Note that some of the voice clips for elements failing CAN still be heard legit, there are elemental weapons that give some characters access to elements they wouldn't normal use, e.g. there's an Ice Fist weapon and a Wind Spear. But no party member has access to ALL elements, so most of them are still unused. Also, some of the Persona cut-ins ARE used, for Fusion Spells. I feel dumb now. But any Persona that isn't part of a Fusion Spell has its cut-in portrait unused.

"DON'T TELL ME IT'S RESISTANT TO ALMIGHTY ATTACKS" Oh god, my cheeks just puckered a bit...

Boy, those 3 Tartarus lobby songs really are chilling . . .

Mysterious Boy (Pharos): Now just sign this contract and you'll be on with your life. *Minato, about to sign it but squints his eye* Minato: "But... this is a certificate of marriage..." Pharos: "Just sign it before I turn into a Greek God of Death."

The cut-in portraits are for Fusion Spells. So not all of them are unused. The Orpheus one is used in Cadenza.

Not gonna lie, unused burn my dread is actually dope.

Junpei: “Sorry but I can’t go home with you today” Yukari: “We didn’t ask you to” I wish they didn’t cut this lmfao 😭

Don't know if anyone has said it yet, but the first "unused" track is still used actually. It's during the dark hour cutscene with those sketchy people.

I love that spirit drain just bounces off Nyx. I can just see protagonist just staring at her like... really mitsuru?

I actually didn’t realise what the “don’t look up” line meant until I played Portable and heard Junpei’s line + Yukari’s extra dialogue toward the female character

13:57 when the teacher sees you looking on someone else's paper

One thing that wasn't mentioned: The unused version of Master of Tartarus also has a different sounding vocal section. To me though, it sounds atrocious and the final version's vocal section is better.

I wonder if when chidori's sketchbook has a "sketch" of junpei.if It's still the tarturus sketch

The alternative Orpheus art is used in the Fusion Spell. I think the 1st song was played on the cinematic where a guy gets turned into a Shadow. At least, partially.

7:11 this is used In one of the early game cutscenes when the clock strikes midnight with the random people listening to music

Wanna share that Koromaru has a unique bark when using a Healing skill, its kinda echo-y. Found a lot of stuff like this because I wanted to adjust the allie's skill sets. Also Metis, has a temp portrait when asking her to heal outside of battle.

Man Persona 3 was a huge favorite of mine and still is. I remember my level 99 protaganist and My persona (throne) whose stats I had maxed and I remember just playing through the portable version over and over. Thank you for the video, it was fun to listen to, and thanks for the time you put into this.

Hearing "Almighty attacks wont work" from Junpei while playing The Answer, I'm upset he never learned Megidoleon. Yet when I pop a magic mirror against Yukari and Mitsuru and they spam it every turn together. Props reaching Nyx just to test Mitsuru's voice clip of Almighty attacks.

They changed Ikutsuki's line for a third time! Know in Reload he explains the joke instead of apologizing for it.

'uses nocturne as a base' oh yeah they milked that engine to hell... Lol marriage contract with shinji. Oh yeah, wondered why that line was there on p3p.

O_o Did mitsuru just get MORE sp then she had when she drained herself!?!?!

9:57 When you said the track may sound like Kamoshida's Palace Theme, I thought, "oh it must just be a little coincidence, or something" but as soon as I heard it I was like, wait a second...

imagine Minato signs the certificate of marriage and Ryoji starts jokingly calling him his husband

“Next, you probably remember when you’re climbing the ladder to get into the train, Yukari says, *ad plays* New Budlight seltzer-“

I've always wondered why Persona Cerberus generally has only one head

I'm quite late, but I thought I'd mention that deleted scenes 1 and 2 actually appear in the manga. The one with Toriumi is practically the same (wording and all from the official translation I read, with a few changes of course) whereas Yukari's takes place after Junpei has joined the group and you've had a briefing on the Dark Hour etc; with Yukari talking about Toriumi going on with how 'its the most important time of the year' and how she made them herself. Whilst I don't think this was done on purpose and was merely a coincidence, it's quite funny to point out.

Quick note on the fanfare - It seems that the song also exists in persona 4. Perhaps it was a placeholder battle win theme that they had composed?

I really like Yukari's VA

Fun fact: In the movies the 1st one to be specific Akihiko will actually tell Makoto Yuki that Fire won't work

That other versión of burn my dread sounds cool

So you are telling me that the protag signed a certificate to marry Shinjiro as his wife? God damn it! Call the fandom, we need more fanfics.

junpei losing two girlfriends would be pretty excuse my language fucking insane

The unused dialogue about mitsuru's bike is used in the first movie. Also, it's interesting that there is so much cut content translated and dubbed in english since this is a japanese game.

I actually heard that "strange world" song from Raidou coming from another room in my home, thinking that my brother was replaying Persona 5 a few weeks ago. It does strikingly sound like Kamoshida's palace, especially when all I really heard from the other room was the 'bass'-y part of the song.

Nice cut in for Dante.

Unused Burn My Dread sounds like it'd belong in P3 dancing. I'd totally groove to that!

When Mitusuru says to continue looking for Fuuka, am I the only one who noticed that she referred to Fuuka on a first-name basis? She usually refers to the others by their last name. Also, Spirit Drain is technically not an attack. It's a skill, yes, but it doesn't do anything regarding the target's HP, merely stealing MP. I also don't think Mitusuru's "resistant to almighty" quote would trigger against an enemy that reflects attacks.

OMG THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD PLEASE MAKE UNUSED CONTENT VIDEOS FOR THE OTHER PERSONA GAMES

In psp ikutski says "sorry for the bad pun" just like in p3 original

Istg in Portable there’s a mini boss in Tarturus while not immune to almighty, can resist. I’ve heard Akihiko saying that line before when we did an all out attack .

The elemental voice lines actually work if you use items that deal those damage types (for example Yukari will say fire doesn’t work if she uses a fire item) although the physical attack types would still be unused since there’s no items for those.

7:05 this plays during the cutscene where the guy isnt transmogrified and Strega kills him

I always like your unused contents vids. Keep up the good work!

22:55 Oh hey, they added that line back in to Reload.

For the hermes/trismegestus mc/aigis voice lines Junpei's persona was originally the mc's persona so.... Yeah you can piece it out

the generic boys stance and hair spikey reminds me of akihiko

Thank you for making this

Doesn't infinity block almighty attacks too? Maybe the "???" boss in the answer could've used fusion spells at some point

The first unused song you showed sounds like it could belong in the bad part of town, where all of those delinquents hung out. I realized something interesting about the Loki personas in each game. Each one looks different from the last. P3 Loki looks like a normal human just with purple skin, P4 Loki looks more vampiric/bat like, and P5 Loki is covered in black and white stripes. Also Loki may have been changed to specialize in ice because Surt was already a fire focused Norse persona, and they did not want to repeat that with Loki despite him being more of a fire god originally. Funny now that Loki is more associated with ice nowadays due to MCU Loki. Speaking of MCU, I saw Infinity War last Friday! I really liked it, but man was it emotional. The people talking about it were right in the feels department. Maybe those comments were meant to be said to comment on other party member's attacks being non effective.

The deleted scenes from Ms Toryumi should stay in the game actually. It makes you feel like she cares for you as a teacher, and that's cool actually.

7:07 I swear this song plays in the back alley area that Shinjiro appears

That's a lot of voice clips for a game that was localized after launch

Watching this video after Reload is crazy bc what do you mean the station outskirts music was on the original PS2 disc but never used 7:08

Yo the Chidori sketch book one is bullshit, when I was playing it was EASILY visible and I remember finding it rather comedic because Junpei would be like “what are you drawing” and it was obviously Tartarus

The unused fanfare from p3 sounds a lot like 'Backtracking' from the DDS2 OST, moreso than DDS1's level up theme.

Seeing this much cut content, I wonder if they'll bring those back for the inevitable remake just like how some of the scrapped lines were brought back for Portable. Also, Junpei was in fact going to be a romance opinion in the female route in Persona 3 Portable and I'm pretty sure the reason the whole lovers route with Junpei was scrapped is because of Chidori and this one scene you can have happen which was in FES is carried over to Portable and they want to maintain that whole side story in the game, even in the female route. And I get the feeling that even if the lovers route with Junpei did remain in the final game, it would've been awkward, weird and even out of character for him to ditch Chidori in favor of FeMC. Sure, we did see this sorta thing before in Persona 4 with Naoto and Kanji, but the lovers route with Naoto was fully planned to be in the game already along with the thing with Naoto and Kanji being heavily implied throughout the whole game, both opinions for how the player wants to go with this was fully planned at the orignal game to begun with. Here, the whole thing with Junpei and Chidori was already fully planned, established and many players have already accepted it all in the orignal P3 and FES when you only had the male protagonist to play as, what P4 did with Naoto wouldn't really work at all with Junpei at this point in Portable. Also, Mitsuru's cut line from before the November full moon operation is another one of the lines that was added back into Persona 3 Portable. Also, weird thing is that line from Ikutsuki, even though they changed it for FES, they actually added the orignal line back into Portable, which is weird since I'm sure the reason why the orignal line was changed for FES is what you theorized.

So a thought crossed my mind, what if they used the unused versions of Voice That Someone Calls when going up to kick Avatar of Nyx’s teeth in? Like… go from V3 when you’re actually in the lobby, V2 for when you get into Tartarus, and V1 for when you’re like… 4 or less floors away from the final fight? I personally think it would have put more tension in the atmosphere, that droning sound combined with the bass-y sounds give off a feeling of emptiness and dread. (Which would be fitting for such an important fight). I also actually used V2 of Voice That Someone Calls in a silly meme video I made, mostly because I watched your very informative video. Thanks!

“This arcana’s fortune but this won’t be won by luck’ Me:AYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

Mitsuru shall execute ALL those who cheat. Thankfully I never cheated in anything ever! Noooooope!... never!

This video is 6 years old. Kinda hard to belive.

Finally done! Good game. Can't wait to see more.

Now that the Answer and FES in general is over... LET'S GIVE A BIG THANK YOU! Thanks Klingy Also the videos from The Journey are going to be my go-to source for when I do my project in writing class (We take something that already has a story and write it in a different character's point of view) So now with the videos as reference I can write the best Aigis/Journey script! So um, thanks again

The Cerberus is basically Pokémon's Bad egg they have a similar purpose.

i love seeing mitsuru drain her own SP

That first unused one was fire.

I remember playing through persona 3, and I don't know if it was a thing with the wide-screen mod I was using, but at one point I was actually able to see Chidori's sketchbook and I saw Tartarus, I just assumed it was part of the game

7:09 is used in an animated cutscene on the radio showing a man turn into a shadow. Theres a hist talking over it but it's there

Seriously, Junpei's VA reminds me a lot to Quinton Flynn (Axel/Lea from KH & Raiden from MGS)

The voice clips of the attacks failing maybe it’s for the Magic Gems that perform attacks, And all of SEES being able to say it, it’s for a situation like Mitsuru (Ice) used a Zionga Gem and its repelled The almighty voice lines are maybe for the gems that perform attacks like Megidola

thanks for the vid i love p3

1:05 Would it be possible with a model edit though? Rather than actually just implementing the actual full files? Idk, I know nothing about this stuff. 3:39 "Featuring Dante from the DMC series". Thought you could sneak it past me, eh. 6:46 Interesting. Pretty nice looking drawing too. 10:26 Jesus Christ, these would've been freaky as heck had they actually made it. Imagine a Persona horror game with this stuff, lol. 12:22 Catchy af!

17:50 i feel like you HAVE to use damage dealing almighty attacks

10:45 Wish they had gone with this. The Persona games are supposed to be unsettling, as far as I can tell.

Just gonna and a little fun fact here: The concept art for generic girl and boy can be seen used as a add on the monorail operation

The Pharos scene might also sound incomplete due to translation mistakes But yeah, I suppose there wasn't that big of a point in a cutting those lines

Early burn my dread sounds like it had want to be close thrown in

Persona 3 still the best persona to me. Something about the dark colors and mood(suicide to bring forth persona). They got progressively more vibrant as time went on (still dark tho)

I feel like i've seen the third deleted scene before. i might have to play P3P again to see if it's there

10:05 while we're at p5 music sound alikes, the pre-yaldabaoth battle music, confrontation (disc 3, track 26 on the ost) sounds like nocturne's reason battle.

Oh that unsued song was recently re-used for persona 3 reloaded for the port island side section.

Now that we know that life will change

7:07 this is used in a cutscene ingame so you are right

There were actually in-game cutscenes that were in progress, but were cut and left unfinished in the game's files. One of them I feel should've been in the final game is a scene where Ms. Toriumi introduces her class to the protagonist. This scene most likely would've taken place after the Welcoming Ceremony part on our first day at Gekkoukan. The cutscene is left completely in Japanese and I don't know Japanese, so this is just me guessing what happens in the scene based on the character portraits being used, the text boxes and what's going on in the scene itself. My guess is what happens in the scene is while Ms. Toriumi is introducing the class to the protagonist, Yukari gets suprised to see him being in the same class as her, Toriumi asks if she has a problem with it and Yukari is like 'Uh, no, just suprised'. And the other classmates would started the gossip about Yukari being in love with him. And most likely, this is how the protagonist would've catch Junpei's interest in wanting to talk to him, which he does after school. I always find it weird that in the final game, we just cut straight from the Welcoming Ceremony to after school where Junpei goes up to us. It's the big gap between that always bothers me because we never get actual context for the after school part on our first day, it just happens without any explanation. Yes, Portable kinda fixes this by the bit where we can check which class we're in on the bulletin board where on top of finding our name in Class 2-F, we also see Yukari's name in the same class, which that wasn't in the orignal game or FES, but that still doesn't explain why Junpei wants to check us out on our first day after school. The other reason why the scene should've been in the final game is that I always find it weird that in terms of class introduction scenes, the protagonist is the only one who gets left out of having one while Aigis and Ryoji each get one. It's always weird. In Persona 4 and 5, they would make sure to include a class introduction scene with the protagonist, but not Persona 3? My guess is they wanted the beginning of the game to be short and quick to get out of the way and get straight to the game and they felt that the class introduction scene with the protagonist was pointless and would drag the game's beginning to becoming longer, much like the other parts of the beginning being cut, especially since I'm pretty sure Ms. Toriumi would've mentioned the death of his parents to the class in the scene, which she already brought that up when he meets her at the Faculty Office and in the many school Social Links, she would tell them about it, but I still feel that the beginning is just missing without the class intro of the protagonist scene. I don't care if it would make the beginning longer, I just wanted it in the game, and they didn't even bring it back for Portable either. Hopefully for the inevitable remake, they'll actually bring this lost cutscene in the game.

7:07 wow that's some persona 5 vibe right there.

Regarding Hypnos, Moros and Medea, you can use them technically but they don't have any base stats or moves which may be why they crash the game, unless you specify their stats and moves with further codes. Doing that worked for me, although I have my doubts they'll work well in the Velvet Room...

9:02 tbh i think the level-up theme that was unused for Persona 3 sounds more similar to DDS2's level up theme which has that same type of music vibe that the unused P3 track has.

I kinda wish they left in protagonists being able to use the normal smt versions of party member personas. It would’ve been pretty cool.

That first song is used in the cutscene that shows the random guy witnessing the dark hour( EDIT: i now see someone noted this already my bad)

That yukari line was prob also removed because she doesn’t like guys that act that way, like junpei...

persona 3 needs more love

That’s so cool !

Junpei is still a man of culture

Thats really interesting that mitsuru's spirit drain when reflected pretty much absorbs the sp back into her meter

There is also an unused healing machine in Persona 3 too.

I realized something, Nocturne is the only SMT game to have a subtitle related to music. I find that interesting, imagine if, rather than name by numbering for the games, they had extra titles relating to music. For example (Naming persona games 3 and onward in order) Persona: Alternative, Pesona: New wave, Persona: Pop (Q), and Persona: Progressive. Honestly, due to my love of music, I would have liked to see stuff like what nocturne did more often. Though my idea may not be the best. I just like it on paper.

Also the first unused music track can actually be heard briefly in an early FMV, specifically the one where a random guy loses it during the Dark Hour

The Burn my Dread beta sounds a lot like the original.. the music sounds like it’s singing the lyrics of the final version.

I think the song played in 7:33 is a early version of the song played in the hotel dungeon

mitsuru loves my left ear apparently

the placeholder portraits character was the main character in a prototype of the game that was more like persona 2
