"It is a spin-off canonical story sequel to a fourth installment in a spin-off series, which has heavily distanced itself from its roots since the third installment, while still having indications that it is supposed to take place in the same story continuity established by the spin-off the spin-off series based itself upon. So it is a spin-off of a sequel of an entry that had a director change and thus ceased being anything like its previous installments, which were a spin-off of a what-if take on a reboot based on a video game adaption of a novel."

You ruined the joke. How does it feel you dipshits

Well you the 4th installment is actually the 5th because Atlus was like hey lets make two games called persona 2

I wouldn’t say reboot more so alternate universe

Wait what about Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold

I see that pretty unlikely since those characters fit a bit more within SMT and not the current Persona style, but hey...

The idea of people actually playing the piano and singing the song in the velvet room is amazing. Since P3 it just feels very lonely, only Igor and his companion(s) and only the MC goes there, Im' pretty sure in P1 and P2 the whole party enters the room. It seems like they just went for another path for good sadly.

@@rober4 I mean P5 feels a lot like SMT to me. It's based in Tokyo, and a lot of themes feel fitting for an SMT game.

The velvet room of Persona 2...what a beatiful ambient.

Shin Megami Tensei: Megami Ibunroku Persona 0

That is common nickname in fact 😉

You see I was going to say Nyarly and Nam(whatever number he had) but then I saw that this was two years ago.

@@SleepyLeon22 Also there is a youtuber that is played the megami tensei games and it really says about the gameplay and how this series started

OK

Same here Wondering what SMT5 will be like... I got 4 but not FINAL yet

who is a persona 2?

@White-Van Helsing Daggerfall is one of the most overrated games of all time so, no.

@@TheBig451 Elder Scrolls in general is extraordinarily overrated.

@@Slappaccino yeah lmao

Thanks Mojo, I'm also hoping it booms because the people that watched seem to really dig it, and I like that it's giving more of a positive outlook on Persona 1 which is kind of hard to find these days.

SnicketySlice somehow this video popped up in my recommendations and i loved every second of it! You got a new sub.

Since he got 8 times the views of his amount of subs I'd say it did boom

It doesn't get enough love.

Itt doesn´t get enough love neither from the fanbase or Atlus itself

Barely anyone likes persona 1. I love persona one as much as I love the rest of the games, good.

what about its story or characters is better than 2's duology? I'm genuinely curious on your viewpoint and why you think that.

@endiness endiness wow, projecting much?

I wish they made a remake with the SMT5 engine

@@joaogarcia6170 as long as they won't change the dungeon crawler aspect of the game I'm all good with it but the team with persona and mainline SMT is different though. So no... I don't like soejima change the art of persona 1 with his own if they remake it, not that I hate his art but I don't like his art for the P1 protag on the anniversary art, I like masayuki more and how he drew him in persona 2 it fits his personality.

Daaaamn you really missed out on something

Yeah there would be a lot of phallic demons. Oh wait...

that's cause the SMT series is where all the fruedian stuff went! and Komashida.

As of me writing this, this Comment has 69 likes. Very nice.

@@marronhak2441 crap. Just pushed it to 70. I ruin all the sexy fun!

I actually want some of that stuff in SMT. It’s a extremely unexplained and unrepresented part of psychology that’s honestly fascinating to me. Maybe a social link that touches upon that. They aren’t afraid with getting uncomfortable with some of the subject matter in the games and SMT is probably one of the only series that Freudian Psychology could fit in.

Tbf the older games kind of just were SMT but not SMT. The ones past 3 have their own distinct theming.

You're in it now, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE

start with persona 2 persona1 is kinda meh

Nameless Protagonist P2 is the best

I know how you feel.I am currently playing p3 portable on an emulator and it’s awsome !

Nah id still recommend the psp verson of p1. Sure its not as good as the others, but the wrost of a great series is still good.

Isnt that the one with a drag queen demon?

SMT franchise was never for kids and even Persona games have those kind of demons.

@@TheRezro Diving into that subject matter wouldn’t even fit into a M rated game at least in the US. Even now all of that stuff needs to be toned down otherwise the game will receive the PC exclusive A rating. An A rating would absolutely kill sales for a game because: It cannot be sold in stores, it’ll probably immediately be labeled as porn with the rating, having a game who exists next to basically all porn isn’t a good look and it cannot be ported to consoles. Some stuff is just too risqué for a game.

@@notafbiagent473 Yeh, I know that. Thanks for explaining anyway.

Funny as there is a Persona 3 and Persona 5 crossover fanfic that has Ken become a Phantom Thief and he mentions that Jungan phycology has similarities to Personas.

Atlus doesnt know what persona 1 and 2 is its just makebelieve they would have to make everything 90s orientated like pagers payphones etc lol

They re-realeased both of those games. Unsure about updating it though 😔🙌

Fool! Everyone knows that Persona 3 was the first Persona title!

They were already rereleased. Why update those two games instead of putting their time into a new persona game?

The Simp Lord so that the newer persona fans can enjoy the old games without buying an old console

Yo dawg! We up here in da mean streets of Chicago summonin' personas & shieeeet.

if you tell them persona is better written as well they flip their shit lol

*has Joseph joestar as profile*

@@soliipsiism Hahaha it makes me wonder what happened.

@@soliipsiism 7 months ago and after watching it, yea I can see why lmao

@@tenaciouscreator5787 Well thinking some Jojo fans are big dum dums doesn't mean you can't also be a fan of the series yourself.

How you gonna bash mark like that

you really should, they're great

He did it for the Vine.

flapjackxl Or, more realisticly, "Wait, there's TWO Persona games?"

Wait there is Three persona games before P3?

"I thought the series started at Persona 3, like how Final Fantasy started with 7." I assume it's like Ocean's 11, but what would I know.

*"Persona 1 and Persona 2? are those f a n g a m e s ? ?"*

It is they who said "Persona 5 is the best persona, the storyline was (blah99x overprouding the game)." Ofc cuz it is released on PS4. I wanna remake the 1st two so badly

Good timing then!

That would be such a treat. Or atleast to see them as adults in a future persona series

The chances are low but one could dream

Thanks! I did used to produce documentaries so that was very much my intention :D Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks! I would guess because it's still a pretty niche series.

​@@SnicketySlice Minor correction. SMT: If isn't actually alternative... reality? Title come from movie what was inspiration for this game. Actually profesor Otsuki, who most likely was behind whole event, mention that he did take inspiration from protagonist of first game. As we do know from mainline SMT, Stephen who work on teleportation discovered expanding data cluster after the proces. Future research reveled that it contain cognitive data in form of dreamlike reality. He start exploring this "Expanse" using volunteers from occult, until one day teleportation accident summon the demon into real world. He was crimpled and his higher ups attempted to usurp technology for malicious reasons. As such he destroy the data and hide himself in Expanse, leaking program what could activate system remotely. Corporation owning system attempt to take control with security AI, but it was destroyed by random teenagers transposing Expanse (post-apocalyptic Tokyo). Same happen also when alternative copies of Expanse were created (SMTIII, DDS). After incident where whole school was teleported into expanse, company SEBEC start researching Demon Summoning Program and create own version known as Deva System, what later was developed by Nanjo (P2) and Kirio Groups (P3), alongside who ever is behind Junes (P4). From Persona V it is implied that Persona System could be reintegrated into main research.

Would probably be filled with a lot of tripping.

I love the psp soundtrack, but it did seem out of place at some places

@@kosmic100 To be fair I thought it was nice. They had most of the crew there to work on the remake. So the decision to change it was made by key members of the original team. I think the idea was to bring it more in line with the P3 and P4 soundtracks. In many ways it felt more natural to me.

@@kosmic100 We often see things out of place when we grew up with something different. I heard some people complain about the writing in the remake despite the fact that what we got was a butchered version of the Original game on PS1.
