The cutscenes are easily the part of Reload that puts me off the most. The OG had such a distinct, bleak style to its anime cutscenes. While the movies lost that, they made up for it in the direction and execution of their scenes - the protagonist's awakening was so freaking good! Reload feels like it's trying to emulate the movies without understanding what made them work so well, and it can't even be bothered to 2D animate some of the important ones (like said awakening), so it comes off as a hollow imitation.
Took me a while to realized what you meant by "WiT" until I found out that they're the studio that did all the Anime Cutscenes in this Remake 😅 I wonder if they are still gonna be animating the Anime Cutscenes for the Aigis Expansion like they did with the Base game?
Im pretty sure they got the same studio that animated Spy X Family to do the cutscenes, so its kind of weird to see the shift on some cutscenes being pretty good and others being a little off.
It represents the danger of death. By fighting shadows in the Dark Hour you have to acknowledge that your life is in danger and that you could die. That's why the evoker is shaped like a pistol. You're accepting your fate
They even managed to fuck up the ending shot? In the original game, the "fin" screen comes up around Aigis, tearing her teary eyed gaze away from the now deceased Makoto and looking towards her friends with a bittersweet expression. The reason for this is because it symbolizes her finally being able to move on from her past, her obsession with Makoto and her agonizing over the mistake she made, which was hurting him as a child. She loved him and now he's gone. But his legacy is bringing together these people into a found family. The game ends with Aigis looking towards them because they are the future she is inheriting from Makoto. The games themes about Death being the opposite side of rebirth are perfectly encapsulated in this shot, and thats why it holds so much power. But of course, fading to white on Makoto's corpse while the most generic visual metaphor for serenity, cherry blossoms floating in the breeze, happens instead. Are we supposed to meditate on how calming death is? Are we supposed to understand it as a blissful release from the daily pain and fatigue of life? Somehow i doubt the scene director for this remake put that much thought into it, and probably thought it was "pretty" and "fitting". That demonstrates a lot of the logic driving creative decisions in this remake to me. Why would we bother with all this complicated artsy shit when we can just make the prettiest picture possible with the engine and spoon-feed the story to the audience who are probably half paying attention to the story while scrolling on Instagram anyways. Its not like anyone really cares about things like messages or themes when the graphics look nice right?
I feel that the remade ending still fits with the theme tho. I saw p3 as more of a story on how live is not worth living half assedly. We can see makoto rebirthing from a guy completely desensitized from life and death to someone willing to take risks and expose himself to the world. I think the last scene is less about the serenity of death than it is about the beauty of makoto’s life. The entire reason he died in the first place was because he chose to take a risk in fighting nyx over forsaking the relationships that gave him purpose. Him being at peace at the end reaffirms the decisions hes made. Makotos not peaceful because he was given the sweet release of death, he’s peaceful because he’s happy with the one year he spent with sees and his friends. Youre spot on w the aigis stuff tho
The one I will never forgive them for ruining is the destruction of Tartarus. This one had everyone talking, and Aigis's tears weren't even a part of the cutscene. They were just treated as regular in-game dialogue. In the original, the only thing we heard were the strokes of the clock, and Aigis silently spilled tears with the final stroke of midnight. The original was downright beautiful, and this was a steaming pile of shit.
@@graveltheblock5578 All she did was shrink back in fear when Ryoji started tweakin, sure the apologizing might’ve been excessive but it was still a good addition
honestly i don't hate these but the ryoji and aigis confrontation cutscene sucks so bad like yeah cut out everything that made it visually interesting who cares anymore 😭
i don't care if the fighting looks good or if the animation is good p3re anime cutscenes are so nothingburger i wonder how the erebus cutscene will look like in episode aigis unless they'll just do it in 3d ?
Goddammit... They ruined it, they RUINED IT SO BAD 😢 while the animation is neat (although not as good as P5 vanilla version) the scenes LACK of emotions, feel rushed and are poorly directed. This is a big disappointment...
Now I agree with this I’m glad yall are criticizing some of the bad points that they did with persona 3 if you saw the top comic “how to ruin gaming cinematic history:” comment the lack of emotions I can see as well as it being a little rushed and poorly directed

These cutscenes are crazy as hell
Of course the shower scene is here
dude I never noticed this, but in 7:35 Yukari humms the Memories Of You melody. THAT'S SO COOL OMG
WHAT THE FRICK!? YOU'RE RIGHT!
5:46 the sounds effects are FIREE at this part
It seems like a lot of inspiration for Reload was taken from the movie adaptation, including the art direction
I would love to see a video on the 3D cutscenes too, since I found them more impressive
i love how makoto's awakening is 3d but they dropped 2 of the 2d cutscenes on the beach trip
shows there priorities

I agree that the movies do look better than reload's cutscenes, they had such an aesthetic direction
Honestly I think I prefer the Tartarus introduction cutscene in reloaded over the original.
Coming here from p3p; my god its beautiful
21:05 it hits hard when you only had a romance with Yukari
Then you realize it looks ripped straight out of the manga too
i believe Persona 3 anime has been done 3 times; the OG P3 cutscene , The anime movie, and This P3R cutscenes..
a lot of quality improvement
WiT absolutely killing it

Really? WiT?
Kinda disappointing. WiT usually can do much better. But looks like here they didn't try...
@@KeyleeTamirian go animate that shit yourself then

You should check out the movies, the animation for those is beautiful, especially the final one
3:19 why cant she pull the trigger? i mean it isnt a real gun right? so i never understood why she was scared
I guess there's also a pressure of learning how to use, or even control her power.

I mean, a lot of the times it knocks their head back so there has to be some sort of impact unless they’re all weird like that.

I think most of the new cutscenes were pretty decent, though the destruction of Tartarus was an enormous downgrade.

Why did Aigis have emotions during the bridge scene? Shit doesnt make sense.
