As much as I love SMT and persona it’s legit refreshing and exciting to see the fantasy game that’s been in the works for what feels like centuries. I am more excited for that then the remakes, ATLUS really brought out the bangers!
@@sebastianramirez9090also I saw Magnetite on below In-Game Currency (I'm guessing the currency of Metaphor isn't Macca since the symbol it's very different) but they retained the Magnetite currency (in case if you don't know, Magnetite is old SMT currency all way back in Original SMT in 1992 where you used it to keep the summoned demon in your party alive or being an negotiate bargaining chips with demon.)
Honestly, when I heard that they were cutting FES and Portable content, I was more worried about the ‘smaller’ bits like Aigis’ social link and the Elizabeth dates, since those made the game a lot more potent. In the OG IGN interview, they made it sound like ALL Portable and FES content was gone, and Aigis’ link and a bunch of other new social stuff was originally FES content. Aigis’ SL makes the ending (and the answer) a lot more potent, and the game feels incomplete without it. But in a new interview this morning they confirmed that they’re only getting rid of the Answer and FemC, and not necessarily axing everything from Portable and FES, so we’re probably still getting the extra FES and Portable goodies. It looks like they’re only interested in making a solid reimagining of the canon Journey, and I can totally respect it. I’m so hyped!!!
They're also adding new side stories in a "way back when" kinda tone, hopefully that means characters like the Strega trio will be further developed. Hell, it could even mean that the flashbacks we saw in The Answer might be featured in the main game (in case they don't plan to make The Answer for DLC, which I hardly doubt, or lock it away in a $60 re-release in a few years time... because Atlus being Atlus).
@@jomaq9233 FES and Portable too, as we can see in the trailer that the missing person board is in front of the police station, and that was a Portable exclusive. I’m looking forward to it!
@@MaxusFox23 I hope so too. Honestly, a revamped version of the Journey with all of the little bits from FES and Portable along with some writing boosts and new content would be perfect. Male SEES social links, fleshing out characters that could’ve used more screentime like Ikutsuki and Strega, and new events/content would make this an easy 10/10 for me, P3 as is is so good man! See, I wonder if they’d lock the Answer away with a rerelease. I get them rereleasing P4 as P4G and P5 as P5R, since those literally change the plot of the base game significantly. The story of Marie and Kasumi are intertwined with the main plot, and there are significant social links and plot-changing elements that make a rerelease at least somewhat justified. But the Answer just isn’t twisted into the main plot. I like it, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a very ‘tacked-on’ part of the game in that the Journey never teases its existence. It makes a lot more sense in my mind to make it DLC, since it’s not nearly as game-changing as the other rereleases. If they do rerelease it just with Kitone and the Answer, I’ll likely just wait and see if Crystahl plays it instead of doing it myself.
04:01 P3 Reload reaction 09:28 Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth reaction 13:00 Persona 5 Tactica 20:26 Metaphor ReFantazio So glad to see your reaction. :)
YES! When I searched for reactions for the P3 trailer I specifically looked for your video! Haven't played the game yet but can't wait to get my hands on the remake.
I got spoiled on P3 and P5T but I was NOT spoiled on Metaphor. I remember that game was getting teased in my senior year of HIGH SCHOOL. Its been a long time coming! Also P3R is hinted to have FES story additions like Aigis social link and such. It just wont have FeMC or The Answer post game content. Its a shame and I would be lying if I said I wasnt disappointed in that but the additions that were in FES arent flat out ignored (hopefully).
This was such a great week gamers are eatin' good this year! It's great for me seeing all the discourse around P3 Reload positive or negative and seeing all peoples thoughts. This remake is especially important for me because it's themes and messages are so ingrained in my core and the main thing I want above all else in this remake is to absolutely sell those themes and hit people in their emotions like a truck.
This is a healthy take, and I completely agree. I grew up with FFVII, and one thing I always wanted was to see the original game reach the level of ambition of its extended universe, because some of PSone VII... is rough... like ARCHAIC, slow, and the translation is a tad ableist too? Same goes for Abe's Exoddus versus Oddworld SoulStorm - seeing a studio commit YEARS of work to a concept that originally was pushed into a 9 month crunch development. Change is good, and the result is allowed to be different PROVIDED the heart and soul of the game is still preserved or built upon. And I think the hesitation people are feeling about Reload is akin to those two examples I mentioned. If P3Re can expand on the original without relying on different experiences in two different ports of P3, it deserves a chance. THAT is the exciting part.
as a fan of British comedy shows seeing richard ayoade as a fairy tale giant in Fable as the dave character was such a hilarious surprise. somebody should send some clips of moss from I.T. crowd for the next you laugh you loose.
I also agree about the answer's exclusion, but if it's made into future DLC, since it's additional content, then I wouldn't be mad, since it's made specifically to give players closure. I respect that you're very mature about the news pertaining to Reloaded.
Just FYI for those who dont know, the whole "No elements for FES and Portable" seems to be a mistranslation, the game will have elements from Fes (and I think from Portable as well, but I am not sure), just not the FeMC and the answer.
Hey Crystahl! I love your vids, but I especially loved seeing you give P3 the love it deserves! I still have fond memories of playing it on the PS2. Incredibly excited to see it remade with P5 tier visuals and improvements. :)
I'm overall so hyped for all of the Persona news. After the 25th anniversary, when they said to stay tuned for future announcements, I didn't think anything of it, but now I'm wondering if all of these announcements were supposed to be for the anniversary instead, but got postponed due to the pandemic? Seems like at least one of these was supposed to be available besides just the p3p and p4g ports, but the important thing is they're here now! When I first heard no FES or femc, I was super disappointed because I was worried they were just keeping the social links the exact same and not have Aigis, but according to some recent stuff it SEEMS like that's not the case? In that they're adding to and expanding on scenes, which could mean that they're reworking social links and/or giving new social links to the rest of the cast. Fingers crossed we get more news and trailers soon!
That Metaphor trailer has me feeling all sorts of things. I already know I'm going to love LaD8 and P3R, but Metaphor is something I'm actually really excited about just based on the pedigree of who's making it
"You could advertise your game any way you want!" NAKED PROTAG! It gets even better when they put all the announcements up from this next to each other, and Ichibuns is there in all his glory just fuckin confused like he's looking at the other games wondering why he's the only one naked.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who isn’t raging about the Persona 3 Reload not having Femc and the Answer. I’m a fan of both, Femc is a treasure of a protagonist, and the answer gives closure (like you said), which is always nice. But the main part I’ve always loved is the Journey, and now for it to be done in a way that would let more people access the story that has affected my life so much makes me so glad for others to enjoy it their own way
I can take or leave the answer as that would need a heck of a lot of work to be passable in the gameplay front. But no femc is definitely a questionable choice
Seeing Crystaahhl crumble playing through The Answer, it feels strange if we don't get it in any capacity, and given FemC was such a HUGE accessibility perk for return players going from FES to Portable... who knows... we won't know for certain until the final product is released.
@@jeveritt8398 Hmm... given how front and centre Aigis was at the start if the trailer, maybe the approach they take with this remake will offset those? I dunno, we shouldn't reach for pitchforks after a single trailer and 1 interview. I'm still keen to see what's in store.
I have so much to say about the P3R man. • Lotus Juice still sounding fresh after all those years, I've been waiting for more LJ tracks, I remember bumping some of his albuns a while ago (Only a Test, like a fine flower, carpe diem, etc...). • Makoto is looking sooo cute in these scenes, mah boi
Akihiko will be voiced by Alejandro Saab!! He also has a vtuber model as Cy Yu and some video game characters he voices are Yuri from FE3H, Cyno from genshin and his most recent one is Jing Yuan from HSR and i did not know this man's voice could go deeper.. I trust him to give a quality performance😊
I am excited to see P3R and how a lot of the characters will look like/sound like now. My top 4 I'm waiting on are Shinji, Chidori, Natsuki, and the Bookstore owners. Also, P5T is going to be so amazing. I'm glad that they are using the PQ model style, hopefully as a hint hint nudge nudge to them remastering/remaking PQ and PQ2 onto modern consoles (especially if the Etrian Odyssey remasters were any indication of them trying to figure a way to make it work). I'm looking forward to finding out more about the two new characters (in case you missed it, there is a second character next to Haru in the art) and seeing how the story unfolds. Also, hoping (probably unlikely) that the dlc story is an Akechi story.
3:26 "funny to think that this game thinks I have 33 friends to play with" Either she doesn't know how to count, or suffers from self-loathing... don't worry Crystaahhl, we love you 😁
Thank you Crystaahhl for having low expectations.... Unlike the rest of FEMC nation Also 4:50 Rinascere means to Be Reborn but idk why they put it in Italian
I've been wanting a high-grade P3 remake for years, but now that they're showing off this new Elden Megami Tensei lookin' IP I am *thoroughly* distracted by that instead. Like you said, that reveal went unnecessarily hard.
4:46 The most probable reason you don't know that word is because it's Latin. It means "to be born again" and is the origin of the English word renascence.
Glad I'm not the only one to call out Kenji being in the trailer before... well, literally any non-Kenji character. They're saying they're basing this mainly on the P3 base game, but I really hope MC has the option to just hang out with Junpei instead or something.
The timing for P3R could not be more perfect. After playing P5R it became my favourite game of all time and playing P4G at the moment is amazing. My brother had just told me that when he gets his new xbox he will be giving Me his old one which will be around early 2024 so like I said perfect timing
This is the thing with FemC: She was added by a team that had freedom to add anything as long as it could fit the UMD. Technically she feels way more as a P4 character and protagonist to me. P3 is about loss, the fact that she can break at least three pivotal points that make the story progress and give the character development to other people, just shows she was not meant to be there. Remember you will die. Remember you are mortal. Remember to live every single day as it's the last one you have. Remember to enjoy the people in your life, because they will not be here forever. Those are the messages the Original P3 wanted to give, and then P3P comes with a character that should be depressed and sad she essentially had no childhood nor a good life because of the loss she suffered, instead she's sassy, happy, bubbly and super outgoing, she's the complete oposite of the MC, and that's fine. But she changes the focus of the story downright to her own UI, everything is happier with her, you can Date a child with her too by the way, but also, you can make Shinji live somehow, which breaks Akihiko's character development AND it breaks one of the most emotional scenes of the game, it also breaks Amada's character, and the fact you can utterly destroy Jumpei's love for Chidori, knowing she lives as long as you push him towards the right path, giving the guy the chance to give her happiness, is just sad. Yes, it's funny to have her in the game, it's a fun thing, but it's not the story the writters wanted for P3. And as soon as P3P was released, two years after the survey from ATLUS asking what Peronsa they should remake, I said this to my friend: "This release means one of two things: Persona 3 Remake will never exist, OR, this is their way to tell people, FemC will NOT be in a Remake because of how much extra work that would be. An entire new game but this time instead of just images for a visual novel instead is an entire cast of characters and scenes and events in 3D just for her? Nah. They won't do it" And it's like I said: Persona 3 is about loss, and with her, most of the biggest pivotal parts of P3 can be negated and to me, if I was a writter who wrote a masterpiece, and someone else added a character to that that changes most if not all of the most important, deep and sad moments that makes the story memorable, just for the funzies, I would be angry as hell. Imagine if P4 added a FemC, but instead of being all happy and outgoing like Yu, she's super sad, depressed and was just a bad person because she can, making fun and interesting moments of the game super boring, but most of all, making important moments such as Nanako's scenes to be completely negated by some arbitrary choice she can do in her route, just to make people happy Nanako never goes through what she do, therefore, skipping the entire Dungeon related to her too. Some people would love that, but frankly, P4 story is good as is, P3 is good as is too. FemC waas a necessity for a boring game on PSP, but it's obvious she was never seen by Atlus as a definitive character, the fact she appears in Persona Q which is a spin-off game, but she don't appear on Dancing, shows that Makoto is the one they would bet on, that's why I was NEVER doubting she would not be added. If she was though, I would be fine with it, but reallistically? I even doubt she would be added on an extended version of the game that will eventually exist.
Good comment, but she does fit as well. Sometines, the happiest people are holding onto the most hurt. The energy she projects is a mask, a way to hide her true self away and try to spare others from what she feels. And she, as a concept is just a better character. She connects with everyone and can social link all her friends. Minato doesn’t give a shit unless he can fuck them.
These are all very good points, but I believe there are still merits to having FeMC that don't boil down to simply "oh it'd be fun to have her". While she does lighten the mood of the game a lot thanks to her unique soundtrack and pink colored UI, her route still explores themes that are present in the main game. Kotone may be a complete 180 from Makoto, but it's implied that her bubbly personality is a coping mechanism, if her dialogue with Pharos is anything to go by. There are genuinely resentful dialogue options whenever interacting with Pharos, which implies that when the mask slips, FeMC is just as depressed as Makoto, although maybe not as apathetic. The party member social links also go a long way in making it feel like Kotone actually gets closer to SEES as time goes on. Makoto is never shown to have any sort of real relationship with any of the guys except for Junpei (that's half of the cast!), and he can only pursue romantic relationships with the women. Thankfully the writing is solid enough to compensate for this issue,, but Kotone's social links add so much more depth to these characters, and so much more meaning to her sacrifice. Is Shinji surviving bullshit? Yes. Is Chidori surviving bullshit? Yes. Is Ken's romance bullshit? YES OH MY GOD AAAAAAH. However, I don't believe these are enough to ruin her, her story or the message the game is trying to deliver. Shinji is peak fiction for me so I'm biased, but her social link and romance with Ryoji is frankly poetic and one of the most beautiful things about her story, and I don't think it's fair to treat FeMC as a throwaway, because while her route does have missteps, it ultimately adds value to the game and the story it tries to tell.
As someone who is usually happy most of the time, I can vouch with the saying that even the most happiest person can be hurting the most deep inside. FeMC would fit that category if anything. She handles her depression differently.
Yknow I was surprised at how alright the xbox showcase was. It's definitely not my usual, but they were willing to reach out to a more varied target selection than usual
I mean from the news of P3R… makes sense P5T didn’t get as much press. I’ll still get both, but I’m definitely more hyped for one. And not you going through the stages: enjoying the music > enjoying the trailer > thinking about Akechi 😂 Edit: Altus really releasing a lot of bangers it seems 😂
Folks Imagine Yakuza 8: Ichiban stumbles upon a wild west cowboy and think they are legit still a thing. But it's someone voiced by Matt Mercer and becomes a summon.
Sega really decided "no this is OUR showcase now!" Between the triple Atlus announcements (I'm so excited to finally see Re:Fantasy, on top of my favorite game getting remade!) and Ichi-buns, I am SO happy right now
I respect the reasoning you had for not being mad about the lack of FemC and the Answer, personally it has given me something to mull over while I wait for the game
The Persona 3 controversy is out there and fans aren't happy about this decision. This is a Persona 3 remake a 80+ HOURS! game by the way and fans complaining already about cut content annoys the hell out of me because fans of Persona 3 are already at their early 20s or 30s and they should have jobs by now making money for themselves or paying for their school and if they don't then why are you gaming then. And as for the FeMC, ATLUS will most likely release a definitive version of P3R like with P5 to P5R which will probably release in 2025.
I'm not too upset about The Answer not being included with Persona 3 Reload, especially since it can easily be added as DLC later. Also, the FemC isn't a big deal to me either, because near as I can tell, the biggest draw for that is dating the guys, which I'm not interested in doing anyways. And although The Answer isn't part of the game, I hope they'll at least include Aegis' S-Link, because while I only ever played FES, I am fairly certain she had no S-Link in the original release of the game since her S-Link in FES was the Aeon Arcana, which is Atlus speak for "bonus character".
I can only assume that FeMC and, to a lesser extent, the original voice cast were the reasons why they also bothered doing a basic port of Portable not that long before a full on Persona 3 remake Now, if only said rerelease of Portable itself was better executed
I think one of the reasons the showcase was well received was that it had a lot of things for people who enjoy single player games. And at this point we are all a bit tired of anything that is a live service
I enjoyed Kenji because he reminded me of my own school experience and people I knew, but wow they really took his punchability and just ran with it with the new portrait and model. Guy looks PETULANT
I’m way more excited for the new fantasy game than the Persona 3 remake that will be yet another version of the game that is not definitive to recommend. Recommending a version of Persona 3 just comes with so many asterisks nowadays. “Well you should play FES for the Answer, but also P3P for FeMC. And now you should play Reloaded which is almost as feature complete as the others, but still lacking” I like the new game is just not connected to anything in that regard
True. By being its own beast, it may become definitive by being something that stands strong on its own. Is it weird that I'm the most excited for that reason? Maybe? But this is an interesting approach, especially with a STRONG new voice cast.
okay ngl the CP2077 transition to Skylines 2 really through me for a loop as I wasn't expecting it to be that seemless lmao like I thought they really changed the gameplay??
Do people really think she didn’t see the leak before this? Genuinely asking, I feel like it would be impossible for a persona content creator to not hear about this
Please please play Cyberpunk. I know it had a rocky release, but they've released so many updates for it to fix all the bugs, it runs great on PS5, and it's genuinely a story and a message that has stuck with me more than almost any other. I don't know if it would be your usual style of game, but I LOVE Cyberpunk and I'm so excited for the expansion
Really hope you do stream Cyberpunk. I think it’s one of the most touching games ever made with some of the most real characters and dialogue. Every scene hits the exact tone and feels it needs to. Also the world lore is incredible because it’s based on an old table top RPG
I kinda hope at least they do dlc for femc and the answer even though that would kinda suck but if we get it eventually i would be pretty happy i just felt more connected to femc over makoto and hope they will eventually add both even if it means another persona 3 version in like 2 years i'd be happy but still excited for the remake kinda hope they at least give some of the guys from sees social links tho

"You could advertise your game any way you want!" NAKED PROTAG!
It gets even better when they put all the announcements up from this next to each other, and Ichibuns is there in all his glory just fuckin confused like he's looking at the other games wondering why he's the only one naked.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who isn’t raging about the Persona 3 Reload not having Femc and the Answer. I’m a fan of both, Femc is a treasure of a protagonist, and the answer gives closure (like you said), which is always nice. But the main part I’ve always loved is the Journey, and now for it to be done in a way that would let more people access the story that has affected my life so much makes me so glad for others to enjoy it their own way
I can take or leave the answer as that would need a heck of a lot of work to be passable in the gameplay front. But no femc is definitely a questionable choice
Seeing Crystaahhl crumble playing through The Answer, it feels strange if we don't get it in any capacity, and given FemC was such a HUGE accessibility perk for return players going from FES to Portable... who knows... we won't know for certain until the final product is released.
@@Saxdude26 we know because atlus specifically told ign none of the fes or portable content is included
@@jeveritt8398
Hmm... given how front and centre Aigis was at the start if the trailer, maybe the approach they take with this remake will offset those? I dunno, we shouldn't reach for pitchforks after a single trailer and 1 interview. I'm still keen to see what's in store.
@@jeveritt8398 it includes fes content, just not the answer
Crystaahhl will always be the Reload FEMC in our hearts
I have so much to say about the P3R man.
• Lotus Juice still sounding fresh after all those years, I've been waiting for more LJ tracks, I remember bumping some of his albuns a while ago (Only a Test, like a fine flower, carpe diem, etc...).
• Makoto is looking sooo cute in these scenes, mah boi
Akihiko will be voiced by Alejandro Saab!! He also has a vtuber model as Cy Yu and some video game characters he voices are Yuri from FE3H, Cyno from genshin and his most recent one is Jing Yuan from HSR and i did not know this man's voice could go deeper..
I trust him to give a quality performance😊
Makoto's va is gonna be Aleks Le, the same person who did Luke in sf6
They already clarified that it will include FES contents (and more) except the answer.
@@seno2795 manifesting the sees bros social link 🛐🛐🛐
@@zeeyeah8427OH MY GOD, Kaggy is a perfect choice for Akihiko!
I am excited to see P3R and how a lot of the characters will look like/sound like now. My top 4 I'm waiting on are Shinji, Chidori, Natsuki, and the Bookstore owners.
Also, P5T is going to be so amazing. I'm glad that they are using the PQ model style, hopefully as a hint hint nudge nudge to them remastering/remaking PQ and PQ2 onto modern consoles (especially if the Etrian Odyssey remasters were any indication of them trying to figure a way to make it work). I'm looking forward to finding out more about the two new characters (in case you missed it, there is a second character next to Haru in the art) and seeing how the story unfolds. Also, hoping (probably unlikely) that the dlc story is an Akechi story.
RGG definitely has some explaining to do with the hilarious Ichibun trailer for the Yakuza 8 trailer, & I’m all ears
They are having a summit in a few days.
3:26 "funny to think that this game thinks I have 33 friends to play with"
Either she doesn't know how to count, or suffers from self-loathing... don't worry Crystaahhl, we love you 😁
Thank you Crystaahhl for having low expectations.... Unlike the rest of FEMC nation
Also 4:50 Rinascere means to Be Reborn but idk why they put it in Italian
"I'm manifesting FemC as much as I can."
*UNIMPRESSED KEN JUMPSCARE*
The best way to watch this showcase.
Well, apparently P5T will have day 1 dlc with "desired characters" as they say, so its probably worth getting
I've been wanting a high-grade P3 remake for years, but now that they're showing off this new Elden Megami Tensei lookin' IP I am *thoroughly* distracted by that instead. Like you said, that reveal went unnecessarily hard.
What's crazy is I was JUST Looking for your reaction on twitch bc I missed it 😂 midway through before the p3 reveal, you uploaded 🤣
I love how during a Xbox video I get a PlayStation ad
9:35 practically about a crystaahhl nosebleed moment XD for the trailer
2:10 Shout out to my man Bones for bringing some SOUL into the Xbox catalog. SING IT, BABY!
4:46 The most probable reason you don't know that word is because it's Latin. It means "to be born again" and is the origin of the English word renascence.
Glad I'm not the only one to call out Kenji being in the trailer before... well, literally any non-Kenji character. They're saying they're basing this mainly on the P3 base game, but I really hope MC has the option to just hang out with Junpei instead or something.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS WAS SO HYPE BRO
p3 Reload, P5 Tactica, and Metaphor, i am fucking HYPED!!!
Love your outfit, and the Nahobino plushie hanged there just because 😂
The timing for P3R could not be more perfect. After playing P5R it became my favourite game of all time and playing P4G at the moment is amazing. My brother had just told me that when he gets his new xbox he will be giving Me his old one which will be around early 2024 so like I said perfect timing
Okay that cutoff between Cyberpunk and Cities had me so (youtube) confused.
I didn't notice the cut from Cyberpunk to the next game, so I was very surprised when they showcased city building in Cyberpunk 2077
This is the thing with FemC: She was added by a team that had freedom to add anything as long as it could fit the UMD.
Technically she feels way more as a P4 character and protagonist to me.
P3 is about loss, the fact that she can break at least three pivotal points that make the story progress and give the character development to other people, just shows she was not meant to be there.
Remember you will die.
Remember you are mortal.
Remember to live every single day as it's the last one you have.
Remember to enjoy the people in your life, because they will not be here forever.
Those are the messages the Original P3 wanted to give, and then P3P comes with a character that should be depressed and sad she essentially had no childhood nor a good life because of the loss she suffered, instead she's sassy, happy, bubbly and super outgoing, she's the complete oposite of the MC, and that's fine.
But she changes the focus of the story downright to her own UI, everything is happier with her, you can Date a child with her too by the way, but also, you can make Shinji live somehow, which breaks Akihiko's character development AND it breaks one of the most emotional scenes of the game, it also breaks Amada's character, and the fact you can utterly destroy Jumpei's love for Chidori, knowing she lives as long as you push him towards the right path, giving the guy the chance to give her happiness, is just sad.
Yes, it's funny to have her in the game, it's a fun thing, but it's not the story the writters wanted for P3. And as soon as P3P was released, two years after the survey from ATLUS asking what Peronsa they should remake, I said this to my friend:
"This release means one of two things: Persona 3 Remake will never exist, OR, this is their way to tell people, FemC will NOT be in a Remake because of how much extra work that would be. An entire new game but this time instead of just images for a visual novel instead is an entire cast of characters and scenes and events in 3D just for her? Nah. They won't do it"
And it's like I said: Persona 3 is about loss, and with her, most of the biggest pivotal parts of P3 can be negated and to me, if I was a writter who wrote a masterpiece, and someone else added a character to that that changes most if not all of the most important, deep and sad moments that makes the story memorable, just for the funzies, I would be angry as hell.
Imagine if P4 added a FemC, but instead of being all happy and outgoing like Yu, she's super sad, depressed and was just a bad person because she can, making fun and interesting moments of the game super boring, but most of all, making important moments such as Nanako's scenes to be completely negated by some arbitrary choice she can do in her route, just to make people happy Nanako never goes through what she do, therefore, skipping the entire Dungeon related to her too. Some people would love that, but frankly, P4 story is good as is, P3 is good as is too. FemC waas a necessity for a boring game on PSP, but it's obvious she was never seen by Atlus as a definitive character, the fact she appears in Persona Q which is a spin-off game, but she don't appear on Dancing, shows that Makoto is the one they would bet on, that's why I was NEVER doubting she would not be added. If she was though, I would be fine with it, but reallistically?
I even doubt she would be added on an extended version of the game that will eventually exist.
good comment
I would like a female protagonist
Good comment, but she does fit as well. Sometines, the happiest people are holding onto the most hurt. The energy she projects is a mask, a way to hide her true self away and try to spare others from what she feels. And she, as a concept is just a better character. She connects with everyone and can social link all her friends. Minato doesn’t give a shit unless he can fuck them.
These are all very good points, but I believe there are still merits to having FeMC that don't boil down to simply "oh it'd be fun to have her".
While she does lighten the mood of the game a lot thanks to her unique soundtrack and pink colored UI, her route still explores themes that are present in the main game. Kotone may be a complete 180 from Makoto, but it's implied that her bubbly personality is a coping mechanism, if her dialogue with Pharos is anything to go by. There are genuinely resentful dialogue options whenever interacting with Pharos, which implies that when the mask slips, FeMC is just as depressed as Makoto, although maybe not as apathetic.
The party member social links also go a long way in making it feel like Kotone actually gets closer to SEES as time goes on. Makoto is never shown to have any sort of real relationship with any of the guys except for Junpei (that's half of the cast!), and he can only pursue romantic relationships with the women. Thankfully the writing is solid enough to compensate for this issue,, but Kotone's social links add so much more depth to these characters, and so much more meaning to her sacrifice.
Is Shinji surviving bullshit? Yes. Is Chidori surviving bullshit? Yes. Is Ken's romance bullshit? YES OH MY GOD AAAAAAH. However, I don't believe these are enough to ruin her, her story or the message the game is trying to deliver. Shinji is peak fiction for me so I'm biased, but her social link and romance with Ryoji is frankly poetic and one of the most beautiful things about her story, and I don't think it's fair to treat FeMC as a throwaway, because while her route does have missteps, it ultimately adds value to the game and the story it tries to tell.
As someone who is usually happy most of the time, I can vouch with the saying that even the most happiest person can be hurting the most deep inside.
FeMC would fit that category if anything. She handles her depression differently.
“(Persona 3) might be the only thing I care about” *naked Ichiban appears*
Yknow I was surprised at how alright the xbox showcase was. It's definitely not my usual, but they were willing to reach out to a more varied target selection than usual
I mean from the news of P3R… makes sense P5T didn’t get as much press. I’ll still get both, but I’m definitely more hyped for one.
And not you going through the stages: enjoying the music > enjoying the trailer > thinking about Akechi 😂
Edit: Altus really releasing a lot of bangers it seems 😂
Ichiban invades Hawaii and terrifies Americans by wearing nothing.
Alright. I'm sold.
Just started with my first Persona game, one hour into persona 5.
The real game play isnt started yet, but already like it.
I am super duper exciting for Persona 3 remake!!
Now i need her reactions to that day one dlc of persona 5 tactica just to see who is back...
Fable. Lets fucking gooo wooo. Also P3 and Xbox made an amazing summer showcase holy shit.
I was genuinely floored my Metaphor being announced I thought that game was canceled XD
Folks Imagine Yakuza 8:
Ichiban stumbles upon a wild west cowboy and think they are legit still a thing.
But it's someone voiced by Matt Mercer and becomes a summon.
18:31
"Don't need to breathe, so is breathtaking."
Keanu Reeves: HI
Sega really decided "no this is OUR showcase now!"
Between the triple Atlus announcements (I'm so excited to finally see Re:Fantasy, on top of my favorite game getting remade!) and Ichi-buns, I am SO happy right now
I love that one of the first things after seeing the p5s trailer was "was Akechi in that at all?"
I just realized, at 6:58, did Crystaahhl’s cursor accidentally land on a preview of P5T’s trailer…?😂
Lmao, not the Kenji slander
Honestly surprised that she avoided all the leaks
I respect the reasoning you had for not being mad about the lack of FemC and the Answer, personally it has given me something to mull over while I wait for the game
19:46 hey look, mom. I caused a RUclips moment. Popping into the middle of the stream paid off.
PERSONA 5 MEETS XCOM!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
4:03 Crystal makes Monke noise and jumps up onto her chair
The Persona 3 controversy is out there and fans aren't happy about this decision. This is a Persona 3 remake a 80+ HOURS! game by the way and fans complaining already about cut content annoys the hell out of me because fans of Persona 3 are already at their early 20s or 30s and they should have jobs by now making money for themselves or paying for their school and if they don't then why are you gaming then. And as for the FeMC, ATLUS will most likely release a definitive version of P3R like with P5 to P5R which will probably release in 2025.
I'm not too upset about The Answer not being included with Persona 3 Reload, especially since it can easily be added as DLC later. Also, the FemC isn't a big deal to me either, because near as I can tell, the biggest draw for that is dating the guys, which I'm not interested in doing anyways. And although The Answer isn't part of the game, I hope they'll at least include Aegis' S-Link, because while I only ever played FES, I am fairly certain she had no S-Link in the original release of the game since her S-Link in FES was the Aeon Arcana, which is Atlus speak for "bonus character".
I can only assume that FeMC and, to a lesser extent, the original voice cast were the reasons why they also bothered doing a basic port of Portable not that long before a full on Persona 3 remake
Now, if only said rerelease of Portable itself was better executed
I think one of the reasons the showcase was well received was that it had a lot of things for people who enjoy single player games. And at this point we are all a bit tired of anything that is a live service
"... I understand, original experience, its understandable..."
* *shaking fist* *
I enjoyed Kenji because he reminded me of my own school experience and people I knew, but wow they really took his punchability and just ran with it with the new portrait and model. Guy looks PETULANT
I’m way more excited for the new fantasy game than the Persona 3 remake that will be yet another version of the game that is not definitive to recommend. Recommending a version of Persona 3 just comes with so many asterisks nowadays. “Well you should play FES for the Answer, but also P3P for FeMC. And now you should play Reloaded which is almost as feature complete as the others, but still lacking”
I like the new game is just not connected to anything in that regard
True. By being its own beast, it may become definitive by being something that stands strong on its own. Is it weird that I'm the most excited for that reason? Maybe?
But this is an interesting approach, especially with a STRONG new voice cast.
6:55 For a split second, when you take the video frame-by-frame, you'll see some spoiler character👇
Nyx being mentioned
Well Holy SHIT. P3 Reload?? I never played P3 FES so... I know what I'm going to have to play now haha
That status menu drop is the sickest thing ever, I'm gonna pause so much, damn y'all Atlus
okay ngl the CP2077 transition to Skylines 2 really through me for a loop as I wasn't expecting it to be that seemless lmao like I thought they really changed the gameplay??
Do people really think she didn’t see the leak before this? Genuinely asking, I feel like it would be impossible for a persona content creator to not hear about this
We've seen Kiryu's cheeks and now Ichiban's cheeks.
Metaphor Re Fantazio was thankfully not leaked and the game was such a HUGE surprise and it looks incredible! ❤️
"As long as they don't take away Kurosawa's cheekbones--"
Stop being relatable for a second, please.
I this happy the remake exist, I love based story over everything. It almost 20 years old.
There’s something very funny about “Barbie the video game” only for it to be like a dragon 8.
Of course P3 is base game only, they got to sell you that DLC or expanded edition later.
The real question is are they gonna nerfed the Game Hard or are we going to see another Persona 3 Experience but now in Unreal Engine?
14:33 Looks like Crystal ... never saw it coming .. 👀
*Play Last Surprise 🎶🎶
Please please play Cyberpunk. I know it had a rocky release, but they've released so many updates for it to fix all the bugs, it runs great on PS5, and it's genuinely a story and a message that has stuck with me more than almost any other. I don't know if it would be your usual style of game, but I LOVE Cyberpunk and I'm so excited for the expansion
These reactions were great! Also the one f bomb missed was probably the best one😂
Calling it now, in 5 years we'll get P3: RELOADED
Really hope you do stream Cyberpunk. I think it’s one of the most touching games ever made with some of the most real characters and dialogue. Every scene hits the exact tone and feels it needs to. Also the world lore is incredible because it’s based on an old table top RPG
Holy balls the video is out already. You and editor move fast as fuck (boi)
Thank you so much for being so mature about the lack of femc and the answer, its really nice to see a take that isnt screaming.
Perhaps the FemC experience will be watching Crystaahl experiencing a whole new P3... 🤔
@@Saxdude26the real true FeMC
I kinda hope at least they do dlc for femc and the answer even though that would kinda suck but if we get it eventually i would be pretty happy i just felt more connected to femc over makoto and hope they will eventually add both even if it means another persona 3 version in like 2 years i'd be happy but still excited for the remake kinda hope they at least give some of the guys from sees social links tho
