I just wanted to tell you while i won't be watching your series due to my own personal playthrough in order to avoid spoilers i would like to thank you for introducing me to these wonderful games. You Were the first instance of persona 5in my life back in 2017 when P5 released to the point where i stopped watching mid way just to stay fresh for the release of P5R. I wish you all the best and have fun with the game.
I remember watching your persona 3 walkthrough as a teenager! I’m now 23 and I’m just as excited to watch you play it again! Makes me realise how long I’ve been watching you do this
Fun fact: in japan if you ask a person first name or used it, it means that you're interested at her/him or both of you are a lover, also its for close friends
The scream is amazing, the scene itself...meh, the original got it better, the Thanatos fight looked way more "primal" there, probably because it was animated
One of my favourite Persona youtubers. It's actually because of you that I got soo into Persona. Thank you Johne! Never thought I would ever enjoy watching gameplay videos again until I stumbled upon your channel.
The only recast that is going to take some time for me to get used to is Yuikari. It is crazy to hear how much Tara Platt’s voice for Elizabeth has changed overtime. Was really happy to see that Grant George, Michelle Ruff, and Liam O’Brien had voice roles in the remake.
@@aidanhester80 for the time being, I am not the biggest fan of her recast. I mean the performance is fine, but I don’t feel it quite captures the character the way, Michele did.
Yeah...Yukari doesn't sound as good, she'll probably get better, Akihiko sounds pretty different, and Mitsuru sounds the same which I love xd, she has the same VA as Dorothea from Fire Emblem, so she already has that for me So Tara is still voicing Elizabeth?
@@Fermin-hw5pd yes, Tara is still the voice for Elizabeth. I agree that even though Akihiko sounds different, I still really enjoy the performance from Alejandro and think it suits the character. Allegra did such a great job for her performance for Mitsuru. I wouldn’t say I hate the performance from Heather Gonzalez. I just wish in the beginning that she had made Yuikari sound more distant and bitchy so that way when she does undergo her character development it’ll be more impactful when she begins to open up.
Yeah i hope he doesn't burn himself out he may be putting out so much but i hope he takes time in himself as well. Johne is a absolute legend and i hope he doesn't get overwhelmed
My mom’s currently in the hospital and this video was the distraction I needed while I was at work. Don’t worry she’s fine now, I didn’t have time to make a comment during work but I still wanted to express my gratitude since I was very stressed. We know now that she had an intestinal block that needed a small surgery. She’ll only need to spend a day or two in the hospital. Excited for this series!
man this gives me so much nostalgia. watched my brother play P3FES on playstation 2, then eventually played it myself while in high school. discovered this channel and have had all Persona playlists on repeat in the background when doing chores or studying in college. Can't wait to do it with this series too!
I'm so glad you uploaded! I've been looking forward to your playthrough! You got me into Persona when P5 first came out YEEAAAARRRS ago and I enjoyed your danganronpa and raincode videos too :) Very excited!
Man I was waiting my whole life for Johne to play Persona 3 Now on to symbolism. The 2nd card in Tarot is the Magician which is suppose to be inner potential So the reverse magician is potential that is left unfocused. The shadow design of having like a million swords and a mask without a face is suppose to symbolize that. See it has a lot of swords is it all over the place instead of together
I love first time playthroughs way more than walkthroughs for you. your reactions to things are so good. especially with webcam. thank you for all you do to bring us joy Johne
jonhe's new video style is going to make this so~~~o fun! i watched your p5 and p5r vids almost daily for a year and im glad your putting more of yourself in these!
Warning: If you played the game as a kid / teenager like me and just got it again - be careful with the "merciless" difficulty. Yes, there is a NG+ - but almost nothing carries over to the merciless difficulty. I played on merciless assuming I could carry my stuff over to merciless ng+ from merciless ng. Turns out I was wrong. I just "wasted" 104 hours by not using a guide the first time around. If you "just" wanna get all the achievements - do not make the same mistake I made. To me personally - it's like "ohhh nooo, I have to keep playing my favorite game of all times for longer now...bummer...". However that is because I am currently unemployed and have time on my hands. If that wasn't the case I'd be pretty pissed to be honest. Like, I already proved that I can beat merciless without any help. I started my first playthrough in merciless and beat it at level 97 with my Thanatos being my ultimate striker. He had Spell Master, Resist Phys, Almighty Boost as well as Almighty Amp and Morning Star (strongest almighty spell in the game) and had 3/5 stats on 99... Kind of a bummer I won't get to transfer all my hard work over. Not gonna lie. I'm "okayish" with it but...well...
heya, just wanted to say here that I really enjoy your new commentaries in your let's plays now, you put more of your personality on the front even in cutscenes and it's really fun! that's all Edit: oh wow- well XDD
I nver got the chance to play P3 because it was on PS2, and by the time i got into persona, my PS2 was long gone. Now with this i can finally play it, tried really really hard not to come to your channel because i want to do so blind, but I couldn't resist. This looks beautiful.
I was going to try to play this game spoiler free but GOD I was so excited I couldn’t help my self. Johne’s my go-to Persona TH-camr. Can’t wait for the next upload.
Maaaaan, thank you so much I watched all Persona 5 with your narrative and I really liked all of it I’m really glad to watch Persona 3 Reload with you too
For anyone not familiar with Japanese culture, at 19:48, it's considered very awkward if you use someone's first name when you don't know them on a very deep level. Only lovers or couples will actually use each other's first names, otherwise you'll always be using a person's last name in Japan. A Japanese person would be very surprised and feel awkward if you use their first name to address them if they gave you their full name, say in a business meeting.
Atlus needs to commit to releasing a brand new game every year. That way we always have a let’s play on the channel! If it wasn’t for persona, I would have never discovered your channel and you are the content creator, who helped me discover this amazing franchise, that I love so much!
Turn based RPGs especially a life sim hybrid is not an easy and time saving thing to make or even remake That is probably why very few studios make them and the very few that are making them are trying to get out of it
@@Handlelesswithme He didn't say Persona specifically every years. Atlus has a lot of RPG series and Persona itself is part of the massive Megami Tensei franchise. Later this year we're going to get another massive RPG from them. Metaphor: ReFantazio.
@@wintersong2266 I don’t know what is Atlus’s municipal is like but usually developers of similar genres share a workpool and to have annual releases they kind of need a second entire hiring firm in a different geographical location so they don’t compete for hiring employee And have that team work on game 1 while the other team works on game 2
@@Handlelesswithme my original comment was said in a tongue and cheek nature. I just always love when the channel has an Atlas let’s play, because John is always at his best when it comes to these videos.
Magician Tarot: When upward: Concentration, resourcefulness, action and creativity When reversed: Lack of concentration in its actions (resembles a blob with many hands holding a mask), ill intentions (chasing after Akihiko without thought or consequences)
I'll be watching this along side my first playthrough of Persona 3 Reload. I'll probably tune in after my play sessions. You were the one who got me interested in this one and 4. Glad to see you're covering it.
I’m surprised they kept all the interiors so… spacious. The high ceilings, weirdly wide hallways, all of that. I suppose it does add to the unnerving atmosphere but I never realized how weird it would look with updated graphics, huh.
Hey I don’t know if you read your comments but I think it’s still amazing that you still do content I’m glad to see your still uploading I love your stuff man 🙏
Was waiting for this to upload, i knew from the start i was gonna watch this channel's playthrough. please post a new video everyday of this game, i cant wait 😭😭😭
I remember the first time i played the game, it was P3P and yukari was all "just pull the trigger, no chickening out" in the intro, with a gun pointed at her head. I just had stumbled into the series with zero knowledge so i was wtf is going on?? Got hooked ever since. The redone intro just doesnt give the same vibes
I don't watch many projects of yours because of time constraints, but your Persona 3 walkthrough will have to fit somewhere on my schedule. I'm not going to miss that!
Ok… Is his name Minato Arisato or Makoto Yuki? Because we have two Makoto's in a Persona game. And there can only be one. For me, that’s Makoto Niijima.
Given that the Phantom Thieves had a spin-off last year and this remake is making the Persona 3 cast relevant again, I wonder we’ll get the Persona 5 Arena some fans are wanting.
Third times the charm! Today we begin our coverage of Persona 3 Reload leave a LIKE and tell me what you are looking forward to seeing the most!
I'm looking forward to a better tartarus
Your reaction to what has changed.
How do u like the new Voice Actors?
I just wanted to tell you while i won't be watching your series due to my own personal playthrough in order to avoid spoilers i would like to thank you for introducing me to these wonderful games.

The songs
I loved the intro. Especially the protagonist flipping through _intro songs for the other editions of Persona 3_
I like how the protagonist just like “huh, blood pools, cool”
That is pretty in character
@@Handlelesswithme In the movie, Makoto says he's already accustomed to the Dark Hour. That walk to the dorm wasn't his first time
Same
@@dustydave961 Really wow thx for info
Let’s be honest we were all waiting for this upload
Yep
Yup
Yessir
💯
Yep
I remember watching your persona 3 walkthrough as a teenager! I’m now 23 and I’m just as excited to watch you play it again! Makes me realise how long I’ve been watching you do this
Exact same position lol. Turned 23 last week 😂
Similar position too, except I'm close to turning 22.
Same, but I'm 20 1/2
Intro is mid.
Dude saaame
Persona 3 is pretty much Johne’s “Groundhog Day” at this point, perpetually trapped to let’s play the same game over and over lmao
I can’t wait til they rerelease this game with added content so he plays it again
He said he's played it like 10 times back in his FES playthrough
Theory that MC is so unphased bc he's also stuck in the P3 time loop of replaaying all the games every time a reboot/spinoff comes out
Fun fact: in japan if you ask a person first name or used it, it means that you're interested at her/him or both of you are a lover, also its for close friends
1:00:27 First off, the scream is SO GOOD, second the transition from orpheus to thanatos was so raw. One tapping the big guy like it was nothing
Aleks Le is the man!!
I am pretty sure that’s a reference straight from the P3 movie. I recall that scene right down to the T.
The scream is amazing, the scene itself...meh, the original got it better, the Thanatos fight looked way more "primal" there, probably because it was animated
Crazy to think last year we didnt even know this game was real and now its finally out
And that one leak? We assumed it was a fan made render...
@gab_v250 yeah man, its crazy how time flies
@@eggworth_IIIOne might wonder if the path was in the right direction
I think for this adaption, MC is written to be more sociable and less depressive
One of my favourite Persona youtubers. It's actually because of you that I got soo into Persona. Thank you Johne! Never thought I would ever enjoy watching gameplay videos again until I stumbled upon your channel.
In case some of you guys didnt notice, the guy talking to the mc at 20:55
Is the same va as the P5 mc Xander Mobus
NO WAY LOL
When the cast streamed this game today, they were geeking out when they heard Xander's voice!!
In the og game that npc has the same voice as Shinjiro, by the way
"that guy sounds like a pervert"
THATS JOKER FOR YOU
"I've been waiting for this !"
"...for 18 years!"
We getting Like a Dragon AND Persona 3 Reload, I'm psyched!!!
And FF7 Rebirth later this month!!
The only recast that is going to take some time for me to get used to is Yuikari. It is crazy to hear how much Tara Platt’s voice for Elizabeth has changed overtime. Was really happy to see that Grant George, Michelle Ruff, and Liam O’Brien had voice roles in the remake.
Actually if I’m not mistaken, Yukari’s new VA, Heather Gonzalez, also voices Mineru from Tears of The Kingdom
@@aidanhester80 for the time being, I am not the biggest fan of her recast. I mean the performance is fine, but I don’t feel it quite captures the character the way, Michele did.
Yeah...Yukari doesn't sound as good, she'll probably get better, Akihiko sounds pretty different, and Mitsuru sounds the same which I love xd, she has the same VA as Dorothea from Fire Emblem, so she already has that for me
So Tara is still voicing Elizabeth?
@@Fermin-hw5pd yes, Tara is still the voice for Elizabeth. I agree that even though Akihiko sounds different, I still really enjoy the performance from Alejandro and think it suits the character. Allegra did such a great job for her performance for Mitsuru. I wouldn’t say I hate the performance from Heather Gonzalez. I just wish in the beginning that she had made Yuikari sound more distant and bitchy so that way when she does undergo her character development it’ll be more impactful when she begins to open up.
tbh i think i prefer this lets play type. seeing your genuine real time reactions are very entertaining!
This video is so enjoyable, a massive amount of nostalgia, the voices, and then Johne making this even better with his commentary
Youre on an insane grind. Playing 3 games, streaming, and making commentary videos. We are eating good this year.
Yeah i hope he doesn't burn himself out he may be putting out so much but i hope he takes time in himself as well. Johne is a absolute legend and i hope he doesn't get overwhelmed
Im so stoked about reload,cant wait to see what happens
Default Persona Guy - I hope this lets play pops off just like the others, you deserve it
I was absolutely waiting for my GOAT JohneAwesome to upload P3Re video and man did he deliver. Let's freaking gooo.
Really excited to see you playthrough of this once again! It is so beautiful the way the characters look & hearing the full voice is great!
Ah yes, my favorite persona protagonist
Maoko Yaoki
The best persona lets player on TH-cam at it again! Can't wait to see you play this game again!
The voiced confidants is simply amazing, even the teachers, it adds so much to the game
Ive rewatched your persona 3 playthrough all throughout college, so im super excited to have this to watch now too!
My mom’s currently in the hospital and this video was the distraction I needed while I was at work. Don’t worry she’s fine now, I didn’t have time to make a comment during work but I still wanted to express my gratitude since I was very stressed. We know now that she had an intestinal block that needed a small surgery. She’ll only need to spend a day or two in the hospital. Excited for this series!
I still remember watching your p5 play through in 2020, thanks for continuing with p3!

Just watched the “103 facts about persona 3” video. Thank you for such good content
Your voice for the main character is so perfect I tough I was watching an anime episode
Man I was waiting my whole life for Johne to play Persona 3
Now on to symbolism. The 2nd card in Tarot is the Magician which is suppose to be inner potential
So the reverse magician is potential that is left unfocused. The shadow design of having like a million swords and a mask without a face is suppose to symbolize that. See it has a lot of swords is it all over the place instead of together
For some reason I never really thought Makoto having grown accustomed to the dark hour as a reason he never reacts to it as a kid.
Persona 3 FES was my first introduction to the series I can't wait to see how they handle the game now!!!
Trinity Soul was my first introduction
I was really confused when I realized the game series was nothing like it(jking)
Hell yeah!
Time to get my tons of popcorn that I made that will sustain me as long as this series
I was waiting to see you do a Persona 3 Reload let’s play. Nice.
I love first time playthroughs way more than walkthroughs for you. your reactions to things are so good. especially with webcam. thank you for all you do to bring us joy Johne

Mitsuru sounds so much like Sae that it's honestly unbelievable they don't have the same VA.
It’s funny how despite not Being the og voice actors they kinda sorta sound like a modern version of the Original voice actors
heya, just wanted to say here that I really enjoy your new commentaries in your let's plays now, you put more of your personality on the front even in cutscenes and it's really fun! that's all
Edit: oh wow- well XDD
thank you for saying so, Im not the best at talking over movies but working on it
Why is everyone telling me to go to bed early?!
I THOUGHT I HAD THE LAST OF THIS WHEN I WAS DONE WITH PERSONA 5-
Oh, the ends of the earth do echo with the souls of the dead, and so must we sojourn along these ends to set them to rest.

That opening was hands down one of the most amazing things I've ever seen
“This guy sound like a pervert” the fact that it’s jokers va makes that so funny to me for some reason
Dang it…
Guess I never saw it coming…
I'm SO EXCITED!!!!! P3 is like my favorite!!! SO EXCITED FOR RELOAD
20:45 I didn't know Xander Mobus (voice of P5 Joker) attended this school! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
So psyched for this game AND watch you play! Love Persona and seeing how much you like it too is awesome
Maaaaan, thank you so much
I watched all Persona 5 with your narrative and I really liked all of it
I’m really glad to watch Persona 3 Reload with you too
Finished the game earlier. MAN WHAT A (Re)JOURNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this remaster
Been waiting for this, I just finished watching your old P3 Let’s Play. Brings back memories
Been a long time viewer, and I gotta say, Johne your channel is the one that introduced me to the persona series. Thanks for being awesome

Aww, I’m sad you missed going to the rooftop on the first day, you get to see a certain timid girl there.
Was waiting for this to upload, i knew from the start i was gonna watch this channel's playthrough. please post a new video everyday of this game, i cant wait 😭😭😭
Igor has never looked so good
I’ve been waiting for this
I remember the first time i played the game, it was P3P and yukari was all "just pull the trigger, no chickening out" in the intro, with a gun pointed at her head. I just had stumbled into the series with zero knowledge so i was wtf is going on?? Got hooked ever since.
The redone intro just doesnt give the same vibes
Finallyyy been waiting months, manifested in twitter and everything for this moment. Welcome back to p3RE
SOOOOO happy you are let’s playing this!!!
I super enjoyed your original P3 let’s play!!
Nostalgic yet new, I love it so far
I don't watch many projects of yours because of time constraints, but your Persona 3 walkthrough will have to fit somewhere on my schedule. I'm not going to miss that!
This feels like a completely different game a very well done remake
Yes Johne, consumer all the flavor text, discover every reference and bit of lore
Ok… Is his name Minato Arisato or Makoto Yuki? Because we have two Makoto's in a Persona game.
And there can only be one. For me, that’s Makoto Niijima.
Still prefer the silent yukari in the original cutscene. Made it feel way more impactful.
When your so good at voice acting your viewer's don't even notice:
So glad to be here with you.
I remember being around 11, wishing I had a Ps2 to play FES but instead i'd opt to watch your lets play.
Just beat the game and I have to say this is the best game I have ever played
the fact that akihiko is voiced by my man alejandro saab is crazy but i like it
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
Can we talk about how Yukari’s persona Io is one of the best designed ones in the whole series. I fucking love it
Given that the Phantom Thieves had a spin-off last year and this remake is making the Persona 3 cast relevant again, I wonder we’ll get the Persona 5 Arena some fans are wanting.
crazy I was just watching your P3 playtrough
im so hyped for this let's play series and persona 3 reload looks amazing man
I can't wait for Jonny to play the persona 3 series
Ace attorney, P3R, Like a Dragon….. already a great year to be a Johne Fan
The playthrough I’ve been waiting for! Let’s go!
I’m so glad I came back to see this as the first thing I look up
dude you have crazy voice acting potential ngl
