      That's the thing, while it may not have had a derogatory connotation back then, Yoshi-p actually had an interesting interview where he said the word felt discriminatory to Japanese developers since in the era where journalists were often using the term was often used to deride Japanese games, and while the term is seen differently now it's not surprising that devs from back then don't like the word JRPG.

    I don’t get your point on the day/night cycle in persona. That’s literally the main point of those games. Though it can be cheesy all the games themes are the bonds you make outside of battle strengthening you in battle.

    0:18 I love ya SnowiestAngeman, but this is shutting down a lot of conversation on a topic that has history and nuance like genre, just because some morons online are xenophobic.
    It's to my understanding that the West has RPG genres defined under CRPG, RPG, ARPG, and JRPG. Whereas in the East it's boiled to the genre difference of CRPG and RPG (that is a whole other topic that I don't feel equipped to get into further detail on). JRPG doesn't mean "role playing game made by Japanese", it means "role playing game genre which originated from Japan."
    Games like Hylics, Lisa, Sea of Stars, etc. are all western developed games that are JRPGs. The single most culturally influential indie game of the past decade is a JRPG called Undertale, a game which was influenced by Earthbound and Megami Tensei.
    There are plenty of RPGs made in Japan, but it was Dragon Quest (which came after other RPGs developed in Japan) that remixed and streamlined concepts from Ultima and Wizardry so heavily it formed a new genre of it's own. JRPGs are games that derive their DNA (in greater or lesser degrees) from Dragon Quest. If Dragon Quest wasn't the father of a whole new genre of it's own that influenced the design philosophies for countless developers, Like a Dragon 7 wouldn't be a game that pays tribute to Dragon Quest and name drops it repeatedly, instead of some game older than Dragon Quest.
    There is no "better" when it comes to genre, only differences. Could one in theory, describe Fallout New Vegas and Final Fantasy 7 as being similar, with no surface level game design differences that are worth distinguishing? Possibly, but not in a manner that would be good faith.

    I'm going to disagree with you as this isnt Atlus learning how to cook again this is just a symptom of 2 things 1. The end of the latest incarnation of the modern atlus cycle that started around 2011-2012 and 2. the return of Altus's experienced A team.
    You see Atlus as a studio struggled alot after the 90s their games never sold as much as they needed so they were always on the verge of bankruptcy so once they had a hit on their hands with persona 4 they milked the hell out of it makeing fans question if they'd put out any more Shin Megami Tensei games or Persona 5 and then Persona 5 actually came out to the bigest acclaim they ever got and so the cycle was restarted this time with a bigger fanbase with P5 as their new cash cow they'd milk for all its worth. With P5's success and the Sega buyout Atlus for the first time since 1999 was in a very good place financially and could expand and hire new blood and the old veterans of Persona 3-5 and Shin Megami Tensei 3 and 4 had room to experiment for once this resulted in them leaving Atlus's two existing internal teams RnD1(SMT) and Studio P (Persona) to create a new team called Studio Zero and they started this right after Persona 5 came out in 2016. The rookies have been working on Persona and SMT for a while now with them still geting their feet wet with spinoffs and remakes while the veterans of the company spent the past half a decade on their new IP with a fusion of everything they've done before and their new ideas. And i guarantee if Refantazio becomes a success Atlus will milk it as much as Persona 5 has been as thats just how they roll as a studio

      Yeah, Persona 4 definitely has a way more annoying gameplay style than P3. I mean, P4 seriously expects you to redo dungeons all over again just to do tedious side quests and, more often than not, you have to do it or you’ll be underleveled for the next dungeon. Multiple enemies and bosses have hidden affinities that you’ll likely never figure out on your own. With P3, at the very least you can choose when to take breaks and when to progress the dungeon crawling.

    2:33 I feel like this point is extremely subjective based on how your experience growing up. That's why the 3 Hashino games are so contentious because of everyone's different background. For example, I felt this way more about P5 than 4. In terms of writing and characters, I think the Hashino trilogy are all pretty equal, with the only real improvement being the pacing with each game.

    • @oreotaku4017
      @oreotaku4017 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Same here. I can genuinely see where the Best story/characters/gameplay argument comes from but in my opinion it’s much more even than people give it credit for.
      P3 has a great story but is probably the slowest to open up out of the three and its story itself is a huge slow burn that only starts to pick up after October. And while the character are pretty great the fact they hardly had moments to interact outside of the Plot never made them a strong group of friends. Great individual characters but hardly a team of friends till the very end of the game.
      Persona 4 is easily my favorite so I’m biased. But it’s already a step up to have each chapter go through a strong arc once they join that is farther explored in their SLs. The main mystery is also a compelling narrative with a direct goal that seems more obtainable. More so then climbing a seemingly never ending tower for an hour each night. Its gameplay is now probably the weakest but is still a solid baseline for the other games going forward.
      P5 has a few messy writing regarding some themes and its cast bounce back and forth between 3 and 4. But its overall presentation is amazing from the enemies to the music art direction it feels the most like a world to get lost in with the day to day system.

    2:50 there is no such thing as an objective opinion/truth, it’s just a widely accepted shared subjective opinion, and that’s all most people need to call it objective, but that’s just an approximation, not the truth. Some people may find that they can relate better with the story in personal 5 as opposed to 3 and then to that person it could then be the better story. you might be asking why this distinction is even important, and you’ve got a point. You might think an approximation is all you need, and in most situations this is true, but if we all followed this rule there’d be no variety in our day to day lives, and humans would all act according to the norms no matter if that person in particular agrees with them or not. Many norms are important and they exist for a reason, but breaking them down in order to innovate is also important. Crazy people who go out of their way to die on a hill are those who love society forwards, and while yes, you can say that in specific contexts there exists a subjective opinion that is agreed upon by a majority, and you certainly could call that an objective truth, it is in no way universal. The fact that we have different cultures around the world proves this.
    The fact that I happen to agree with this statement is not because it is a fact, but rather because I myself based on my own experiences and environment have happened to form this opinion, unrelated to what anyone else thinks. It is simply a coincidence that speaks to the fact that we as humans are all pretty similar, but the small differences that do divide us aren’t barriers to push us apart, they are reinforcements that make us stronger as a whole.

      In all seriousness the 7Remake trilogy is effectively a remake of the original. Just mor ambitious than most. It’s not a simple Remake that’s just the same thing over again but a complete expansion of the original. It’s a sequel because it pulls from th original game and all the other games beforehand it to make said expansion. And serves as a reboot for the series of Final Fantasy 7 media that hasn’t had a new major entry since the ps2.

    Not to be mean, but I feel like your criticism of "anime mannerisms" seems to be based a lack of perspective on JP media on the whole. I'm not gonna say it's super deep, because it's not, but it's exactly like how you compared the UK voice performances to plays. Anime or J-drama acting is closer to Japanese Theater and their own methods of how to convey plots and characters. While I'm on that topic, I'm just gonna say as an American, and thus someone completely disconnected to theater in general, English play acting also looks like a bunch of aliens trying to pass as human.

    I cant believe favorite yackzer content creator snowiestangeman thinks no party control is bad :(
    I honestly loved it. Persona 3 (the original) is also the only time they did it right, because with the tactics menu you could specifically order the teammates to go for weak point hits to knock them down (this solves the "junpei doesnt hit weak to fire enemies with his fire bars" issue) or just go for straight up attacks and not bother with ailments (helps mitsuru not spam marin karin tentarafoo jesus christ i hate those spells). The thing with this system is it made them feel like your FRIENDS, rather than units you could just order around. because they WERE! It's even more exemplified because you can't tell them to go to tartarus with you any day of the week, sometimes they're bummed out and dont wanna go or busy with school work or sometimes just sick. It made interacting with them feel, idk, more "real"?
    It's such a shame. They removed the fine grained tactics from persona 4 onwards, P5R for example has some bosses just completely unbeatable if you make your teammates act on their own (if you played the game you know what it is. Fucking robots.) P3R not bringing back the optional tactics orders is a huge missed opportunity in my eyes. I hope one they atlus or some other dev will make an RPG with teammates you "order" non directly again but they're actually smart this time so people don't get the wrong impression again.
    Edit: Oh also the Vengeance soundtrack slaps so ridiculously hard. Qaditsu boss theme, Shinjuku/Kabukicho theme, the 2nd main battle theme you highlighted. fucking amazing.

    I think the calendar system is precisely the reason the dungeons feel better in Persona and Metaphor than in most RPGs for me. The fact that I'm actually trying to budget my time and trying to finish the dungeon in a single day actually makes me engage with the mechanics in ways that I often don't in other games. Like, you know, actually using items. So many other JRPGs where I end with a dragon's hoard of mana recovery and damage items that went unused, while in Persona I often end up using them out to preserve resources and make sure I can finish the dungeon.
