he's not dead. Just... Just comatose. It was never stated he died... Only his soul left... There's still a way. I've played all version of P3 even the P3P Female MC one.... I refuse to believe MC's dead. Elizabeth's looking for a way.

@waaruno830 No....He's dead. You learn that in the answer. He kept himself alive by sheer will (He SHOULD have died casting great seal) just to keep that promise to meet up on graduation. HJT is right. He knew it was his last day, and he was struggling at that point. I love the way they added an option to close your eyes or fight to keep them open only to have it show you that time was up regardless. What alot of people also don't know, is that he STARTS the game with apathy syndrome. Not from Shadows, or the Dark Hour, but from trauma. He just doesnt care. Thats why you have such hillarious choices in the first half of the game to not give a shit (Note how you gradually see less and less of these) OR how he just goes along with whatever. People turning into coffins doesnt make him scared, or disoriented- He doesnt care because he is as apathetic as death itself, making them kindred spirits. The game has MANY layers. You'd be hard pressed to find any other as well written or as deep.

@seg he's dead bruh

@@bangunny As a doornail (or a door at least).

​@@MidnightBlackandVictoriafully agreed except that last bit. Every persona game has plenty of the deep layered writing that you speak so fondly of with P3. It's just a matter of caring enough to uncover them all. And I do mean ALL of them. All six games. From 1, to the 2 duology, to 3, to 5 (yes even 5 and I'm going to die on this hill) , they all have that much depth put into them. Some people just resonate more with one over another and that's ok, but to pretend 3 is some kind of outlier is just dishonest towards what the series has always stood for as a whole.

don't worry elizabeth will save him one day... COPIUM

Bro dont make me cry even more 😢

also the fact that his things are not in his seat from the original menu, but are in Yukari's seat

​@@atackplus-rediconnt8189 ngl it feels like yukari actually put it there by herself some time after the rooftop scene

@@HenriqueRJchikiEven if she saves him he will still remain dead but, atleast it aint a bad thing his soul will be able to rest in peace.

"If you love someone, let them know it." It's so simple you'd think it'd be common sense but *goddamn* that hit harder than I expected.

Well Cindy has also been in persona before. She’s both Labrys and Ken in the Arena games but yeah that performance was honestly insane. Gotta be one of the best vocal performances for essentially a no name background charactet

Cindy Robinson can cook. She had a great performance in Sonic Frontiers

Still can't believe Koromaru got the wild card after her passing

​@@ShadowOfMassDestruction i cant believe koromarus sister Kanji showed up to get rid of the abyss of time

Dude, Ken burned all the bread to kill Nyx.

Can’t believe Kenji became the messiah

Cant believe Igor found the true meaning of friendship

And the last piece of foreshadowing: all physical skills have a % HP cost, and spells almost always have an SP cost associated with them. Armageddon depletes HP and SP to 1 point each (but hey, it’s still something! Just Diarhan + Precious egg ya boi and he’ll be fine) Great Seal’s cost: 100% of MC’s max HP. Not 99%, not 99.99%, 100% Every single time. 97 hours of peak.

Pretty much the WHOLE of the Aeon S.Link hammers it home.

@@ayejaymanofficiali literally paused when i saw the hp cost. Such a good game

The fortune boss that spins the wheel and landing on death and “nothing happens” is also a good one

@@cherrytunic1171this one took me a second to figure out even though I beat FES

Well, I think you got that right. I finished the game yesterday without completing his Social Episode and didn't get that scene

@@JameiParodies Oh shit that practically confirms it then

it is from ryoji. you can check the VOD when before MC got the message, he see the music box on the bed which is given by ryoji

Yeah people originally questioned why the title screen was always so quiet and people even doubted Atlus because of it... Little did they know it was all leading up to the moment you return to the title screen for one last time... they made it so that the change hits you even harder. Whoever genius came up with this idea... Thank you.

Even though Tartarus aged like milk glad that people still enjoyed it.

@@NinjapowerMS Ultimately, anything will get stale after 240+ times of doing it.. I don't think there's really anyway that they could've "reinvented" Tartarus. Ultimately it served it's purpose and the RNG of the clock, the Monad doors and everything else, I think is memorable enough to at least remember fondly. Tartarus within the original was so stale it was abysmal. I'm glad at the bare minimum, it's ultimately more smooth to play through. Arguably out of all versions of Persona 3- granted we don't have the answer or Femc.. this is the DEFINITIVE version of the game.. the love and care put into this speaks volumes on how much they cared for the game. While granted- some changes in the voice cast were controversial to some (for some reason). Ultimately I think everybody did a wonderful job. I remember initially hating Kaggy as Akihiko when he first got announced, I think a LOT of the promotional teasers did NOT do him justice, trailers made him seem terrible and it was a shame because I genuinely love him as a voice actor. I think every performance he had was truly brilliant and he shocked me the most, Allegra Clark as Mitsuru was the best casting I've ever seen alongside Junpei's new voice actor, both phenomenal. Ken's newest voice actor as well was brilliant, one thing I didn't like was the scream when Shinjiro died ultimately pulled me out of the scene entirely, mixing that with Koromaru's randomly placed howls did slightly ruin the scene for me... Aigis newest VA blew me out of the water, truly a phenomenal talent same with Fuuka and Yukari. Not to mention Aleks Le as Makoto Yuki, Pharos and Ryoji, he was fantastic. (Apologies I just love talking about this game LMAO)

@@PlatinumDustVA There is but that would require full on remaking a good chunk of the game heck you could play around the fact that the Tartarus was once the ground zero for the experiments and add that into the blocks instead of getting documents lol. There's also three bosses barrage at the end of each block that really took out your mental health. I also disagree that it was stale in the original. Back in 2006? Nah no way. It simply aged like milk in 2024 and especially when Fatlus figured out the formula onwards with P4 and P5.

@@NinjapowerMS damn imagine not enjoying anything ever.

Same she IS best girl

Aigis is the best character in the persona franchise in my opinion

I love how you could see her become human. She is my favourite in all of fiction

I heard someone say that Aigis is the canon romance and it makes a lot of sense. Her and Makoto's journeys are nearly identical, Aigis just puts hers into words while Yuki let his actions speak for him.

If you can't push it.... Pull it! And if you can't pull it...... MEGIDOLAON!

Wait until Igor pulls out a Great White Shark.

Hell effin yes

It's crazy how just adding those scenes with Takaya instantly makes him a better character and makes his part in the narrative way stronger. It's wild that Takaya and Makoto basically never interacted before Reload lmao

As a greek mythology nerd and having played Hades, when I saw the name Thanatos, I was like “wait, I’ve heard that name before, where is it from?” And then piecing together the lore between the connection of Thanatos and Nyx, and reading his description of Hypnos being his brother after fusing my own Thanatos I was like “yo that’s so cool, I wonder if I could fuse Hypnos?” I got to the Takaya fight 3 hours ago, and he casted his Theugy and called out his Persona’s name for the first time: Hypnos. My mind was blown and my jaw dropped to the floor. THE THEMATIC PARALLELS ARE PEAK.

@@Zed_Said cutey🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

He the 🐐 tho love that guy

is he blind or a p3 fan returning?

Its the music man

I love the message too cause it's so innocent like: Hey guys just caught the stream what we doin :D

Nearly ruined the moment fr

It won't be released till next year at the earliest so its over for now and no he's not the strongest he was awarded with the universe arcana due to his sacrifice not because he's stronger.

​@@jackjohnson8305 dude, Makoto Yuuki can cast Armageddon and 1 hit Joker and Yu

@@Agravain-7 Thats just in gameplay, don't confuse it with real lore.

@@jackjohnson8305 that gameplay is the lore

@@Agravain-7 Game mechanics are not lore.

Now for 2 months

you mad somone watched the game in english grow up kid

@@gamerbeast3616 by SUB I meant the alert he got in the middle of the saddest cutscene when the person SUBSCRIBED

Shits why I almost can't stand watching playthroughs by mid to high traffic streamers, non-stop barrage of "lawlsorandom" alerts and constant need to pander for chat prevents ruins immersion for them, and I swear people time that shit.

With a pencil...with a fucking...pencil...

boy you're gonna love persona 4 golden and persona 5 royal. All 3 modern persona games are goated

Yea now wait til you go play innocent sin Also there's nothing wrong with upbeat endings. Eternal punishment ends on a very positive note with a very positive message and id argue it's still sadder than P3 as a whole nonetheless.

Yeah, the "Great Seal" move during the last phase of the Nyx fight taking all of his HP was meant to allude to that. There were some other signs, but that was the main one.

@@Tubular_dude_20y_ago Yeah now i just realized it, fuck, this game made me cry so hard. I use to think P5R was the best persona game but now after playing relod, this is officially #1 for me.

He kept himself alive to keep the promise they all made to meet each other again

@@PicaroAnimations Atlus learned a lesson after this game, don’t kill off your main protags die, or else you won’t be able to make spin off games 😂😂😂😂 sadly this is most likely true so we’ll never get a gritty p6 filled with death again

​@@mkloven101they actually did, technically two. P3 dancing in moonlight and pq and pq2 that was the crossover games. They just made it so they took place before his death

Errrmmmmm no that's just philemon
