@@chazzwozzio They manage to strike a nice subtle balance of colors that's eye-catching. Even the older UI for P3 was nice, but they managed to find a way to top it with this.
@@User5770 Absolutely. I've always liked the idea of characters from different games meeting the "new generation" of persona users and just seeing how they'd interact. I wish Atlus would just flat out do that in a Persona game. I know that we have the Q games and whatnot, but I want it in a Persona game... lol.
i didn't realize until today that the male and female protagonists had different battle themes :o . Mass Destruction's verses go hard, but i like Wiping All Out better overall
44:20 My "unique Character trait" was wearing multiple layers of clothing, specifically hoodies and jackets (I live in Texas). It would get a laugh out of people when ever I would do the "pull your shirt off to fight" thing but I would just slowly start taking off my layers of hoodies. At first I did it because I could use them extra layers as make shift pillows or blankets in class during winter but people would keep asking why so I just kept doing it to be memorable to them. it's nice being remembered with a character portrait rather then just flavor text if that makes any sense.
Fun little Japanese fact regarding 31:26: the kanji for sensei (先生) mean 'previous, before, first' and 'life' respectively. When he says "we've lived longer than them" he's saying the literal meaning of the word sensei, 'one who has lived before'
Too bad it's not in this episode but I loved watching Reggie's reaction to the rooftop fight. I don't think the main character knew what he was doing, he just saw a gun and the first thing he thought was "Yes!" And then pulled the trigger. He was very disappointed that a persona flew out of him instead of his brains.
I think the Fem-C route ruins him because he won't stop whining about how a *girl* is thier leader and how *messed up and backwards* that is. The Junpei I know from the OG PS2 game would never! He's a good character.
@@PredictableEnigmaTo be fair, that’s only early on. He gets over it pretty quickly, and he’s great in his S-Link. It’s like what’s going on with Sokka in the live action Avatar; you need the flaws so the character can grow out of them.
@@kataphrut7740 i'm with you generally. I mostly just don't like how they decided to give Junpei spesifically a new flaw he didn't have before in a later edition and it kinda takes away from the other things he learned over that character arc by muddying the water.
Y'know, It never occured to me, but Yuki Spends an Hour between arriving at the station and getting to the dorm. Like, there was no Traffic, he just walked for an hour before finding the dorm. Mans Directional sense is wack.
At least they're not in the same game (aside from Q2). I went with Akira in Strikers because I used Ren for Royal, and I was low-key annoyed to find out one of the main antagonists was also named Akira.
Persona 2 IS is still to this day the most batshit insane RPG story of all time. I don't even like Eternal Punishment that much, but I would KILL for an Innocent Sin remake.
I hope this somehow turns into a full LP so we can get the continuation of the WoolieVS JRPG arc. And also so we can see that Red Sheperd Energy channeled into Persona 3 by Reggie.
Honestly, say what you will about Vic Mignona - and I can say a LOT - his channeling of his inner slimeball really fit Junpei better than anything else.
Wonder how they’ll handle a certain character if they do remake them. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if that guy is part of why they act like this series started with 3
@@gameb9oy Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't censor him this time. Depicting Nazis in video games isn't as frowned upon now as it was back then, especially when you're fighting them. Personally, I hope they keep the "censored" version of him just because of how funny I find it. As for why they act like the series started with 3...they kinda don't. Naoya, Tatsuya and Maya are prominent in basically every bit of Persona promo material. It's just that Persona 3-5 is simply more popular, by a lot
@@gameb9oyTbf they did give him a pair of sick ass sunglasses last time they remade it so I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow tried to cover it by accidentally improving his drip again
His personality and way he talks can rub off as Annoying at first. I didn't like him at first too but by the time he meets Chidori he became the MC to me
Woolie doesn't like goofy/flirty male characters. Luka from Bayonetta, Shu from 13 Sentinels, Anji from Guilty Gear. More often than not, it's irrational and petty, and he's not exactly prone to changing his mind.
@@pedroportela6476It's especially funny considering the story (in Journey and reinforced in Answer) later establishes his class clown attitude is how he tries to maintain a good relationship with others. It's his way of holding people at an arm's length, and it eventually just becomes a part of him. You know, the core theme of the franchise. That goofy nature stems from his desire to be liked by people, since he has an abusive alcoholic father. That upbringing results in a teenager who feels like he isn't "good enough" but wants to feel special. Culminating in the entire Chidori arc where he allows himself to be natural, vulnerable again. Of the cast he is one of the strongest written characters and that's saying a lot, since this game's cast is all super good.
Supposed to be on a budget and putting off buying any new games right now but oh my gosh, this looks so good. I'm going to wind up being bad and buying it anyway at this rate. So I guess... Atlus did good sponsoring it. Also Atlus sponsoring an LP instead of doing take downs is a huge improvement for them.
This may be a surprise to Woolie but Akira Kurusu is not a pun on the English and Japanese words for killing. Sometimes Japanese words can sound like other things, crazy I know.
yeah, kurusu was just one of the basic names chosen for him before the anime adaptation. it doesn't have the same intentional meaning the way his anime/canon name does.
It destroyed my mental health (negatively) when I was one hit away from killing the final boss and one of my confused teammates used full cure on it. But it was a great enough game that I not only came back to it...I beat the boss and immediately started a new game for a best girl Mitsuru run.
I've always liked how P5 has Joker as a catch-all so that people can prefer to name him whatever they want but still have common terminology to discuss him with other people.
Man, if Reggie reacted like that to the watered-down look at Yukari trying to Evoke, I think he'd be really shook by the original with the running water and heartbeat.
i'll watch this properly later tonight but i just wanted to stop by for the a l g o r i t h m and congratulate you on the atlus sponsor!!! one of my favorite memories is way back when you finished nuzlocke on stream, so you, liam, and pat sang 'the battle for everyone's souls' together in the final fight.
you know hearing that opening about the aged up Persona 3 cast in Arena............you know it feels like that is such a rare thing in games actually aging their cast
6:00 Can we agree this cutscene was so much better in the original ? What did they remove the cool way the original used music to signal the end and beggining of the dark hour
I think the music fits the new aesthetic and voice direction (the game is way "softer" now) but some of these in engine cutscenes ain't it! Thanatos's intro just feels off despite the slightly more red coloring making it look more bloody this time.
@@Ravensgale I kinda appreciate it now that I'm farther in. It really feels like they tried their hardest to make reload not feel like a phoned in retelling of P3.
The atmosphere of this game absolutely crushes the other games in the series. They each have something they do better than the others, and I'd say in general they get better with each entry, but 4 and 5 can't touch this one's vibes.
Listen, I get the Junpei dislike, but remember he’s like, the ONLY party member that acts like an actual teenager in this game. Give him a chance lol I’m also kinda biased. He’s a total “big bro” character on the FeMC route, beating up guys taking candid photos of you in your gym uniform, and he gets so much better after meeting Chidori. He’s a stand-up guy.

The industry has never been more funny than right now
Come along way from I canceled Playthru, rest in peace, Hank Hill.
I like to imagine Woolie and Reggie as a pair of incredibly unhelpful shoulder angels and devils who just exist to reflect Minato’s inner thoughts.

7:56 "Bloodstains on the ground? Where am I? The sign says... huh...De... Troit?"
I am glad to learn that Woolie is also a flavor text NPC enjoyer. Talks to those flavor text NPCs everyone, someone somewhere put work into them.
I personally never got a romantic vibe from Akihiko and Mitsuru, they seemed to me more like a queen and her knight
Also Woolie also picked Yuko his first playthrough, based
More like an Empress and her Loyal Guard. Since, you know....

"The magic of that was seeing the cast come together."
I can say that that was definitely one of the highlights of those P4A games.
