To say that the Persona series is popular is putting it mildly. Persona went from a niche spin off of a niche series to the third biggest JRPG in gaming. Persona 3 reload sold 1 million copies in the first week it was released and that's not even counting game pass and digital sales
There's not enough words to describe just how life changing this series is to all of us. In a world where we are more disconnected, apathetic, and pessimistic than ever before, the Persona series is that teacher, and that friend that we all need to show us that no matter how hard life may try to kick us down, we are all in this together. We all have the potential within ourselves to grow and take back our lives.
I was introduced to Persona through P5R. I can't even imagine how proud Persona fans before P5 felt when that wind fall of fans joined their community. It's like seeing your kid succeed spectacularly 😁😁
Persona fans absolutely hate p5 because it takes attention away from their favourite persona games like p3 and p4 and they basically clown on people who joined because of p5
@@advikverma496 Without P5R, I would not have bought two different obsolete consoles just to play P4G and P3F. It made me go back to appreciate the games I missed on release.
@@stevenstokes6306It basically is gaming elitism. Meanwhile, SMT fans only like 1, and 2, while hating on 3, 4, and 5. It’s just one layer of elitism after another.
Yo this vid made me buy p5 and you hit the nail on the coffin!!! i was shocked to see a character (ann) go through the same shit i went through highschool, such realistic and relatable storytelling is fucking awesome
I was shocked to see this video only has 486 views. I loved it! a nice little video describing persona's broadening reach and how it changes many people. super underrated! I just subbed
I won’t lie p3 reload made me appreciate my life way more then before and the end of the game chief kiss it’s corny I know but it really helped me thought a dark spot
The thing that hooked me into finally giving it a chance was actually Morgana. In stories and especially in rpg's with a big cast I like there to be variety and have the fantasy setting truly embrace itself by having non human main charachters. So when Joker joined smash and Morgana came with him it peaked my curiosity alot. Thankfully by the time I made my decision to try it Royal was coming out so I waited till it released. Now I absolutely love the game and have replayed it so many times. Reload gave me the perfect chance to try 3 and that game was awesome too.
9:25 that sentence made me realize something P5 theme is about rebellion and flipping the table on the adults (to a certain point of the game) and somehow the game sold more than the older series SMT just like the game theme and I don't know but maybe thats why the game title wasn't smt persona 5 to keep on the game idea
Eh, no, Persona never was SMT Persona, that was just and US marketing strategy. Persona 1 was Megami Ibonroku Persona, but that's just a first game name, similar to Devil Survivor 1, after that all games didn't had SMT in the title. It happened with Digital Devil Saga Avatar Tunner being named SMT Digital Devil saga instead in the west.
Back in 2015 I had attempted to end my life during my senior year of high school due to the stress of my home life with my IBO courses. I ended up graduating midterm but for years afterwards, i was battling depression, where i wouldnt eat, bathe, or sleep properly. To top this off, I had undergone surgery to remove a tumor from my chest. One of my only friends that id talk to at the time took notice of all this, and gave me a bunch of videogames to play, as well as his playstation TV. Among them were persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable. I started playing persona 4, liked it, and stopped so i could play persona 3. The amount of emotions in me that i hadn't felt in a long time resurfaced as i played the game more and more. By the end of the game, i felt like i had an epiphany, it was late 2017 around then. Since the theme of the persona series is all about connections, i decided to go to a place where i could make connections easily. College. I got mental help, applied to college, and met my current gf there, along with my current friend group. I am beyond grateful to this series for changing my life for the better.
I'm glad that you're still here with us and were able to make it to your light at the end of the tunnel. I hope everything continues going well and thank you for sharing your experience.
I was introduced to the Persona series ever since Joker was announced in Smash Ultimate. After that, I became a fan of the Persona franchise ever since. I have beaten Persona 4 Golden, P5 Royal, P5 Strikers, PQ2, and I recently beaten P3P. I still have P5 Tactica, PQ, and P3 Reload in my backlog. Their stories, characters, music, gameplay, and most notably, the art styles are the best aspects I've ever seen in a video game franchise. I'm studying art/animation in college rn, and I sometimes like to incorporate Persona 5's art style into my projects (like my profile picture). The Persona franchise will always be one of my favorite video game franchises of all times.
I played Persona 3 during my first year of uni. I was so depressed, the only thing I could do aside from lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling was to play this game. I just grinded mindlessly. The day after finishing it, I tried to kill myself lol
persona is such a good game, I’ve beat two games and I only figured out it even existed last month (p3r took me roughly 100 hours and p4g took me around 73 hours 😛) very worth my time
Who is your favorite Persona character across the entire series?
Easily Futaba
Although naoto is a very close 2nd to me
Babebabebabebabebabe
@@TagTheLegend I put this in the wrong place omg lmao my fav character is probably akihiko,mitsuru,ryuji or most of the cast of 4 too many
Maruki for me
Not P5

It's kinda insane how many relatable storylines they were able to fit in 1 game.

Welcome to the family! Hoping this one is a grower but regardless I’m proud of how well the video came out and the people who did watch it enjoyed it.
Great video mate! It's definitely true that Persona has changed many lives for sure
Persona 5 Royal didn't hit me super hard, but I played Persona 5 Tactica and man that story hit me like a stack of bricks at the end.

Persona is near Peak Fiction! I love all of the characters (mostly)!
Persona is so peak Atlus can take a few employees aside, tell them to give Persona 1,2, and 4 the Reload treatment and we'll definitely eat it up
