- Persona 5 is a game that changed a lot in my life and influenced me in my life these past few years. Today I bring to you an unfiltered and unscripted ramble I recorded of these thoughts.

So I guess its safe to say the Phantom Thieves stole your heart?
Yes, yes they did LOL
I like how Persona 5 just came in the dark chapters of our lives😅 like i was kinda depressed one day before playing it and i went through it COMPLETELY blind i had no knowledge on what it would be, I played it for 3 months and it's safe to say that the phantom thieves of hearts stole my heart, I am a completely different person now like for real that game gave me a whole new mindset and point of view on the world and that's not the only thing that made me like it i mean come on there are tons of other things like the story characters and music, I just love this game and the bonds i made and strengthened while playing it were not only fictional, They were real to me and that's why whenever i feel like i need help but no one is there i look up to the phantom thieves.
This game is a masterpiece.
It's great how a game can sometimes do that to ya. Thank you for sharing that though, and I'm glad thia game had that impact on you
Wow... your video is just spectacular. My story of this game is completely opposite of yours. I started playing it right when I started my freshman year in high school. And it shaped who I was at the time and it still does. How you feel about this game is so so relatable to me and so many people. There's friends I would have never made. And things I would've never done if it weren't for this game. I'm currently a Sophomore soon to be a junior in high school. And I'm so happy with the things I've seen and done with my life. And what this game has gave me is nothing short of beauty. I honestly don't know who or where I'd be without this game. I sometimes get worried about what I'm going to do after HS just how you said. But when I worry about it I think of what Persona 5 taught me. And that's to keep moving forward and finding what you love in life. Just remember your not alone me and so many others resonate with you and your experience. Videogames are a crazy thing and I wouldn't be who I am without them. Amazing video much love and pancakes for you. And don't ever forget to Take your Time❤
This is such a well written comment and I'm glad you resonated so well with my story regarding Persona 5 and how it changed everything. Seriously this game is too good and I have NO idea what I'd do without it haha
I also keep this game close to my heart, but for another reason. It was close to a time of an euthanasia I went through for a stray kitten that I had recently took in, due to severe neurological FIP. Unfortunately, we couldn't come through to the other end since its condition worsened in the few brief days before the procedure itself. Shortly after that, I decided to give it a try and sunk about 106 hours into the vanilla version in about 2 weeks, as that was the only one I had access to at the time. Definitely one of the most amazing and memorable experiences I've had, and that's not even engaging in most of the side content. About the English VA, hands down the best in any jRPG. They nailed each and every scene.
This game is truly something else…..hearing you ramble really hit me…in a good way. Persona 5 is truly not only my favorite game but it’s just so special. I’m glad seeing that there are other people who’s life’s been changed too! 😄 btw you earned a new sub today! The topics you cover are so interesting! 😁
Thank you! Sorry for the laaaaaate reply been out and about so.... But Persona 4/5 changed my life in many ways :'D
@@VirtualMementos no worries! Keep it going and you’ll go far! Your videos are really interesting!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I’m 53 and haven’t played many JRPGs, but since this was added to Xbox GamePass, I figured i would try it out.
It’s quite impressive. My only complaint is that the dialogue is often not written well. But this could be a style that is common with anime or manga. I’m not sure. In any case, it’s still a very fun, if unique, experience.
I think dialouge like this is par for the course in most games like this, in my eyes I don't really mind it seeing as these are highschool students haha. Still the fact you are interested in a JRPG like this at 53 is amazing and I hope you have a good time with this one!
When I first played persona 5 I felt jaded and like I was stuck in a negative loop. I was struggling in college and in life. I had grown a really distorted perception of my entire life after discovering really uncomfortable truths simultaneously about the past which was impacting the present, I strangely had just read Carl Jung before I played persona 5 and became obsessed with his work on the shadow, the unconscious and the persona and I was already sold on the game when I saw these concepts were built into its design as well as its visual and musical aesthetic but when I got to Yusuke’s arc, the emotional resonance I felt elevated this game and then when I got to Futaba’s arc for similar reasons but even more so this game became the greatest game I’ve ever played and one of my favourite pieces of media. I related so much to Yusuke and Futaba but particularly Futaba. My mother was the centre of my world and when she died I struggled with guilt and depression and am autistic so it made me even more isolated than I already felt, my dad left after she died and a year after they both died I learned how my entire understanding of my childhood and who they were was entirely fiction, other things happened too and I went through months of not knowing who to trust and having a completely skewed and dark view of reality. Seeing Futaba overcome her distortion still deeply affects me when I think about it. This game really came at the right time for me and I will always love it.
Video games are, indeed, pretty cool! What a heartfelt video. I would love to hear more about how P5 helped you with managing time if you wouldn't mind it. I've had many pieces of media change and motivate me over the years, especially since I started appreciating media in general as art rather than just a product to be consumed, and I think it's outright fascinating to hear people talk about how they have been influenced!
Ya know that doesn't like a bad idea. I mean I'm still learning how to manage my time better and I have some surefire ways I do it so when I can get around to it after my next two projects then absolutely! c: Video games are like any art and inspire lots and this game is at the top of the list
Had no knowledge of persona at all before this, but glad I know something about the journey the game has gone through with you
Now subbed. Ty. 2weeks on release and I've only just opened mementos... amazing game so far
Taking your time is important. Enjoy it c:
Well I came her because I was curious (door sent the video on his server) and I came back feeling inspired and wanting me too make videos even more
I'm glad it helped! Go out there and make the coolest videos you can c:
I mean I'm so happy this video came up in my recommended. Wow. Love it. I think we would have a lot to talk about regarding how this game impacted our lives. Thanks for putting this out there. Currently 40 hours into my first playthrough on PC, second playthough overall
No problem! Glad you found your way to the video and channel c: Keep at it though, the game gets even better the second time coming I swear lol
Wonderful video, and I’d like to share my side as well.
I finished P5R earlier this year on PS5 before the update. I had known some of the well spoiled moments, though mostly out of context (good ol pancake boy), but the majority of the details were missing. I had wanted to play it for ages, as what I’d seen really spoke to me. It dragged me through the highs and lows, and I still think about it on the regular, even after eventually starting P4G.
I was, and still am, at a similar transitional phase. Not nessicarily the end, but the almost there. Persona 5 Royal changed that. It’s no longer “almost there”, it’s about enjoying the time I have left before the shift. I took “take your time” to heart. I’ve found myself going out of my way more to communicate with friends. I’d consider myself more open in general, actually. More than ever before Ive felt determined to actually find something I want to do next. Before, it was just waiting for the day to end, but now, I’m actually trying to live through it.
Call it corny, but I feel that the phantom thieves stole my heart. I wouldn’t say it solved every problem, but I feel my life has been changed for the better. Over the course of this year, P5R became my favorite video game of all time. I can’t wait to see if it does the same for so many others with the new ports.
Sorry for the rant and all, but you got me inspired to write this out. Genuinely really great video.
Firstly thank you for sharing all that, even if you might think it was a lot, it still is special you decided to type any of that out. I'm glad my ramble inspired you to look inward on a game you played and on a series in general along with how it impacted you.
I relate in a lot areas and regardless of how we ended up as fans of Persona, what matters is that we both find a deeper meaning in this work of art. I surely can't type that much due to just now waking up, but keep enjoying Persona
that was a very nicely well written and thought-out video essay. Surprising seeing you only have a little less than 500 subscribers when the quality is so high. Wishing you success in the youtube world, friend, and thank you for such a well made video. Have a great rest of your week!
Thank you so much! Soon hitting 500 so glad to have you here beforehand c: This was actually fully unscripted but I guess that's a good thing haha
I’m not really sure if this is similar to you, I brought P5R around June this year when I was in a bad place mentally, this game helped me a lot but im not sure why, I might have had something to do with transition from college to university or the loneliness caused by my isolation but I can look back on it with at least a glimmer of hope. I am still dealing with the isolation and haven’t fully finished the game yet mainly because of time and other responsibilities but it was good that it acted as an escape from what I was feeling, I even got to apply some of it to my work.
this is such an incredible video. so glad to find this channel. musical timing, vocal delivery, script, everything coalesced together in a manner befitting of a million subscriber channel, keeping it to 9 minutes no less. thank you. absolutely class.
Thank you so much for the high praise
@@VirtualMementos icl I fully thought it was a scripted video where you were so chill that it sounded like a conversation, but the fact that it was unscripted and stayed so directed and consistent is actually mental!
@@SakkaSays I just had lots on my mind :)
Whenever I start making games, this one is just way too special for me not to draw inspiration from if I decide to lean towards the JRPG type of game.
If you do, I bet it will be fantastic
Love the passion! I am playing it for the first time on Switch and have fallen into it.
That's good to hear!! I'm glad you're enjoying so much :')
Genuinely shocked when I saw this video was far below 50k views, much less 700! Keep it up man :-)
thank you so much :)
I remember wanting to play this game back in high school. Almost going as far to buy it for my PS3.
Fast forward 5-6 years and I’m playing Persona 5 on GamePass on my Series X. I’m like 30 hours in and this game feels very personal. I’m not normally a rpg guy, but this game feels different
I'm glad! Persona 5 in my eyes is much more than just your run of the mill JRPG and defines itself well enough. Take your time, drink some water, and have fun 👌🏻
I've heard that Royal balanced things to be too easy in some areas. Is there an option to enable the original difficulty?
Their might be a better hard mode mod being made but last time I checked no. I would try to look into Gamebanana for any mods that could sort of bring that back. I have personal gripes with the difficulty at points where I feel like some parts were harder than before but some were much easier. Regardless it's a great JRPG tho
Imo no, because the problem isn't actually that Royal rebalanced things (a lot of things are actually significantly more challenging on paper in Royal), it's just that they give you way more options now. The balance imo is better in Royal (Technical damage is more useful, so especially in the later game, there are way more enemies with no weaknesses that really force you to use ailments and technical damage in a way the original didn't). But now you have Persona traits and far more ways to create crazy personas, as well as showtime attacks, and Baton Passes are better in Royal.
My advice would be play on Hard, it's technically the hardest difficulty in Royal, as they changed Merciless (Merciless ups the crit/weakness damage a ton, actually making the game significantly easier than Hard mode).
I am really happy that people from all platforms can now play this absolute gem of a game.
I know right? It's great for newcomers and older fans to experience something magical c:
oh god, it feels so weird to see p5 60fps
It's so smooth ! It took me a second to adjust but I love it now haha
Persona 5 is a weird one for me. When I played vanilla P5, I was absolutely smitten with it. Years pass, and I played Royal and suddenly all the flaws were so much more apparent. The inconsistent plot, the sometimes cringey dialogue and especially the way Akechi was handled... I wasn't feeling it nearly as much.
Idk, I think I might be outgrowing JRPGs. The genre used to be my life in my high school and college years, but these days they just aren't clicking with me like they used to.
P5 has phenomenal presentation, a great sound track and a fantastic gameplay loop for sure. No one can take that from it. On a technical level, P5 is a masterwork but idk. Can't vibe with it the same way I did back in 2016
You are right and while I still enjoy the game despite those weakpoints, it's one of the rare times I don't let that bog down a game fully. Some games do that to me and I know so many people who praise games like The Witcher 3 or Horizon Zero Dawn and I sit there feeling insane because those game don't gel with me despite knowing some good strong points those games offer.
tldr; Respect your opinion and P5 is hella based LOL
God, I love this video
Respect for your opinion👍🏾 even though i find the too have many flaws after i went back into it it was too me on of the most impressive games i played as a teenager
Oh I know the game has it's fair share of flaws, I mean after playing it damn near 6 to 7 times I can see them. But it doesn't outweigh the good this game brings to the table and that's what I enjoy about it :)
@@VirtualMementos Honestly i made a new video about it if you want too check it out its up too you but it really felt like it was the game for me in high school too
While it did not impact me as much as it did to you it definitely changed my taste. Before I only played games that were very easy to pick up and had little to no story like smash bros, street fighter, call of duty cause. After a friend practically begged me to play persona 4 golden I finally picked it up at GameStop for 20 bucks and was immediately hooked. I never spent more than maybe 20 hours max on a game and that was for Pokémon but then I saw myself sinking over 100 on persona 4 which then I had to play 3 and then the newly released 5 even led me to play one of my all time favorites now which is fire emblem. Really changed my perspective on what video games can be as a medium. And as someone that also creates videos based on video games they are indeed great 👍
I'm glad you had a similar experience to getting a new found perspective on game as a whole. These games are works of art that transcend what art is supposed to be and for lack of any other words. They are dope.
can we talk about something that still bothers me the most in p5 royal is the ambush theme i wish you could swap it with last surprise its just so much better
Same tho
This is a love story to Persona 5 🎭
You know it 👍🏻
Have you played SMT5
Yes I have and it's a game I actually HAD a video on before the channel got wiped. I talked about the music :) It's one of the best games on Switch HIGHKEY
You played through persona 5 6 times? That's over 500 hours in just one game, is it worth it? In that amount of rime you could've finished Persona 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Q, and Q2
Yes. I also played Persona 4 multiple times. I never fully beat 3 but its cause FES was eh to me but Reload is hookomh me lol
Played every spinoff including Catherine and have access to Persona 2 but... other games exist.
I also really just love 5 so...
Bro i am commenting again to day that please please play persona 5 strikers amaaaaazing sequel just ended it
I got a bit into it but plan to play it soon enough c: Glad to know you enjoyed it though!!
How was this game even made
Senpai has noticed me
All in all, my favourite game!
This game is a labor of love from Atlus honestly and all the developers who put so much time into P5.
In my eyes it's a miracle this game came out the same time I was alive haha
Apropos of the voice tracks, I always play P5R in Japanese, not because I'm one of Those People, but because the English VAs *badly* mispronounce everyone's names. This wasn't the case in Persona 4.
I used to do that for my main playthroughs of 5 but I gradually just missed the English VA's and their performances despite that. Both are great options regardless 👍🏻
Had no knowledge of persona at all before this, but glad I know something about the journey the game has gone through with you
It's a very important game. Might not be for everyone but a journey is a journey c:
