excited to explore more of your content!

I was 32 years old when i spent the night at a hotel for the very first time. I'd been to hostels and motels and (cheap) vacation homes before but NEVER an actual hotel. I was on a roadtrip with a friend and he got sick and he said oh lets just stay at this hotel for 1 night. He laughed for 5mins when i wanted to bring my sleeping bag and towels up to the room. I didn't KNOW hotels had towels and linens. My parents were very poor working class. And so we never went on any expensive vacations. I went on a plane ONCE when i was 16 and that was for a school trip we only managed to pay for with the help of my grandparents. The second time i was 22 years old and going to study abroad for 6 months. I just haven't done a lot of the stuff that people my age usually know how to do. Book flights, book hotels, know how to behave at a hotel breakfast buffet, know how to navigate an airport, buy anything that costs more than a couple of hundred bucks (i get such bad anxiety i start crying if i have to pay for a big ticket item). The important thing is that people are trying to learn knew things and that we're not letting our childhoods define us forever.

Persona 3 is my favorite video game of all time, so I really appreciate you being a voice advocating for it when so many people write it off. It's an absolute masterpiece of presentation and writing, along with some of the most fun and immersive gameplay I have ever experienced in a JRPG. Thanks for making great videos; I'm proud to have you on my Patreon.

Agreed that the P3 main cast is the strongest in the series - I hope the writers return to making you earn the trust and love of your teammates in P6 instead of making you "that guy" from the start

Persona 3 means so much to me. I love the way it tells its story and handles its characters. I love how the game is structured and how it plays. And I love that it was unabashedly experimental. Persona 3 feels like a game that isn't afraid of being itself. It knows what it wants to be and does it with the utmost confidence. It has a very clear theme and message that may not be delivered super subtly, but is still done very powerfully. The gameplay is unique, from it's predecessors, to it's successors, and even it's contemporaries. The game overall gives you a one of a kind experience regardless of your background in media. I'll never forget what this game has done for me. Memento Mori.

This game is one of my favorites of all time. It changed me as a person and helped shape who I am today.

Finally had time to sit down and enjoy this in all its glory. You absolutely cooked with this one. I especially appreciate the Yukari and Junpei sections since people are way too harsh on their dynamic; they clearly care about each other despite their bickering. The music section was also great since the soundtracks contribute so much to the tones of the male and female route. I like how the male soundtrack is more chill while the female is peppier since it makes the female route and protagonist feel even more unique. Awesome video.

Approaching the end of the video and man, you've really encapsulated how I feel about this game. Persona 3 is my favourite in the series and I'm so happy to see others share that same amount of passion for it. This is an amazing video, thank you so much for making it!

P3's story and themes made it one of my favorites in the series. It made up for whatever gameplay qualms I may have. Personally, I have P3Fes and P5R at a tie for best Persona game.(I haven't played Femc route and looking forward to it!) Both games had really moving bits that made me cry too. Hard for me to pick one. I agree with P3 having the best cast too. I loved everyone! And you hit the nail - I don't think simply being like best friends is interesting enough to me or a great criteria to rank which cast is the best on. I much preferred P3's dynamic and I would actually like to see more complex relationships like that in P6. It's how they eventually got close only towards the latter part of the game that I liked. The development of their relationships. I love how you explained Yukari. She's my favorite girl from P3, 4 and 5. Thanks for this great in-depth video!

comfort video

I had the reverse experience compared to most where p3p was my intro to persona and when I played P4 I was disappointed that I had to run around instead of just clicking where to go 😂

You know it’s a good day when bubbletea posts

DAMN this was good! i love long analysis style videos, and you knocked this out of the park! keep it up!! :)

I feel like not enough people talk about how Shinji literally came back from the dead to give minato that last piece of encouragement he needed

Thank you for mentioning Memories of the city at the near end! It is definitely one of the best pieces of music in video game history.

You know, I was always confused why you removed your original video on Persona 3. However, I'm glad that you decided to take the time to make a definitive retrospective on the game. This was a pretty well written video, can't wait for more.

you started talking about Junpei at 58 mins but i got distracted by the traverse town music in the background, great video

It's nice to see such a thoughtful retrospective on the Persona 3 experience made in good faith and experience. I look forward to seeing your future work, and I'm now subscribed. Persona 3 is still my favorite of the series as I played the original PS2 version before FES dropped. I thought it was the most deserving of the old titles for a reintroduction, and now I get to see what that will look like outside of my mind soon. Thanks again for giving this game the attention it deserved.

P3 and 4 by far had the most impact on me, this was a really well made video, great work!

I had a fairly similar intro to the series and Atlus as a whole. My roommate had a TV in our dorm and at night he'd play Persona 5. I remember watching him and asking him about it. Fast forward a few years later, and while I was looking for something new to play I picked up P5 and have been into the series since. Played 4 a few months later, and just this January I played P3. Another friend showed me how to emulate games, so it's onto 1 and 2. Before I knew it I played Nocturne and Catherine as well, and I'm halfway thru Soul Hackers 2.

Love this video! A lot of your points, especially those related to Yukari and Shinji, are things I've thought about for a while but didn't know how to articulate. And you gave me a completely new perspective on/appreciation for Mitsuru, who I wasn't that interested in before. Thanks for making this!

the way i cried over the shinji part and not in the "oh the timeline is messed up" way but in the "HE HURTS ME SO BAD I FEEL ILL I MISS HIM" way. after i played through his social link i Cried upon realization during the full moon scene, and i just. man. shinjiro is an amazing character even with him not having a proper end because he's not Supposed to, he's supposed to die, and he accepts it, but he definitely held regrets and shinjiro's social link in p3p shows that so well... im sad ok

literally encapsulates all of how i feel about persona 3,,, it hit so hard for me when i first played, and every time I'm going through something difficult, I boot it up again, or I just watch someone play it.. top 10 video essay ever

I just wanted to say, that I really enjoyed this video. All of your videos have been really incredible, and I think you talked about all the right points in this one. Keep up the great work!

I just finished persona 3 for the first time yesterday so this is the perfect time to watch this

This was a great video. Persona 3 is personally my favourite one in the series and one of my favourite pieces of media in general. So I really appreciate it for the work that you put in and your dedication in making this video. You did an excellent job. Aigis was the best girl for me and also one of my favourite characters, but I can understand your reasoning of not liking her that much compared to others.

It's honestly kinda funny (and refreshing mind you) that Yukari gets an extra long segment due to her being misunderstood by the broader community. I was indifferent towards her, but your segment on her character really put into perspective the amount of care put into each and every member of SEES. Bravo. On that note, Aigis is my favourite P3 character, and you were spot on when talking about her. She doesn't really come into her own until the very end of the game, however it is my opinion that the moments where she does shine, she shines the brightest. It also sort of helps that the P3 movies zero-in on the relationship between Aigis and the MC more, but perhaps that was intrusive towards many people who aren't Aigis fanboys.

P3fes was the last persona game i played after 4 and 5, but hotdamn its by FAR my favorite. Such an incredible game

I'm about to watch every second of this masterpiece

Yess!! I think you've pretty much touched upon all the reasons why this is my favorite of the persona games! I am one of those folks who do love Aigis jfjgig but it's okay if you didn't really care for her as much! I'm also very glad you're not one of those fans who hate Yukari; you brought up a lot of points about her character and how complex and realistic her character really is and I appreciate it! Also same with Junpei! I will be honest though and say that I still have yet to finish p2 ... both games, so idk my favorite could change possibly. Persona 3 was my first of the persona games so there might also be a little bit of bias there, but I think for me it also was good timing when I first played it and since then it held a special place in my heart💙! Thoroughly enjoyed the video!!

I’m glad someone speaks out for Yukari, literally such a good character! I’ll never understand why people shit on her, but praise Chie

Wow this channel is so underrated, great work man.

The only good thing about P5's AI: Morgana's actually prioritises healing Ann over anyone else. I normally don't find the Morgana simp jokes funny, but when they're written into the actual CODE? Amazing. Yukari gets a lot of demonization for the whole 'Fuuka was pressured to join' phase. I think a lot of people are just mentally conditioned to believe the JRPG party are "the good guys" and therefore she has no logical reason to be so against someone joining, but they can't see the characters' perspective: this is a shady group that's been keeping secrets and risks their lives on a weekly basis, and they're forcing another teenager in right after she got stuck in Tartarus for weeks unprepared. lol, you and I are on the same page about Mitsuru's social link feeling like a rom-com... BUT that turned me against it as I've seen a LOT of bad rom-coms in my day.

never did i think i'd see JohneAwesome in a bubbletea video (4 month old video but keep up the great work, bubbletea! love the megaten videos a lot, i platted persona 3 portable a few weeks ago on PS5 and now im gonna play FES soon thanks to this video)

great video man i enjoyed it and made me realise how much of the game ive forgotten over the years and makes me want to replay it

I just don't understand people saying "persona 3 has the worst writing of the franchise, persona 3 has the worst characters of the franchise, skip persona 3 man this game is unplayable, persona 3 is just EDGY cause back in 2000 EDGY was cool" this people played the game blindfolded? They even played the game? How can these people talk so much shit about this masterpiece?

I'm always happy to see an analysis of one of my favorite games ever :)

Bubbletea I love you thanks for a 2 hour vid

when i was younger (15 yr old) i used to think that yukari was really a btch, a really mean girl, specially towards junpei, a decade later i replay the game and come to the realization that she was, in fact a very likeable person, that was, such a strange yet, good feeling, it make me realize how i grow and how dump dump i was has a teenager

firstly this is an amazing write up of one of my favorite games of all time. i agree with you on so many points. it's such a strong entry, the cast is incredible and absolutely the best written in the series, and i actually 10000% agree with you on the party control issue... not only is it NOT EVEN THAT DIFFICULT TO USE, but i think it really helps tell the story through the gameplay and people overlook that a lot. secondly your thoughts on shinjiro/femc are so real and also mirror mine perfectly. they definitely got married and lived happily ever after there is nothing bad that happens to either of them again :)))) but fr, you're absolutely right. saving shinjiro doesn't go against the core themes imo - if anything, it helps solidify them. yes, death is inevitable. yes, people die. no, that does not mean we should just give up on everything because that fate is inescapable.

It’s a good day when a new P3 vid drops

Fantastic video this was my first persona and you help put the reasons I prefer this game over the others into words for the story and characters and atmosphere throughly have enjoyed the video glad to be a patron

omg you were at college at P5 ? I was at college on P3 got out. Daaamn its so cool to see the series evolving and changing along generations. Tnks for the video, Im watchting while working this afternoon. Cheers from Brasil

King you dropped this 👑 Honestly my favourite big video about Persona 3, took the words out of my mouth on nearly everything and talked about things that I wanted people to talk about. Keep up with the peak content 🎉

Weird, I just started down a persona rabbit hole this week! Perfect, thank you!

And here I was in the middle of binging your older videos 😁 nice

I listened to this while going through the final parts of Tartarus in p3p, great video 😄

I really loved this video, it definitely put to words how I feel about persona 3, maybe cause im the same and it was also my first persona game, Persona 3 Portable and I'm really loving reload right now too! Definitely plan to watch more of your videos as well while on lunch lol

The breakdown and emphasis of the combat system and why the AI controlled party is actually built fairly well based on things like turn order/new tactics/skills/enemy scanning is why I enjoy your content specifially as a Persona / SMT youtuber. I'd be lying if I said it's not also because you validate many of my own thoughts about the series and this game, but it's mainly because I feel like you focus on things others overlook or maybe forget to discuss!

I finished this game not so long ago this year both The Journey and The Answer, so this is perfect! I love this game so much from start to finish, so gonna binge the hell out of this.

this is one of the greatest videos i have ever watched, period. persona 3 is my second favorite game in the series and my favorite of the hashino games by a large margin. ive always appreciated the aesthetics, the love and care put into iwatodai/tatsumi port, the characters you meet, the places you visit, and the story that atlus uses those places to tell. its not perfect but it means a lot to me and persona 3 portable specifically was actually a big part of my self discovery, coming to understand myself, my identity, my place in the world. i can't really say id be who i am today without p3 and even if it isn't my favorite video game ever or even my favorite jrpg ever, its still a really really really important game to me and one of the most meaningful experiences ive ever had in my life, and this video was great supplementary material to that experience and im very grateful that you took the time and effort to share your own experience so thoroughly and in-depth!

I love Persona 3 so much, both for the personal impact it had for me and, for better or for worse, setting the stage for major parts of what I like about Persona as a series. It's so insane just how well Persona 3 just... WORKS.

Wake up babe 2 hour long persona 3 video from bubbletea

Such a great video, love your content!!

Sorry for my English. I was really happy to hear your opinion about Shinjiro, cuz he is underrated. But maybe it’s because he really shines in his social link with femc. Great video, thank u for persona 3 content

Just played P2EP and thought about your P2 videos that inspired me during playthrough of P2IS. And here you are dropping content in minutes ! Thanks!

Thank you for this video, you describe so well why it's my favorite in the series

I love how you waited to use the great seal to the line "spit it out son, Game's over!"

i saw this video a while go on my feed but i wanted to save it as i didn't finish persona 3 at the time. coming back to the video finishing it, persona 3 really is an experience that i cherish a lot, especially after i was nervous about the game because people kept saying the characters were bad or that it was the "worst" gameplay wise. im also really happy that you gave a fair judgement of the femc route, i always encounter a lot of people saying her as a character "ruins" persona 3 but i have the headcanon that femc still is as depressed as makoto, she just has a different way of expressing it through hiding it. great video overall!.

How did I just realize the genius of having the great seal cost 100% of your hp? No other skills let you kill yourself, but that's exactly what needs to happen to seal nyx

it's late asf so I'm gonna finish watching tommorow but so far this is looking to be a great video

just finished watching the whole thing, banger vid

honestly aside from the ai actually being pretty competent and emphasizing leader/team synergy with your party members, i think being able to see the turn cycle of *every* person in battle instead of just only the person thats turn is next like the other games do makes ai party worth it for me lol

This was really amazing, thank you so much

Persona 3 was my introduction to RPGS, and will forever hold a special place in my heart. Even after all these years, it's still true though that everyone is gangster until Kimi no Kioku drops

One thing i love about aigis is that she always seems to know more than she lets out, during the scene after you seal nyx, shes the only one that seems to really understand what happened. I just kept thinking back to searching for that cat with her. How we kept looking for it until the old lady said "shes probably looking for a place to die you dont have to keep looking". Learning about what it means to be alive and what it means to die staying with you til your final moments crying as shes telling you how much she still wants to be with you. It feels painfully real.

Great video, love P3 but mostly I just came to agree with your appreciation of Mitsuru, best girl for sure, I do love Aigis (and really, the whole cast in general) but Mitsuru is absolutely awesome... I may just have to go and replay the game now :X The only thing that is bad about her is the requirements neccessary and how late she unlocks as a social link, meaning if you dont go by a guide or dont know the game really well, you may even entirely miss out on her social link, or at least large parts of it, not to mention her christmas date. And while it makes sense, its still a bit off putting that you need to be so intelligent for her to even consider hanging out with you, even if she does mean it in a good way for your future. There are people who dislike Mass Destruction? Its so freaking lit. The music in this game is absolutely amazing, I replayed it several times but I cant help but cry at the credits song and the music in the city after you defeat Nyx is also incredible, they got the tone just right. I also dont get the hate for Yukari, but in my mind it always mostly stemmed from her actions in the Answer rather than her actions in the main game because she does always try to make up for her shortcomings, it also never really seemed like there is any real bad blood between her and Junpei so I just took it as bit of a friendly banter, I dont know, I like her, imo P3 cast is the strongest of the games. And yea, this is probably the only jrpg I can confidently say really did the power of friendship thing well, its almost in every jrpg but its usually so obvious and so overt that it kinda ruins any and all feelings of danger or stakes, here yea, power of friendship saves the day, but not only is it earned but it also still comes at a cost. Also... BURN MY BREAAAAAD!

I finished Portable a few weeks or so ago and still can't stop thinking about it. Discovered your channel a bit before I started playing it and actively avoided all of the videos on 3 before I could play it myself. Glad I waited since this is was great. I like how you're making your own opinions on these games clear. It might sound strange but I felt like I was having a sort of a conversation with this video while watching it. We definitely have differing perspectives and opinions on some things about this game and the rest of them but I can see where you were coming from most of the time. Gives me a nice feeling of my intelligence being respected enough to have the balls to say stuff that a lot of people disagree with about these games, if that makes any sense. Parroting all the mainstream opinions gives the feeling of just being a community yes-man and that puts me to sleep usually, I like hearing differing opinions. 3 isn't my favorite game of the series that I've played so far (3P, 4G, 5 and 5R), but it absolutely has my favorite ending. That scene with Aigis on the rooftop always makes me tear up. Keep up the great work and much love from a random on the internet

What an incredible video!! I love it!!! ❤ Persona 3 is an awesome game

Ur vids are so good bro keep it up!!

Can't watch this because I haven't finished FES yet, but I'm leaving a comment to boost this video's performance. Love your videos.

LETS GOOOOO THE PERSONA 3 VIDEO IS FINALLY OUT

It’s really ironic that this is considered the “edgy” persona game, when I feel like P5 is much more fitting of that title with the whole “rebelling against shitty adults” thing it does

Persona 3 means so much to me. I love your cover of this it's been a while since I played the persona 3 games even though I have played it multiple times (I lost count after 50) about 9 years ago

yeah persona 3 is great, one of my favorite games it's kind of funny cause seeing others play thorugh it and some say that "man this game needs a remake not cause of gameplay or pacing but it's so dated with the writing and characters." i mean i would like a remake but thematic concept about life and death, the cast learning to cope with grief, growing to trust and bond along side each other thats the fundementals that make P3 stand out to me the most

I gotta say, that intro to the music section got my sides aching, I had tears in my eyes laughing 😂

i need this on my grave i love persona 3 to bits like fes changed me forever. the social links were so immersive for me and i played it like... fairly recently, in my 2nd term of first year college and playing p3 it genuinely made me miss highschool and the hs life i couldve had if it werent for the pandemic and :'))) i love the cast sm i miss them everyday

I'm sure I'm in the minority that likes Tartarus and Mementos music lol. They just fit well imo and didn't really annoy me either

I prefer to play all of the persona series with AI teammates. It gives the characters way more human feeling. The ai isn't bad, and it truly is like battling alongside your friends. On top of that, the act freely tactic is actually pretty broken when your team is set up right for it

Currently watching this whilst fighting Nyx. Thank you for this.

You nailed it on Yukari.

P3 was my first Persona game, and tied for my favorite with 5, as it hit me right when I needed it back in 2020. Watching this makes me want to go back and start a new play through.

Great video, I especially liked the character part not just because I (mostly) agree with it, but it just feels like a more honest assessment of them, I find a lot of people will just write the characters, both induvially or as a group, off and then just say they are bad.

Thanks for making this video, just finished P3 Fes, amazing game.

0:25 >"if you told people these games were from the same series... i'm not sure they'd believe you" >first clip is a character in a turn-based rpg summoning a monster to attack an enemy while saying the word "persona" out loud >second clip is a character in a turn-based rpg summoning a monster to attack an enemy while saying the word "persona" out loud (in all seriousness, i like the video! i just thought your choice of clips to demonstrate the difference between the two games is a little ironically funny :3)
