Persona 3 - A Series Retrospective and Analysis

  • Persona 3 and it's associated media, from spinoff games to film adaptations, are far from perfect. The narrative's pacing isn't all that great, some of the social links aren't very good, a few of the vocal performances are pretty weak, the movies have a clear case of Aigis favoritism (not that I mind) and The Answer is unnecessarily grindy for no real reason other than it looks impressive when you say "30 hours of extra content" in pre-release material. And yet, in spite of these very valid critiques, this collection of releases ended up becoming my favorite series of all time. So what exactly is it that I love about it if there's so much that could've been improved or just missed the mark entirely? Join me in my Journey to find The Answer as to why Persona 3 holds such a special place in my heart.
    BTW, ya like those annoying puns? Get used to those lol

    Hey, everyone! Thanks for tuning in! This one certainly took a hot minute to figure out, but I'm really happy with the end product and I hope you enjoyed watching! Like I said in the outro, I'm genuinely curious as to what you thought about the video. The good, bad and everything inbetween. While I'm personally really confident in how it all turned out, the fact of the matter is that there's always things a creator will be blind to compared to their audience.
    As for the zombies fellas; the Shi No Numa review script is almost done and I'll be getting back to work on that in a couple days. I need a bit of a break lol
    And to think this whole project started because of me just casually mentioning "yeah I was playing other games oops" during my Firebase Z review last year and a handful of people said "ayo you should review P3".

    Finally, a persona 3 retrospective that doesn’t beat it like a dead horse over how archaic it is. Definitely loved your editing here, from the transitions to the trivia.
    I think my only problem here is that you skipped out on Fuuka’s, Akihiko’s and Koromaru’s character. Even if it isn’t as impactful as say Yukari’s or Junpei’s character arc, they still grow through out the year.
    I know you said that you’re taking a break from large projects, but I hope one day you’ll do a deep dive on Dr.Maruki. The little you showed us here makes for a great discussion.
    Overall, fantastic video. Thank you for showing Persona 3 the love it deserves. I hope with this video, more people can come to understand it’s meaning a lot better.

    I'm not going to watch this video just yet because I want to see the twists and turns of this game play out blind, but I wanted to drop by and just say that this review is probably going to be your best video yet from what I've seen on your Twitter and the sheer length. Keep up the fantastic work and I'm excited to watch this in full when I finally complete Persona 3 myself
    Update for the people who actually care: I just started FES yesterday, and so far I'm enjoying it, I'm at the first floor of Tartarus. I like the SEES (especially Junpei and Yukari), I'm invested in the premise of the Dark Hour and I'm intrigued to see what the game means by only having one year to stop the end of everything

      I also loved it and, while I dislike Yukari immensely, I can look at her with a different perspective now, even if it's just slightly different. I am also sad that he didn't talk about Fuuka or Akihiko as much, but I understand there really wasn't as much depth to talk about with them as the rest of the cast.

    Stories that focus on the character's internal struggles and pasts are always the ones that people feel the most connected to. There's a reason why characters like Jinx (from Arcane) became so beloved in their respective communities. Characters can be funny and goofy, sure, but the more you know about why they do that, the better they become to interact with or watch.

    Wow, just wow. Seeing all of this come together is beautiful and a culmination of more than a year of work and love. The presentation is absolutely awesome. Your talking points that were previewed such as Yukari in the Answer are refreshing as always! If I had to say one thing though since this was focused on S.E.E.S it did feel apparent Fuuka or Akihiko weren’t talked about much if at all. I get that Koromaru is pretty unexplored and Fuuka doesn’t have a lot going for her but I felt as though Akihiko could’ve gotten a bit of light, especially after coming of Ken but at the same time you were only talking about characters that really, as you put it, hit different ^TM. Aside from that honestly I would’ve liked to hear what you had to say about social links a bit more since they didn’t get the brightest amount of time though I could see why they weren’t included as they could’ve been seen as a side track from the main point of the retrospective (plus there’s already tons of videos about them so in a way it would be hard to say something original about them). aside from those nitpicks that I can see both pros and cons about, I’m glad I got the chance to have time to sit and watch this from beginning to end and to see a content creator I didn’t know would dabble into a series I love after viewing your channel as being focused on zombies. Although it’s possible we won’t see a project like this for a very long time if at all I laughed so many times, still got all the feels I got from the previews and more from the full package. I’m right with you in saying that P3 is a game that just sticks with me. In the end I loved this retrospective and hope by some chance you can find more pieces of media that move you the way P3 did because the presentation and passion is on full display here and I’m all for watching you talk about anything

    I spent almost half the runtime of this video crying my eyes out. Normally, I only ever see this kind of existential crisis-inducing stuff from guys like Jacob Geller. You know what I'm talking about, the kind that pulls your heart and soul from your body, minces them into a sausage, smashes said sausage back into meat, crudely reforms it, and crams it back in with all those little insecurities, imperfections, tragedies, and other negativities firmly back on the outside.
    I think part of what makes the effect stronger here is the utterly frank delivery you have behind a lot of the lines that made me tear up. Treating it all like it's completely normal...because it is.
    Please for the love of god, both do more and never do this again, I'm not sure my eyes could actually handle crying this much for this long.

However, I was much younger when I touched P3, so admittedly, I've forgotten a lot of those things within it that spoke deeply to my heart. This video helped me remember those things, and gave me a new perspective on the game that my current, more mature self can carry forward. Thank you!

This video is the greatest display of love for Persona 3 I've seen to date. And Persona 3 must be one of the greatest displays of love for human life to date.

    I love it. This was well worth the wait. While I understand not doing full on retrospectives like this again please don’t be afraid to branch out to do little digests of other media besides cod zombies. Your takes and viewpoints are so refreshing and I relate to a lot of them. Fantastic job rizzo and thank you for making this masterpiece

    In the time it took you to finally put out this video I played P5R and then went on to do several playthroughs of the Modern Persona games, almost finished the classic trilogy, and even started playing the other Megaten games....so yeah it's been a minute. But I'm glad your passion for the series a few years ago got me to give this series another chance, Persona 3 has genuinely helped me move past grief I've had brewing inside me for awhile. It's been a pleasure watching your magnum opus!
    Edit: I come back to this video to rewatch, see my old comment with a small error, fix it, and now Rizzo's heart is gone :(

    I’ve been watching this video on and off since it came out. Slowly but surely getting myself through the full 2 hours of content. First off, WOW! What a video. As someone who didn’t really know anything about persona (apart from your Twitter posts). This video was a super entertaining, informative and interesting video to watch. I can also really see your passion behind the video as well, and hearing about your thoughts on each character/major plot point was incredibly informative and fun to listen to as an outsider. Honestly this video was so worth the wait. Great job rizzo

  • @springrolls-tm5qj
    @springrolls-tm5qj ปีที่แล้ว

    Incredible analysis point blank period. I haven't seen one go this in depth with the characters maybe at all for Persona 3. And I'm glad you inserted some of your own headcanons and little thoughts about pairings hehe. And oh god the editing enhances the video so well, I always love seeing little graphics and descriptions this made me squeal like a nerd lol just amazing video as a whole

    @amefuyuu4983 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow this is genuinely the best persona (and possibly game review) I’ve seen!!! You highlighted every single point that was essential (and while not as important overall it would have been nice to have a little bit on akihiko, shinji, koromaru, and fuuka individually even if they don’t have the same depth of the other SEES members. Thank you soooooooo much for taking on this project and I’d be overjoyed to see any other content on the persona series made by you! Stay safe and remember to drink some water 💕💕💕

  • @reecenotryhs

    This was such a good watch! This video only served to reaffirm my love for Persona 3, and even opened up some new viewpoints on little details I didn't notice during my playthrough. Thank you so, so much for making this!
    ...But on the other hand, watching this has made me way too impatient to wait for my second playthrough, thanks a bunch.

    Finally went through the whole thing. This video is such a journey in itself, but I stuck with it because of all the information and the formatting you gave it. Excellent work. I'm looking forward to more videos, CoD or Persona related. For real, I'd love a Labrys video and not just because I'm a huge Labrys simp (okay, maybe I am). I hope more Persona stuff is also sprinkled into your other unrelated content.

    wow im just in total awe. this video is an absolute treat, from the infographics to the editing to the script- it was just incredible. im totally new to your channel, i just found this video after finishing my replay of p3 portable, but im so glad i got to watch this!! your analysis is so refreshing and heartwarming and it's so clear that you're passionate towards this game, and that's something i love to see in video essays. zombies may not be my thing but ill definitely keep up with your channel ^__^ (side note: you are SO RIGHT for including characterization from other media, its a great way to properly analyze characters in their full context.)

    Amazing video! I really respect the effort and passion that you put into your work, and this retrospective is no exception. You're one of my favorite people to listen to, and that you share the same interests of CoD zombies and Persona as me makes it all the better. Keep doing what you're doing :)

  • @HenryStudebaker
    @HenryStudebaker ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, that video only further cemented my belief that you are a truly detailed reviewer and analyst, especially with media that you're passionate about, as the research and amount of material related to Persona 3 that you included in this review was staggering! I am a guy who never played any Persona games, nor had any interest in playing them, but after this review, I'm now very interested in getting into the series, if it contains moments of heartfelt emotion and growth from the characters that exist within the game's world, since I adore a well-crafted story, and Persona certainly sounds like it fits that bill! I was moved by the story of this game, which is both a testament to your ability in relaying the information just as much as the game itself! Thank you for another amazing video, and I loved the funny moments when you referenced MGR: Revengance or Smiling Friends! I hope you're able to rest up, as you truly deserve it after an incredible project like this one!

    I really loved this video from start to finish. P3 is weird for me cause it theoretically shouldn't be my favorite persona game, but for the reasons you've started, it just is. Thank you for your hard and entertaining work

  • @sinner2133
    @sinner2133 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just finished watching the whole thing, in one sitting. Which is weird, because I’ve never been interested in Persona before. Honestly, I didn’t even know what it was about, but I’ve always enjoyed the quality of your content so I wanted to give it a chance… and I don’t regret it one bit. Great work, man :)

    What an awesome video. I played P3 for the first time following the Switch port (after knowing a ton about it but never getting to play it myself) and I’ve just been obsessed with it this past month and a half. Your analysis and editing are great. In particular I love to see people who appreciate the nuance and reality of Yukari’s character. I was surprised to find that your other videos are a bunch of COD zombie stuff, I hope you make more things like this in the future!!

    While I plan to pick up the Persona 3 remake when it comes out and go in with a fresh mind, meaning I sadly can't watch this video at the moment, I'm stoked to see its finally here regardless.
    Rizzo, never be afraid to feel proud of yourself for your work. As you yourself have said, you do it for you as much as you do it for us. And you don't even monetize these. I've wanted to see something different ever since the Logan review. Congrats on pushing through, and I hope that everyone enjoys watching it as you (hopefully) did making it.

  • @Austinstic

    This video was phenomenal, the effort you put into it must have been ridiculous and it really shows. I can't really put what I found specifically so incredible about the video into words but overall I think just the sheer amount of passion and dedication put into it just makes me like it that much more. The same could be said about all of your videos but this one really shines through. I know that you'll continue to make some of the best videos on this platform and I can't wait to see how all the videos you'll make in the future will turn out to be but I just know they'll be absolutely phenomenal, as usual. Sorry if that was cheesy but I admire passion whenever I see it 😅
