Based on the streams of many others who I saw first played this game I think a lot of newcomers are actually coming through in the year 2024 for example I'm totalling you to monster hunter in the year 2024 due to Monster Hunter world and well you know I think 2024 is going to be a huge year for people discovering games that were either already established or just people giving it a try so 2024 is going to be that transition year
So wonderful watching new players experiencing one of the greatest games of all time. And I literally shot coffee out my nose when you mistook Junpei for the janitor XD
I FEEL SO BAD ALSJAKJAKA WHY DOES HE LOOK SO GROWN LOL But I’m glad youve been enjoying others experience this game for the first time! I didn’t think it’d be this addicting 😭
One of the greatest games of all time? Ha ha, are you high? Or just stupid? Look, I love this game too. But this is not GOAT status at all. It's just a really good game, kid. This is not even close to GOAT status.
Persona is a franchise you can get really sucked into, given you have the patience cause these games be long af haha. Hope you continue to see this through!
I wish I could just sit and play this all day tbh but Id wear myself out recording and sitting in front of a camera trying to talk LMAO it's such a good game. I'm very excited to complete it~
Poor Junpei, lmao. Though I had a little goatee starting sophomore year of highschool too. It was the early 00s, that was cool back then. The game takes place in 2009, so, Junpei is not outta fashion exactly
Typical Persona MC being unfazed at whatever supernatural shenanigans they've stumbled into XD Glad to have a newcomer aboard the train, welcome to the Velvet Room
These are the playthoughs I've been wanting to see (new players). Hope you enjoy it, and I'll be looking forward to your reactions to the crazy plot twists!
It’s always fun watching someone find their first persona game. I still remember finishing mine in 2012, which was Persona 3 FES. Strap in for a fun ride with absolutely no long term trauma that could be potentially triggered with something as simple as a few piano notes 😃. Also, legit, for test answers, they’re all online. Seeing as there are tons of answers that are straight guesses, I have no shame in using them, especially considering how it affects how fast your academics levels up. Just a heads up!
Thank you for the warm welcome and the helpful tip! I ended up finally using the network function and yeah it def just helped me move along through the questions~
I'm new to persona too but man when I heard Junpei's VA i was like Ik that bitch from somewhere & it's Nino from Miraculous 😂 nah I love this series now
So happy to see more people playing Persona, my first game being Royal and loved it. I've played Golden and Royal so I was excited to play p3 reload and oh boy do I enjoy this game already 40 hours in, not sure if I like it the best of the 3 but I really love p5 mechanics and p4 story. With this game it feels like a mix of both a good story and good combat. I have a feeling I will love this game the best of the 3 games I played.
As many others have said, welcome to the Velvet Room. My first introduction to the series was the Persona 4 anime, and then I played Persona 5 and totally fell in love with the series. I've never played any version of P3, but I'll be picking this up soon!
@@FreshTillDeath56 Oh, I know. I played P5, didn't beat it, played P4G, have beaten it twice now, beat P5R twice, and I planned on picking up P3...but then this new version was announced so I waited. Going to be playing it very soon!
I can see myself playing through this game and continue trying the other games in the series (except for 1 and 2 LOL) Im very excited to see what this game holds for me :^)
This new shift mechanic is so dope. I love chaining them together every time there's enemies with multiple weaknesses! Like, if there's enemy A, B, and C, each one with a different weakness-- I cast Bufu and knock down A, then shift to Yukari use Garu to knock down B, then shift again to Junpei to use Agi to knock down C, then use all out attack to finish them off. In the past I'd have to make sure that I had as many elemental attacks as possible.
One of my favourite things to do is have a party member intentionally faster than the MC. Exploit weakness with party member and then shift to MC. Swap to a persona with charge such as Siegfried. Now because it wasn't actually the MC's turn, I can go again and just deathbound everything. If I don't kill all, I'm gonna crit.
@@mtheroes3296Worse. Much, much worse than that. FES gave you no direct control of anyone besides the MC. I thought i could endure the party AI in reload for the true persona 3 experience, but after experiencing the pure bliss of direct control in persona 5, there's no way i can live without it now.
"They look too grown up to be highschoolers" This reminded me those school cartoons like Recess or Hey Arnold, where the 5th grade students were like two times bigger than 4th grade students, and 6th grade students looked basically like adults hahaha But yeah, at first I thought Kirijo was a teacher
I remember thinking as a kid bc of those cartoons that once I hit middle school everyone was gonna lookin straight up brolic LMAO Also I def thought Kirijo was someone’s older sister that was in college LOL
After putting in many hours to portable and reloaded, you definitely started off with a balanced and pretty hard person game! But I think that's what makes it fun!
I def like how theres still a little bit of challenge on normal (i hope no one jumps me for saying that lmao) so I can feel little learning pains while I get through the amazing story~
16 years ago i played this game already finished yesterday bring so much memories when i am just schoolboy ahaha welcome to one of the best Turn Based RPG sis OG and Reload have best song
i hope you love the game!!! and if you do you definitely need to play all the other persona games trust me they’re so amazing and they’ll stick with you forever!! i played the original persona 3 and loved it. i had my doubts about the remake but wow this looks so great ill definitely be watching all your videos!
persona 1 is eh. the consensus is, don’t play persona 1 but read the comic instead. that’s the best way to experience it. persona 2 has somewhat dated gameplay, but many people argue it has the best story out of all personas it’s a cult favorite. persona 3, 4 and 5 are all amazing too!
I really love seeing people new to one of my favorite video game series but I couldn’t imagine playing my first ever persona game on stream they’re not easy
SMT spell naming conventions are actually very intuitive. Taru = attack Suku = agility (hit or evasion rate) Raku = defense -kaja spells are buffs (tarukaja, rakukaja) -nda spells are debuffs (tarunda, rakunda) These spell names are consistent within the entire franchise (like 90% of the games in megami tensei). Haven't played any FF games but don't they have consistent spells in the series too?
As a persona Vet, i have to say, finally the community is starting to grow a lot, all thanks to P3R and P5R Welcome, to the vel... sorry, for the Persona series Hope ur ready for everything, cause i cried, laughed and vibed a lot during this 6 years lmao Ps: I got 100% in P3R, P5R, P4G and P3P achievements and bosses ingame, in 2 accounts, cause i was bored of playing in an acc where i couldnt do more than just repeating everything, pointleslly.
Knowing how relatively old this video is I figured I would find a P5R playthrough following this on your channel and I was right. 😄The Persona series is super addicting, the story is always well done in the sense that you're constantly wanting to know what happens next, initially I wasn't a big fan of the gameplay but the story carried me through and now I'm addicted. P4G was the first JRPG I played properly and I'm glad it introduced me to the genre let alone the Persona series
I like watching people start persona 3r and mentally collecting their reactions to the part where Yakari says "don't say anything about ............................ *last night*" and Junpei reacts with "!!"
Protag walking through a completely empty train station with huge puddles of blood everywhere, notices an open manhole and thinks "Oh, I should stay clear of that."
Glad to see a new guest enter the Persona series! Welcome……to the Velvet Room! I hope you enjoy this game and the other games if you decide to dive into Persona 4 Golden/ Persona 5 Royal or any game in this amazing series in the future!
Ty ty! I've always wanted to play P5R but never got around to it and with the hype around P3R and all my friends praising the game I HAD to play this asap (also bc i was getting fomo LOL)
@@eunibuni I see your friends made the right choice into letting you dip your toes into this series! Hope you do P5R in the future, they ain’t lying when they say this game and that game are great! Also fun fact, the original Persona 3 was the reason the series even survived at all to make it to Persona 5 Royal levels of quality and I’m glad Persona 3 is getting the remaster it deserved after nearly 20 years!
Take back what you said to Elizabeth...you'll get to know her better later on let's just say he's the embodiment of "She doesn't understand, but she has the spirit"...also.. don't judge Mitsuru just yet... *MARIN* *KARIN*
Reload is graphically a great improvement pver the original and even the portable remake. It looks a lot more like P4 than the original P3, which is in my opinion, the best of the games story wise.
I found it really funny how in the opening movie, she was surprised at the girl turning into a coffin, but didn’t even bat an eye when when the guy put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. 😂
Game’s fun. At first I was annoyed by the fact that they’d keep telling us to go to bed early OVER AND OVER AGAIN. But eventually I understood and yeah, epic game.
As somebody who's played these games a ton and gone through the pain of guessing Shadows' weaknesses, something that can help with the guessing is some of them are weak to the opposite element that they use (fire/ice, thunder/wind, dark/light). It's by no means a 100% guarantee, but a good amount of them follow this at least somewhat.
@@X-3181 In this game, Mitsuru cannot and Fuuka can, but she needs to use a SP skill to do so (she does give you the results immediately instead of waiting a few turns though, and I'll gladly accept that trade). However they both now keep track of weaknesses and resistances permanently as long as you've hit said enemy at least once with the element in question, similar to Persona4 and Persona5
@@eunibuni also the masks have meaning, they represent the same arcana that your personas use. If you have a general idea of that arcana you can get a vague idea of what to try first. It's not 100% consistent but it definitely speeds up the guessing process.
I haven't played p3r but watching this playthrough i see that the cutscenes are a lot more on the safe side compared to p3fes idk how to feel about that
Welcome aboard the Persona hype train. A small primer: there’s always debate about where to start in the series, especially considering this is a spin off of the main SMT RPGs. Well, Persona has their own spin offs and extended universe media, and after pursuing many of the ATLUS titles, the best I can suggest to newcomers is to take it in stride. There are of course many self referential concepts that piggyback off every title that has been released over the years but, I honestly think P3 is the “best” place to start. I say this, not to discount Persona 1/2 but, with how the continuity and mechanics flow from P3 to 4 then 5, this is the best way to begin before you decide to plunge the depths. If you find the lore and ideas presented enjoyable.
"i want that music player bro" hahaha so does every persona 3 fan but we are never going to to get iy because it's a rare walkman model and all of the batteries are fired in them now and it's almost impossible to replace them. 😭
Coming from 5 and 4, 3 definitely feels old in some respects, but i really do think its tone, characters, pacing (even though people say the early game is too slow) and overall story is just by far the best.
the protagonist Makoto Yuki naturally has 2 Personas... I wonder what causes it? I know it isn't the wildcard trait as the only other character with that going on was never confirmed to be a wildcard(someone who can take and use multiple Personas)
@@billcipher3180 akechi never also has both out at the same time, iirc. I always saw his thing as Loki having an ability to change forms to fool others. There's also the thing that Makoto literally had another being inside of him and it is shown that the thanatos in the awakening cutscene has the same form as the one death took in its battle against aigis
i started with Persona 3 Portable and Persona 3 FES. Playing this remake is a *bliss* to say the very least. It's my game of the year and the second I can pre-order the DLC I will. Hit me up atlus, I'll do beta testing for the low, low price of "free"
Persona 4 protag "I summon my persona by crushing a tarot card, symbolizing how we are defying our fate!" Persona 5 protag "I pull off a mask, symbolizing how we are removing the masks we wear to show our true selves!" Persona 3 protag just eyes his gun....
I have to say, the ENG VA's for P3R, especially Junpei nailed it. I rarely play these kind of games with the English voice-overs, but I think they nailed it, (and hot take) some are even better than the JP VA's
I dont know how they were originally in the previous versions of P3 but yeah! Junpei’s VA snapped with his lines bc I think it fits him perfectly. Same goes for Mitsuru!
As a Persona veteran, I love seeing new people get into the series! Welcome aboard!
Based on the streams of many others who I saw first played this game I think a lot of newcomers are actually coming through in the year 2024 for example I'm totalling you to monster hunter in the year 2024 due to Monster Hunter world and well you know I think 2024 is going to be a huge year for people discovering games that were either already established or just people giving it a try so 2024 is going to be that transition year
Tysm! I’m very excited~ This game has such amazing, super upbeat music it couldn’t possibly hurt my feelings later down the line right? :,)
Bright and cheery. No trauma at all @@eunibuni
I'm actually new to the series too, and this is also gonna be my first game. I'm already 20 hours in. I love it
same... especially with this game

Facts. I played reload then immediately played royal and then a month later played golden. Have metaphor preordered now lol
Ikr? Even the 'shortest' gameplay i tried (P4 and P3P) i finished it at
around 52 hours
Poor Junpei, lmao. Though I had a little goatee starting sophomore year of highschool too. It was the early 00s, that was cool back then. The game takes place in 2009, so, Junpei is not outta fashion exactly
I apologize to Junpei. I wasn’t familiar with people’s game back in 2009 😭 I was still a 5th grader so no goatee trends for me LOL
My goat is always catching strays
waited so many years for this and its finally here. This is one hell of a game, i hope you enjoy it.
"That was very cute, this game is very bright"

このゲームのテーマは”死”です。

SMT spell naming conventions are actually very intuitive.

Raku = defense

I haven't played p3r but watching this playthrough i see that the cutscenes are a lot more on the safe side compared to p3fes idk how to feel about that
Welcome new Persona fan~ We were waiting for ya
Welcome aboard the Persona hype train. A small primer: there’s always debate about where to start in the series, especially considering this is a spin off of the main SMT RPGs. Well, Persona has their own spin offs and extended universe media, and after pursuing many of the ATLUS titles, the best I can suggest to newcomers is to take it in stride. There are of course many self referential concepts that piggyback off every title that has been released over the years but, I honestly think P3 is the “best” place to start. I say this, not to discount Persona 1/2 but, with how the continuity and mechanics flow from P3 to 4 then 5, this is the best way to begin before you decide to plunge the depths. If you find the lore and ideas presented enjoyable.
"i want that music player bro" hahaha so does every persona 3 fan but we are never going to to get iy because it's a rare walkman model and all of the batteries are fired in them now and it's almost impossible to replace them. 😭
Her finding out junpei was a student not a janitor was funny
Jumper is always catching strays 💀
hdsjhdsjds your mind is so naughty i didn't interpret a lot of these things the same way when i played it xD
As someone who reads flavor text it pained me when you ran past everyone 😭
IM got interested in this game. and i really want to play it.
but I got no money since Im still in college, its too expensive for my national currency
I'm in loooooove.
Coming from 5 and 4, 3 definitely feels old in some respects, but i really do think its tone, characters, pacing (even though people say the early game is too slow) and overall story is just by far the best.
Idk it is just me or... but igor in different persona series voices is different... I think
My first was P5 and I’m loving P3 so far
I'm glad youre enjoying! I hope to get through all the "mainstream" persona games (3, 4, & 5) at some point~
3:58:00 youre heading to practice, right?!??!?!? Hahhhahah i love characters in persona games
the protagonist Makoto Yuki naturally has 2 Personas... I wonder what causes it? I know it isn't the wildcard trait as the only other character with that going on was never confirmed to be a wildcard(someone who can take and use multiple Personas)
may be related to the fact that he's the only wildcard protagonist that has an evoker, technology made for better handling of a persona
@@ryoujiarisato7308 but Akechi didn't have an evoker so it can't be that
@@billcipher3180 akechi never also has both out at the same time, iirc. I always saw his thing as Loki having an ability to change forms to fool others. There's also the thing that Makoto literally had another being inside of him and it is shown that the thanatos in the awakening cutscene has the same form as the one death took in its battle against aigis
Cuz of death arcana he's connected to Nyx in a way
The animated awakening sceen in the original P3FES still looks better imo
28:09 me too i wish we could date the guys. it would be so fun.
RIGHT? I wish I could date aki or beanie boi :,)
Good luck for your career on yt, my sweetheart
I need this level of self control to not react at all to It's Going Down Now OST
Hello from Malaysia. Done Subbed🙂
Good, you're playing the actual best one
A lot of ppl were telling me p3 was their favorite out of the 3 “mainstream” persona games so I’m glad my experience has been great so far~
This isn’t 4 golden
@@FlowerSunMoonlightsyndrome4 only got better cast 3R and 5 has way better gameplay
Nice first persona games! you should try p5r as well in the future!
i started with Persona 3 Portable and Persona 3 FES.
Playing this remake is a *bliss* to say the very least.
It's my game of the year and the second I can pre-order the DLC I will.
Hit me up atlus, I'll do beta testing for the low, low price of "free"

Persona 4 protag "I summon my persona by crushing a tarot card, symbolizing how we are defying our fate!"
Persona 5 protag "I pull off a mask, symbolizing how we are removing the masks we wear to show our true selves!"
Persona 3 protag just eyes his gun....
Has a veteran i can only Say: BABYBABYBABYBABYBABY
Jealous as there’s something magical about the first persona game one plays
Per-son-na!
I have to say, the ENG VA's for P3R, especially Junpei nailed it. I rarely play these kind of games with the English voice-overs, but I think they nailed it, (and hot take) some are even better than the JP VA's
I dont know how they were originally in the previous versions of P3 but yeah! Junpei’s VA snapped with his lines bc I think it fits him perfectly. Same goes for Mitsuru!
Junpei voice is perfect!
@@eunibuni mitsuru is spot on!
