having characters named: Tatsuya Suou, Katsuya Suou, Tatsuya Sudou, and Tatsuzou Sudou all in the same game in the same conversation is actually sadistic 😂
@@SrKing-dm4ku the gamer looks at their bed, does a motion of pressing ✖️, is immediately laying on the bed, *[pause]* appears floating in front of their bed while the track "my room: night" is instantly cut. 8 hours pass in the span of a few seconds, abruptly the sound of a click causes *[pause]* to dematerialize and the gamer is instantly standing again with the light of a new day peering in through their windows. "Damn are my eyes dry" they say; transition to black, end scene.
I love how P1 and P2 IS and EP are a full trilogy with so many characters coming back. I wish that the newer age Persona games had even a sprinkle of this. (Outside of Ultimax)
it’s literally crumbs out here. u mean i played p4 & all i got was being able to point at a poster in a subway & tell my gf that’s a character in p4 🤨🤓
@@court-court theres also some references to older characters on the tv but thats basically it. But there is a katsuya reference in the snazzy detective with red glassees
Sharing a tidbit of lore I remember from interviews with the Demon Artist himself, Kazuma Kaneko So even Katsuya’s ambition to become a pastry chef comes from Tatsuya. He was making donuts for him as a kid and it was the first time he really managed to connect with him with all the messiness of their family life. It is SO WHOLESOME it’s just amazing, Katsuya is such a cuddly dork beneath his amazing suit.
Aww it seems you didn't include the Tatsuya scenarios in the video! They're playable side segments from the PSP port where you follow Tatsuya's side of the story before (and a bit after) he joins the party and they have some of the best writing in the game imo. It explores his angst and internal struggle with Nyarlathotep in more details. Plus there's a sweet plotline where he bonds with a police officer named Shiori who's been sheltering him while he's running away from home. Shiori's brother Takaya was also one of Tatsuya Sudou's murder victims on This Side, replacing the Alaya Shrine incident from the Other Side. In the side story, we also meet the Suou brothers' dad who's very much alive, he's just not involved in the main plot. And then the final part is this crazy dungeon crawl through an eldritch tower where you battle eldritch abominations to save Shiori who's been demonized. This part of the game confirms that the world of P2 takes place in the same universe as the Cthulu Mythos stories and has you interacting with original Lovecraft characters lol. These side stories made Tatsuya my fav Persona protagonist by a long shot because it depicts his internal turmoil so well.
One of the greatest rpgs of all time. Tsumi and Batsu represent amazing character development and story. And it is all so very punishingly dark. So slept on.
If I had a nickel for every time a Courtney video just came out as I was going to get groceries, I would have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.
As someone who was in their 20s when playing Eternal Punishment, I loved playing the game. While the rest of the Persona games are truly great, it was so refreshing to play one with mainly all ADULTS. I was really able to relate with the mature plot and characters of Eternal Punishment, and I think that it not revolving around high schoolers helped. Anywho, great video, Courtney! I look forward to the next one!
Masao went to study overseas and Ayase became a housewife and doesnt communicate with the P1 gang anymore, thats why they dont show up in any of the P2s
33:15 - It’s all good, the old dictionary meaning for the word gay was just a synonym for happiness and bliss. Baofu is just having the time of his life with the new intel.
Its great that you did this video because i had a break from playing this game for like 2 months so i was really confused with its story when i came back but now thanks to you i can understand the story without replaying the game. Thanks
First of all, excellent video and I love your channel! Second, I don’t think it will happen, but I do wish they would make another Persona game featuring a mostly adult cast. It has the potential to tell a lot of really cool stories. You could still have social bonds like in modern Persona games but you would just spend the day at work instead of school. Then you’d go hang out and fight shadows. Probably won’t happen because the school life stuff is so popular (I do like it myself) but I think it would be nice for Altus to change things up!
1000% this is like my dream set up for a Persona 6, could take a similar approach to P5 and start out with a few coworkers joining together to sort out a corrupt/evil higher up in the company. would also be so fun to see like an office janitor confidant story or something. just a lot of avenues they could explore while still having that slice of life/day to day feel
That Cats & Dogs movie fucked me up back in the day. The dogs or maybe the kid almost get lit on fire, it was a lot for 5 or 6 year old me. Love your videos, tremendously underrated.
It is interesting to see how the older Persona games played out story wise, a bit surprised by the lack of "You literally fight god (or close to it) at the end" like with the later titles.
i’ve seen/enjoyed a couple of your persona videos - you’re fucking hilarious and your editing is top tier !!! i hadn’t subscribed yet, but youtube recommended this to me, while it’s just under 1k views too !!!! real hot off the press. the effort u put into these is insane and i am definitely subscribing - i didn’t even recognize it was from u at first, i got drawn in by the thumbnail + video length and was hyped as fuck to see it was brand new from u !!! this is fantastic, thanks for the awesome content !!
You could have been talking about Ironhide's death in the animated 1980's Transformers movie. He'd only have two nickels, but it's weird that it happened twice.
@@tonyknighton4019 I've heard that's the case, but I never played either because 3DS exclusivity and Christian parents are an incredible combination like that.
Just finding these videos, I’m really enjoying it and would definitely love to see more of this if you were interested in doing the other games. Keep on being awesome!
I love Baofu but the fact that a Hard Disk Drive is still intact after EVERYTHING they did in that half hour?? Those little disk plates are fragile, man! People use them as coasters and stuff cause they break all the time!
I just feel like you need to know that whenever I get an ad for this video, it always happens at 11:38, which is part way through the velvet room bit, and it kills me every time!
Fun fact, the names of the P1 cast in the EP PS1 localisation are semi-taken from the _very_ westernised localisation of their game of origin AKA Revelations: Persona. It's... it's bad.

BABE WAKE UP COURTNEY POSTED A NEW PERSONA VIDEO
FK YEAH LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!😤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
true gamers never sleep, we just hit pause ✋🏻😤
No fkn way babe
@@court-court the mental image of a gamer looking at a bed, laying on the sheets then entering a catatonic state eyes open for 8 hours is killing me

katsuya is for the girls
Every thing I read or see about Baofu makes me think he'd be a memetic icon if this game was more widely popular back in its time.
I love that this video has two central themes: "Courtney has just caught up with HBO's Last of Us" and "fuck Ohio"
correction: it's three themes, the third is "Fleetwood Mac rules"
hahaha this is so accurate, i’m deep in tlou right now
imagine a life without katsuya suou.... we are so lucky that EP exists for that reason alone
The Naruto references and the "pair of doc martens" joke had me wheezing
I’m finding it difficult to stop thinking about the phrase “Nicholas of ticholas”.
it's a phrase for all times, for all seasons
All the world governments saw Courtney posted another Persona recap and just decided to have world peace, crazy influence this chosen gamer has 🙏
George Washington as the Night Mother is simultaneously the worst and best idea i've heard today.
that's what i'm saying,, disney just give me one chance c'mon

I genuinely don’t think I’d have nearly as much fun playing these games without this commentary. 10/10 absolutely banger of a video, keep it up!
My favorite persona game such a beautiful ending to the duology/ trilogy thanks for covering this Courtney
Babe wake up, Courtney uploaded another banger on an obscure but beloved game!
Its great that you did this video because i had a break from playing this game for like 2 months so i was really confused with its story when i came back but now thanks to you i can understand the story without replaying the game. Thanks
Awesome recap! It's so cool how interwoven the plot is with not just Innocent Sin, but also with Persona 1
YIPPPPEEEE NEW PERSONA RECAP I LOVE THESE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! love the dedication, these videos are so high quality!!
Can't wait for P3's recap. It should be fun 🎭
Everyone who watched this knows P3's story
I have been UNBELIEVABLY excited for this video

That’s serial escalation for ya.
Best personality and presentation I’ve ever seen on a recap. You deserve so many more subs.
I’m glad I came across your persona summaries because they never cease to make me laugh. Can’t wait see the Persona 3 video.
Not gonna lie, can't wait to see more of your videos! Love the editing! I've been getting into Persona games this year and I just can't get enough.
The venture off into a reaction vid killed me XD
when st peter denies me entry at heaven's pearly gates, it will be because i made react content
Best video game essayist I have seen in a long time. Keep it up. You def have a career with this. Look forward to more content.

I love your commentary videos and various references. Keep up the good work!
I’m hoping to be this early for all of your videos! So glad I found your channel. 😊
the Queen is back with another fire upload, thank you!
I was waiting for this video. Thank you for the hard work!

A shame mainline SMT doesn't normally have much to offer as story goes, because I feel like it'd be a riot were you to recap it.
It has at least Strange Journey (not Redux) and SMT4 in that department.
@@tonyknighton4019 I've heard that's the case, but I never played either because 3DS exclusivity and Christian parents are an incredible combination like that.
I was not ready for the guest appearance of low resolution rat spinning in the void, but it was a welcome surprise nonetheless
sometimes you just gotta open the asset folder and throw a dart at your monitor
Just finding these videos, I’m really enjoying it and would definitely love to see more of this if you were interested in doing the other games.
Keep on being awesome!
the quality of these keep going up
Thanks a lot for that ! Even without playing those game, they still learn you some stuff, that's crazy.
Just wanna say I love your videos and can't wait for P3!!
AHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
10/10 video, keep up the good work
Persona 2 EP is peak story. Best story in persona series.
so excited for the future persona 3 video
Extraordinary work Courtney, can’t wait to see what’s next in the agenda 🧡☺️👌
I love Baofu but the fact that a Hard Disk Drive is still intact after EVERYTHING they did in that half hour?? Those little disk plates are fragile, man! People use them as coasters and stuff cause they break all the time!
Great video, especially the editing.
I am loving getting that Persona itch scratched with your side of humor 👌🏾 top tier shit right there
Finally my favorite emo teenage angsty horror story starring Greek gods continue
I just feel like you need to know that whenever I get an ad for this video, it always happens at 11:38, which is part way through the velvet room bit, and it kills me every time!
I aways seem to find myself watching this when I'm playing with legos
So exited for this!
Nice video! Really liked it!
The Goat dropped another Banger 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I love your accent it just makes me smile the entire time

I would've never expect Ratchet & Clank references in a Persona recap, but I love it! 10/10

AWWWWW YESSSSSSS SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!
Ah, nothing like Courtney subjecting us to another fever dream with my morning coffee

We need more persona recaps
YEEEEEEEEE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT!!!!
it's time. Ladies and gentlemen, for eternal punishment
I could have sworn the Nanjo group was mentioned in persona 3
Fun fact, the names of the P1 cast in the EP PS1 localisation are semi-taken from the _very_ westernised localisation of their game of origin AKA Revelations: Persona. It's... it's bad.
You gonna do MGS after Persona?
Thank you very much for the video
