Gamer Police and this isn’t even the last surprise

are you implying Persona isn’t a trilogy? Blasphemy

Here we go, FUSION SPELL! SOUTHERN CROSS!

@@fivesidedpixels4991 Funny that the original three games felt like a trilogy.

@Kahntrast yeah it’s super weird that they started with Persona 3 I don’t know those Tetsuya and Maya characters, probably from some old SMT game

fivesidedpixels what’s smt?

A bunch of stand users investigating a murder mystery? Clearly a JoJo reference.

Is that a jojo reference?!?!?

Persona 4 is a twin peaks ripoff lul

@@RxVolta Actually I would say Persona 1 is closer to twin peaks

@@FatedDestiny You can just use emulator, it's really easy to set up.

As the full read-happy nerd that I am, I don't need to AND I BOUGHT PERSONA Q!

@@FatedDestiny why FES? Portable is better.

@@Mojo1356 No, it isn’t. No free movement, no cutscenes, and it really breaks the immersion whenever you talk to people it awkwardly loads and shifts to a standard visual novel view. Not to mention you don’t get The Answer. FeMC route is interesting but that and the ability to control your party isn’t worth it, stick to FES. If it bothers you that much use the action replay code to control your party in FES

@2020ISCHAOS exactly,i mean if he played p4 he would get at least one critical hit in the game right?

@@mizzix i like to think he was just really unlucky

He says it frequently (if not always the first time you use the personq in battle) in JP voice

he was saying it was also in persona 5 not that they did it first

And he said it from a perspective of knowing Persona 5 before Persona 4, so if makes sense in the context of who said it.

Canadianbacon 384 thank you so much!

Then they accidentally make him pick the wrong card and lose an opportunity for a sweep bonus

Almost the same, first got P5R now playing P4G

@@TailsGuy72 Honestly, I have changed my mind, P4G has a better cast so i would say P4G is better than vanilla P5. I would put P5R and P4G pretty much on the same pedestal

@@beez2673 yo plz read all of this, i'm making a serious point. mm, base P5 has issues that i didn't notice. The translation's off, "Kamoshida was a scum". and alot of other stuff. I bought P4G on PC, and i've been playing through it, i like it more than base P5. P5R though, is better than both games, imo. P5R's just so beautiful to me. It improved my favorite game of all time, and the third semester is just legendary. Something's been on my mind though. People used to shit on P4, but now it's like a legendary game on the leagues of P3, (I really don't like P3. People suck on it's balls too much, it has serious issues. P4 and P5 are WAY better than P3.) I think this is because people have time to look back on P4 and realize it's beauty, and it's strong points. *Some* people also shit on P5 for no good reason, like "it's just kids who wanna gET bAcc at sOCIety, it's So fUccin laMe". I think, down the line, people will look at what this game REALLY did. For example, SPOILERS BY THE WAY When I was going though Mementos Depths, I thought about something, I thought that all of our main characters' Shadows were down there at one point. They were all apart of the masses, which all accept how things go, but, when they get their Personas they break free from Mementos Depths and have their own mindset. Makoto was a puppet of sorts, Haru couldn't do anything about her arranged marriage, Ann was the one that got me thinking, as she says to someone in the Depths that she had the same mentality as them (To just sit there and take everything shes hit with, because it's going to be easier). I also think that everyone that has a palace are just extremely distorted and are more powerful than those stuck in Mementos. Since the people stuck there can't do anything that's why the distorted people rule over them easily, like Shido, Kamoshida, Kaneshiro, y'know. I have no clue about Futaba though, she's special I guess. Hell, Sumire's being crapped on all the time because she's good at gymnastics and she gets *h o n o r* status. She even says in both awakenings she's gonna rise up. In the last awakening she says "I'm no longer the weak Sumire Yoshizawa". (Oh yeah, Sumire and Kasumi's kinda like Luigi and Mario, but Mario dies saving Luigi from some rando Hammer Bro or something.) This entire thing changed my standpoint on the entire game.

@@TailsGuy72 I do think P5R is objectively better and the third semester was truly the best chunk of P5 I have played, and Takuto Maruki is my favourite character in the whole Persona franchise. I also agree that P3 is the weakest game, it is annoying how people always shit on P5 but ignore all the issues that P3 has. Like P3 constantly shoves characters in like Jumpie and Ken

@@beez2673 Maruki's legendary. His palace thing's like if SMT and Persona kinda mixed, somewhat like P2. His story's heart wrenching and the palace's balls hard It's about time someone stops nostalgia pandering P3. Yukari's a real bitch. But, that's not a game issue, that's more like a personal opinion. P3's also DENSE, P2 had more things to do than P3, P4 had the excuse of being small, because it was a small town. I can't compare it to P5 because it's a PS2 game though.

Yess, same in here

Unfortunately, I cannot run it on Mac and Geforce Now block unsupport games, so I guess Shadow or Papercup Streaming service do their job

I wanna freaking play it, but I can't afford it

@@JhonnyStone100 yu does have a portrait for when he levels up

Both are good in their own way so hard to pick which game is better

Uh, hard disagree with P4G being a good adaptation. I found it to be a waste of time in all honesty. Vanilla 4’s adaptation was really good though.

@@Mojo1356 While I agree that P4G animation was a bit unnecessary, so we shouldn't count that, bro. But you gotta admit that P4 the Animation was a masterpiece. It's one of the Greatest anime adaptations ever bro!

@@nehh_aksat I wouldn’t go that far, but like I said before, vanilla 4’s adaptation is really good.

i haven't watched the golden anime but i did watch the adachi fight. I really liked that fight

Persona 4 the animation is one of the best video game anime adaptions ever made and it did everything right and perfectly. It's my favourite animé and is easily the best persona game. It had so much better than persona 3 and persona 5. Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Yes, I'm right! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho!

Aaron Dostal we love marie in this fandom

@@FalseProof I'm glad because it breaks my heart when I see her get so much hate

Admittedly, Strikers does more of what Royal did for P5 in the character bondings and executes the thematic story of P5 more effectively by not having to worry on constantly introducing new party members with each du dungeon nor suffer from MakotoFutabadoeseverything Syndrome of P5’s story where characters like Ann, Yusuke and Haru are overshadowed plotwise by Makoto and Futaba. Kamoshida Arc versus the rest of Vanilla 5’s Arcs feels weird when compared to them because of how Ryuji and Ann are depicted there compared to how they’re portrayed onwards outside of their Confidants along with the execution of the ruler’s sin and the ruler in question. Kamoshida Arc Ryuji acts more like a well-meaning dude but his emotions can make him act brash before rational thinking while Kamoshida Arc Ann seems similar to her later depictions but there seems to be more of a pronounced underlying sadness to her being so different from the other students. It’s as if the whole first palace was from a much darker and more developed draft where the ruler’s actions in the real world are depicted in a manner you’d find in a R-Rated movie or a script that’s less leaning on the anime tropes pre-Sega buyout and everything else was done up with the anime tropes after the buyout.

@@rayvenkman2087 the Kamoshida arc is the strongest in the game in vanilla because each party member has personal stakes in what they are doing. Morgana's is the weakest, only wanting the treasure, but Ann wants revenge for Shiho (and herself), Ryuji wants revenge/justice for himself and the track team, and Joker to not get kicked out and thus wind up in jail also didn't help Haru by giving her a terrible case of last/late character syndrome. Why is it that in vanilla P5 Haru doesn't spawn into the game until the Hawaii trip? Why would they not have worked her in earlier. It's so easy to do. The original hideout was on the roof and Haru grows veggies on the roof. Have her find them up there and tell Makoto, Makoto confronts them, they relocate. Start her confidant earlier or at least access her garden earlier so the veggies have better use. By the time the games puts them in you should have coffee and curry so the veggies aren't that helpful. Make them more than sp items. By having her in earlier they can comment on her at the fireworks since her inclusion in the scene is pointless since it's never brought up or discussed. Let the team bring her in to get through her fathers palace and she agrees but has a weak persona since she isn't honest about why she's rebelling. They train in Mementos and are like princess stay in the back you're weak we'll protect you. Morgana goes to take her home but they run into the fiance, the team comes to help. Haru tells them she is going against her father because she doesn't want to get married to that man. Go into the palace, her awakening happens as it does in game. That will allow the stupid Ryuji Morgana drama to be cut and Haru gets to be a better character. Royal added her in the scene when dealing with trash in the park which would have been good if she interacted with Joker, Ryuji, or Ann. Her interacting with Mishima is pointless. I'll never not be mad about how dirty they did Haru

@@LuminousArc92 Haru should have been introduced in the Kaneshiro Arc. Maybe even join the party there over Makoto or alongside her.

TLDR: IMO, the members of S.E.E.S and the Phantom Thieves wouldn't be friends were it not for the events of the story and the MC, but I think the Investigation Team would have still been friends regardless (minus a few outliers) Without further adieu, I present my TED Talk. I am sorry. In P3 it kind of makes sense for the members to have a colleague relationship, because that's essentially what they were, at least in my outsider perspective (I haven't played 3 yet, so take my words with a bucket of salt). They had a job to do, and there wasn't really a need to become friends beyond a surface level as long as they got that job done. Makoto/Kotone, on the other hand grew in power as they gained stronger bonds, thanks to the power of the Wild Card. So I imagine that their joining of S.E.E.S would have been the catalyst for the other members to actually start caring about each other on a deeper level. Had they not joined, the other members probably would have remained as is until The Fall. As for the Phantom Thieves it seems like a similar situation. These are people who likely would never have even spoken to one another, let alone become friends, were it not for their goal of changing hearts. Once again, Joker would be the catalyst, thanks to the Wild Card powers basically necessitating that he forges strong bonds. In P4, everyone is just a group of small town high school students at the end of the day. Compared to stopping the embodiment of death, or starting a rebellion against society itself, their small town murder case would be pretty minor. They're just the Scooby Gang comparatively. Which is exactly why it's so believable that they would actually be friends outside of their mission as the Investigation Team, sans a the outliers outliers (Teddie, Naoto, Rise, and maybe Kanji for various reasons). At the very least, the other four members would still be friends on some level. Maybe not as close, but still friends. They see each other every day, and most of them already have pre established relationships with one another. Once again, I'm sorry for going on a tangent. I just felt like adding my two cents to the conversation.

I hear you. When are they going to finally put it on the TI-86 as we've all been demanding?

@@lnsflare1 Can't believe they still haven't smh

@@lnsflare1 this!! There are a multitude of reasons why I think Portable is the definitive version of 3.

OG is better as an opening but the songs themselves are close imo

I'm curious cause I borrowed a friends vita to play P4 (prior to buying it on Steam). As someone who, like me, played Persona 5 first, what are your opinions on 4? I liked Persona 4 Golden far better then 5 (though Royal is a close tie solely due to Akechi and Maruki)

@@moonum4567 Oh, I haven't played 4 yet but it seems to be a very common opinion that 5 is nothing compared to 4. Like, I absolutely love 5 and all of the characters. It made me do a cry multiple times, so I'm hoping I can look past the PS2 era graphics and enjoy 4 even more so.

@@JustSheen nah, as someone that's played them all, P4G is just very heavily praised for finally getting the modern Persona formula right. I honestly think 5 is the better game. 5R though? Best of the series.

@@JustSheen nah.... 5 blows 4 out of the water, bro. In fact P3 is better than 4 but this is P4 fanboy video so it's crawling with them. That game (P4) has SO many problems regarding the story, pacing, social links, schedule and a lot more that are being overlooked... game is full of s. links that don't matter and fillery content.... It's just that its the first for many.

p5r shits on p4g. really dont see how ppl say 4 is better

@@JhonnyStone100 I prefer 5/5R aswell, but there are some things that 4/4G does better, the school trips, atmosphere and team dynamic for example. Overall I do think that 5/5R is better though, better gameplay and story.

Period! ... I'll see myself out.

Ah yes The Shin Megami Dating Dungeons

Yea the series went big since 3. And 3 still has the best story among 3-5

The thing about the Ghost Stories Dub is that it's less of a Dub and more of an abridged. The Original didn't do so well in Japan, so the studio in effect just handed it of for localization with a note that said ''we don't care about this do what you want''.

Hopefully P3 and P5R come to steam eventually
