Notice that the Elda are both powerful to be feared ('inheriting a heretical power') and at the same time weak to be mocked ('no distinct traits, inferior').
It's the same thing that Final Fantasy XVI does with their magic users, where they're both mocked and branded and abused but also feared because of their potential power.
Does that mean we listen to those who do know the language and criticize the localization or we shouldn't trust any localization since they aren't doing the translation. Can you explain?
I wasn't planning to get this on launch but I had the uncontrollable urge to buy it last night and holy shit, it's quickly become one of my favorite games from Atlus. Also damn that title screen music is so fucking good dude.
i like the idea that his "fantasy book" talks about our world and indicating that because theirs no magic or different "tribes" that their would be no racism or prejudice, because it's commenting on how WE OFTEN view fantasy stories as bieng better than our own world BECAUSE their are different creatures and magic, it's a good mirror to the medium, i like it
After beating the demo I've got to say that this seems to be a perfect marrying of Persona and SMT. Besides that, my lord fantasy racism stonks go UP with this game. I haven't seen it this overt and forward in a hot minute
to correct pat, their not suing esperanto, their using it as a base and building a fictional language on top of it, least that's what the monk who sang this said, also esperanto is not an unspoken language like pats saying, but it is rarely spoken
I was wondering why the performance was iffy and then I realized I was only using 8 watts. This game runs really well and can only imagine how much better it'll run if they ever remove Denuvo.
Wish I tried fighting that dragon, even if I was playing on Hard mode. I thought it would be like the start of DQ11 and it would be 50 levels higher than you as an incentive to come back later.
1:02:40 I keep thinking the MC should have looked like Yosuke when they pushed the Yu-look-a-like with you, but they went with the other Yuri Lowenthal character.
Can somebody get Patrick more guy friends to hang out with? Him watching a cutscene of two children going "I love books and desire freedom" and going CANT GET ANY GAYER THAN THAT! really speaks to his lack of close male friends
Glad I'm not the only one who notices how often he goes for the 'OH, THESE GUYS ARE GAY' bit. Two guys stand next to each other and suddenly he's talking about them getting 'boypregnant in their bussies.'

23:41 L take. That means we shouldn't be mad if the localizers starts translating info wrong with slurs. If we want authenticity, we should have it if its offered. If the bible was translated allowing big evil, People should have a problem with it.

The duality of racism; certain races are seen as inherently inferior, but at the same time considered enough of a threat to be removed.
Which flavour is your favorite?@adamruiz3683

“ITS METAPHORICAL!”
_- Taserface_
It's a metaphor for sponsorships
And racism!
@@Dracobyte Especially racism.
sponsored racism?! wait a second...
There are actually about 1000 native esperanto speakers in the world which is leagues more than any other conlang
It also wasn't invented by the United nations it predated the existence of the United nations by like a good 60 years
The metaphor is that it’s a good game
Time for the Atlus RPG about racism! Woolie would be proud.
That Cube shit is so on point that if it isnt ANYTHING ill be disappointed
"Don't listen to anyone about localization of they don't speak the language."
THANK YOU!
Does that mean we listen to those who do know the language and criticize the localization or we shouldn't trust any localization since they aren't doing the translation. Can you explain?
@@furyberserk To the former yes, if they can speak both English and Japanese THEY can be listened to.
The metaphorical adventures of Gregory Allegory and his menagerie hegemony.
sometimes I forget how educated Pat is and than he hits me with a buncha high concept shit.
I wasn't planning to get this on launch but I had the uncontrollable urge to buy it last night and holy shit, it's quickly become one of my favorite games from Atlus. Also damn that title screen music is so fucking good dude.
Pat really started this VOD with a swear, if he was ever monetised it would be something but since he isn’t he don’t give a shit lol
Flatland was such a mind obliterating book when I first read it in middle school, and it didn't even require drugs!

funny, it felt more like a synecdoche
i'm giving this demo a 6 outta 10, ok bye synedoche new york

"Esperanto was invented by the United nations in 1887"... Pat the United nations didn't exist in 1887
*stabs old king* shits gunna get radical.
That capcom fighting game health story reminds me that we are all just a bunch of dorky video game nerds trying our best to be good people xD
Oh my god, replaying the demo is a metaphor!! I get it now!
Every time he says "it's a metaphor," I always think of the song "Metaphor" by Lonely Island.
What genre is Lonely Island?
@@Dracobyte Incredibad.
I litteraly named the main character "Meta" for multiple reasons, some of which are obvious and others a little less so
Is his last name "Phor"?
so...what your saying, is that fairy is a portable mp3 player, gotcha
Magic really feels like the stat they really want for the protag. I went for a dumb metaphor name too. Called the MC "Meta"

Kinda weird/intresting that Pat didn't run with Patron like he usually does with mc names.
I wonder if Pat's mind goblins will attack him with the time management sections
14:36 he in fact DID NOT call this part 0.5
Is it me or the soundtrack in the crystal mines is SMT Strange Journey. That dun dun sound reminds me of it.

pat you're not supposed to open the video with a cuss
Lol luis cypher
Like personas, shadows, and the collective unconscious archetypes are from Jungian psychology.
Could have named him O Largely.
Rage Olly?

NOT XBOB
Great demo, but it performed terribly on my PC. Luckily I have a PS5 but I do hope they fix the performance issues.
WTF IS GRAYOLA?
i tried 30 hours of P4 & decided i didn't like it... gonna try this demo anyway. art & music seem nice!
To quote Woolie "Let the race wars begin"
THE RACE WAR STARTS NOoOOoOOoOOoOOW.
Everytime I see Louis I yelled Griffith
Can somebody get Patrick more guy friends to hang out with?
Him watching a cutscene of two children going "I love books and desire freedom" and going
CANT GET ANY GAYER THAN THAT!
really speaks to his lack of close male friends
Yeah, Pat has a bad habit of missing the forest for the trees.
I like my stories as gay as the next guy, but that scene is literally the Bob's burger. "They certainly are standing next to each other" meme.
Glad I'm not the only one who notices how often he goes for the 'OH, THESE GUYS ARE GAY' bit. Two guys stand next to each other and suddenly he's talking about them getting 'boypregnant in their bussies.'
You are literally waking up male Sleeping Beauty/Snow White as a would-be-king.
