Next you're going to tell me that she's thinking. Now that would be an insane step to take.
Cant yell but curiously stew over it

Disturbing the peace once again...
Been rewatching your older KH vids. I’ve never played a single persona game.. still clicked immediately 😂
And Im looking into your beady little high carbed eyes once again
disturbing da beeeees
Thank you for nudging me towards buying this.....on sale eventually

Maybe the real villains were the breakfasts we made along the way.
I’mma never goin to a Walker Bros. after reading dis 😳
Came back to this to let you know this made me think the final boss was an egg…
@@havoctastic_ it looks like a egg with a crack to me 🤷♂️ it even has a moon yolk inside
@@alfie4234 Say this to someone who hasn't played persona befo- wait never mind we all haven't we've just tangentially interactd with it through let's plays
Me: Who uploads a Persona 3 video at 3AM?
Buns: Oh boy 3AM!
True it has to be during the 25th hour.
😂😂😂
Mother has come back from getting cigarettes.
I think what's incredibly funny is that both Mitsuru and Akihiko's english VA's (Allegra Clark and Alejandro Saab (Cyyu) respectively) both normally speaker higher in their natural voices. It's just funny to me since both of them absolutely could sound right for the character's ages...but the voice direction was like "Go lower".
I knew Allegra could pull off Mitsuru due to her and Tara working together for the past 5 years with the world of Fodlan, but Kaggy definitely should have tried his best to ignore the voice director in this instance. Especially with how jarring it is having Liam still being there as Officer Kurosawa since Grant is now Mitsuru’s dad and all Liam did was go even deeper as Kurosawa than he did as Akihiko.
At first, I thought it was going to be more jarring, but I kind of prefer Alejandro's voice for akihiko in reload, compared to Liam's. The main thing for me is that I recognize Liam's voice too much now, thanks to too much exposure. Meanwhile I hear Alejandro's voice, and I just think "This is Akihiko" with out blending different character voices together like I do for other actors (looking at you, respectfully, Yuri lowenthal)
@@retrofan93 someones been playing too much fallout new vegas lately
@@alyssarasmussen1723 Never played it! I did watch all the cutscenes for Persona 4 Golden, Persona 4 Arena, and Persona Q, So I'm more used to hearing Yuri Lowenthal in all of them as Yosuke. And I recently played the insomniac Spider-Man games in the past few years, so I'm also used to him voicing Peter Parker.
@@retrofan93 oh XD
BREAD MOTHER!!!
I almost didn't notice the kermit picture at 24:07 LMAO
What a brilliant way to hide spoilers
What? I haven't played P3 and i felt devastated when i saw Kermit, then now you're saying that was a lie too? This game sure is full of plot twists.
I can't believe he's dead, I never saw it coming.
Poor kermit. May he finally rest in peace.
YESSSSS! This is gonna be a good one, Savor the moment guys the next video we'll see will be in another 6 months when she remembers the password again
psst, its on her other channel.
@@liz_violet Yeah somehow despite having notifications on i never saw that giant edited 16h playthrough video, after I posted it I went and checked was so shocked
For context: i edited out asking about the FF16 Vods
Only six months?! Oh boy!!
My favorite part of P3 is that the animal sidekick doesn't speak
Funny enough, I read a theory that the non-human "pet" character is Aigis. And the fact that she appears in the dancing logo (when Morgana and Teddie appear in p5 and 4 dancing) proves it to me
@@LangostaV76 Atlus' based take on AI ethics? :OOO
@@LangostaV76 yeah each game since 3 has a "mascot" character for that game. 3 is aigis, 4 is teddie, and 5 is mainly morgana, but also joker whenever atlus feels like it.
I liked it when Fuuka did the "trust nobody, not even yourself" meme in the intro cinematic.
Speaking of an Atlas moment how about the "we aren't going to add the aegis expansion." Then releases it as 30 dollar dlc
10:17 the Ken coffee was actually all the way back in the OG Persona Q
I think the coffee thing is a maturity thing in anime
Also commenting for the algorithm, phenomenal vid. 👍
Persona Q was after that comic, though?
@@Volvagia1927 it was, but I just wanted to point out how long Atlus has had that running with Ken
In fact, since the original p3
It kinda is. Also it's implied at multiple points through out the story that Ken might be lactose intolerate
I believe it actually originated from the original P3 as regular dialogue, as I haven't played Reload and remember Ken liking his coffee black
rip Kermit, I cried so hard on that event and the day after. Reload perfected that scene for me
He's still looking for that rainbow connection somewhere...
She is back....... The chosen one returns
I am not joking when I say that I have this phenomenon involving SuperButterBuns where whenever I remember their existence and how they haven't uploaded in a while, they literally upload the same day or the day after they have crossed my mind.
I had never played the original Persona 3. This game was my first time through it. Last year during the winter steam sale I purchased Persona 5 Royal. That was my introduction to the Persona series. Took me a few months to beat, since I only have time to play at night for an hour or two. As soon as I finished P5, this game came out. I have never thrown down money faster for a game. Just completed it a few weeks ago. Just in time for the DLC to arrive.
You should also play P4G. Although P5R and P3R are now aesthetically the same and caters to modern newcomers, P4G's also a great experience.
Wait till she discovers the Its Just A Phase mod
I googled it, and it was so, so grand. This is what modding was made for, my old MCR-loving heart thanks you for guiding me to this treasure.
@goranisacson2502 anytime fellow traveler!
Absolutely fantastic work yet again Buns! Always a treat to see y'all posting edited vids, and the quality at play here was just on-point.
To be fair on the Aigis dlc, according to the devs that wasn't even approved of until like... 2-3 weeks before P3R launch cause they saw the popular demand
One thing about this current trend of remakes is that there seems to be an attitude that older games are no longer worth playing or have no merits at all. I have seen some people claim that P4 “desperately needs to be remade”. And no it doesn’t. It still is a great game. Hell I still believe P3 didn’t “desperately need” to be remade. P3R existing is fine, but the older versions are not “unplayable garbage” or whatever that some people believe.
What I think is that a lot of people say "remake" when all they mean is "visual update" which then gets muddled with people who think "this doesnt play like P5 so its bad and needs a remake". But personally I even prefer P4 Golden over P5 Royal because of how much more natural the social aspect flows in Golden compared to Royal. Would I complain about P4 getting remake on the scale of Reload? Ofcourse not, but its still a good and playable game right now and I would rather have Atlus focusing on making new games instead of just doing Remakes or Spinoffs
Ur opinion sucks
rofl I haven't seen P4 comments at all but I do agree with the sentiment that P3 could've used a facelift, since imho it was a bit dated even when it came out.
P3 FES is very dated to be fair. The old mechanics didn't come back because they were tedious and clunky e.g. the Fatigue system and downing yourself on misses. A remake isn't "needed," but Atlus would be missing out on a huge net gain if it still wasn't remade to this day.
@@inplane9970 The thing I find funny about P3, is that all the usual complaints with FES’s gameplay were fixed in P3P. The Fatigue system doesn’t affect you while in Tartarus, and the combat takes P4’s changes. And you can directly control party members.
She ponders, fetch the orb
I deeply love Persona 3. I have a giant Thanatos tattooed on my arm to remind me of the main theme of the game. I love it so much that I want anyone who might also love it to play it and enjoy it. But it was always hard to recommend, and became harder each year.
I love P3 FES the way you love your first car: the dented rim reminds you of an ice slide, the cassette player rigged into an aux cord was a revelation, and every stain and tear in the seats has a story to tell. But I also know that, removed from those associations, it’d be hard to get you to take it for a spin, no matter how great I promised it was. It’s a beat up old car to you, even if it means the world to me.
Remakes are hard. To successfully reach new audiences you have to almost by definition take away some of the things that define the game for the original audience. For those of us in love with the old car, it’s easy to insist it’s not the same ride if it doesn’t have the cigarette lighter in the dash, if it doesn’t have the exact same interior color, and if the drivers seat doesn’t wiggle over 80 mph.
Is it the same car if you build an identical version out of 2024 parts? Absolutely not. You can’t recreate it exactly. But does it drive the same? Can it give you the same thrills it gave me, the same sense of freedom and perspective, the same chance to fall in love? Yes, I believe so. Don’t mistake the worn-in seats and manual windows for critical features: they mean the world to you now, but they’re not why you buy a car.
Reload for me is a successful remake because it takes a journey I love with my entire heart and puts it in a new package, ready for a new generation to enjoy. I can hand it to a friend who I know will love it, and not worry about them bouncing off it because Yukari AI made them wipe to the floor boss for the fifth time.
I still have my version of the car, and I can take it out anytime if I need the peculiarities of it, to feel like I’m home. But I’m thrilled to have new fans here, side by side, ready to gush about this game that WE now love. I’m glad this newer, shinier version of the game made you fall in love the same way I did on my PS2 emulator a decade and a half ago.
Your first car metaphor is wholly dependent on your presumption of the most critical value P3 offers. Namely, that you make an equivalent between the non-critical "word-in seats", "manual windows", etc. and elements that were present in P3Fes that are no longer present in P3R. That in of itself is a hard sell to me, because you're ascribing personal, subjective values to objective changes, and I may not necessarily agree with those attributions. What if I subjectively argue that the objective changes between P3Fes and P3R ARE in fact mission-critical to P3's success?
The final cutscene in the game is a microcosm of this conundrum, based on what I've seen on internet discussion forums and the like. Would you argue that the ending cutscene in P3R still operates the same way it did in P3Fes despite the changes they made to that scene? Some may argue "yes" - that it managed to capture a meaning of finality, it carries the same themes/message regarding Death, etc. - but others may argue "no" - the awkward camera cuts and character running animations broke immersion, the script doesn't carry the same simplicity that made P3Fes' final cutscene so memorable and impactful, etc. If you ask me, those changes are not just non-critical - they are essential to the themes carried by P3's story, because the delivery and presentation here are mission-critical to ending. And of course, we can naturally debate about these changes until the end of time. Case in point, your first car metaphor doesn't really resonate with me here.
I don't think you meant anything negative about P3Fes or anything here - far from it. And I share in your delight that new gamers are experiencing the P3 story, regardless of if it's through P3Fes, P3P, or P3R. But when you say "don't mistake the worn-in seats and manual windows for critical features; they mean the world to you now, but they're not why you buy a car", it sounds like you're trying to convince everyone that what they consider important to the P3 experience, informed by P3Fes, is not really important. Just... be wary of that implication in your first car metaphor.

ACtually FeMC fans said screw it and are making a mod to put her in, and they're making quite promising progress.
She showed that in the video.
@@Deadwolf27 Can you give a timestamp? I can't find it.
@@thefoxesmind less than 5 minutes in. I'm working now so I can't go rewatch.
2:06 it passes v quickly but the red text around the article says "save us modders / modders save us". Buns is aware of the mod and is likely looking forward to it
@@plaza3825Does that really count? I’m watching rn and completely missed that
Something I think people miss, that I missed as well, is why kissing ass in social links gives more points. Think about it, would Kenji like you more if you told him “it’s a bad idea, give up” or if you hype him up? He’s a teenager, he’s not going to think it’s a bad idea to date a teacher until reality slaps him in the face. And he’s not going to understand that you were acting in his best interests until that realization comes to him. So he won’t like it as much if you try to shoot him down.
24:07 Kermit finally croaked. My heart's still tadpole of wounds from that sad scene, and you had to ribbit in. 😭💔
Yeah big shoutout to Yuko’s VA for making me break my Lovers only girlfriend streak for the first time. Finally real tomboy voices!
I fully believe they just extracted Yuko from the game to get put in the sound booth because my god it is insane how natural the delivery was.
Damn, this is absolutely crazy timing! I finished p3r a few weeks ago and am currently playing persona 5 royal. Persona 5 is absolutely one of my all time favourite games ever and I only started playing it because of your video about it. It genuinely helped me survive the darkest moment of my life and I have you to thank for that.
While I did really enjoy p3r, I just prefer the story structure in persona 5 and that persona 5 tackles dark but real topics and that you can symbolically fight back against them when it's not always possible to do irl
Smooth
Look at me
Im sliding all over the place
LOOK At me go... *Crash*
This bit fucking got me so good
I know some people are obsessed with FEMC but Portable was much much more than just her and many of the changes introduced there like the Tartarus rescue missions and Skill Cards did make it into Reload. The theme is also life not death.
Oh the sweet super buttery buns are back, it's a NEW DAY, YES IT IS!
buns pondering instead of yelling is like when the stern old man character gets serious and looks at a sunset at the edge of a cliff
So when I first played Persona 3 with my partner, the immediate reaction to Takaya was "that is Revolver Jesus." So to hear you also call him that is hilarious because prior to playing this game with my partner, I had not heard anyone else called him Revolver Jesus. I
Dude, everyone calls him Revolver Jesus, its one of the most popular Persona 3 memes
HOLY SHIT NEW SUPERBUTTERBUNS UPLOAD
P3 community: “We just want a definitive version of P3!”
Atlus: “We’re remaking P3 with the answer only. No FeMC.”
Modders: “Fine. Then I’ll do it myself.”
BUNNIFER ITS 3 AM HERE!?
Getting all Social Links in P3 is not a relaxing process like in P5
I had notes. I had multiple tabs open to make sure i got character schedules right.
Yeah unlike persona 5 where as long you max up your social stats early, and max some certain links early, you fine. However in persona 3 reload, even with removing force romance and making Jr easier to max, it still hard to max up the social links. This is because persona 3 wasn't originally made to be max unless you do a new game plus
Yeah, I had to use a guide in Merciless to get everything including link episodes
I'm mad because I didn't use guides and was THIS CLOSE to maxing out all of them and I would've if my stupid ass remembered sooner that winter break was a thing that exists...
P4 is also rough but tbh I didn't manage it in 5 as well lol
6:18 it's crazy how recognizable that note is lol (MCR - Welcome to the Black Parade)
I've missed your videos so much I'm so glad you uploaded again thank youuu!!!
The RUclips Comments: Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Buns?
Buns: Yes RUclips, but why do they call it oven when you ov in the cold food of out hot eat the food?
I like how in the intro cutscene the camera stops and waits on someones bag with a pride pin on it
Its like atlus is a confused but supportive dad pointing out a pride flag in a store window and going "eh? Eh??" Expectantly to you to show he knows what a gay person is and supports
most unrealistic part of the game, you really think japanese teenagers in 2009( when the game is set) were walking around with rainbow pins?
@@b.h.4249 quit using the comments as your own personal soapbox; they're objectively correct about the inaccuracy regardless of whether or not they're homophobic or an ally or whatever.
It also sounds like you're making assumptions about a person you don't know 🤨
@@sneakretster Yeah, you're right, I apologize for making such a rash judgement, it was uncalled for. I should think better next time before writing emotional comments while sleep-deprived. Thank you for calling me out on that.
We missed you! Always happy to see a video of you pop up in my feed 😁
I realize there's no way to prove this, but I wouldn't be surprised if P3R was also influenced by Yakuza: Like a Dragon of all things. That game took the idea of Persona's social links and turned them into Drink Links but also the sheer amount of things you can find out about your friends by just walking around, playing darts and eating at restaurants is kinda wild. So the fact you actually have moments where you can just chill with your friends in this game is great.
Persona 3 on the psp was my introduction to the series~ great seeing it pop up again, ill need to try this version~
Definitely recommend it. My first P3 was also P3P. I loved the addition of the Shift mechanic (similar to the Baton Pass from P5) the most. It was my biggest frustration since P5 was my first Persona game.
New buns video woop woop! First of all, one thing I really need to get out: Ken drinking his coffee black was not added by the localizers. It's in the JP Dub as well and it was in P3P too. There is a dorm dialogue where Ken asks FemC how she likes her coffee and in his reaction to her answer, he will state that he prefers black coffe. That aside...
Very, very solid review, I think this is the closest I've seen to my own experience with the game (the biggest difference is that my Persona journey has been P4+P4Anime in my late teens → PQ in my early twenties → P5R doing Royal and then marathoning multiple entries finally including P3P and P3R from Spring this year until now bc I fell into a massive brainrot hole I might never be able to get out of).
I've read/watched some critiques of Reload before and thus braced myself to find the game more meh, but ended up having a really good time with it! That's saying something considering I had just started a rerun of P3P to celebrate my birthday (I like to start a game at midnight to celebrate with the characters and stories I love) and then my friend whom I've been cosplaying P3 with just HANDED ME A COPY OF RELOAD a few hours later?? 🤣 So I literally played both games back to back.
The reworked music being a little weaker (Especially Kimi no Kioku), the color palette being a little too oversaturated and the storytelling being reworked to be a little too on the nose in some rare instances (mainly in the opening cutscene) are my biggest gripes with the game ignoring the giant ✨female✨ elephant in the room. The latter however I can accept in the sense that I'd rather have a whole high quality rework of her version of the story with notable differences in cinematography to the male protagonist version, her own version of The Answer etc. than just something half-baked (pun semi-intended) tacked onto Reload and I'd like to think that that's why Atlus says including her is/was not possible.
So yeah, imho people give this game way too much crap for not beinh fAItHfUl and ToO eAsY despite it being a really good entry in the overall catalogue of Persona and specifically Persona 3 games, ESPECIALLY considering how well they did with the voiced Social Links and Linked Episodes/Dorm Room activities. Didn't think I could love this cast any more than I did before but Reload was like: now you do 😘
Also, I only ever played the Japanese Dubs for both Reload and Portabe where - minus the Social Link characters - only Igor's VA changed (which you barely notice, it's UNCANNY), but it's all new recordings and they did an even better job than in the original, it's brilliant, ✨Chef's kiss✨, 💯
From what little I heard from both English Dubs, I think Reload significantly improved on all fronts, casting seems to be way more in line with what the JP cast feels like, new script saw some improvements and the acting also seems to have leveled up, so kudos to the localization team 👏
Hey, i just read your comment and it's so lovely and sweet!!! Also i am happy and surprised your friend litteraly just handed you a copy of Persona 3 Reload, he must be a huge fan of the games, along with you of course! I really liked your comment!!! Althought watching the Japanese dub still trips me off because i am so used to the English VA's of the Persona series, but maybe i should watch a Japanese Dub Playthrough of Persona 3 Reload one day!!! Anyways, keep it up!!

@@raphaelkgh218 Why, thank you! I tried so hard not to ramble, but I really just like the series so much, hehe!
Still not over the insanity that was getting the game for my b-day, my friend is an absolute sweetheart and I cried a little ngl. We've been bonding over the series (specifically P3) and have recently being cosplaying together (Akihiko and FemC) so that certainly was one of the reasons, I guess 😊
Anyway, I hope you give the Japanese Dub a try if you have the chance! Getting used to different dubs can take a while, but Persona has really good Japanese voice acting overall, some of them so unique that it's difficult to imagine someone else in the roles. (Teddie/Kuma from P4 almost feels like a different character depending on the language)
I switched to JP Dub as soon as I could, but I do admit that these days, I have the luxury of speaking the language and so I tend to play games just with the original voices in general. It's just a bit of a bummer that most of the English reviews don't really mention the OG dub, now that we have the option to choose 👀
@@SuzuStarlight Nice!!! I will look to watch a Japanese dub playthrough and hear the japanese VA's!!! And i once randomly stumbled upon a video with Teddie's Japanese VA voice in it, and i was very surprised!!! If i remember correctly, his voice sounds higher-pitched and quite cute in the Japanese dub version!!! He sounds almost like the sound i would expect from a teddy bear that's alive and conscious!!! Anyways, i like Teddie, thanks for your detailed reply!!! I love reading long, detailed and noteworthy comments like yours when i have the time!!!
Jokes on you bread lady! I used "Persona 5 for Beginners" to figure that game out and you know what!
You were very helpful, thank you so much for that. It was my first persona game and it was amazing
akihiko s voice actor actually felt the emotions of the "plot twist" on his moment
like it was from the heart
Hmmm... well now I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the FeMC mod..... and that crazy custom intro and song they made for her, Moonlight Daydream.
Another great vid, Buns. Happy to have similar thoughts to yours about Reload. Wanted to shoutout Zeno Robinson as Junpei, making him more endearing than the OG.
OMG! SHE'S ALIVE!!!
The Kermit picture edit at ********'s funeral scene caught me off guard LOL.
As an OG Vanilla Persona 3 fan who was brought into the series via that, and Digital Devil Saga when they were modern -- this iteration of the story, and gameplay for me, is the best hands down.
Always appreciate when Buns graces my subscription feed; it tacks on more days to my lifespan than even Koromaru
YUKO'S VA IS AMAZINGGGG
Only thing that bugs me about the remake is that some of the design decisions are just screaming, "HEY REMEMBER PERSONA 5? YOU LIKED THAT GAME RIGHT? WE MADE THIS ONE MORE LIKE IT."
I think the main let down for me was the difficulty to be honest and let me preface I don't want persona to be a hardcore JRPG combat sim. I more-so kind of wanted some modularity when it came to mechanics in the same vain of P4G's exp sliders but with damage and percentages regarding theugry's or trait percentages. I know that's asking a lot but at least for me it would make the turn based section a lot better.
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU! Or I guess so happy to hear you ❤️ hope everything is going wonderfully in your life forreal ❤️
11:54 I laughed out loud, bebe gives off the fruitiest vibes
24:08 that Kermit was a nice touch 😂😂😂
Getting this notification 4 in the morning is something alright 🤣
I only played FES for the first time half a year ago and didn't really have a good time with it even though I tried very hard to enjoy it. Your video convinced me even more that Reload might just have fixed most of my issues with the OG and I can't wait to give it a try. Thank you so much for this fun video, Tyler! And I'm sorry if I'm getting too personal here, but seeing you share your happy relationship with your wife over the years has actually helped this scared gay disaster surrounded by straight people irl so much. You two inspired me and gave me the courage to ask out my own now-girlfriend and I couldn't be happier with my life. So thank you from the depths of heart. Your work means a lot to me and always will. Wishing you the best.
I absolutely love what you said about the music!!! I was laughing the whole time when you mentioned the battle theme. Being a music teacher, I incorporate all of the persona music in my lessons, especially how each main game incorporates a major type of music p3: rap/rock p4: pop p5: jazz fusion. I really wish they could've gotten Yumi Kawamura to do the main vocals to the remake. I feel she did great in the original being able to sing the lyrics and give the game its heights.
That’s actually so cool. I think it’s great that you show the persona music in your lessons. I also like that each persona game has its own genre of music. I love them all! I hope your students enjoy your lessons. You seem like a cool teacher 👍🏽
I think one of the reasons Yumi didn't return for the OST is because her vocals have been struggling in recent years. Iirc she smokes a lot and during one of the live persona concerts you can hear her kind of struggling with Kimi no Kioku
Kermit the Frog's death hits twice as hard this time around.
In regards to P3R's "easy" difficulty complaint, it's likely the fault of DarkSydePhil, who did a let's play of Persona 3 FES in 2016 as a paid request from his audience, only to rage-quit at the final boss because he was too stubborn and stupid to realize his party loadout was not optimal for the boss's charm status effect... On EASY MODE! He raged so hard that Atlus actually saw and commented on his rage-quit video with the quote, "The charm salt is real." Sadly, said quote was taken down, but people did record it.
This moment was so memorable that it was ranked as number 2 in Secret Limited's "Top 10 Worst DSPGaming 2016 Moments."
One thing I loved about P3R is that the Social Links are fully voiced I hope P6 will follow this path
Disturbing the peace🗣️👁️🗣️ but not yelling
You know how better this game would be if i could be my canonically bisexual female protagonist and date my canonically bisexual female robot??

Superbutterbun deep drive video after so long of the dark days. This is a treat and i will say all your subscribers/fans really appreciate the video. Good job^^
Babe wake up another superbutterbuns vid
Mother buns video blessing me while doing a night shift gave me serotonin that unlocked my third eye to get through it. We making it out of the thirteenth hour with this one
I was SO upset when I heard that they didn't include the female protagonist because 'they needed to focus on additions to the game.' They could've waited to give a release date until everything was added. It just feels like an excuse.
What happened the devs of Reload wanted Reload to have everything at launch including FEMC and The Answer but the amount of budget and money they were given by Sega made it impossible so they decided to down scale the project to only focus on the main game and the FES content in the main game to have a good game that was possible for them to make. In fact Episdoe Aigis (The Answer) was also not gonna be included until Sega started asking most of there games to have a big DLC Expansion Passes and that's when it was possible to include it in Reload since it's own thing. So they were telling the truth.
@@St3w0nfem Mc was literally a psp game.she doesn’t exist in any other media besides a dance game. That was just a way to get people to buy a psp version of person. It woulda been cool but she doesn’t add nothing to the story so it doesn’t matter
@@fordv-e3c Yeah I mean beside exclusive social links, male romances, new soundtracks, small story variations and a female POV which is pretty rare from a Persona protagonist she doesn't bring anything right 🤡
Yeah I can image if they choose between the femc or answer, it seems the answer was see as better for the team. Because femc has alot different stuff that they also have make game again.
@@fordv-e3cShe doesn’t add nothing to the story? Could be wrong but doesn’t she have her own social links, romances, and interactions? Pretty sure she even has her own velvet room person, Elizabeth’s brother or something.
Edit: Also saying “she doesn’t add nothing” is a double negative. That literally means the opposite of what you’re trying to say.
AustinSV is a beast! Love his videos.
So refreshing to hear a positive take from a FES veteran. I never played FES, so I can't really speak to changes in tone or mechanics or have any nostalgia that could be ruined.
In this day and age of digital distribution and so many options, I think developers are more conscious of being respectful of the players time. A game can be hard, yes, but it can't be complete RNG bullshit that you can't learn from. So, when remaking P3, I think the de-emphasizing of dungeon crawling was the right move. From what I've played on Portable, it's a slog and mostly filler. We love Persona because of the characters, so the additional character-oriented content makes for a better experience instead of more and more dungeon tedium.
While there is no exhaustion mechanic, there is a soft-level cap for each block. You'll notice that as you level up, the amount of experience you earn actually decreases, but the game doesn't tell you. So, at worst, you can grind for as much money as you want, but you won't ever be in danger of being over-levelled by virtue of grinding a ton.
SHE IS ALIVEEEEEEE
Who uploads a review at 3 in morning?!
Buns:
21:27 but its ON KEY tho, its just one semi tone lower, but its still on key, you can hear SLIIIGHT difference, but its bc its a semi tone, not a full key
still sounds worse lol
@@marksman4416 its literally the same
Just want to point out that the FeMC mod for P3R is absolutely fantastic and worth checking out. The new opening theme fans made for her is perfect.
Bread has returned
Just realise it's been 5 bucking months!
Butters, bestie, make more content please, it's pleasant to listen to you yap on about things as I press the funny button in P5R on my Switch lite.
*MYRIAD TRUTHS*
This was my first time playing any version of P3, and I cried... violently. Very good, would recommend.
Side note (*with spoilers*), I did watch your old P3 video before playing this and I didn't understand Aragaki's spoiler. I thought he was just gonna quit. I didn't know 😭
I had tried to play P3 in the past but found the inability to control my party members weird and the fatigue system also not very fun so when a remake was announced I was very excited to finally be able to play the game and enjoy it, which I did! I played P5 og almost until the end of the game but then got distracted by other stuff and then played the port of P4 on modern consoles and some of Royal before P3R and really enjoyed it. P4's special to me since it was the first persona game I fully beat and if they remake 4 like how they did with 3 (upgraded visuals, sleeker/popping UI, modern persona sensibilities, QOL upgrades) I'll be even more pleased.
Holy sh÷t 9 year's ago?!!!
And here I was thinking man going back to the first video I seen from your channel the botw video made me feel old 😂 I was in 9th grade when that dropped
Actually, I always talked to the party in P3 FES and found Ken saying he likes Black coffee even back then.
0:22 Funnily enough i did so as well.
10:20 Ken talking about black coffee was in the original (or at least one of them). It seems to me that a little kid talking about only drinking black coffee is a desperate attempt to appear mature, same with hiding his liking of Phoenix Ranger Featherman, all of which is most likely a result of his trauma.
Having to pay 70 dollars for base remake is already crazy and they decided to add FES as an expansion that's actually insane.
the prophecy finally foretold.... butter mother decends from the great corner store in the sky, pack of ciggs in hand and a new for beginners video.... the world is whole again
I found that artistically and musically I prefer the original, even with the compression. I do think Reload lives up to the name but I do miss the striking greens and depressing colour palate of the original.
Man, I understand the pain of losing a ton of progress because I forgot to save. I pray for your recovery.
Oversaturation is such a trend in remakes though I’ve noticed and I kinda hate it. The 3DS remakes of Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask are obvious examples of this but also the FF Pixel Remasters and the Dragon Quest Switch remakes do this too (the pixel ones, not the new HD2D ones). I don’t get why devs think that more saturated colors makes things better when it’s giving 15 year old who just discovered Photoshop.
Super agree and it go in the other direction too much gray can also be counter productive cause then it feels boring or edgy there's a fine line for sure
AYYYYY ITS BUNS!! Missed your new vids so much! Almost since you started, I've had your best on perma-repeat. Much love! ❤
Korumaru. there is some people who notice but most people don't care. Korumaru plus all the other dogs are clearly actors making dog noises. i know I'm not completely alone but i do feel like im in a small bubble. THAT IS WEIRD RIGHT? Why did they do the dogs like this? the PS2 game does real dogs. i think it does. could they not find any real dogs? this is for both English and Japanese it was a choice. i feel like I'm losing my mind or that I'm in the Matrix
The reason a lot don't find it weird because it's just been a thing that has existed for a long time so you kind of get used to it. The reason most often, as I've seen a lot of people have said about this kind of thing, is just getting a dog behaved/trained enough to do a recording can be tough, especially for getting out emotional lines for the right moments.
According to the wiki, they did used a stock library of dog sounds and it started with the movies when they used a VA for Korumaru. So they just decided to kept up with it since to get those emotional scenes better again. While I see it can be jarring for you and others, personally, as long as it still sounds good I'm not going to be bothered by it.
Thank you so much for this video Buns! I watched your entire playthrough though your side-channel (just like every single other playthrough of yours) and kept on wanting to comment as if I was in the chat; you made this game be a whole new experience for me, despite it being so familliar.
A good video. I definitely don't agree with some points I'll say, just as one example I think stuff like the character episodes over stuffs the story in a way I think hurts more then harms. And yes I'm one of the people that is going to say the atmosphere is just worse.
But not going to act like I'm some kind of authority or pick apart everything.
I will say on the difficulty thing, I do think context matters here. I think P3 should be a bit hard because...that's kind of the point? SEES doesn't know what's going on for most the story, the Dark Hour is supposed to be hard to even be in, the characters are constantly butting heads. The game SHOULD fight you a bit, that's how the story and lore goes.
I don't think that should be the standard though. This is a context thing, not an absolute.
Agreed the atmosphere the original had was unbeatable. Even if the schooldays had sun and upbeat music, you still got this feeling of dread and futility from the gameplay to the characters. The remake is just shiny and the lack of moody 2d animations. ALSO WHY IN THE HELL IS THERE A DLC FOR EVERYTHING FROM COSTUMES TO PERSONA TO THE ANSWER. ATLUS MAKES ME MAD. I AM NOT BUYING ANYTHING FROM THEM.
Fun Fact: There actually IS a FeMC mod in the works and it looks very good! They already have a detailed model of FeMC, F Orpheus, pink UI, voice acting, gendered text, and soon social links and everything that would come with that.
Also, BASED YUKO ENJOYER. 🤩🤩
It is a tradition of mine to watch your for beginners guide before i trow 10 days of my winter break into a persona game. And then again once i made it.
I hope it gets out before dezember, but eh this here is close enugh.
don't let that distract you from how the arcana is the means by which all is revealed
23:26 i wonder what Cyyu would say if he heard this.
Honestly insane how little you’ll upload but all your loyal fans will come running. I remember watching your “for beginner” videos back in the day
