- Welcome to my newcomer's guide to Persona 3.
This series will be focused on explaining the many aspects of Persona 3 in a manner that's friendly to people who are interested in picking up the game and to aid those who already did.
If you like the content and want to support the series, please go over to my Patreon page: / shuratensei
Or you can make a one time donation on Ko-fi here: Ko-fi.com/hitoshura
Subscribing and even just watching the series is extremely helpful too. Any and all support is greatly appreciated, it helps more than you think.
This video is focused on looking at all the party members in Persona 3 and what they offer to the team.
This is probably the longest video I'll make on this series, it took several months of work and constant re-writing, but I am satisfied with the results.
I got a new microphone, so that should also make listening to my pre-pubescent child voice more tolerable.
As always, all criticisms are appreciated.
Thank you.

I love that you touched on the Developer quotes about why they're AI controlled. Great work.
Didn’t matter since Persona 3 Portable completely gives you the option to control your party members
*No YoU CaN'T DeFeAt It. RuN!*
👍I mean party control is good....but id rather being creative with what i have and git gud people. The ai ofc are problematic...2007 ai so think about it. Make do people. Even i was shocked they changed the gameplay from p1 and p2 to that of what we have in p3. And somehow i played that game for x27 bfore p4 came out.
@@theinfamousguil The Helel + Satan Fusion Spell in question:
Fun fact about both Akihiko and Shinjiro's personas and their human counterparts. Both Polydeuces (or Pollux as he's also known as) and Castor were brothers in Greek Mythology that would eventually become the constellation the Gemini Twins. Seeing as Aki and Shinji had been like brothers since they were little, even how protective they were of Akihiko's sister, it really is a great added tidbit.
Also a fact,Castor died in the story,just like what happened to Shinjiro(at least in the male protagonist)
"Ken doesn't have much strength and doesn't do much damage"
*shows ken doing 300 damage*
Ken is the best character for a reason 😏 (ignore the smirk emoji I don't know why I used it)

3 years late, but some things not mentioned in the video that might be useful:
•Koromaru is the only party member that starts already with his ultimate Persona. Moreover, Cerberus is the only party member Persona that nulls 2 elements instead of only one, those being Fire and Dark. Combined with the Counter skills and his native dodge chance, he's suprisingly tanky despite his base HP and Endurance.
•Aigis, Junpei and Koromaru all get the multi target versions of their buffs starting at around level 45, meaning you'll to rely on MC waaaaaay less for buffing.
•ALWAYS, and i mean ALWAYS analize with Mitsuru or Fuuka when fighting a new enemy. Even if its a Tartarus boss and its weaknesses dont appear to you, the party members will register them and use actual useful skills. Not analyzing is how you get Mitsuru spamming Marin Karin against random enemies.
Dude this is so well written, I laughed out loud once or twice.
I try
he try
Ikr it's so well written
Fun fact: the "Request a specific BGM" option shown at 21:23 actually plays music from Persona 1 and Persona 2. For instance, Track 02 is a remix of Maya's Theme from Persona 2.
This video: You can't control your party members
Me who played P3P first: huh.....
"What? you guys have mind and will of your own? Sorry, but you have been put on D I R E C T C O M M A N D S"
@@idk-ov9oh sim
Found this channel right as I started the game recently and it’s been a big help
You keep Koromaru in your party right?
THE MITSURU BURGER WITH KNIFE HAD ME DYING
...has Junpei's neck always been that long
y e s .
I thought "June Pay" was an actual joke
"These chapters are auto-generated"
There is absolutely zero way an AI came up with 'Yukari Tequila'.
So I wasnt the only one who saw those lmao
Oh boy, I can't wait to main Shinjiro. Yep he's never gonna leave my party
How did that go
@@yuiop8567 i don't wanna talk about it
Have y'all ever noticed that party members with the Magician Arcana in all persona games are never the most magically gifted? I can't speak for the first game, but still.
Why did they give him the magician arcana if he is strength-orientated? His stats and skillset is the complete opposite of a magician! It's driving me nuts!
@@Circ00mspice I think it has something to do with his personality as Junpei, and Yosuke and (Morgana I guess) have similar traits to each other.
@@Circ00mspice The Arcanas in no way tell us about the characters stats. It's about what they represent in the story.
I mean, not really, considering Morgana is basically the best healer in p5.
True but Anne does the most raw magical damage
2:05 "You're not meant to make them work FOR you, you're meant to work WITH them." I love this.
Truth be told; I've always prefer playing Persona 3, 4, and 5 using AI party members.
It's sad that they kinda ditched the idea because they couldn't really find a way to balance AI limitations and player agency.
Now every Persona game since P3P has the Direct Commands tactic to ease the frustration.
You are an absolute phenomenal content creator. Just wow!!!! Everything is so tight, concise, detailed, and you let your soul shine through it all!!!
This is an incredible video, your genuinely good advice accompanied by the well timed and delivered comedy and editing is really great! I saw you haven’t made videos in a year, but if you ever want to start making them again I think you should! I really really enjoyed this!
"This is Yukari Takeba, AKA *Yucatán Peninsula"*
My dumb Mexican brain: *SUB RIGHT NOW*
Nice video my dude. I already finished P3, but this info will be useful for my New Game + run!
Do you keep your social stats in new game+?
Negueto Otokoto yes
Yes, along with your level, compendium, money, equipment and the items you need to fuse max s.link personas.
This deserves way more views
and you deserve more subs !
great video dude 👍🏼
How do you only have 300 Subs? The quality of this video is absolutely amazing. This was super useful as I'm going to be playing Persona 3 sometime this month. Thanks a lot. You've got a new sub!
The guide that I have so desperately needed, thank you my dude
pretty slick vid not gonna lie
Thanks dude!
This is needed for the community
Your little quips are great, I chuckled when you said how Yukari is in the archery club but sucks at it so casually, good delivery.
Thank you! this was extremely helpful!
Great video, very helpful
after years this should still be relevant, ive been searching for it but it took sometime. RUclips you fail me to recommend this to alot more people. this video is very high quality and helpful! thank you to the creator. now i will enjoy me some persona ❤❤
This is an awesome video:) It's helpful, high quality, and pretty funny to-boot. Thank you my dude. Though I am curious on something. I'm about half way through the game ( I think ), and most of my party members are in the low-to-mid 40's, but it's showing that some of them don't have any more moves to learn. I'm wondering why that is, since I know they'll learn more ( both because I watched this video, and because it would be super weird if I had to go through half the game with only mid level spells ).
Edit: never mind, I just got to the sad part and figured it out.
If sometime in the future P3 Remakes appears, it would be a nice addition that the Max Social Link of party members gives you the control of their actions because at that point they trust their lives in your command.
bro predicted the p3 remake
Funny and informative; easily digestible. Persona games don't have party members as polarizing in stats as other games but they DEFINITELY have their roles and you laid them out wonderfully.
Honestly, great video. It’s a shame this channel is dead now, you would make good content.
In case you do continue, I’ll subscribe.
Nice video!
Great guide. Thank you so much :)
These videos are great!
Damn, it's so rare to see p3 gameplay content. Very welcome though.
i loved your intro, it earned you a sub good sir
thanks for the input hitler
Just found this video now and it's really great! I doubt I will ever play vanilla p3 or fes (I really dislike having the party doing things I don't want, even if it's more "realistic) but it's still a very good guide nonetheless
I used Aigis, Akihiko and Yukari for both of my playthroughs. They were great
Yeah playing P3 after P5 took awhile to get used to.
I had issue with not controlling your teamates but the reason is good.
Thanks for the guide.
I too am playing after having played P5R, and am still getting used to it a bit as well.
I'm able to control my team mates. Are you playing P3FES for the PS2, or P3P for the PSP? Maybe that has something to do with it? Either way, all I have to do is go into tactics and take control just like you can in P5R and P4G, difference is that P3P defaults to AI and I don't remember 4 or 5 doing that.
22:04 I think you should also note that you can avoid team mates from returning to the dorm when tired by making them battle a shadow and you can go on then return to the lobby. That way they won't leave when you return to the first floor
Great video.
4:05.
As a mexican I didn't saw that coming.
if you emulate persona 3 there is a specific cheat you can download to command party members personally its made my experiance with the game a lot more fun because i like having 4 turns
Great video
P3 will always be my favorite video game ever.
Persona 3 Portable will be mine because... GIRL SIDE! It's all I could hope for!
great guide
I don't recommend using Shinjiro
Why though
@@totallynotkhobsessed ...
@@totallynotkhobsessed You've probably figured out by now, and trying to avoid spoilers. But there's a reason that spending XP on him is a mistake. He's tempting to use because he's strong and cool, but favour someone else.
@@thejetstarjump yeah... Um I might need to re grind with aigis, Why him 😭
What about femc huh
My party always consisted of Yukari, Akihiko, and Mitsuru
Seems like you make great content, but haven't made any in 2 years. Would love to see more.
As someone who lives in Yucatán and is currently playing this persona I hadn't noticed the yuka-tan thing
4:05 I might actually be going there for my birthday lmao
22:12 "it's 2:03am" lol what a coincidence!, because I'm watching this and it's exactly 2:03 am :)
Pirate Fuuka is so blessed
I always bug me that junpei doesn’t have power charge despite being physical damager.
I can't get over the lack of control of party members in rpg's,probably gonna instal the mod that makes you control them (great vídeo by the way)
This game looks amazing, what do you use to record?
2:29 also can't forget that in the case of 1 3 4 and 5 there the best written characters in the game
1:43 as someone who played miitopia, i agree.
Good background music, naoto
Aigis is a creepy robot stalker with no traits or personality...
Welp she just became best girl and will always be on my team xD
wooooohoooo i live in yucatan. yeah i was hyped out just because of that...
U forgot to say mitsuro can use spirit drain (robb SP from an enemy)
Obrigado pelas dicas
18:06
OK
BUT HOW DID YOU GET SO MUCH EXP
Aka yucatan peninsula COMEDY +10 amazing vid
The first time I used Oracle was when I was fighting Margaret. I never used it again
Do you know how i could play P3 on a mac? I tried to get an emulator working but it was complete ass and wouldn't launch. Any help?
I'm still not over the fact that you pronounce Zeus "Zee-us"
the devs deliberately made party members uncontrollable, for a specific purpose and go into great detail on their design decision, defending the decision. . .only to backpedal on it in persona 3 portable and allow you to control the companions. . .
i'm not calling the devs hypocritical, because i myself would rather just control the companions and issue commands, so that change is a positive thing. i just thought it was funny
i'm playing FES and it's so irritating when one of the companions does something dumb that i don't want them to do. . .
3:55: that was my nyx fight, basically
I know you are talking about persona 3 fes, but I just wanted to say that in persona 3 portable when I gave the order to split up someone found money and she gave it to me just as we proceeded to the next floor, I don't know if this is only for the portable version, it just happened to me.
BTW it was Yukari
In P3P you're given every item that they find, and as far as I'm aware, they don't get their own equipment like in FES.
Ah mitsuru, she had the best magic attack and yet uses that charm attack every single time
The single main reason why P3 Portable gave you the full control option.
1:25 does anybody knows which is this, is for a homework
18:06 what did you do?
Cool pirating part!
Mag and strength also factor in magic and physical defense respectively.
I am here after P3P, P4G, and P5R is going to be released on xbox and pc
The best team is Akihiko, Mitsuru and Aigis
buff and debuff well every smt ever
A+ Content, Where are persona 3 fans
PLEASE HELP
What’s the song that plays during 11:37 ^^
it’s Voice from the Persona 1 remake
Persona 3 S Class Content
What about metis
Akihiko, Yukari, and Mitsuru are my main for the most part. Aki and Yukari are great supporter and Mitsuru lift most of my burden in combat. And please learn buffs and debuffs don't be an idiot like me.
Should I focus on level all of them up?
Forgot to mention this, but no.
It's not hard to do since you can split your party and they gain a ton of XP that way, and any teammates that are several levels lower than you can catch up to your level quick.
But actively going out of your way to level everyone equally is not something you should focus on, it's better to stick to a party and maybe switch out one teammate from time to time depending on the situation.
It's very easy to stick to one party since you can easily fill in any gaps in the party composition with your own personas.
@@ShuraTensei so I have to stick with one party comp most of the game?
That's the Idea, yeah.
If you want to add an underleveled teammate at any time you can easily let them fight by themselves while you heal them and they'll level up quick. But it's much more efficient to just stick to one party.
Also keep in mind that new teammates after Junpei and Yukari don't start at level 1, so you don't have to grind them up to your level when they finally become recruitable.
Thank you for your advice.
My pleasure
im getting p3p soon what are some of the differences?
You can control your party members.
The biggest difference is that you can play with a female protagonist so the social links are different.
really says something bout a game when you decide to make a vid after some 12+ years of the game releasing
Ayo how does your game look so good?
Emulation
Thank you for making this when I started persona 3 I was like what Fuck is this shit
Junpei is not the best friend character, nor is he like Yosuke and Ryuji. He wants to be in charge, he has his own drive and he absolutely hates that you overshadow him. By comparison Yosuke almost immediately says "Oh I'm more than happy to be your bitch, don't worry about it!".
Junpei does have his own drive, but the first time you meet him he approaches you in a friendly manner and tries to make you feel comfortable in class despite being the new kid.
And while he does show jealousy from time to time, it's insignificant compared to the amount of times he actually acts friendly to you. He gives you his old PSP to play with him, he gifts you a game, he chats and jokes with you whenever you approach him. 80% of the time he speaks with you he's being a genuine bud.
@@ShuraTensei yeah you're definitely friends, but he's not your best friend like Ryuji or Yosuke. He's much better friends with Yukari than anyone else on the team. He's is to Makoto as like Yukiko is to Kanji, they're friends but they're not insanely close or anything.
It definitely feels that way to me at least, he's the closest thing to a bro character you have in the game.
@@ShuraTensei as much as I hate saying it, Kenji is the best friend character :(
@@pezdispencer113 5 months late, but in persona 3 dancing so..questionable canonical here, you can call Junpei "You're best friend." and he acts rather pleased with being called that. so it's kinda possible that after their big jealousy run, he starts seeing the MC as a good friend.
Fuck that shit im going to p3p.
How the frick frack do I have more subs than you? You put wayy more effort into your video and it’s way funnier than mine. Good work man I’m gonna shoutout you out and just help a fellow content creator because you are talented and well versed in the Persona community

If Persona 3 ever does get a remake, I hope they’ll do what Strikers did for NG+ with Wolf and let you be able to have more opportunities to use Shinjiro regardless of where you are in the main story.
