AHHH so many new people here! I woke up so taken aback by how many folks enjoyed the video! making me smile from ear to ear haha. thank you bunches for all of the nice comments. I’ll be playing live on stream later today if y’all don’t wanna wait for the videos to go up! Twitch.tv/ohinova thanks again for giving my content a try ❤
@@ohinovayou should take the voice class Steve Blum does. I think it’s like $100 but there’s like 40+ hours of valuable information about the industry, mid technique, and help voice actors. I got it when I was like 16 and it definitely helped. My voice even got naturally deeper because of it.
There where multiple times I was like "I don't remember that line being voiced" but it was you reading. I did NOT realize it wasn't the game. You're gonna do great 💙
I'm glad you had fun with this game, I really enjoyed watching someone's first time playing my favorite series. It was really cool seeing your reactions to everything, I hope you enjoy it even more if you play again
Reload is a good place to start the series because 3 was the first persona game in the modern style, but they added a bunch of quality of life features from 5 in the remake.
@@ohinova P5 is significantly easier than P3, so if you can handle reload then you’ll be fine. P3 originally was a difficult game, so reload is easier. If the game is too easy, I recommend moving to hard cuz the gameplay is really fun and it fits the vibe of this game.
Your panic attack when Junpei heard Yukari talking about "Last night", and your emotion when you saw Yukari beside your bed in the hospital were so funny and adorable!
to be fair. saying the they cut the female protag is misleading. persona 3 portable was extremely cutback from the original game. outside of the dungeon everything was just a 2d image and played more like a visual novel. there were no cutscenes either so adding a female protag was extremely simple.
I think this is a really good starting point for a Persona fan. For the longest time P3 was fairly inaccessible because the gameplay was fairly dated, and it kind of forced people to gravitate to the newest P5, but now you have options and you can choose to play whichever. P4 is in line for the next remake but honestly it's still super solid as is. P3 was kind of lost in the zeitgeist but now it's back in the popularity and it's a great time to be a fan!
P4 is actually LAST in line for remake. According to polls, P3 and P2 tied as most desired for remakes, with 1 following. So if ANYTHING, 1 and 2 will be remade before 4. It’s kinda funny ppl think 4 will be next when it requires a remake the least (you even acknowledge it), and the sheer fact they’re neglecting to consider P1-2 proves those games need to be remade first. And yes, according to well known leakers, P1 and 2 are being considered for remakes if P3RE is successful
i played portable right after p5r and it was a huge shock gameplay wise for me. I don't play many older games and i knew I'd go in with weaker mechanics but the persona fusing actually made me wonder how they could miss so many easy qol features that I took for granted in the newer games (like actually being able to select the moves the persona will learn, i have spent way too long just reseting the result to get the right moves 😭)
Please keep playing! Persona is such an amazing series and I think you'll really like it (your voices are so amazing!!) I discovered you through this and now I'm looking forward to the Rebirth playthrough!
The female protag was removed probably for 2 reasons 1: a lot of work, they would have to change dialog, add the dlc costumes for her, and some social links are exclusive depending on whitch character you play, also you can date the boys if you play as a girl. 2 they are trying to remake the OG persona 3, ever since p3 persona games have had alternate versions, like the first "enchanced edition" persona 3 had, "persona 3 FES" had a special post game story mode that isn't in this remake, and the female protagonist was only in the playstation portable version "persona 3 portable" and it's common for persona games to have enchanced editions released a few years after the original, persona 3 had FES and portable, persona 4 had persona 4 Golden and 5 had persona 5 royal, if you ever play persona 4 or 5 play golden and royal, they got PC, switch and xbox versions last year
With these remakes coming out I'm excited to see people who actually are going back to 3 for their first persona game and I'm excited to see your reaction to these games!!!
Just to clarify about the female protagonist of Persona 3: She was added in Persona 3 Portable so that players wouldn't be disappointed in not having the full 3D Persona 3 experience, and had differences to the point that the dev team considered the two campaigns seperate games in terms of workload. When Persona 3 Reload came around, the team decided to remake the base Persona 3 experience as much as possible - so, despite being given quality-of-life changes from later versions of P3 and other Persona games, the content exclusive to certain versions (the epilogue chapter from FES and the female protagonist from Portable) were not put in. Despite leakers saying that the former would come as DLC, they also explicitly stated that the planned DLC does not include the female protagonist.
Wrong, she is just not canon the original protagonist of p3 is Makoto Yuki, and plus p3P is just the same story with just minor difference there is nothing big
@@john_7000tf u mean minor difference The graphics are lower The game is in a visual novel style The characters don't have 3d models aside from tartarus and boss fights The answer isn't there U can't control party members in fes There's no quick travel in p3fes
The female protagonist was only apart of the PSP version of Persona 3, there are 3 verisons of Persona 3. The Original Persona 3, Persona 3 FES which was a Rerelease that had some quality of life improvements and a additional epilogue, then Persona 3 Portable which didnt have anything from FES but had its own quality of life improvements from Persona 4 like being able to control your party members' Actions and of course the Female Protagonist which was the Male Protagonist's opposite, who had a somewhat different story that still ends the same way as it did for the Male Protagonist. Sadly last i checked it was confirmed FeMC wasnt gonna be added to Persona 3Remake base game or as DLC but it will get the Epilogue from Persona 3 FES. Persona has alot of spinoffs and in all the spinoffs the FeMC has only appeared in 1 for the 3DS.
*Nova on stream* 🥺👉👈 “yeah guys i just don’t know if I’ll finish the game, if it doesn’t do well on TH-cam I probably will play it on my own” >most viewed video since Dead Island pretty pLS , keep playing Nova🙏😔
Lmfaooo watching the hospital scene with u is hilarious cause literally same. As she was talking I was like “I don’t fucking know you” lmfaooo but then we she apologized for dumping all this as soon as u wake up and I was like “ah okay, nah you good girl, I get it. Let’s get out of here walk home together,” and then she walks away 😂😂 doesn’t even wait to walk home together just leaves 😂😂 yeah the games characters interactions with one another can be interesting, nothing awful, but shit like this where ur just like “huh?”
The female protagonist was never in the OG persona game. Portable included one cus they cuz a ton of content and they needed an incentive for ppl to purchase portable. FEMC is a very different character with a distinct route, so even if it sucks she’s not included, it was going to be a lot of effort to put her in.
Just randomly clicked on this video and I'm impressed by how good your voice acting the random NPC's lines are! idk it just sounds really well delivered to me lol Just got to the part where you mentioned you were auditioning to be a VA. Wish you luck! You sound great!
Persona 3 is a really good entry point in many ways because it was the start of the... I guess modern persona games. Persona 1 and 2 and 2 were very different in many ways.
@@ohinova persona 1 and 2 and 2 were a lot more like classic RPGs, and a little closer to the Shin Megami Tensai games that they spun off from (Persona 1 even had first person dungeon exploration) They didn't have the social link/dating sim aspect and while Persona 3 has some very dark moments and themes the persona games that came before it were darker still. Persona 3 really set a tone and gameplay style that 4 and 5 used as their starting points. (even down to having long intro segments before turning you fully loose into the game) Persona 3 feels a little more rudimentary compared to 4 and 5 in some ways so back in the day it was easier to start with 3 rather than go backwards and lose out on game features you'd already gotten used to (although a lot of that has been ironed out in the remake). And it had some just odd choices, like not having social links with any of your male party members - in 4 and 5 the whole party had S-links not just the girls your character could date.
@@ohinova oh I keep saying Persona 1 and 2 and 2 because there were two Persona 2 games, one was the sequel to the other. Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, I find it funny to think of them as Persona 2 and Persona 2 but if you've never heard of them that probably just looks like a typo.
Nice to see you having fun with this game. I loved Persona 3, 4 and 5. Personally, I think 3 had the best story, and 4 had the best characters, but 5 was the newest and best gameplay... although reload might help a bit with that for 3. Just a quick FYI about Japanese. The honorifics are usually used to represent your relative status to the other person, or your relationship... so -san is the general "you're my equal or I don't know differently" one to use. "-chan" is usually used for people younger than yourself,, or in a diminutive way, which can be "cute" or can be dismissive, from context. "-kun" is normally reserved for people you are close to, but can also be used by older people or people in authority to imply "dependable" or "important". "-tan" is a forcibly cute version of "-chan" and kindof implies teasing. The term "senpai" is used to refer to fellow students or workers who are higher in rank than yourself, IE: upperclassmen or workers with seniority. The reverse would be "kohou" as a junior to you. Also, playing a western localized JRPG is always weird, because in Japanese it's always Family Name first, then Given Name. Which they usually flip for localization, but not always. And it's usually proper to use the family name until you are close to someone as well... dropping the honorific implies closeness as well. Last thing to note, don't always trust how the English voice actors say names! In Japaense, there isn't any implied stress syllable, like there is in English. But many voice actors aren't fluent in every language, so Iwatodai is supposed to be "Ee wa toe die" spoken at an even pace and volume, not "Ee WAH toe die" like the one VA said it. You had it right. :) Disclaimer: I don't speak Japanese well enough to converse, so I don't know exceptions or subtleties... just the basic structure and a tiny vocabulary. So someone fluent is free to tell me I'm wrong!
Thank goodness she’s becoming a Persona fan. I was worried af she wouldn’t get into it like that… 😅 thank goodness I was wrong. Cant wait for part 2! 😁
Bro when she said she is on her cloud strife shit holy molly I just started playing this game yesterday it it has been like a month in the game I just came here to watch but I've subbed
I'm glad you started with persona 3! It was my first persona game ever and I loved it. I didn't much care for persona 5. Persona 4 had the best storyline in my opinion but the characters is persona 3 are the best.
This game is sooo tuff, even when I’m not playing I’m watching other people play 😂😭 I’m locked in with this one though I’ll keep watching your play through lmaooo
The games are connected in that they take place in the same universe and future games have little references to old games. Loving the video. Hope you fall in love with the franchise like I did!
Amazing Gameplay!!! Keep up the great work. Great voice acting reading the NPC and main character dialogues. I'm gonna get into the Persona game franchise now.
I play these games in japanese and I'll watch playthroughs like this as my background tv in between my gaming sessions to kind of serve as my recap. So I'll be doing like housechores and when you start reading the non voices dialogue I swear I can't tell if its you or a character speaking lol. You're voice and mic quality is do good lol. Like I love your voice!
I absolutely adore streamers trying out my favorite games for the first time and have them share genuine interest with me. This remastered edition of p3 is amazing, so ready for more macaroons and crazy plot twists :) ❤
It was great watching someone new to persona play this! Your reactions were so fun (especially to characters like junpei lol) and I liked your voice acting for the NPCs too
This game introduced me to the series back in 2007, long before Persona was ever mainstream. This seems like a FANTASTIC update of all the mechanics while maintaining the look, feel, and spirit of the original. PS- If you do love this, P4 Golden and P5 Royal are the next 2 absolute MUST plays (both among the highest rated RPGs of all time). All standalone stories with very unique, powerful experiences. 😉
Finite is pronounced with the first I sounding like the I in the word "high" then night. Halcyon if spelled phonetically would be "Hal-see-on." Just in case you wanted to know.
Not sure if someone answered yet but about the rewind function you mentioned around the 15 minute mark. So let’s say you have a save file for 04/10 and it lets you rewind to 04/09. If you chose to rewind to the 9th and do things differently then make sure you save a different file because that progress is new. However your original save from 04/10 is still there if you wanted to load your first save file. Hope that makes sense.
"This is my first time watching a Persona p·ay through. Are they connected?" They take place in the same continuity, but the stories are unrelated. Igor is in each game, and there's one P3 character who is mentioned in P4 and P5. In P4 you visit a couple P3 locations. P5 has some P4 characters on TV a couple times, and posters of a pop idol that's in P4. A P5 character calls a P4 character on the phone once. That's about it. Oh, there's a Phoenix Ranger Feather man R TV show in each game. That's all the connecting material that I can think of.
Something a ton of people either don't pay attention to or simply are forgetting is that the FemC from P3P was NOT just a gender swapped version of the Male MC. She was her own character with her own traits, S-Links, gameplay, music, etcetera etcetera. The reason she was included as an option in P3P is because, since it was a port for the PSP, they had to cut a ton of the more intensive sequences (i.e. animated cutscenes, a large amount of VA, the 3D overworld and more) to fit on the tiny console. To make up for these cuts, they added the FemC as a way to still make it a worthwhile experience for newcomers and veterans alike. So when P3R was announced, everyone assumed she would added, but it's not that simple. Because of the limitations of the PSP, they literally couldn't make any of the scenes the Male MC had in the original release, so to do so NOW would require even more original content to be made than they already HAVE made for this remake. Yes, the broad strokes of the story were the same no matter which campaign you played, but almost all of the finer details are way different. They would effectively be developing two games at the same time. It sucks FemC wasn't included, but honestly, it doesn't bother me too much, as this is a quality remake!
Welcome to one of the best of the Persona games. I truly believe this one had the best story for sure. Without saying anything specific, you will learn to love Toaster-chan... Who or what is Toaster-chan? Spoilers 😏
@@ohinova gay crushes specially woman on woman are very common in Japan, Animes for example almost always have that. But if not mistaken is not because they are allies, or very progressive, I think is just a fetish for them.
@@ohinova Japanese aren't very inclusive they tend to be very traditional, but who knows maybe this devs are. nonetheless enjoy the game. loved your voice, I hope you get recognize into the VA world more.
@doyouevenpraise189 There could be another, not-fetish reason for it as well, girl crushes in one's youth is seen as not out of the ordinary in Japan. It's usually treated as "just a phase", though, I think.
Frenchie student here, so glad to see a passionate person playing a video game. Sounds weird huh ? but I admired your VA and loved this first part of your playthrough. You deserve so much more, keep shining even more :) thank you for this moment & all the best, fr.
most of the places in the Persona 3 were taken from Real Life building n places the game developer commute to work, such as the dorm , the sidewalk, temple , train station ... etc etc ... but some of the building or places has change now due to passage of time... especially the dorm... it used to look exactly as Iwatodai Dorm .. now .. its been rebuilt to a modern office building
Actually it's better to start Persona games from Persona 3 cause it's easier to understand, and this P3 Reload is so cool!!! Looking forward to your journey from youtube here❤
If you didn't already know, Persona is a spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series. An enhanced version of SMTV is coming out in June so if you like the combat and persona fusion in this game, that's definitely something worth giving a try :)
I just started the video and I immediately like your personality. Subscribed right away . Excited right now to see how you will react to the game that got me into JRPG 14 years ago :) .
Welcome….to the Velvet Room. I saw a comment in your chat that said that this has gotta be an anime. There is in fact movies of Persona 3 along with manga
Thid was my first Persona game and I fell in love with the series, including the wider SMT franchise. I mean the original version on PS2. This is a pretty nice remake with some welcome improvements.
I'm very happy to see new people playing this. Besides the DLC stuff, the remaster is really amazing overall. It's not perfect but the stories are very hard hitting and it has a great take on turn based combat. I think 4 Golden is probably the best overall for a new player but every single persona game is worth playing especially 3/4.
I was making myself food while i started this vieo and for the first like 20 minutes and i was so confused with the voices a few times because I didn't remember hearing them when i played only to realize it was you 😭😭 great vooce acting skills
Lovely gameplay and voiceacting. I'll be sure to watch all episodes you upload. It would be great if you finish the game. I'd also really enjoy if you would someday play Persona 5. Cheers!
About the honorifics: -san is general respectful and is more like Mr. or Mrs./Ms. -kun is for younger males, -chan is for younger females. -tan, like how Junpei calls Yukari "Yuka-tan" is an especially cute or affectionate way of saying -chan, and shortening the name to make a sort of nickname also indicates closeness as friends. sensei- is used for teachers, doctors, and some other highly respected professionals.
Coming from a Twitter clip of 1:39:25 - I need you on a FeMC/Kotone fandub asap, this kind of "I'm done with your shit /pos" energy would be so good on her.
New viewer, i enjoyed your take on Persona by using your voice. Im playing the same too, and doing a thing of playing to a certain point, then seeing if others like yourself are adding there voice to make it more entertaining.

"-kun" is normally reserved for people you are close to, but can also be used by older people or people in authority to imply "dependable" or "important". "-tan" is a forcibly cute version of "-chan" and kindof implies teasing. The term "senpai" is used to refer to fellow students or workers who are higher in rank than yourself, IE: upperclassmen or workers with seniority. The reverse would be "kohou" as a junior to you.
Also, playing a western localized JRPG is always weird, because in Japanese it's always Family Name first, then Given Name. Which they usually flip for localization, but not always. And it's usually proper to use the family name until you are close to someone as well... dropping the honorific implies closeness as well.
Last thing to note, don't always trust how the English voice actors say names! In Japaense, there isn't any implied stress syllable, like there is in English. But many voice actors aren't fluent in every language, so Iwatodai is supposed to be "Ee wa toe die" spoken at an even pace and volume, not "Ee WAH toe die" like the one VA said it. You had it right. :)
Disclaimer: I don't speak Japanese well enough to converse, so I don't know exceptions or subtleties... just the basic structure and a tiny vocabulary. So someone fluent is free to tell me I'm wrong!
Thank goodness she’s becoming a Persona fan. I was worried af she wouldn’t get into it like that… 😅 thank goodness I was wrong. Cant wait for part 2! 😁
Playing later today 🫡 hehe thank you Athena!
DISTURBIN THE PEACE!
LOOK INTO MY EYES!
Bro when she said she is on her cloud strife shit holy molly
I just started playing this game yesterday it it has been like a month in the game I just came here to watch but I've subbed
First time watching a video from this channel, but I agree with the other comment saying you’d be a great voice actor
First time watcher. More like listening while I do chores. Love your voice!
Great video. Looking forward to the rest of the playthroughs
I'm glad you started with persona 3! It was my first persona game ever and I loved it. I didn't much care for persona 5. Persona 4 had the best storyline in my opinion but the characters is persona 3 are the best.
omg im locked in for this playthru. ive played all and persona 3 is my absolute fav one, its so great! im excited for u!!
I watch this in the background while I work and I had to check because your voice over is so good I couldn't believe it Subscribed!
This game is sooo tuff, even when I’m not playing I’m watching other people play 😂😭 I’m locked in with this one though I’ll keep watching your play through lmaooo
The games are connected in that they take place in the same universe and future games have little references to old games.
Loving the video. Hope you fall in love with the franchise like I did!
Amazing Gameplay!!! Keep up the great work. Great voice acting reading the NPC and main character dialogues. I'm gonna get into the Persona game franchise now.
I’m now obsessed with you and must watch all of your content starting with this entire playthrough
👉🏼👈🏼 this is so sweet omg lol. I’d recommend the “This Bed We Made” playthrough after this! I was really invested and the story is really good (:
I play these games in japanese and I'll watch playthroughs like this as my background tv in between my gaming sessions to kind of serve as my recap.
So I'll be doing like housechores and when you start reading the non voices dialogue I swear I can't tell if its you or a character speaking lol.
You're voice and mic quality is do good lol. Like I love your voice!
I absolutely adore streamers trying out my favorite games for the first time and have them share genuine interest with me. This remastered edition of p3 is amazing, so ready for more macaroons and crazy plot twists :) ❤
It was great watching someone new to persona play this! Your reactions were so fun (especially to characters like junpei lol) and I liked your voice acting for the NPCs too
This game introduced me to the series back in 2007, long before Persona was ever mainstream. This seems like a FANTASTIC update of all the mechanics while maintaining the look, feel, and spirit of the original.
PS- If you do love this, P4 Golden and P5 Royal are the next 2 absolute MUST plays (both among the highest rated RPGs of all time). All standalone stories with very unique, powerful experiences. 😉
Finite is pronounced with the first I sounding like the I in the word "high" then night. Halcyon if spelled phonetically would be "Hal-see-on." Just in case you wanted to know.
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment let's you play as a girl (Maya Amano)!
And something else, but let’s not mention it yet 👀
Maya is best girl
aaaahhhh so proud of you Nova! your reactions truly make the game and playthrough much more enjoyable 💙
Ayeeeee excited for you to play one of my favorite game series, I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far
I love it!
You got me subscribed with those insanely great Voice Acting! NICE!
Not sure if someone answered yet but about the rewind function you mentioned around the 15 minute mark.
So let’s say you have a save file for 04/10 and it lets you rewind to 04/09.
If you chose to rewind to the 9th and do things differently then make sure you save a different file because that progress is new.
However your original save from 04/10 is still there if you wanted to load your first save file. Hope that makes sense.
"This is my first time watching a Persona p·ay through. Are they connected?"
They take place in the same continuity, but the stories are unrelated.
Igor is in each game, and there's one P3 character who is mentioned in P4 and P5.
In P4 you visit a couple P3 locations.
P5 has some P4 characters on TV a couple times, and posters of a pop idol that's in P4. A P5 character calls a P4 character on the phone once. That's about it.
Oh, there's a Phoenix Ranger Feather man R TV show in each game.
That's all the connecting material that I can think of.
Something a ton of people either don't pay attention to or simply are forgetting is that the FemC from P3P was NOT just a gender swapped version of the Male MC. She was her own character with her own traits, S-Links, gameplay, music, etcetera etcetera. The reason she was included as an option in P3P is because, since it was a port for the PSP, they had to cut a ton of the more intensive sequences (i.e. animated cutscenes, a large amount of VA, the 3D overworld and more) to fit on the tiny console. To make up for these cuts, they added the FemC as a way to still make it a worthwhile experience for newcomers and veterans alike. So when P3R was announced, everyone assumed she would added, but it's not that simple. Because of the limitations of the PSP, they literally couldn't make any of the scenes the Male MC had in the original release, so to do so NOW would require even more original content to be made than they already HAVE made for this remake. Yes, the broad strokes of the story were the same no matter which campaign you played, but almost all of the finer details are way different. They would effectively be developing two games at the same time. It sucks FemC wasn't included, but honestly, it doesn't bother me too much, as this is a quality remake!
Welcome to one of the best of the Persona games. I truly believe this one had the best story for sure.
Without saying anything specific, you will learn to love Toaster-chan... Who or what is Toaster-chan? Spoilers 😏
This is gonna be great! and now I'm hyped for you playing Persona 5 too...
The way your brain started to malfunction at 38:27 cuz the student has a gay crush. Classic 🚬🐤
I was so excited!!
@@ohinova gay crushes specially woman on woman are very common in Japan, Animes for example almost always have that. But if not mistaken is not because they are allies, or very progressive, I think is just a fetish for them.
@@doyouevenpraise189 I’m bi so I was really happy to see it! I’m hoping the inclusion here wasn’t a fetish thing 😭
@@ohinova Japanese aren't very inclusive they tend to be very traditional, but who knows maybe this devs are. nonetheless enjoy the game. loved your voice, I hope you get recognize into the VA world more.
@doyouevenpraise189 There could be another, not-fetish reason for it as well, girl crushes in one's youth is seen as not out of the ordinary in Japan. It's usually treated as "just a phase", though, I think.
Frenchie student here, so glad to see a passionate person playing a video game. Sounds weird huh ? but I admired your VA and loved this first part of your playthrough. You deserve so much more, keep shining even more :) thank you for this moment & all the best, fr.
Another banger vod and stellar voice acting by Nova's talented self! I promise not ask you to play Persona again on Twitch lol.
It might make a comeback, shhhh
Yo it’s crazy that sometimes I can’t tell when it’s voice acted by the game or by you! I had to look at your lips moving to tell haha.
most of the places in the Persona 3 were taken from Real Life building n places the game developer commute to work, such as the dorm , the sidewalk, temple , train station ... etc etc ... but some of the building or places has change now due to passage of time... especially the dorm... it used to look exactly as Iwatodai Dorm .. now .. its been rebuilt to a modern office building
Actually it's better to start Persona games from Persona 3 cause it's easier to understand, and this P3 Reload is so cool!!! Looking forward to your journey from youtube here❤
hope you enjoy the rest of the game!! p3 has such an amazing story
Persona 3 Reload is so good, better than P5 as P3 already had the best story, and now gameplay and looks are great as well with the remake
1:39:29 i burst out laughing omg😭😭 look forward to seeing more of your content!
I thought her voice was the actual game for a hot second. Her commentary and gameplay is on point. And she's fine AF......Subscribed!!!
If you didn't already know, Persona is a spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series. An enhanced version of SMTV is coming out in June so if you like the combat and persona fusion in this game, that's definitely something worth giving a try :)
Junpei hate will not be tolerated 😭
love your yukari voice!
I just started the video and I immediately like your personality. Subscribed right away . Excited right now to see how you will react to the game that got me into JRPG 14 years ago :) .
o gawsh thank you! So so sweet. I hope you end up enjoying the playthrough!
Welcome….to the Velvet Room. I saw a comment in your chat that said that this has gotta be an anime. There is in fact movies of Persona 3 along with manga
Youre a good voice actor. So many times I thought the dialogue was coming from the characters in the game!
Thid was my first Persona game and I fell in love with the series, including the wider SMT franchise. I mean the original version on PS2. This is a pretty nice remake with some welcome improvements.
Glad u are enjoying the game nova can't wait to u play Persona 5 🔥
Just found your channel because of P3R. I hope you play it till the end! Thanks
Finally a playthrough from someone who is completely blind just like me! I think this will be a ton of fun to follow :D
im new...my jaw dropped at voice acting ..🥺 it's fantastic
Bro, when i saw Yukari put the gun to her head in the opening scene; i was like, "whooooa. So it's THAT kind of game." Lol
More of this game. Plz
You would make an amazing voice actress!!! I just love listening to you reading stuff! O.O
Thank you ^-^
I thought wow we finally have a fully voiced persona game until I realized you were the one talking. 😂
Hahaha, naw I just like to do the voices
Persona 3 reload will be my first persona as well xD
I'm very happy to see new people playing this. Besides the DLC stuff, the remaster is really amazing overall. It's not perfect but the stories are very hard hitting and it has a great take on turn based combat. I think 4 Golden is probably the best overall for a new player but every single persona game is worth playing especially 3/4.
I was making myself food while i started this vieo and for the first like 20 minutes and i was so confused with the voices a few times because I didn't remember hearing them when i played only to realize it was you 😭😭 great vooce acting skills
Lovely gameplay and voiceacting. I'll be sure to watch all episodes you upload.
It would be great if you finish the game.
I'd also really enjoy if you would someday play Persona 5. Cheers!
you're a really good VA!
I love watching first play throughs of my favorite game. Might follow on twitch to see more
you shouldddd (:
@@ohinova just did 😄
About the honorifics: -san is general respectful and is more like Mr. or Mrs./Ms. -kun is for younger males, -chan is for younger females. -tan, like how Junpei calls Yukari "Yuka-tan" is an especially cute or affectionate way of saying -chan, and shortening the name to make a sort of nickname also indicates closeness as friends. sensei- is used for teachers, doctors, and some other highly respected professionals.
Coming from a Twitter clip of 1:39:25 - I need you on a FeMC/Kotone fandub asap, this kind of "I'm done with your shit /pos" energy would be so good on her.
Wow your voice, u can be a good voice actress
i can tell you got so into the game as soon as mitsuru showed up. it happens to all of us
Summing the first persona is always a great moment, have fun!
Dang, you are getting a lot of views on these new videos 😊
New viewer, i enjoyed your take on Persona by using your voice. Im playing the same too, and doing a thing of playing to a certain point, then seeing if others like yourself are adding there voice to make it more entertaining.
LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!
AHHH THANK YOU
Ahhhhh 😮 really hope u enjoy this game
