Real talk I never get tired of listening to your Bios. You manage to explain everything the player needs/would want to know about the Persona concisely while also sprinkling in some trivia. I love it.
Agreed, these are really the only game guides I will listen to when I’m not even playing the game, or haven’t for months. I listen to this while running errands, in the shower, going to sleep, etc. I find them oddly relaxing lol
I would actually watch a video with a profile of every single persona, and it could be interesting evaluating yhem considering the time you might get them.
God I would kill for a video full of someone just explaining the mythological context of *every* Persona, it scratches a particular area of my brain I ddn't know I had. Keep up the good work man, your Bios are really good!
I love how the ultimate personas are put into 4 classes: personas that can have busted builds, outclassed by Lucifer, Lucifer the game breaker, and Satanael the cheat code
I wouldn't even call Lucifer a Game Breaker, since you need to be in the 90's to fuse him and by that point you're already strong enough to break most of the story.
I have no idea why I keep watching these videos - I’ve beaten Persona 4/5 Golden/Royal a ton of times as well as 100%ing both but something about your videos are just so addicting!! Keep up the good work :)
252+ SpA Choice Specs Beads of Ruin Tera Fire Chi-Yu Overheat vs 252 HP / 252 SpD Groudon-Primal in Harsh Sunshine: 406-478 (100.8-118.3%) guaranteed OHKO
it’s so funny to me that being able to use Thermopylae at any time makes an ultimate persona so great but then female Orpheus walked up and was like what if I got it really earlygame, for 6 less SP, and also healed 50% max hp (or more if morgana is present) like girl calm down we get it😭😭
I love that bless and curse got attacks that deal damage in p5 but i kinda wish they went all in on that because the lack of a severe damage skill of both elements makes belzebub and metatron and other high tier personas associated with those elements feel rather flacid, divine judgement and demonic decree are infinitely less useful than something like blazing hell
I personally prefer how they work in SMTV, where they basically combined Hama/Mudo with Kouha/Eiha. Hama and Mudo there are normal damaging skills, with a chance of instant death on enemies weak to them.
Overall I will say persona 5 had a good line up of ultimate personas. I said it again, I hope we get Doi demons desgin for persona 6 and even reload. Also I think Zues should the ultimate persona for emperor as Odin has already been emperor for 3 games. I will say yoshstuine should be the ultimate persona of tower given how powerful he is. But Shiva does fit the tower symbolism more.
There's some really cool ones but yeah, I'd like to see Zeus in the future. Along with Odin FINALLY having his 4A design in Persona. (Heck, I wonder if Odin will use that design in P3Re?) I'm really surprised Yoshitsune hasn't been "promoted" yet.
I might do one for P3 someday, but my quality back then was a lot worse, and it'd be outdated for the remake. I'm considering doing bios for the remake even if I don't do a full playthrough.
What's funny is that Chi You, who is in the Chariot arcana, should have been in the Magician arcana due to him being a good magic attacker despite Chariot personas are specialise in physical attacks. Both Futsunushi and Chi You should have swap place instead.
You don't even need these to do that for the most part. Though Vitality of the Tree is the easiest way to do it. Someone did a challenge run of P5 with just Jack Bros, which I need to check out some time.
25:32 Did a little digging myself. The reason you had little luck finding any info was because you were searching in katakana instead of kanji as megami tensei games tend to use katakana for all demon names even if they are chinese/japanese. For reference, Ongyo-ki's name in kanji is "隠形鬼"
Speaking as catholic, Seeing Mother Mary as the ultimate persona was quite surprising. Also here a funny story went playing smt 5. I choose the law route and one of the last sidequest was facing a boss that an mother spirit. If you chose law it was Maria. You wouldn't believe how cursed was for me. Even when Maria was going it okay to face, it feel really wrong. Also here something other stuff about maria. Like Odin, she has alot of name and titles. the famous being The Madonna, Queen of heaven, Mother Mary, Theotokos(translate "to bearer of god") for orthodox Christianity, Immaculate Conception, Our Lady of Guadalupe(Mexico Catholicism) and bunch of ther titles that literally fits a wikipedia page. Another famous thing with Maria is the Rosary in which if the prayer goes: "Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope, to thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears; turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ."
I believe the gimmick for the Maria fight in V is she keeps healing herself to full every turn. At that point though my Demons were so strong I barely remember what I did, I just remember it was easy. SMT's portrayal of Mary/Marie has always been a little weird to me, since they conflate her with "mother goddesses" of other religions like Danu and Inanna.
@@BigKlingy I mean to be fair in sone countries where Christianity was banned, some Mother Mary statues were concealed under the guise of Kanon (known by the Persona fandom as Kanzeon). I think putting her among other Mother goddesses (despite her not being considered one by the Church) makes sense, if not a bit strangr
I think I know atlus reason why he the max of the magician persona which is morgana is becasue you need him to fuse for yoshitune the best physical attacker in the game with Hassou Tobi. SO this si the reason why they did this so you couldnt make one of the OP personas any earlier than near end of the main game.
You can look it up for more info, but it's one of only two animals that talk in the Torah, and there's debate whether it's just an actual snake, a metaphor for temptation, or a servant of the devil. It being Satan is specifically a Christian thing that evolved out of earlier interpretations.
Everything is cool but please don't pretend to be a religious scholar and suddenly off handedly know more than everyone else that's cringe. Like the hand wave of the eden serpent is silly and is just a thing to toss in to sound edgy and cool when not backed by anything that isn't as much an interpretation as any other

It feels great to hear KH music in your bios.
Real talk I never get tired of listening to your Bios. You manage to explain everything the player needs/would want to know about the Persona concisely while also sprinkling in some trivia. I love it.
This is why I like TH-cam channels like this
It felt good to revisit all of these too, showed me how much I love making Persona series.
Agreed, these are really the only game guides I will listen to when I’m not even playing the game, or haven’t for months. I listen to this while running errands, in the shower, going to sleep, etc. I find them oddly relaxing lol

That'd take a while, but it'd be cool. Tony4you has individual videos on some Demons/Personas from Megaten.
Also Strain42 has a series where he covers various demons/personas.
If that's helpful at all
The outclassed by Lucifer gang and others
They went to the trouble of making all these Traits, then said "but what if one Persona got them all at once?"
@@BigKlingy At least it's Lucifer who got it and not some random high level Persona
@@DiegoG2004 True. And Lucifer sucked in vanilla P5 so he needed an upgrage.
Maria, Ishtar, Mada, Odin, Satan, Vishnu, Asura, Beelzebub, Metatron, and Chi-You are all malding
@@SomeAsian funny thing is you will have access to lucifer before you have access to chi-you
50:17 "As the ultimate Star persona position has been taken over by the hidden aspect of the Adamant Rail himself," HADES FAN SPOTTED
Wealth of Lotus is very underrated, considering that you know have the potential for 5 turn heat riser on battle start

I wouldn't even call Lucifer a Game Breaker, since you need to be in the 90's to fuse him and by that point you're already strong enough to break most of the story.
@@BigKlingyOr pay the price of a house out to the twins to have it accessed earlier.

Its only downside is you probably won't have enough SP to cast it if you summon her early in the game.
I have seen this video four time now, and now realize you forgot about ghastly wail being an instant kill skill and I don't blame you.
I love that bless and curse got attacks that deal damage in p5 but i kinda wish they went all in on that because the lack of a severe damage skill of both elements makes belzebub and metatron and other high tier personas associated with those elements feel rather flacid, divine judgement and demonic decree are infinitely less useful than something like blazing hell

I‘m pissed, because this video was way too short 😡
Me and Akihiko have something common: I’ve been waiting for this!
The strongest (well, maybe not in some cases) Personas of every Arcana arise!
-Now make Yoshitsune an Ultimate Persona already you cowards-
Alice got promoted, why not him??
Overall I will say persona 5 had a good line up of ultimate personas.
I said it again, I hope we get Doi demons desgin for persona 6 and even reload. Also I think Zues should the ultimate persona for emperor as Odin has already been emperor for 3 games.

honestly this gives me chuggaaconroy pokemon playthru vibes. i fuckin love this, you do some damn good work.
Glad people appreciate this. These all come from a full in-depth playthrough I did of P5, so you can check out the playlist if you're interested.
Hopefully it doesn't give those vibes any more...
I love your bio videos. First found you w/ fire emblem awakening bios
These persona bios are so much fun to listen to and all that!
Also a small question!
Is it possible to have this type of video on persona 3?
I might do one for P3 someday, but my quality back then was a lot worse, and it'd be outdated for the remake. I'm considering doing bios for the remake even if I don't do a full playthrough.
I brought my recently finished Maruki cosplay to a convention! Got to meet Abby Trott and Tara Platt too, pretty fun con.
I'd love to see that. And I'm jealous of you meeting those two. (Well actually, I've already met Tara Platt, a LONG time ago.)
57:32 is all you need for Asura. No need to add the extra :49.
i would replace him with the Japanese sun goddess
The Ultimate Magicien being physically unable to learn magic is funny.
Futsunushi was ultimate Chariot in P4, which makes far more sense.
What's funny is that Chi You, who is in the Chariot arcana, should have been in the Magician arcana due to him being a good magic attacker despite Chariot personas are specialise in physical attacks.
Both Futsunushi and Chi You should have swap place instead.
Ah.. Takes back memories after P5 Royal.. Now this about the Bios of those Ultimate Personas from certain Confidants..
All this time and I thought SMT's Alice was some dark version of Alice from Alice in Wonderland.
Cant wait dor the Re:load version of this
Yeah I'll probably do one like that for Reload, I don't want to rush though.
Now how exactly DO you wish to yeet P5's difficulty into the sun?
You don't even need these to do that for the most part. Though Vitality of the Tree is the easiest way to do it.
Someone did a challenge run of P5 with just Jack Bros, which I need to check out some time.
25:32 Did a little digging myself. The reason you had little luck finding any info was because you were searching in katakana instead of kanji as megami tensei games tend to use katakana for all demon names even if they are chinese/japanese. For reference, Ongyo-ki's name in kanji is "隠形鬼"
This has been coming.
Can't wait for engage when you get back.
Also Pikmin 4 is amazing.
Speaking of Engage, I have a special reference to make when that time comes.
I looked up stuff on Pikmin 4 and... I'm glad the culmination of a multi-game character arc happened.
Brahma playing in the background insta like.
I think I accidentally used it for two of these. Oh well, still a good song.
4:27
I've been wondering why thats been happening whenever i start a battle with Yoshitsune equip.
I didn't know about this until I found a blog post going into all the Traits in-depth.
I'd like to see a ranking of the Ultimate personas

Maybe in persona 6 Mara could be a ultimate persona
Interesting. So, I guess that Trails Of Cold Steel will be next. I don't get why you didn't finish your The Great Ace Attorney Playthrough, though.
Is there a video that explains how to accomplish that double stats from gear exploit?
@@shade5640 You just equip them. That's all.
@@BigKlingy So it's like a calculation error?
I think so. Any equipment stat boosts are always applied twice. The stat cap is still 99 though.
Ok but wait, so who actually was the serpent in the garden of eden if it wasn't satan?

Can someone explain to me why Maria has a friking T-rex on her side.
