The beginning especially has a very return to home kinda feeling. A very early game feel to it. It's like revisiting Makoto Yuki or him revisiting his own adventure
It's the second half that does it for me, the animation - panning through all the characters summoning their personas - the imagery - the lyrics - I've watched this a dozen times and i still get goosebumps - *_the second half goes HARD_*
Even now, I still let this intro play when i start up the game. I love how they kept the nostalgia and original songs. As for some remakes, they sometimes remix every or something OST in the game.
This brings tears of joy to my eyes. You can feel the power that this song holds, and you can feel the passion that went into this project. It's beautiful
Note how one of the lines is "Crazy how time flies" Personally I take this as a message from Atlus to Persona 3 fans saying that it's been years since the original game was released on the PS2. Although I'm only stating the obvious, I think it's a neat little thing
@0:39 “ crazy how time flies .” ….indeed , I was 18 when the original p3 came out , now I’m 36 a lot has changed, I’m a parent , husband, my parents are passed on (rip) but p3 is still P3. Been a while old friend.😊
P3 is peak. Theres something so cool about these characters artistically blowing their brains out with a gun haha. Im so glad they didnt change that in the remake
It isn’t P3 without being able to summon a persona in a unique way. Quite frankly no one besides Atlus has had the guts to make something that is usually panned as controversial and not good for kids about as artistic and intense as this and I’m not talking bad about how personas are summoned. For each game in the series there is a good explanation as to why the MCs and party members summon their personas their way.
@@danielwoods3896 in the tv world it's far easier to summon persona since it's a natural environment and not the artificial dark hour, so no evoker is needed, the p3 cast also can summon with no evoker in the tv world as seen in p4 arena
@danielwoods3896 Tarot cards are popular for fortune telling, which can be thought of as revealing one's fate or one's true self. P5 is on the nose since a persona is a type of mask, so removing the mask is revealing your true self. P3 is different because using the evoker is an expression of the willingness to face death.
I don't know if I'm the only one. Even when it comes to wanting to get straight back into the game, I HAVE to watch this opening specifically each time. Even more so than 5/Royal or 4/Golden. Strikers is the closest to it for me, But reload man......This one is just amazingly beautiful.
No, that's just the shame you're feeling in the pit of your stomach over that the fact your father is never coming back after he told you he's sorry you're the sperm that won.
🎶 FULL MOON AGAIN, CRAZY HOW TIME FLIES 🎶 As someone whos entry into the Persona Fandom was the Original P3 game, I personally feel like this line is a nod that P3 is back (Full Moon being a Reoccurring Theme) and it's been almost 18 years since the OG- which yeah, it's crazy how time flies ✨
I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone bring up the part at 1:36 For those who don't know, Persona 3's first remake; Persona 3 FES, had a seperate story set after the main story called The Answer.

@@BeWaReJay Sorry, made the timestamps in a dedicated software, and the music i used to make them didn't have the Xbox intro. So now they are off by some time...
P5r Intro was great but something about this one it feels upbeat but also establishes well the mystery and darkness that P3 is known for. While being a banger
Is not a real gun. Is an evoker. It what they use to summon personas. To summon a persona the user needs to feel fear or like their life is in danger. It's a weird concept but that's how it's work. I always thought they were shooting their ego, darkness, otherself (somehow taming that side) thus they were able to control them (the personas)
@@elelyonshaddai9807 I'm aware; however, the manner in which Minato uses said-evoker is significantly more reminiscent to an actual suicide than prior instances due to how tired he looks, hence my morbid fascination.
This game is a piece of art! It seems a bit childish sometimes, but there is a deeper meaning in almost everything. Would not have thought that I`d come to admire this game so much.
I eagerly await the day I can once more face Death with my best friends next to me. Don't know if we'll win, but we're sure as fucking hell gonna try. Ain't that right, Shinji?
Freaking amazing opening persona 3 reload gave me chills lotus juice i hope persona 4 gets same love if we see remake I Hope being persona 4 golden remastered or something 😊
Unlike most people that are excited for this game I have to admit that although I liked the original persona Three, out of all the persona games I have to say it wasn't one of my favorites but I'm hoping this version makes me change my mind.
the original persona 3 opening (and portable by extension) had such an abstract vibe that i ADORED, with heavy focus on death and time as that is the LITERAL point of the game. this just seems like they’re showing off the characters and the plot like that’s some sort of theme (but with style.. same thing p5r suffered from) to a new player, this their first exposure to what they’re ab to commit 100 hrs to. i miss how “weird” persona 3 felt, which definitely could’ve been attributed to its era but this is definitely feels like evidence of a step away from that. how could it be persona 3 opening without wackass latin phrases about death and mortality?
They still show the death part of the game's themes by people falling out the window and transitions to the Dark Hour without beating you over the head about it like in the original PS2 game intro.
The death motifs are more toned down. The red spider lily that Elizabeth turns into a key is a symbol for bad omens/death. The torii gate and the crow are other symbols. But it's not the same without memento mori.
Well they are more visualized you could say. Sometimes Symbols for certain Things shown are more impactful then some Words or Texts. But i get what you mean i loved certain Phrases too like Memento Mori, Remember you will die or Remember you are mortal.
Guys i'm a new persona fan i have not finished persona 5 royal yet , this game takes my life and i can't sleep such a masterpiece so far and now i will have to finish persona 5 royal before persona 3 reload come out and finish persona 3 reload before metaphor that's a real mission for batman🗿🗿🗿
0:56 - 1:00 honestly looks like minato commiting suicide. yes, i know thats a evoker but where he looks so tired its like he's done. by the way, when 0:56 happened thats def the best part, i forgot his name but he was in p3p too i think. and since i'm bored imma go on a rant about how fucking awsome persona 3 is. cuz, numero 1, you can screw elizebeth😂(i didn't on my p3r playthrough i did romance with yukari) the music goes hard af, the story is extremely well written(in my opinion the best persona game) and the mc is awesome! he can literally use ANY PERSONA and its FUCKING SICK, in my current playthrough i can probably solo all floors of tarterus because i have fused so many persona's together one of mine has every attack type except for slash and i can just melee for that, and of course i have other persona's that are primarily for one attack but the one with everything is op. and also this game is so nostalgic, like i was 8 when i first stepped into persona, and i am so glad i did. alrighty😂 i think i said enough😅
i remember watching this and when it played at 0:57 i kept on thinking why they were commiting sewer slide and sending straight up spoilers and then figuring out they somehow were alive, but now ig shooting yourself in Persona is normal
can't believe they added my playlist into the op
Same thats crazy

The intro from the original game is definitely iconic. But this opening is a good one too. It's new yet, kinda nostalgic feeling.
It keeps the same tempo as Burn my Dread.

I already liked P3D opening more than P5's, so for me it doesn't come out as a surprise lol
You misspelt 'Bread'
P3: hand me my full moon please
Unpopular opinion here but I actually prefer Persona 4 Goldens opening. But Reload’s OP just hits different

ok but 0:56 did not need to go that hard

0:55 "wake up" and "get up" reminds me of og persona 5 opening... Coincidence 😅? Probably but I wonder lol
Honestly I almost think that was Kotone Jumped from the building at 0:36
I'm trying to figure out - am I crazy or did they really bring her back for this intro. I really hope that's suppoused to be her
It’s just a generic female Gekkoukan student.
