I wish there was more Mitsuo yaoi, he's weird and I kind of like that

​@@BBWahoo:/

@@BBWahoo based as fuck

I put a bunch of em up there, who knows who it could be?? The small man in the top right background? Probably

Nanako is more powerful than Darth JarJar but less powerful than Ramen guy, Sage of the six bowls from Naruto.

"Did you think Adachi worked alone, Big Bro?"

@@xxProjectJxx "Why do you think he knows your every move, big bro?"

'Did you even know how many days I had to mind the house while you went off to catch bugs you never ended up using? Do you know what that did to me, Big Bro? It gave me time to plan. Time to invite Mr Adachi to afternoon tea. We had some great vegetables and he'd take me to Junes to gather supplies!'

I’m so grateful that I played this unspoiled because that moment when the game just asks you who the killer is and gives you a big list of every character in the game is one of the best reveals ever. Usually in mystery games, there’s this big new discovery that makes the killer obvious, but here it just repeats the loose facts you already know and asks you to think about it

i wish that could’ve been my experience but persona fans are assholes that don’t even remotely try to hide spoilers. i got spoiled on (spoilers ahead warning because i’m not a dickhead) adachi being the killer, akechi being the killer, ikutsuki betraying SEES, and makoto dying at the end of p3 all before i ever played their respective games because these people never shut up about it compare that to the ultra chad xenoblade 1 fans that have been keeping the identity of the seventh party member a secret for more than a decade now by calling them “Seven” instead of by their actual name bc that character joining you is a spoiler in itself

​@@yourehereforthatarentyou Ironically the least impactful spoiler here is P3 protagonist dying

I remember being overwhelmed at that list, and eventually picking Adachi because it felt the most “interesting” to me if true. But my head was still spinning by the volume of information and I thought the odds still felt so low overall. But when the investigation took off and we revealed it was him, it was unreal. My first choice being correct immortalized the moment. I even had an amusing hypothetical where I imagined that the game would just make whoever you picked the culprit. Of course I knew it couldn’t really be, but it was a hilarious thought.

​@@kauanjos3199that guy tries to carefully hide spoilers for newcomers, just for you to reply to him with spoiler lmao

I agree! I had his identity spoiled for me because I really, REALLY liked his character and wanted to look at his sprites online, then saw a Google search for Adachi Tohru killer 🥲 but despite knowing who the culprit was, I was so invested in WHY he did what he did and how Namatame factored into all of it, as well with Mitsuo. I was extremely impressed with the story telling

I already knew it was Adachi because social media spoiled it for me but I had my doubts it was him because of how goofy he is. I was awe struck when I beat the game (technically haven’t beat it but still in January)

This comment is longer than my life expectancy?

Holy carp this is the exact same thing that happened to me

Well that may be the case

​@@HidinginPrivateWho else would kill RPG characters besides the guy who hates RPGs?

Keisuke Hiiraga was the one behind it all

Namatame is an interesting goose

@@HidinginPrivate when i got the bad ending on my first playthrough, i felt so genuinely cheated by the game.

@@illuminoeye_gaming did you throw namatame into tv or failed to convince yosuke not to throw him in?

@@rophi7284 failed to convince 😔

@@illuminoeye_gaming Worst “decision” in the game tbh

I know, I thought that while the investigation team chased after the stalker that Adachi stayed behind just long enough to toss Rise in the tv! I thought Namatame was 100% innocent. I had seen and talked to him around town and was like “ah, character portrait! How do I start your social link!” Completely blind sided to his semi-accomplice status

Fred: Red:

It was a great episode! Next week will be even better!

I'm not sure. In some ways he absolutely was that kind of teacher everyone thought of him as. He was prejudiced against the MC (and really anyone from a bigger city) from the start, said a lot of things that were at best tone deaf considering people actually died across events for this game, turned a one time school trip into an educational seminar, and was a hypocrite that would talk trash about people paying attention to idols...while buying a Rise pin-up book. There's no question that he was serious about being a teacher. That he did go out of his way to steer people down a better road. He did try to help a fair number of people and I'm sure in his own way was trying to be a good teacher. There are good things to piece out if you really dig for them in the game. He wasn't an evil person. But he wasn't a great person and whether he was a great teacher is debatable. That his consideration ended depending on what a person's birth certificate came from reflected that. You have to dig to find the good about King Moron because none of that shows from the perspective of the main character. Being hard on him or Yosuke purely because of where they came. You can say he was trying to protect the local kids from the poison of the "big bad city" but all he was doing was leaving them grossly unprepared for interacting with that part of the world. In one moment he was looking out for a girl who was out late by herself. And the next he's calling the MC to wander the streets at night to get something that he could just hand over to said student the next day at school. I honestly think the reason he turned that school trip into a series of lectures and factory tours was to keep the students from being tainted by the city. I won't say his intentions were bad. Prejudice can very much be a learned thing. It's just a poor showing that he was potentially spreading that prejudice to his students through his position as a teacher.

@@Flaris your entirely right in all of this I always thought that he was one of teh really older teachers he seems like he was born in the 50s and well Japanese history can make sense of his distrust if he grew up during those years. Mass crime growth the wealth gap etc that was happening mainly in big cities …but that’s jus my nonsensical speculation

​@@rokkfel4999the f

If I may ask how did p4 make you re-evaluate your view on relationships and self improvement?

I'm glad you liked this segment! Yeah I feel you're probably not alone in the Mitsuo stuff. I've seen a lot of people throw around that void quest was a "filler dungeon" over the years and I myself didn't quite get it's importance at first. This interpretation of his dungeon I feel like really makes sense with the narrative and themes of the game though and I think can really resonate if people let them

Coolio glad you like it!

Yeah, I think while persona simulates a very pleasant fantasy scenario, the fact that p4 thoughtfully acknowledges and provides commentary of this very part inherent to the story existing in videogame format is nice and offers reflection.

Glad to become a part of your weekly schedule! I'll try to keep up with the consistency- although these segments will be getting longer as we go on

@@HidinginPrivate Longer the better, I'll save it for when I get home then.

Thank you! I will!

Thank you! Sometimes I wish I could drop the parts more often bc I get so happy seeing people's reactions

I was working 24/7 on this series for 4 months before the first part dropped. I still have a lot of work to do but if I need to take a weekend off I can do it. I have the next 3 months of segments finished at this point. Just 8 more to finalize at this point! Thanks I hope I can continue to have your support 🙏

Thanks! I'll keep em coming

Thanks I'll try!

Hope you like them! Thanks hope I get more haha

I'm glad you're enjoying and hoo boy yes this certainly is a mega project.

I'll try! Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! I try to make a atleast a cpuple fun edits per video

Thanks!

I'm glad!

I very much enjoy how they engaged with the suspects in ways that were unique each time while adding to the overall themes and narrative. I also love Naoto!

@@HidinginPrivate Looking forward to when the parts about the Investigation Team release!

Thanks for engaging!

Thank you

It'll all come down to how viable this is by the time the p4g series concludes

@@HidinginPrivate ah i see. thanks for the reply!!

Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah I think people talk about persona as wish fulfillment without bringing up how the game directly comments on it a lot

Sheeeeepeeeeppp

Good songs fit good places

You want him to speedrun videogames on twitch?

@@HidinginPrivate IDK, maybe, I want him to have this rivalry with Futaba over the whole thing. I think developinkg some kind of dynamic with somebody would be good for his mental health. IDK lol. Thinking of a homestuck au with him, Maki, Futaba, and Jun as the players. Calling it THE LONELIEST KIDS IN THE WORLD.

His new favorite game is pizza tower

Thank you!! I'll try to keep making things you engage with!

​@@HidinginPrivate After watching your video i think that wife of Namatame was also a posible suspect at start, when i was playing persona 4 i thought that she could kill tv reporter becouse of her jealousy and fact that we didn't see her much just her posters make it more misterius.

Fair enough, but it can still be enjoyable.

All I say is how many dungeons are in persona 5. Like the number of dungeons. I don't even go into what they are, how they play into the story. I could have cited persona 3 as an example as well since it does something similar. Is that spoiling persona 3? This seems like a really strange standard to consider a spoiler imo. The videos of this series will not mention persona 5 other than this one, and a bit about Futaba's social link at the beginning of the Naoki video. I don't think it pops up anywhere else

It sure is a glomp

AAAHHHHHHHH

Yuki I miss youuu!!!

Hahaha yeah I do actually. It's the "Living world" video. One of the upcoming vids in the community post. I don't go super specific Into those exact ones, other than mentioning the old man but I do have a similar segment to what you're talking about already put together and ready!

Ah yeah- is that because of the cop/detective angle? Adachi/Akechi being similar in name? I also played p5 first but am pretty good at avoiding spoilers and shutting off my brain so I was able to enjoy mostly unspoiled

@@HidinginPrivate definitely the similarity in and the cop/ detective thing. Personality wise Adachi was harder to figure out. Akechi always seemed suspicious to me.

When I first played P5 I though that Akechi was so sketchy and obvious that there was no way that he could be anything other than a red herring. I felt like an idiot afterwards lol.

Yeah, from Adachi’s perspective all of them are dumbass highschoolers with no perspective, and he’s the only one who actually knows what he’s talking about. He was offended by the very idea that Mitsuo’s crime was mistaken for his

Can't wait to drop the Adachi video

@@HidinginPrivate Vine boom

@@HidinginPrivate :adachi_true:

Honestly the main fault I have with the mystery is that adachi has to write a warning letter for no reason so the player can figure it out

Not currently in the plans but not against it. This project is just covering Persona 4/G

He doesn't like 3D dot game heroes?

@@HidinginPrivate well idk actually, I was thinking of persona when I said that

One suspect among us is sus

Nanako did it

I just want to say please edit or reply to your comment when you beat the game I want to learn how you feel about he killer

@@doobzsalam1847 I really like the killer but his motive behind killing everyone was a bit lacklustre for me at first but the more I think about it the more I understand him. overall I think he might be one of my favourite characters in the game.

Glad it got someone atleast. I think people have a hard time putting themselves in the shoes of the investigation team bc lots of people have already been spoiled on p4g before they play these days

"Atlus published"

Yeah, it's more likely 3D Dot Game Heroes took inspiration from the P4 boss battle than the other way around. Considering that game was developed in about 10 months and Persona 4 was released about 13 months before 3D Dot Game Heroes. Seems like a straight forward mistake for the video.
