Remember kids. If a mysterious boy who keeps appearing around you encourages you to, "Go on and do it" while there is a suspiciously shaped pistol-like object on the ground, don't listen to him. Unless you're in Persona 3. That's different. All jokes aside, love this awakening. I can't say if it's my favorite in the series(I still love Joker and Akechi's), but this would probably be top 3
After how underwhelming Yu's Awakening in P4 was, I wasn't expecting much from this one. I am pleased to say that I was sorely mistaken in doubting this game!
@@Gafafsg Yeah, I've been enjoying the remake myself but the cutscene direction seems to have gone down in quality compared to FES. It's something I've noticed from the very first one.
40:40 P3's overall theme is about death, yeah. The original game opened with: "MEMENTO MORI: Memento mori is a Latin phrase that may be freely translated as 'Remember that you are mortal', 'Remember you will die,'"
@@hiddenmaster6062 only 5months late lol but i'd say it's loss rather than death too. Death is just the most obvious one. In this video yukari tells us about her mother who isnt dead. But she feels the loss of her mother all the same.
13:49 Ah, yes. Elizabeth. This is one thing about this game I’m familiar with. Though I don’t know too much about her, I know enough to share a fun fact; Despite most of the cast having new VAs, Elizabeth retains her original VA from the earlier versions, Tara Platt. It’s just that good of a performance. I dare say she’s one of the most (if not *the* most) popular of the Velvet Room attendees. Elizabeth is welcome in the Dark Hour.
Another fun fact is that Tara Platt in the original P3 *also* voiced Mitsuru ! I remember being blown away by this fact, I found out about this years later and the thought never occured to me that Mitsuru and Elizabeth in the OG P3 would share the same voice actress, since they sounded so different to me... Props to Tara Platt, she's so skilled
Oh wow, so that means that 6 out of the 9 participants in Virtue's Last Reward (Alice, Dio, Clover, Phi, K, and Luna) either have or used to have the same VA as someone in Persona 3!
33:34 That interaction between Evan & Ali felt like Evan just accessed the Morphogenetic Fields and is trying to explain to Phi how he knew something XD
Voice Cast for new characters here: Akihiko Sanada - Alejandro Saab Shuji Ikutsuki - Jake Green Igor - Kirk Thornton (Igor - Persona 5 [specific scenes]) Elizabeth - Tara Platt (Original Mitsuru VA for pre-P3R, VA for Elizabeth since OG Persona 3) Tara Platt also voiced the bane of your monetization in VLR in the form of Alice, too.
18:42 "Then there's that club over there." P4G SPOILER That's the club that Rise takes the team to where they end up drunk from mental suggestion and play the King's Game. Gekkoukan High is the school the Yasogami High students visit on their field trip.
So, this is the otherworldly phenomenon that we will have to deal with for the rest of the game. Also, this awakening is one of the things I do remember, and it’s awesome!
Summoning a Persona in: Persona 5: tearing off your mask, which simbolizes the chains that hold your rebel spirit back Persona 4: accepting yourself, even your darkest sides Persona 3: 😐🔫
@@brawlmaster0190 Yeah I had a feeling. But basically 3 is about acceptance of death and inevitably. By shooting yourself in the head. 4 is about rejection of such fortune and predestination as the truth. By breaking Tarot Card. 5 is about Rebellion and expression against authoritarian society. By showing your true faces behind your mask
So Akihiko, that "Confident Student" at the beginning of this episode, his voice sounded familiar to me too, and... well, I was wrong, it was someone I don't know, BUT, his VA in the original P3 was Liam O'Brian, meaning he used to have the same VA as VLR's Dio!
I think confronting the brutal truth requires courage and wisdom - notice how everyone rejected and fought their Shadow before finally accepting themselves to form their Personas. Even when MC confronts the big bad he has to first come to terms with his relationship with the big bad.
32:10 "Interesting. He's got two versions." Sadly, MC's persona does not have two forms. What came out of Orpheus is an unrelated end-game persona that MC was able to summon indtinctively for story reasons.
Interestingly, fusing it with Orpheus gets a unique persona that would likely be his persona's evolution of it achieved a final form like in the other games.
31:57 Always loved that scene. It had -and I'm going to date myself completely here, but I don't give a shit - Eva Unit 01 vs. Sachiel kind of energy to it. 33:49 Yeah... This song in particular gets meme'd on a lot. Evan probably got second hand exposed to it though those memes like a lot of people.
I know a lot of people give him shit but honestly I love him. He really shines outside of combat and in normal conversation. He just sorta oozes that confidence Akihiko always had in him which makes some of his interactions with Mitsuru even funnier. I'll have to play the game a bit to see how he handles Akihiko's awkward side tho
P3 isn't the only game the protagonist gets a key for entering the Velvet Room, it also happens in P4. It's supposed to be like that with all guests but the protagonist of P5 gets his Velvet Key near the end of the game for plot reasons. Also, all of the inhabitants of the Velvet Room across the series are named after characters from "Frankestein". Even Marie from P4G is presumably named after the writer of the book Mary Shelley (which is fitting because Marie writes poems)
It doesn't happen with the P1 and 2 casts either but it seems in those games literally anyone can enter the Velvet Room especially since those games were pre-wild card
@@connorharnage6697 Yeah, I often like to think that P3 stand like in the middle of both sides of the series, the Origins (P1 and P2) and the Modern games (P4 and P5). Of course, in reality, P3 is way closer to the latter, and you can tell there's a great shift between P2 and P3 but even then you can also see some similarities between P3 and its predecessors
@@Alfrodo8 Yeah. If they made Persona 5 immediately after 1 and 2 you wouldn't even be able to tell they're the same franchise at some points but 3 has a lot more similarities while still giving Persona a new identity. Still, I wish Philemon was in the game. For how simple his concept his, he's a really good character
If there is one complaint I have about this game, it’s their decisions on what to 2d animate vs 3d animate. The awakening not being 2d hurts my soul and when you see what they chose to actually 2d animate instead it makes your head hurt.
The 3D cutscene is really good too. It's just .. not as good as the old 2D one. If there was nothing to compare it to it'd still be one of the better one. Cutting the animation of the guy surrounded by coffin during the Dark Hour is a bigger loss in mood since they were extra lazy with it. No cutscene, a cut to the guy screaming with nothing shown. Awful.
@@claire6452Tbh I prefer the 3D one. The 2D one is great too tho. As for the guy, I can see the logic but tbh I'm glad they didn't make the attempt. The P3 movies showed how horrifying transmogrifying into a cotton is perfectly. It would bug me to know end when the game failed to outdo it
@@claire6452I really like this new cutscene. I do agree with you on the missing cutscene for the apathy syndrome guy. I genuinely don't know why they cut it. Can't be censoring, cause they showed something pretty similar in p5.
I think it's more on the fact that Evan tried to emulate Junpei's way of talking and speech from his VA. Not to fault on Zeno, I respect his take on Junpei.. but the original Junpei VA, Vic Mignogna, didn't sound like this as much.
@@BuretsuIf I remember correctly, those decisions were intentionally made as they thought it would sound better to an American audience. And they're kinda right. I know it isn't correct but saying Sakahmoto just feels so natural
Did some thinking : "Am I able to play this in the next 2 years without blowing a hole in my bank ? Maybe not". Bit the bullet and here I am now... I prefer to enjoy the reactions with "others" anyway.
It’s true that this game is a big step up from what the original was in terms of quality. I’m a big fan of the original voice cast, but I think they’ve done an excellent job with the recast so far. We shall see if this keeps up.
Im glad we got a remake of this but just a pure 1:1 remake sounds disappointing. I wish they added something new to it so both newcomers and old fans can appreciate something
i love the crit animation. it's so satisfying. also, protag was way too willing to pull that trigger. between that and his non-reaction to The Horrors, boy is surely depressed
There is a lot to be suspicious of I got to say from them monitoring you sleeping in your room! Also the Dark Hour is quite the scary thing! As for the VA Cast although I did like the original cast the new cast is just as amazing! Yukari's OG VA was the same as Kawakami in P5R as well, but I also like the new voice cast in it too. So glad you two are getting into the characters and the game and enjoying it!
Joker's cool but the situation pisses me off. Especially with the cut between game and anime not being well made, so you're like "yeah, he's about to kill Ryuji", cut to black "jk, he's still speaking about how he will kill him", etc. Awful.
@@Loner098Tbh I think Yu and Naoya have the two worst ones. There isn't really much tension or anything on the line. They could've very easily ran but Yu just happened to awaken to his Persona in that moment. To me, the best Persona awakenings are when it's either major character moment or things look almost inescapable
30:10 "That's terrifying." That's the point. Many people hesitate to put even a toy gun to their head and pull the trigger. The evokers are designed that way specifically to induce fear and adrenaline in the user. The fight oe flight response puts the user into a mental state that makes summoning a persona easier. Because summoning a persona is, essentially, a subconscious defense mechanism to a life or death situation that SEES team members learn to use consciously. This game is dark. Good, but dark.
Also I thought it'd be cool to mention that, in line with the developers making the calendar accurate as usual, the moon calendar is also the same as it actually was in 2009-2010
Even though it seems like you can save without it, it always gives me anxiety when people pass on checking the notebook on the counter at the entrance of the dorm😅
So, the persona Orpheus "turned" into was Thanatos, a persona of the Death arcana that was also in Persona 5 Royal as DLC. It is said fusing together Orpheus and Thanatos results in Messiah (another persona that was also in Persona 5 Royal as DLC). And if you ever wore Gekkogan High School uniforms in Persona 5 Royal (as DLC) you'd hear the original Mass Destruction (a.k.a. the song you claimed to have heard previously)
@@claire6452He's not a downgrade anymore than the other recasts. He's just not trying as hard to imitate the original. And ya know what? He's just as good as Liam
The Dark Hour and Awakening cutscene is great but I gotta say the anime cutscenes from the PS2 version just looks better to me. I miss the cutscenes a lot from the game lol.
Give it time. I modded the original to play the scenes from the P3 movie instead so I'm sure you'll be able to mod the original cutscenes into Reload if you play PC
I'm really sorry for confusing Yukari's va for someone else. I got confused. 3:50 Junpei- Give a brother a hand Me- (clapping) Junpei- That's not what I mean! This game has only three stats but they go up to lv 6, it's gonna be a grind. Anyway, answering questions right give charm and answer wrong gives knowledge. I'm not sure it still applies here. Usually courage isn't applied to sleeping, wish you paid attention to the lecture. 9:30 Spoiler alert- you don't 12:43 , 23:07 The potannnnntial! I'll make a count for that 13:33 Igor man, you gotta lay off those smokes XD 14:01Me- Gimmi candy lady ruclips.net/video/a3AlX0gxjo4/видео.htmlsi=GzSipuUyVWbH0_JX 25:11 If I knew how to mod, I'd make it for you Persona 3 original- Per... sona (Lame) Persona 3 remake and 4- Per... so... na (Lamer) Persona 5- (screams) (Better) Although the mystery persona in 3 is on Arsene's level, not sure if Makoto screamed in the original but it is good 30:06 Makoto- I wanna die someday 30:36 Orpheus- Same Should I do a count? Orpheus didn't start with agi, he started with bash: physical 35:03 Yukari- Say something! Me- Something! Yukari- (slap) 36:53 Benson- Stop lying! Mordecai- Dude, I thought you said you bought it! Benson- No he didn't buy it! The Potantial!- 2
Tbh I think P1 and 2's awakenings were retroactively made cooler by the later games. Tatsuya and the gang don't need an Evoker, card or mask. They just stand there and casually say "Persona". Worst part is they don't need a TV World/Metaverse. They can just pull up on you like a damn JoJo character in the real world
I really hope Evan can deal with the remastered version of Mass Destruction, seeing as he already heared it, he'll recognize that the singer is different From what I could piece together as to why that is, apparently people say it's because of her age, so she wouldn't be able to sing it like it originally was.
So lore nerd here, figure I'll just write this down that people from the newer games misunderstand. Evokers, the guns Persona users use in this game, are just fancy airguns. Literally that's it, they look, feel, sound, and even recoil like a gun, but that's it. However that is shit your pants terrifying to shoot yourself with even know it's not real, and that fear+will=Summon Persona. Yukari was to afraid to do so but technically any Persona can do this if they just have the guts.
The main cast sounds great so far, though I do like Liam O'Brien better for Akihiko. We have also just met the fool shadow! The battle song in that first battle is called Mass Destruction.
Persona dont allow the damage of the gun. When you are in danger with shadows, it come up to save the day. The trouble is more the evoker arent a real gun in the game one the shape.
The VAs are pretty amazing, new and old. I started with FES. The only one I could end up griping about IS akihiko. That being said, who cares. It's a little jarring at first but, seriously, it's still P3 and a blast of a game with amazing everything and they did go all out so who gives a crap about one voice that is a bit off. It's not like you can top Liam anyway. He did the best he could, and I'm just fine with that.
Ehm.. Why does Akihiko sound like he's in his 30's, seriously I think Liam O'brien just did far better job but for now he's the only one I got a problem with, well there is Arena duology if you wanna compare the voices (Mitsuru still sounds close to Sae). Ikutsuki the pun machine oh boy he's gonna get interesting. Elizabeth, she's....... wierd and that might just be an understatement of the century. That persona orpheus transformed into in the cutscene can be fused in velvet room just so you know. Mass Destruction, oh yeah, here we go my favourite battle theme. Death and loss... yeah that theme will stick around.
Tbh I think they're both great bit Alejandro definitely does better in the calmer moments. As for him sounding in his 30s...tbh Liam's Akihiko sounds closer to a 30 year old than Alejandro's
@@connorharnage6697 My original point was that Alejandro makes Akihiko sound older than he is with how deep his voice is while O'brien's voice fits his age.

Joker's cool but the situation pisses me off. Especially with the cut between game and anime not being well made, so you're like "yeah, he's about to kill Ryuji", cut to black "jk, he's still speaking about how he will kill him", etc. Awful.
Even better than Yu's awakening?
@@Loner098Tbh I think Yu and Naoya have the two worst ones. There isn't really much tension or anything on the line. They could've very easily ran but Yu just happened to awaken to his Persona in that moment. To me, the best Persona awakenings are when it's either major character moment or things look almost inescapable
Mitsuru Kirijos va is the same voice actor as "Boss" from AI somium files
They mentioned that in the first five minutes.
30:10 "That's terrifying."
That's the point. Many people hesitate to put even a toy gun to their head and pull the trigger.
The evokers are designed that way specifically to induce fear and adrenaline in the user. The fight oe flight response puts the user into a mental state that makes summoning a persona easier.
Because summoning a persona is, essentially, a subconscious defense mechanism to a life or death situation that SEES team members learn to use consciously.
This game is dark. Good, but dark.

Except for Koromaru, he has a persona and evokes it with a leash because yes
Snow and spring is actually a lot more common where I live.
Also I thought it'd be cool to mention that, in line with the developers making the calendar accurate as usual, the moon calendar is also the same as it actually was in 2009-2010
Let’s get this!!!
35:33 A lyre? And a player too? I've met too many men like you...
Oh no, I’m not like that
Thanatos is the god of death, and death is a heavily known thought in the game. 😅
Even though it seems like you can save without it, it always gives me anxiety when people pass on checking the notebook on the counter at the entrance of the dorm😅
Babybabybabybaby wake up, we got the song
So, the persona Orpheus "turned" into was Thanatos, a persona of the Death arcana that was also in Persona 5 Royal as DLC.
It is said fusing together Orpheus and Thanatos results in Messiah (another persona that was also in Persona 5 Royal as DLC).
And if you ever wore Gekkogan High School uniforms in Persona 5 Royal (as DLC) you'd hear the original Mass Destruction (a.k.a. the song you claimed to have heard previously)
There are only three social stats, but there's also six levels of stats instead of five.
That one in the red is Akihiko and he is now voiced by Kaggyfilms aka CyYu
Aka a terrible downgrade from his previous amazing voice.
@@claire6452 things change and yes having the originals would've been great but I kind of like this. Kaggy did some good work with Akihiko
@@jenniferfordyce1581 No, he didnt. He's awful.
@@claire6452 you have your opinion I have mine
@@claire6452He's not a downgrade anymore than the other recasts. He's just not trying as hard to imitate the original. And ya know what? He's just as good as Liam
Well i guess we found the one thing that's NOT weak against guns
33:14 When Mass Destruction plays
Us and Evan: BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY WOOOAAAAHEEEEYY PAAMM! TA TARA TA!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 😆😆😎😎🎶🎶🎶
4/8
gasp das my birthday I turned 5 in 2009, anyways
The Dark Hour and Awakening cutscene is great but I gotta say the anime cutscenes from the PS2 version just looks better to me. I miss the cutscenes a lot from the game lol.
Give it time. I modded the original to play the scenes from the P3 movie instead so I'm sure you'll be able to mod the original cutscenes into Reload if you play PC
I'm really sorry for confusing Yukari's va for someone else. I got confused.
3:50 Junpei- Give a brother a hand
Me- (clapping)
Junpei- That's not what I mean!
This game has only three stats but they go up to lv 6, it's gonna be a grind.
Anyway, answering questions right give charm and answer wrong gives knowledge. I'm not sure it still applies here.
Usually courage isn't applied to sleeping, wish you paid attention to the lecture.
9:30 Spoiler alert- you don't
12:43 , 23:07 The potannnnntial!
I'll make a count for that
13:33 Igor man, you gotta lay off those smokes XD
14:01Me- Gimmi candy lady

25:11 If I knew how to mod, I'd make it for you
Persona 3 original- Per... sona (Lame)
Persona 3 remake and 4- Per... so... na (Lamer)
Persona 5- (screams) (Better)
Although the mystery persona in 3 is on Arsene's level, not sure if Makoto screamed in the original but it is good
30:06 Makoto- I wanna die someday
30:36 Orpheus- Same
Should I do a count?
Orpheus didn't start with agi, he started with bash: physical
35:03 Yukari- Say something!
Me- Something!
Yukari- (slap)
36:53 Benson- Stop lying!
Mordecai- Dude, I thought you said you bought it!
Benson- No he didn't buy it!
The Potantial!- 2
So Sleeping gain Courage & Stay Awake gian Academics, just to make it clear
The awakening scene, imo, was even cooler in the original P3 cutscene
You should check the tv daily in the lobby to get news or info
Let's be honest summoning Persona's like that is the coolest way to summon them!
Tbh I think P1 and 2's awakenings were retroactively made cooler by the later games. Tatsuya and the gang don't need an Evoker, card or mask. They just stand there and casually say "Persona". Worst part is they don't need a TV World/Metaverse. They can just pull up on you like a damn JoJo character in the real world
I mean ur suuuuper close to p3's themes, ust a smiiiiddge off
The Game Theme is Death
I really hope Evan can deal with the remastered version of Mass Destruction, seeing as he already heared it, he'll recognize that the singer is different
From what I could piece together as to why that is, apparently people say it's because of her age, so she wouldn't be able to sing it like it originally was.
Only real problem is the new lady enunciates baby instead of babeh
imo this is the best english voice cast for any persona game ever
So lore nerd here, figure I'll just write this down that people from the newer games misunderstand.
Evokers, the guns Persona users use in this game, are just fancy airguns. Literally that's it, they look, feel, sound, and even recoil like a gun, but that's it. However that is shit your pants terrifying to shoot yourself with even know it's not real, and that fear+will=Summon Persona. Yukari was to afraid to do so but technically any Persona can do this if they just have the guts.
The main cast sounds great so far, though I do like Liam O'Brien better for Akihiko. We have also just met the fool shadow! The battle song in that first battle is called Mass Destruction.
Loss? That's cute.
I suggest turning the brightness of the game down a little. The game is generally too bright on default.
Persona dont allow the damage of the gun. When you are in danger with shadows, it come up to save the day. The trouble is more the evoker arent a real gun in the game one the shape.
The VAs are pretty amazing, new and old.
I started with FES.
The only one I could end up griping about IS akihiko.
That being said, who cares.
It's a little jarring at first but, seriously, it's still P3 and a blast of a game with amazing everything and they did go all out so who gives a crap about one voice that is a bit off.
It's not like you can top Liam anyway.
He did the best he could, and I'm just fine with that.
Lol when you said "bi-panic" after meeting both mitsuru and akihiko
The Persona Orpheus turned into is the MC's ultimate Persona Thanatos.
Ehm.. Why does Akihiko sound like he's in his 30's, seriously I think Liam O'brien just did far better job but for now he's the only one I got a problem with, well there is Arena duology if you wanna compare the voices (Mitsuru still sounds close to Sae).
Ikutsuki the pun machine oh boy he's gonna get interesting.
Elizabeth, she's....... wierd and that might just be an understatement of the century.
That persona orpheus transformed into in the cutscene can be fused in velvet room just so you know.
Mass Destruction, oh yeah, here we go my favourite battle theme.
Death and loss... yeah that theme will stick around.
best boy had a better voice in the OG, but i can accept this.
Tbh I think they're both great bit Alejandro definitely does better in the calmer moments. As for him sounding in his 30s...tbh Liam's Akihiko sounds closer to a 30 year old than Alejandro's
I can understand that the new voice is fine, It's just hard to get use to a change when i heard his voice for years.@@connorharnage6697
@@TheUltimateRare Yeah and I get that. I just get annoyed when someone says it's "objectively" terrible for no reason
@@connorharnage6697 My original point was that Alejandro makes Akihiko sound older than he is with how deep his voice is while O'brien's voice fits his age.
Slight spoiler warning just to be tactful:
"Only 3 social stats?"
"Should be much easier!"
Poor guy😅
