Stop trying to ignore the lore behind P4 just to make your fav to stand out.
"It's weird that there are two characters named Makoto" Hoo boy! Let me me tell ya! If you think that's weird, keep in mind Persona 2 alone had Tatsuya Suou, Katsuya Suou, Tatsuya Sudou, Tatsuzuo Sudou and Takuya! Two Makotos seems less and less weird the deeper down the rabbit hole you go😂
@@MonkeBrain07 Nah. That's much more simple tbh as besides P1,the anime names are the canon ones (even though I personally think Akira Kurusu is better than Ren Amamiya)
To briefly explain a question without spoiling persona games, Igor selects a master of the fool arcana, which is always the player character, and the fool is able to wield multiple personas. There’s more lore than that, but that’s what you need to know for now. The fool arcana differs in purpose throughout the games but the role they have as the hero stays the same
Whenever P6 comes out, I feel like Joker is gonna get his own cognitive echo boss and his description is gonna be “Rebellion: A special battle against the cognitive echo of a certain persona user who stopped humanity from succumbing to their selfish desires.”
JC Ive been a youtube viewer following your Persona Journey for the past year, I can't speak for everyone but I can certainly speak for myself when I say as a proud member of the VOD Squad, PLEASE..... IM JONESING FOR MORE PERSONA CONTENT.
Have fun with the side content cause we’re getting the Casino of Envy arc soon (fun fact: the whole only the protagonist having multiple personas AKA. The Wild Card started in persona 3, so Makoto Yuki (P3 Protag), Yu Narukami (P4 Protag), and Joker are the only three wild cards in the main Persona series past Persona 1 and 2)
Glad this vid is out since I missed that stream, but I was there for the end of arc 6 and let me tell you, I cannot wait to see that again in the next video. JC, you are not ready for how good this game is about to get! Also Satchel, you cooked HARD on this one, and it paid off, this vid is great!
persona 3 protag is like 10000 times the power of any persona protag.... Literally Igor says that even he could not or have seen that power that persona 3 "unlocks" at the end. Its crazy.
Would be funny if P4’s challenge battle had the same gameplay, but P3’s full moon challenge played like the priestess fight. Where if you don’t defeat him fast enough and run out of TIME, he just Armageddons you.
@@amarant1275 Makoto IS the strongest protagonist from neo persona, probably on par with Tatsuya. Makoto is the favorite guest of Igor and defeated Elizabeth, neither Aigis or Yu that are stronger than Ren could compete against her.
@@Catannoyed The favourite is a mistake in the translation. In the Japanese games you can read that Igor say to each MC that they´re "the best guest", you can check it in the net. Elizabeth? she was scared of Yu when he unleashed the wildcard power saying that she didn´t remember to have witnessed such tremendous power in all her long life, Makoto included. That she felt like if she was in front of a giant and started to walk back in fear. If he lost the combat previously was because he is stuck with only Izanagi and tired of fighting persona users one after other with no rest (mentioned by Aigis saying that he´s just exahusted) but as soon as he activated the wildcard Elizabeth feared for her life.
I kinda like the amount of information they give you about the other protags in P5R. Like, you can’t really fugure out what the games are about but you recieve enough information to start wondering.
I've been playing through P3 Reload myself and lemme tell you, I am having a blast. It's more of a slow burn type of game where it really lets these big character moments and story beats breathe and...yes it is very much darker in tone (in case Makoto shooting himself wasn't subtle enough for ya). So yeah, I'd be so down for a P3 Reload playthrough. AND I wanna play P4 once I'm done with P3, cuz like you, I know very little about what happens in that game, other than the main group gets compared to Mystery Inc. from Scooby Doo, so I'm interested in that!
I've been loving this playthrough so far. Managed to finally catch a few steams live towards the end of arc 6, and those steams were legendary. Thanks JC for finding time to play this massive game live and Satchel for making these well edited videos!
I wish you'd play Persona 3 Reload in the future. In my opinion it has the best soundtrack among the Persona games and has the best written characters individually. The story is also fantastic but maybe that's because I like P3's theme the most.
@@BelBelle468 Calling the gameplay bad seems kinda an overstatement, it's not just as good as P5R's gameplay. It's from a 2006 game so you can tell the dungeons in P3 are outdated in contrast to P5R, but the new content in Reload are definitely great additions and enhances the gameplay no doubt.
"Why does he do this?!" *Makes gun motion to head* He's using an Evoker to summon his Personas. They're not traditional firearms. Something about facing death allows you to draw your Persona out, and it's in keeping with the themes of death and depression in P3. And yeah, the power of the wild card is a thing for games 3 through 5 cause The Fool Tarot is 0, which is empty, but limitless possibilities in-universe. Also, yes, I would very much like to see you play P3 and P4. Just bare in mind that the games are harder than P5. especially the original versions.
this video made me binge watch your entire persona series over the course of the past few days and i have to say your persona content is genuinely my favorite playthrough i’ve seen so far :D ur personality is so fun and i love seeing your blind reactions to the story… please please please consider playing p3re and p4g i would absolutely love to see your blind reactions to those
Definitely play Persona 3 Reload cause it's the remake of Persona 3 with Persona 5 style and gameplay improvement. Definitely my personal favourite game.
If you didn’t already know, the reason people call Yu a chad is because of the P4 anime, where he’s basically just a massive troll with chad energy and who is also the most effortlessly cool guy of the whole cast
I loved this, your reactions to the protags are so fun!! I really hope you end up giving Persona 4 Golden a chance, it's my personal favorite of the series :)
4:35 actually starting with Persona 3 all the protagonists have the Fool Arcana(Wild Card) and multiple personas is a unique trait to the Wild Card ability. After Persona 2 Philemon the avatar of the god of healing left the Velvet Room in the care of his attendant Igor. Igor grants those with the capacity the Wild Card ability.
In short, the persona 3 cast use gadgets called evokers to forcefully draw out their personas. They are not naturally awakened to them as the Persona 5 and 4 cast are to them. There are two types of evokers: 1. The prototypes which draw out the full power of ones persona (Imagine the P5 cast starting with their maxed out awakened personas at lvl 1) which can be dangerous as the wielder has not naturally awakened to them or can handle such power at their current state which can cause the personas to go berserk and harm others, even the user (Thus the metaphor of shooting yourself, everytime someone with the prototype evoker summons their persona it's the same as playing russian roulette). 2. Then there's the upgraded model that can draw out only as much power as the user can currently handle, this makes the personas perfectly manageable however they are severely weakened in order to be controllable.
7:55 I got so angry when I went the the wiki and discovered he (and Yu) has endure (when knocked down revives with 1 hp). I was also more angry since I was going for the max points, not it had to be a knockdown + batton pass.

Would love to watch you play persona 4 honestly! I think you would really vibe with that game despite it being older. You don't have to play in order either, p4 or p3 next would be fine! If you decide to play both, can I recommend PQ2? The Persona Q games are spin offs for the 3DS that combine the casts of each game. I played it before playing 3 or 4 and its really cool as an introduction to those characters. PQ is only p3 and p4, while PQ2 has P5 and the Female protagonist from p3p as well.
JC, I would watch all of your Persona content. (Everyone agrees) Your gameplay and reaction to it is so fun to watch. My brother, you are funny as hell!!
To answer the question about Makoto's persona summoning method (P3 protag), is that the game's main theme is accepting and facing your mortality + he's depressed. The evokers are used to summon their Personas because they come out when they feel like they feel like they're going to die (or have an adrenaline rush, cant remember) and they're gun design issues to mimic that feeling. The best way to describe P4 is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 Persona users that summon multiple personas are called wild cards and their powers come from the bonds they form. The more bonds, the more arcana they can access (but this is only in 3-5)
Love how the video starts with the editor just leaving a little message for all of us just for the video to start with a classic JC "This reminds me of-"
I think it'd be interesting to see you play Revelations since all the characters from there can change personas? Limited cast, but hella interchangable personas anyway.
Before seeing some clips on p3r all I knew from p4 is that it's the yellow one and all I knew from p3 is that it's the blue one where you shoot yourself
Super cool seeing your reaction to the other protagonists! When you finish p5 it will be super cool to keep playing the other games in the series since they are all so different
As someone who put a ton of resources into making an OP Angel and Kikuri-Hime in the SMT MMO, I feel like I may have discovered a kindred spirit here and should probably watch your P5 playthrough lol
I would love to watch you play Persona 3 Reload! I know many people will tell you to play Persona 4 Golden, I'll probably be in the minority that wants to see P3R more than P4G, but I think that you'll enjoy it. Especially since you enjoy the story of a game, P3R has so much character story and one of the most well-regarded plots in the series.
The fact you know nothing about p4 is a god sent miracle. that Game is genuinely one of the best games by far and is what made me a persona fan. play it ASAP to not get yourself spoiled because people like doing that and it sucked when right before the end I got spoiled, but even after getting spoiled it was still well worth the play through.
if you're gonna play P3, id recommend playing it, then watching the 4 movies, they're a really good adaptation and heavily flesh out Makoto's character
Great video, and can’t wait for Arc 6! Keep it up! Edit: Yes, we will watch you play Persona 3 ReLoad and Persona 4 (I would do Persona 3 ReLoad first).

When I saw Charge, I was like, "uh oh." Then I saw Hassou Tobi and thought, "Ok, we're starting over..."
JC, I would watch all of your Persona content. (Everyone agrees) Your gameplay and reaction to it is so fun to watch. My brother, you are funny as hell!!
Your reaction to Makoto using the evoker made my night
Thank you editor we love and appreciate your work!
Makoto - casually summoning , basically Hades, Jesus, and a Musician
Meanwhile Yu - LITERAL GOD OF CREATION
I'm just here to cheer on my boy Chad Narukami. I'm still on P4 and haven't played 5 or 3 yet. But he's so cool.
To answer the question about Makoto's persona summoning method (P3 protag), is that the game's main theme is accepting and facing your mortality + he's depressed. The evokers are used to summon their Personas because they come out when they feel like they feel like they're going to die (or have an adrenaline rush, cant remember) and they're gun design issues to mimic that feeling.
The best way to describe P4 is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4
Persona users that summon multiple personas are called wild cards and their powers come from the bonds they form. The more bonds, the more arcana they can access (but this is only in 3-5)
I kinda hate how JC got spoiled about the summoning by gun in Persona 3, it would be so hilarious to see him react to the opening for the first time
Ah yes Yu Narukami, aka The Sister Complex Kingpin of Steel.
Love how the video starts with the editor just leaving a little message for all of us just for the video to start with a classic JC "This reminds me of-"
I think it'd be interesting to see you play Revelations since all the characters from there can change personas? Limited cast, but hella interchangable personas anyway.
first against the Door, then, the gigachad. The persona experience.
9:43 Messiah moment
Yeah the persona protagonist have the power of the wild card which means allows them to use multiple personas at a time
Joker: takes of mask
Yu: closes hand
Yuki: kms NOW
while yawning lmao
Him getting Idc by makoto is hilarious
Bro I need a persona 3 reload play through, such a goated remake
P3 Reload did a great job with Makoto, he doesn't feel all that bored anymore
Arc 6 is amazing. Can’t wait to see his reactions.
Before seeing some clips on p3r all I knew from p4 is that it's the yellow one and all I knew from p3 is that it's the blue one where you shoot yourself
Super cool seeing your reaction to the other protagonists! When you finish p5 it will be super cool to keep playing the other games in the series since they are all so different
As someone who put a ton of resources into making an OP Angel and Kikuri-Hime in the SMT MMO, I feel like I may have discovered a kindred spirit here and should probably watch your P5 playthrough lol
I would love to watch you play Persona 3 Reload! I know many people will tell you to play Persona 4 Golden, I'll probably be in the minority that wants to see P3R more than P4G, but I think that you'll enjoy it. Especially since you enjoy the story of a game, P3R has so much character story and one of the most well-regarded plots in the series.
The fact you know nothing about p4 is a god sent miracle. that Game is genuinely one of the best games by far and is what made me a persona fan. play it ASAP to not get yourself spoiled because people like doing that and it sucked when right before the end I got spoiled, but even after getting spoiled it was still well worth the play through.
if you're gonna play P3, id recommend playing it, then watching the 4 movies, they're a really good adaptation and heavily flesh out Makoto's character
Persona 4 Golden is my favorite Persona game so I for one am excited for you to play it someday :D
Great vegetable
damn I'm excited to watch you play P3R
Great video, and can’t wait for Arc 6! Keep it up! Edit: Yes, we will watch you play Persona 3 ReLoad and Persona 4 (I would do Persona 3 ReLoad first).
It's a hell of an experience being in the RECEIVING end of a charged Hassou Tobi, especially if you're familiar with the tactic and don't see it coming.
