31:30 No. Don't fall into that pit. Don't you dare think that wanting to help people is stupid. Not even for a second. Life is just as beautiful and precious as you say it is. And that compulsion to help people who believe it's hopeless to see that is natural and good. I almost lost a friend of 2 or 3 years to su1c1de some years ago, because he couldn't find a way out of a really really bad situation. And it hurt that he was willing to go through with that, to throw all of it away. The pain is never worth that instant release. There's always something better: always a way out. It just warrants a fresh perspective. So don't you EVER think that helping people like that is a lost cause.
I know im just a random person on the internet but… thanks, reading this kinda helps make me feel better about my weird habit/want to help others alot ^^
47:45 someone on twitter i believe, asked Alejandro Saab if in this scene it felt this real cause he was thinking about his friend Billy Kametz (Maruki's VA in persona) and he said yeah
It's not mentioned in game I'm sure but one of the side affects of the suppressant is the lack of being able to regulate body temperature, that's why shinji wears that thick coat and hat, not a fashion choice but to keep warm
@@glenolaes7205 More likely it's because the meds have the opposite side effect on him, he gets hotter not colder, that's what's more likely and the largely accepted between the community
I have to say I really like how they used the linked episodes to show more of the relationship between Shinji and Mitsuru, since the main story events are mostly have Shinji and Akihiko interacting. Reminding us that they used to be a trio.
It's kind nice to see that ppl who are happy and have will to live actually feel bad for ppl like shinji. And it's kind of wierd for me because I unfortunately found ppl who are happy annoyed by ppl like me who are feel alone with this filling. So it's very nice to see that you cear about ppl like that. Thanks Crystaahhl for being happy for us.
I've said this before and you kind of said it for me too. Persona 3 hits different as an adult. I first played FES when it came out all the way back in '08. I really enjoyed the story way back then, but playing Reload, even though the story is 90% the same, felt like I was playing it blind. It was surreal. Atlus did gods work giving this game the presentation it deserved.
I don't think you have anything to apologize for. You cry because you care deeply as a person, and I think that's actually very admirable. Never change. Keep being true to yourself, keep caring, and keep enjoying these games and characters. It's just more genuine, and that's why I enjoy your content
I don't typically type on these, but...your videos have been very uplifting in times when I've been extremely depressed. The will to live has been insanely difficult, and living life to its fullest is something that I've been working towards. Seeing you cry for people who go through these kind of depressive moments is comforting. Your positive energy is what a lot of people need, and it shows with how great your community is. Been watching your videos for quite sometime now and I just have to say thank you for all that you do. I didn't expect to cry from your vod since I already played through the game, but thanks for that. Keep on doing what you gotta do. You are why people watch.
One part of Persona 3 that I always prefer over the later entries is how your allies grow and have their Personas evolve on their own and not directly because of you. It felt right to me. Having their growth be more reliant on your interactions with them is one of the reasons I couldn't quite get as into the characters from 4 and 5
Shinji is a tough character for me, and the more I think on him, the more I feel for him. His situation and feelings have resonated with me the older I get. While he is an intimidating presence, you can tell how much he cares about his friends and people in general. He holds so much guilt for his part to play in Ken's life, but I also believe he holds guilt and shame that he's lost his fire for life. I believe that's another reason he pulled away from SEES. To be around Mitsuru and Akihiko, he feels would only bring them down. To see the fire grow in them and be empowered by the newer members of SEES, had to be so tough for him to return. He thinks so little of himself and his life, I bet he worried it would infect the others, so he isolated himself. Fortunately, he didn't stay away, and the fire and enthusiasm the SEES members had rubbed off on him. It must have brought him joy to be around and see others hold so tightly what he had lost. Some of it even returned for him. Not just saying this because I'm a fan of your work, Crystaaahl, but the fact that you have that fire for life, you're pursuing your passions in gaming, dancing, cosplaying and truly feel for all these characters, keeps me coming back to your content. Not only that, but seeing it pay off through your channel and brand growing is wonderful to see. I'm so happy for you! It helps me to feel again the fires that I've lost for life, even if it's just vicariously experiencing it through you. Hopefully, I'll see my fire return one day, and if it does, I will thank you, in part, for that inspiration. If Shinji did watch RUclips and found your channel, I bet he would enjoy it too. Lol
I can relate to the whole being depressed at a young age thing. I was always more anxious, but when it wasn't until I was 14 that the depression and anxiety really kicked into high gear for me. Add starting highschool at a school that was much bigger than my middle and elementary school and autistic burnout and the whole thing was a huge mess that I would not like to go back and experience again. Ken has it rough and I just want to give him a hug
tfw akechi and ken were born in the same year, had similar traumas and yet, ended up so differently because of the people who did or didn't support them 😭😭
It makes me so sad thinking about how the only difference between them is that people were there to catch Ken when he fell. Akechi wasnt lucky enough to have that until Joker. And if you spend enough time with him in-game and say the right things he manages to survive in the true ending. So both Ken and Akechi's stories send the message that spending time with/caring for ppl can save them from their destructive spirals.
@@GentleFD25 But this is a Persona 3 playthrough, and she barely mentioned him at all. Not everyone with a tragic past needs to be compared to Akechi. This has nothing to do with him and actually does the Persona 3 characters a disservice when he keeps getting brought up by the so called "Persona fans". And it's basically the only character that it happens with, he keeps getting shoved into places he doesn't belong
Atlus knew EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING when they threw in the Akechi reference with Shinjro. Are you trying to reopen wounds with the Akechi/ Crow moments Atlus? Because it sure is working
Ive never been diagnosed with depression, but i’ve absolutely experienced it. Sleepless nights spent just staring at my ceiling contemplating and simulating my own death, and being unable to stop thinking is so dreadful and hopeless when you are terrified of death because you don’t want to lose the experience and memories of life, it’s not something i can logically think about because there is no reason. I don’t really know where I’m going with this but, I can sympathize with the struggle of loving life so much that you become dreadfully afraid of death, the opposite of suicidal thoughts also seem to be unhealthy…I don’t know. Thats just me.
I'm really bad with words, so I don't have anything particularly profound to say, but my god watching this after already playing through this part myself made me cry all over again. 😢 The performances of the new cast really shine in the emotional moments...
everyone usually laugh at the fact that Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Shinji could only make it past the entrance floor - THEY WERE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL = that means they were all closer to Kens age while fighting Shadows with only Lightning and Ice magic and Shinji being a brute force physical probably didn't help too much - They did good for what they had but when you THE SIGMA MAKOTO with your infinite persona possibilities comes along it takes you a month to get 10 times farther then they ever got
Persona 3 may be forgotten but its lessons are timeless... It's the reason i chose to keep living during my darkest times my PFP never changed for more than a decade... I pretty much said the same thing on your old P3 video as well... I really hope those who needs these lessons discover Persona 3.
Babe wake up, new CrysAAHHL P3R video dropped before the new year. Kidding aside, its always such a joy to watch you play P3 since its my favorite in the series. Your love for Shinji is admirable and you dont have to applogize for it. I'm pretty sure a lot of us love him a 'normal' amount as well 😂
when you realize that you can save him in P3P but not the original game 6:35 I remember seeing this in a compilation of definitely not difinitive's channel Ken was born June 29th 1998
Saving him is honestly more tragic because it requires FeMC to romance him. To push through his rough exterior and to get him to admit that he cares about her. Then he gets shot and falls into a coma until the day that FeMC dies…
I remember playing P3P for the first time around the time I was starting GCSEs and it really helped me realise things I otherwise wouldn't have about life and probably is a major reason I'm alive. I remember thinking to myself how I could get myself to die while causing as little pain for other people as possible and keeping a back up plan in case my exams went badly. I'm so glad they did justice to Shinji in Reload because he was such a huge portion of my paper-thin will to live. Plus, he's hot.
Not gonna lie, I'm thankful that Reload remembered that Mitsuru was also a close friend to Shinji. The fact that they actually had Shinji's story involve Mitsuru a lot more helped me realize that Akihiko and Ken aren't the only ones deeply affected by Shinji's death. Mitsuru had been as well. The images of the OG SEES also really helped and I really wanted to see more of them.
One thing that I always personally believed is that he'll biker would have been Shinjiro's ultimate persona had he lived but he's always gonna be the goat
The song Ryoji plays it the same one that plays in Kaede's execution in V3 known as Der Flohwalzer or the flea waltz in english. have fun with that fun fact
I guess you released it on a Suicide Prevention day, as someone that struggled with suicide thoughts and actually attempted it in some time of my life, and if someone is reading this, please read carefully: You are loved, you are not alone. Please, PLEASE, seek some help, there are people that will be there for you, waiting for you even. I know that right now is unbearable, but i promise, it gets better. I know you can do it, i trust in you. Don't give up the one thing that you can't recover.
SPOILERS FOR 10/4 i kinda regret playing p3p first because in p3p they butchered shinjiro's death i was upset still but the way p3p handled it was weird. But i like how reload takes notes from the p3 movie version of his death it feel way more impactful than the original and makes me feel like i actually lost someone dear to me.
I've lost far too much in my life to consider what I can do to better myself, but I've not given up because there ARE better options than the...obvious. I can see why Amada went down this dark path: control. He talks about how his mom's death was something swept under the rug, how Shinjiro's death was dismissed as an accident, and now he's about to be forgotten "again". He's losing his grasp at control of these situations that he couldn't change and feels like he can't do anything. Thing is he has people who can help him push for a better choice, he has people who can nudge him toward regaining control of his life. I play card games because it's a fun way to train the mind with playing out what limited choices you can do with... Literally... The hand you are dealt. The challenge in these card games is figuring out which, from these options you are given, is the better if not the Best choice to move forward with. With people around you to help you, you can Absolutely get help with what strategy is best to play out by asking other players. Point is: In situations where choices are dire, choose the one where people who can guide you to better choices can help you regain control
Dear Crytaahhl. I don't even think you gonna read this, but if you do, there's some things I wish you to know. I've been watching your channel for quite some time now, almost 2 years if I'm not mistaken, and it all started after I've watched your first P3FES video. I've loved it and decided to keep on watching your past and future videos as well. I'm not gonna make this comment way too long, but I just want to say that, as Persona 3 was and is a game that changed my life forever, so did you. I didn't had the chance to play this game when I was younger since english is not my main language, but I did played once I was in one of the lowest point in my life. I've just discovered I have chronic depression, and worst than that, it's already said to be treatable, but it doesn't has any cure since it started when I was just a kid, never treated until it already did it's play on my mind. Everyday felt like a battle, and sometimes, it still does. However, what's been helping me a lot it's observing the world through new lens, trying to ley down the pessimistic veil that was set in without my consent, seeing that I'm not alone and not everything is so horrible and stuff. More thant that, trying to find a meaning to keep living, to not end my life too soon, to keep on going. And watching your videos, seeing how much of a person you are and how bright you shine, always makes me happy. Even if not directly, you've been a support for me, an inspiration to keep on going. I not capable of feeling the same way you do about life, unfortunately, but know this: you DO brush people with your positivity, specially when you laugh, when you post your videos, when you show how much life can be enjoyable and trully happy. It's not stupid to do what you do, and never will be, because whenever you do you're saving a life. Never forget that. And of course. Thank you.
I know it's so sad tho 😢 I'm still crossing fingers for a persona 3 reload royal or something like that I don't know. Or I know it is stupid but I hope persona 6 allows you to pick between 2 protagonists or something like that hehe dream is free after all
Sorry dude, it's not happening, they said the cost could surpass the estimated revenue and could not even pay the game itself, it was too risky, and they barely managed to convince Sega to green light the Answer, Atlus was on the red until P5R, so Sega was being really strict with them, they seemed genuinely sad and disappointed to not bring her, the answer is actually a little outsourced, you can see in some moments they were on a tight budget like lack of VA on link episodes, which were totally voiced in the main game. They can't go against their boss decisions unfortunately
Anyone else feel like ikutuski betrayal is incredibly forced? Not only is there no foreshadowing to it but it’s also never explained why he wanted the world to end so badly, And to top it off he dies immediately after
I kinda find it a liiiittle weird being obsessed with a character like this, but with Shinji it's fine. However when she was playing P5 and Akechi appeared on screen, I couldn't help but feel like: 🤨 Ok lady, slow down a bit...
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)

Speaking of "gameplay storytelling" and stuff like that, everyone needs to know Shinji's Theurgy summons his persona but proceeds to not even use it.
Minus the “Power up” it gives him, you are right. Nice notice
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
His persona basically gives him bloody charge
Shinji before the movie: “we’re watching… this?”
Shinji after the movie: “it’s a terrible day for rain.”
“Damn, I forgot to crucify the dog!” - Ikutsuki.

More likely it's because the meds have the opposite side effect on him, he gets hotter not colder, that's what's more likely and the largely accepted between the community
Can confirm what the two above me said, the effects depend on the person.
Crystal: "Sorry, Ken. You got replaced by a dog."
Correction, he got replaced by *the* dog. The goodest boy of all time.
You're right. He's the dog, not just a dog.
I have to say I really like how they used the linked episodes to show more of the relationship between Shinji and Mitsuru, since the main story events are mostly have Shinji and Akihiko interacting. Reminding us that they used to be a trio.
The Shinji episode is one of the absolute best things they added, also Ken’s it’s very sad knowing what happens but really adds to their character
Shinji really did do the Akechi pose and thought we wouldn't notice

1:46 that beat drop!
i can’t explain why, but Ikutsuki has always been one of my favorite Persona 3 characters
I want to become just as strong as you, Crystahl
Shinji is worth crying over
There's something about Crysthal hanging in there from Shinji's death until Mitsuru walks into frame that's oddly funny to me.
I'm so normal for him
I've lost far too much in my life to consider what I can do to better myself, but I've not given up because there ARE better options than the...obvious. I can see why Amada went down this dark path: control. He talks about how his mom's death was something swept under the rug, how Shinjiro's death was dismissed as an accident, and now he's about to be forgotten "again". He's losing his grasp at control of these situations that he couldn't change and feels like he can't do anything. Thing is he has people who can help him push for a better choice, he has people who can nudge him toward regaining control of his life.
I play card games because it's a fun way to train the mind with playing out what limited choices you can do with... Literally... The hand you are dealt. The challenge in these card games is figuring out which, from these options you are given, is the better if not the Best choice to move forward with. With people around you to help you, you can Absolutely get help with what strategy is best to play out by asking other players.
Point is: In situations where choices are dire, choose the one where people who can guide you to better choices can help you regain control
Shinji (not)exit to make everyone cry
Atlas has one of the best game deaths ever my god
So I cosplay Ken and my friend is working on a Shinjiro cosplay. Our next con starts on Friday, October 4th.
Yeah, we're in pain too.
"C'mon kid you're just a kid"
My shipper heart was obsessed with Akihiko carrying Mitsuru back to the school after her dad died
Dear Crytaahhl.
I don't even think you gonna read this, but if you do, there's some things I wish you to know. I've been watching your channel for quite some time now, almost 2 years if I'm not mistaken, and it all started after I've watched your first P3FES video. I've loved it and decided to keep on watching your past and future videos as well. I'm not gonna make this comment way too long, but I just want to say that, as Persona 3 was and is a game that changed my life forever, so did you. I didn't had the chance to play this game when I was younger since english is not my main language, but I did played once I was in one of the lowest point in my life. I've just discovered I have chronic depression, and worst than that, it's already said to be treatable, but it doesn't has any cure since it started when I was just a kid, never treated until it already did it's play on my mind. Everyday felt like a battle, and sometimes, it still does. However, what's been helping me a lot it's observing the world through new lens, trying to ley down the pessimistic veil that was set in without my consent, seeing that I'm not alone and not everything is so horrible and stuff. More thant that, trying to find a meaning to keep living, to not end my life too soon, to keep on going. And watching your videos, seeing how much of a person you are and how bright you shine, always makes me happy. Even if not directly, you've been a support for me, an inspiration to keep on going. I not capable of feeling the same way you do about life, unfortunately, but know this: you DO brush people with your positivity, specially when you laugh, when you post your videos, when you show how much life can be enjoyable and trully happy. It's not stupid to do what you do, and never will be, because whenever you do you're saving a life. Never forget that.
And of course. Thank you.
1:01:24 this sprite honestly terrifies me
Obligatory spellcheck at 1:04
Shinji why
I feel like you'd love his social link on the FeMC route.
The only thing I miss about his death in previous versions is where he gets up and walks away.
FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO
The really didnt have to give him a voice that can sculpt clay.
never getting over the fact that Atlus had the audacity to put Shinji's sacrifice on my birthday D:
Damn, ran out of homonculous at a terrible time...
I always hate seeing one of my goats die 😭
Off topic, but... Who did your avatar art? It looks great!
See, I'm weird, cuz i have occasional suicidal thoughts yet i absolutely don't wanna die. I wanna stay physically 20 years old until I'm done
Did they just reference Milo and Otis?
35:38
CRYSTHAAAL YOU CAN SAVE CHIDORI, PLS DOD IT, BY TALKING TO JUNPEI AND BUYING HIM FLOWERS
Shin(ji) megami tensei
Thank god everything was voice acted, September was extremely blurry for me guys...
😢😢😢
I actually found myself liking Ken so much more this go around. The better voice actor and added scenes made him WAY less annoying.
the episode aigis dlc is out and your still on october 4th of the highlights????💀
I'm refusing to play this game until atlus adds Kotone 😢
She's in Portable. Go play that game if you miss her so much.
Just get the pc version and download the mod
I know it's so sad tho 😢 I'm still crossing fingers for a persona 3 reload royal or something like that I don't know. Or I know it is stupid but I hope persona 6 allows you to pick between 2 protagonists or something like that hehe dream is free after all
Sorry dude, it's not happening, they said the cost could surpass the estimated revenue and could not even pay the game itself, it was too risky, and they barely managed to convince Sega to green light the Answer, Atlus was on the red until P5R, so Sega was being really strict with them, they seemed genuinely sad and disappointed to not bring her, the answer is actually a little outsourced, you can see in some moments they were on a tight budget like lack of VA on link episodes, which were totally voiced in the main game. They can't go against their boss decisions unfortunately
Sigh 😔
Anyone else feel like ikutuski betrayal is incredibly forced? Not only is there no foreshadowing to it but it’s also never explained why he wanted the world to end so badly, And to top it off he dies immediately after
i personally don't like shinki that much, looking forward for yukari and aigis stuff instead
intresting. Can I ask why?
I kinda find it a liiiittle weird being obsessed with a character like this, but with Shinji it's fine. However when she was playing P5 and Akechi appeared on screen, I couldn't help but feel like: 🤨 Ok lady, slow down a bit...
Shut up you're gonna make me cry too
