Great! So when will this episode be permanent into the physical releases? So we can have it offline once the stores shut down for the next gen consoles
@@ZacianGalard I stand by you. Especially since there was already a Makoto in the P5 series. Minato was the character I met when I was young, so I'm not gonna call him anything different. Plus, it kinda feels meta that everyone seems to have forgotten about "Minato." So, I choose to remember Minato.
The spider lillies at the start, the fool arcana shattering, Makoto's soft smile as he floats towards Aigis while she's trying to reach out to him... Makoto's evoker and mp3 disappearing while showing their first meeting and last moments, the cherry petal falling at the end... it's so heartbreaking. This opening really focuses on his passing and this is probably my favorite persona opening so far it's so genius
@@Joker3180Z He sort of can't be. SPOILER They need to have a sound piece of logic to take his essence away from what it is being used for, to guard the door from the calling of the masses
@@TSHandle6324 In P4A Elizabeth tell us that she has been looking for a way to save his soul for the last years, so.... being more than 15 years since P3 og release, seems like enough time for his death to have weight/real meaning. having said that, if Atlus wants to keep exploting persona, without being all about P5, and i know P6 its probably coming 2025/2026, they can always use P3. Also it has been leaked that P4R is in the works, so it wouldnt be crazy if in a few years we get some kind of crossover with P3,4,5 or even P3,4,5,6
What I really love about P3 is that explores in more depth his theme. The journey is about accepting the inevitability of death and living your life to the fullest. Episode Aigis is about overcoming losing someone dear and moving forward. Episode Aigis explores the pain and confusion that feel those who are still alive. A lot of people doesn't like Yukari representation in Episode Aigis, but is more about their ignorance that there are different stages of grieving and nobody feels grief or act in the same way when lose someone.
Yeah yukari misses makoto more than most of them, but she hasn't dealt with it at all. She tries to press on ignoring what she's feeling and it causes her to lash out at aigis in jealousy over her being with him when he died, hearing his last words and even inheriting his power of multiple personas. I actually liked her dipicition the best in this dlc as she exhibits signs of bargaining and denial as well. And I feel like she exemplifies the themes of what they were going for with this the most effectively. It feels the most natural and you can empathise with what she is going through.
@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu I prefer the original, people who is grieving doesn't act rational. Reload did some things great, but the writing was much better in FES. The same with the art direction of the cutscenes was lackluster in Reload.
Poor aigis and everyone, and that scene of makoto and his stuff disappearing and a cherry blossom petal just falling on the ground, so sad yet so amazing I love it all
@@royhetharia2816Makoto is already dead. His body is long gone. However, his SOUL can still be saved and freed from its bonds as the Great Seal, which is Elizabeth's Goal. Honestly, I'm pretty sure that Persona 6 will take more cues from SMT. We already have leaks that it will be "kind of open world" and be more "real time based." My theory on what Persona 6 will be is a game focused on environmentalism and protecting the planet, and the gameplay involved traveling between the modern day (2028?) and 50 years into the future in a post-apocolyptic wasteland ruined by demonic pollution. The modern day is a typical Persona overworld, while the future is open zone with exploration gameplay akin to SMT5. Traveling to the future is also on a time limit tracked in real time including in battles, and you need to leave the future before time's up or it's game over. The gameplay loop involves not only day to day time management and decision making, but also managing your real time in the future to maximize your progress there and not waste too much real time. The enemies would be typical SMT daemons, but you would recruit them by "sealing" them in a capture mechanic akin to Pokemon rather than negotiation or shuffle time. Personas are summoned by a mechanical artifact, (which ends up being bad) but later in the game characters learn to summon their personas on command like Tanaka could back in P3. But about alignments, I believe that taking from the positive reception Maruki's story got in P5R I feel like P6 will have multiple endings, but unlike other games that are divided into "bad" and "good" endings all endings in P6 are equal and are merely different ways to solve the main conflict. Elizabeth is the law rep who wants to remove all evil desire from the world by force, and by removing all evil desire humans will no longer have the means to be depressed and therefore fuel Erebus, which is the reason why Makoto's soul needs to remain as the Great Seal. The Chaos rep wants to destroy all technology which is destroying the planet, and have humanity return to a more primitive, pre-industrial society. Neutral is simply stop the main bad guys (some corporation who makes the cognitive/daemon-powered tech) + law and chaos and save the future and is the "canon ending", though law and chaos are far from bad endings and are more so alternate solutions leading to different timelines.
Lyrics: We can only move forward Moving in the dark, darkest, darkest time I keep on reliving the last phase of our days I'm not sure how I feel anymore I think I'm homesick but I don't know (I don't know) How to go back to a place that's gone With a change of winds My heart fell and I can't find it Feeling empty Spending days and nights of silence 'Cause no words can explain how I feel In my mind, and I Oh, I don't know what I am but I miss myself 'Cause he's not here anymore How can I move on?

This is likely the most tragic Persona opening ever. Possibly the first not designed to get you hyped for the game you are about to play. Rather, it reminds you of the feelings of friends you left behind, and possibly your own feelings as well. Before you can even see how they are once you return to the dorm, you already understand, this has been rough on them; they are not okay, and there is a good chance you were not after The Journey’s ending either. This is not a story to be hyped for in the way the others are. This is a story jumping off of one of the most bittersweet endings in JRPG history. In P4 and P5, the protagonist leaves at the end yet always has the opportunity to come back and see his friends again or stay in touch over the phone. In P3, the protagonist is truly gone. For the player, as much as this may hit you in the moment, you have the luxury of knowing this is fictional, or that you can open a new save and Makoto lives again. Yet for your friends in the game, this is their reality. Their friend is really gone. In the months since Reload released, the emotions and pain from the ending may have died down naturally with time for players as we move on to new games or other life events. Yet this opening makes sure that once you sit back down with your controller, you understand what aftermath you are entering, what tragedy was left in your wake.
@TheDaphinator Imo it's the perfect continuation of their story, just as you highlited, but “Trepidation doesn't stop death, but it stops life” takes another meaning here.

No one is pointing out how at 0:30 the fool arcana breaks, and it can be concluded and insinuated from the story that after makoto's sacrifice things between the SEES members became akward
This is the perfect way to start an videogame expansion... With an song that goes deep into the players' feelings. I can't wait to play the Episode Aigis this September 10.
been wanting to play p3 for a while now and this popped in my feed. is this an expansion or just a dlc? (expansions are very big, dlc are small relatively)
@@itsomegali5342 Its an epilogue for persona 3, took about 30 hours to complete in FES but a lot of that was grinding (which the remake has a lot less of) so it'll probably end up being like 20 hours to finish for the average player. The main game will take you around 50-60 hours though.
@@ryanredacted9841 In Soul Phrase the camera moves in a field of coffins for most part and the screen is monochrome, this is basically the same thing but with doors.
I like the smearyness of The Darkness at 1:22. With no hint of it in the opening, I am very excited to see how The Shadow and "that" cutscene are handled.
This song reminds me of the glimmer of life you force yourself to run on when someone you love passes. Its chaotic, medolic and mournful. Its the not the answer, its the constant question that is presented during the grief process. "Spending days and nights in silences because no one can explain whats in my mind" The loss that is a reminder with the confusion of how to move on. Its beautiful
Holy crap, this is amazing! God, the feels.... I almost cried watching this and needed a moment to calm down a bit because the feels were incredibly strong with this one...
This is insanely good. Matches the darker tone of The Answer, stands out heavily from the other openings. It lacks a memorable chorus, but I think that almost works to its benefit.
They ACTUALLY gave this a PROPER OPENING CINEMATIC!?!?! Well, if everything ELSE didn't prove how dedicated ATLUS is to finally giving this iconic story the treatment it deserves, THIS CONFIRMED IT!!!
This is probably the most ***anime*** a Persona game's opening has ever gotten. If you told me that this was gonna be the opening for an anime adaptation of Fes/Episode Aigis, I would've believed you
@@KatMorningstar3 It's definitely the most cookie-cutter anime OP Persona has ever gotten, at least visually. I wonder if the outsourcing has anything to do with it, or if that's just the vibe they're putting out now.
@@petergriscom3431 ? It's not even close, but it's not supposed to be flashy. This opening ISNT supposed to happy, it about Aigis dealing with the loss of Makoto
@@petergriscom3431 They are gonna cook you for it, but you are right. It is very cookie-cutter and anime in a bad way. The part where Aigis is reaching out to the MC in the water is just so cliche. The visuals, combined with the sappy lyrics, lean way too hard into a wallowing self-pity kind of vibe. I get that the song is supposed to be sad, but it is too much.
My attempt at Lyrics: (With help from those in the replies) We can only move forward even in the darkest, darkest, darkest time I keep on rereading the last phase of our days I'm not sure how I feel anymore I think I'm homesick, but I don't know (I don't know) How to go back to a place that's gone With the change of winds: My heart fell and I can't find it Feeling empty Spending days and nights in silence 'Cause no words can explain how I feel In my mind And heart Oh I don't know what I am, but I miss myself 'Cause she's not here anymore How can I move forth Please tell me? In the end you will learn How to walk alone and be strong (Lost without you) Even the little things like the scent of his cologne It's a painful reminder that he's gone It feels like My heart is suffocating How do you make amends When you're gone from me? Did you come down with the wind? How come I feel so lost? Nothing makes sense to me I'm so numb, so lost without you
I think that Cause there’s nothing anymore How can I move forward Please tell me Should instead be Cause she’s not here anymore How can I move forth without me?
At this point, Ryota Kozuka should just be the main composer for Persona 6 cause this and his SMT stuff just continue to prove he's the best current composer at the Atlus Sound Team
Unfortunately I expect he'll be too busy working on mainline SMT to work on Persona (probably for the best, I don't really trust Konishi with SMT and I don't think Kitajoh has any experience working on the games.) Tsuchiya would also probably kill it but he's stuck on sound design, so I think Kitajoh's the next best choice to work on P6.
@@keisoma I don't disagree but he also does do a rather good job with the sound design so I can't complain too much, it is an important job after all. Still, it'd be nice if he could occasionally have a larger role in some soundtracks.

The animation is sooo perfect
This is the perfect way to start an videogame expansion... With an song that goes deep into the players' feelings. I can't wait to play the Episode Aigis this September 10.
been wanting to play p3 for a while now and this popped in my feed. is this an expansion or just a dlc? (expansions are very big, dlc are small relatively)
@@itsomegali5342 expansion. It adds another 20-28 hrs to the game.
@@itsomegali5342 Its an epilogue for persona 3, took about 30 hours to complete in FES but a lot of that was grinding (which the remake has a lot less of) so it'll probably end up being like 20 hours to finish for the average player. The main game will take you around 50-60 hours though.
0:33 P3P's opening reference
How?
@@ryanredacted9841 In Soul Phrase the camera moves in a field of coffins for most part and the screen is monochrome, this is basically the same thing but with doors.
@@maquinlol9673 I thought you said it because of the similar instruments and kind off the rhythm used from 0:23 to 0:32
@@davidandreguzmangalindo9284Yeah this too
Well a similar area to the Abyss of Time does appear in P3P, where you can find Margaret.
I like the smearyness of The Darkness at 1:22. With no hint of it in the opening, I am very excited to see how The Shadow and "that" cutscene are handled.
Ikr? Aaah, I'm scared they'll chicken out. I NEED that scene or my life won't be complete.
what scene?
@@blackflower56yt34 Sorry bud, can't tell ya. But you'll know it when you see it, I can assure you.
@@blackflower56yt34 YOU AINT READY MY GUY
@@deadaccount2968 Aaaah, will they really go though with it? Didn't they censor a couple of scenes from P3 already or rid them of much... pizzazz?
I love the part with aegis in the chair
You did it ATLUS... you emotionally destroyed me, again (in a good way)
10/10 Opening!
This song reminds me of the glimmer of life you force yourself to run on when someone you love passes. Its chaotic, medolic and mournful. Its the not the answer, its the constant question that is presented during the grief process.
"Spending days and nights in silences because no one can explain whats in my mind"
The loss that is a reminder with the confusion of how to move on. Its beautiful
Holy crap, this is amazing! God, the feels.... I almost cried watching this and needed a moment to calm down a bit because the feels were incredibly strong with this one...
Honestly, the more you hear it... the more your head bops to it...
This is insanely good. Matches the darker tone of The Answer, stands out heavily from the other openings. It lacks a memorable chorus, but I think that almost works to its benefit.
I think the part where the Colosse is shown ("It feel's like my heart is suffocating") is an iconic chorus
I FEEL LIKE SHOOTING MYSELF WITH THIS ONE ‼‼‼‼‼‼
To summon ur persona right?
May you rest in pepperonis

Holy hell just... the mood, the music, the symbolism it's beautiful.
This song feels very fitting considering what happened at the end of P3R. They're not over it.
yeah, that's what the answer is about. it's not just P3R.
@@daiyahigashikata Since this is DLC for P3R, it's simply what I'm referring it as.
@@daiyahigashikataJust look at the opening for P3FES. They are wildly different despite this game being a remake of the original game.
They ACTUALLY gave this a PROPER OPENING CINEMATIC!?!?! Well, if everything ELSE didn't prove how dedicated ATLUS is to finally giving this iconic story the treatment it deserves, THIS CONFIRMED IT!!!
Why wouldn't they? LMAO
@@granzedora they didn't in FES
@@jaidens.g.1920 I know. I'm just saying why wouldn't they. It's a remake after all so of course it was going to happen lol
Still happy it did though
See you next week everyone!
but when his evoker and mp3 player starts fading away, and with the scenes of him inside 😭😭😭
This is probably the most ***anime*** a Persona game's opening has ever gotten. If you told me that this was gonna be the opening for an anime adaptation of Fes/Episode Aigis, I would've believed you
@@KatMorningstar3 It's definitely the most cookie-cutter anime OP Persona has ever gotten, at least visually. I wonder if the outsourcing has anything to do with it, or if that's just the vibe they're putting out now.
@@petergriscom3431
?
It's not even close, but it's not supposed to be flashy.
This opening ISNT supposed to happy, it about Aigis dealing with the loss of Makoto
*P4 Golden Opening* literally exists
@@petergriscom3431 They are gonna cook you for it, but you are right. It is very cookie-cutter and anime in a bad way. The part where Aigis is reaching out to the MC in the water is just so cliche. The visuals, combined with the sappy lyrics, lean way too hard into a wallowing self-pity kind of vibe. I get that the song is supposed to be sad, but it is too much.
My attempt at Lyrics: (With help from those in the replies)
We can only move forward even in the darkest, darkest, darkest time
I keep on rereading the last phase of our days
I'm not sure how I feel anymore
I think I'm homesick, but I don't know (I don't know)
How to go back to a place that's gone
With the change of winds: My heart fell and I can't find it
Feeling empty
Spending days and nights in silence
'Cause no words can explain how I feel
In my mind
And heart
Oh I don't know what I am, but I miss myself
'Cause she's not here anymore
How can I move forth
Please tell me?
In the end you will learn
How to walk alone and be strong (Lost without you)
Even the little things like the scent of his cologne
It's a painful reminder that he's gone
It feels like
My heart is suffocating
How do you make amends
When you're gone from me?
Did you come down with the wind?
How come I feel so lost?
Nothing makes sense to me
I'm so numb, so lost without you
I think that
Cause there’s nothing anymore
How can I move forward
Please tell me
Should instead be
Cause she’s not here anymore
How can I move forth without me?
Also I think the last line should be
I’m so numb, so _lost_ without you
I heard:
I keep on re-living the last phase of our days
Which makes a lot of sense with the theme of The Answer
I heard more of a
"How can I move forth
Please tell me"
But everything else seems good to me.
I feel like the line should be "This painful reminder, that *he's* gone." since this part of the song is about how Aigis misses Makoto
IM CRYINNGNNG THIS SO PEAKK🔥
Agree 🔥🔥🔥
WERE MAKING IT OUT OF THE ABYSS OF TIME WITH THIS ONE
WE MOVING ON TO BRAND NEW DAYS WITH THIS ONE! 🗣🗣
WE'RE COPING WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️😭😭
definition of perfection
At this point, Ryota Kozuka should just be the main composer for Persona 6 cause this and his SMT stuff just continue to prove he's the best current composer at the Atlus Sound Team
He is very obviously the only one poised to measure up to Meguro's old status.
Unfortunately I expect he'll be too busy working on mainline SMT to work on Persona (probably for the best, I don't really trust Konishi with SMT and I don't think Kitajoh has any experience working on the games.) Tsuchiya would also probably kill it but he's stuck on sound design, so I think Kitajoh's the next best choice to work on P6.
@@quinceymorris2595 Tsuchiya is such great talent, and them making him do sound design is such a loss, imo.
@@keisoma I don't disagree but he also does do a rather good job with the sound design so I can't complain too much, it is an important job after all. Still, it'd be nice if he could occasionally have a larger role in some soundtracks.
@@quinceymorris2595 Kitajohs songs are very samey i’d be disappointed if the next persona game was just a slightly more generic p5
Legit, so thankful one of my favorite games got such a high-quality remake. Thanks Atlus!
The Answer with Reload’s gameplay is going to be a match made in heaven
Exactly my thinking. Reload is the first time I genuinely loved spending time in Tartarus
If it's gonna be as piss easy as reload then not really
Ok tough guy go play Nocturne or smth @@dde8721
@@tsakeboya i guess it's a bad thing to ask for engaging and not one-button gameplay now
@@dde8721 Bruh FES isn't hard. Plus in Reload they significantly buffed the 12 Shadows. All of them have way more HP and overhauled movesets. But SMT games are always easy once you get past the beginning.
Basically, the saddest modern persona opening. I like it.
This opening has so much meaning to it, it's heartwarming and emotional all at once❤😢
Gives me so much finish what we started, aigis finding her purpose cause of MAKOTO and now she looking for the answer for life
The visuals for this opening combined with the vocals are so beautiful I feel like crying to p3 again😭
It’s a lot more subdued than Full Moon Full Life, but still perfectly conveys the feelings of loss and grief. Great intro
At the beginning i just like it, now i cant stop listening to this, im sorry guys but i trully believe this is the best opening in all persona
same it really grew on me very quickly lol
This is the best opening to anything I've ever seen. You've won me over Atlus
The tone they went with this is absolutely perfect, one of my favorite persona openings
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
"Painful reminder, that he's gone" really broke me...
This entire animation is so f-ing great!
I legit thought it couldn’t get any better than Full Moon, Full Life. Both Disconnected and this opening are peak, simply beautiful
“When you fall, get right back up.”
Never in my years of playing Persona games have I ever gotten teary eyed over an opening until now 😢
God I fucking love this opening so much.
Massive Innocent Sin vibes from this.
Oh my god, the full version of the song will be a true masterpiece. I love the melody, it seems to be in pain itself...
gonna cry
mourning him as if i fought beside him bro
Atlus is making me have a heartful cry before Episode Aigis even releases. I'm so ready for next week!
Persona 3: Reload the Depression
IT'S PEAK! We've never seen anything like it, but it's perfect. Episode Aigis couldn't wish for a better opening.
Ah yes, the toaster's quest and her grief over the loss of her favourite door.
Love the touch of blues in the rhythm around the end. It made me realize I'd love if that was the main motif of P6's music.
fits Aegis so much fave persona 3 character
It’s getting closer, the biggest fight of their lives and against mankind’s dread.
Beautiful opening and the song too
It hit right in the feels
Next Tuesday going to be a going a tear jerker that’s for sure
Said it before I'll say it again this is absolutely DROP DEAD GORGEOUSSSS THANK YOU for dishing us out the most beautiful and incredible story that has touched my soul. These lyrics resonate with me so beautifully and I can't begin to express what it means to me and to everyone else who is touched by them. This will be an incredible journey. See you next week. ❤️
i'm tearing apart already 😭😭
Best persona opening so far
Really suits the message can't lie with you.
SHIT I ALMOST CRIED WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
YOURE NOT ALONE 😭😭 THIS IS AMAZING
BROTHER WE ALL ARE IT'S OK LET IT OUT IT'S INCREDIBLE
it’s beautiful it’s perfect
More than perfect it's freaking ETHEREAL
This is a great opening. Can't wait to play and be sad again
i love persona
This Opening is Beautiful and Perfect
Just played this game recently for the first time ever & beat it last week, and now we get this? holy shittt I’m so ready to cry again
It starts in the exact same way as Full Moon Full Life but the butterfly flies over Makoto's other eye
I knew it was kozuka! Got that signature drone sound I love
Great visuals and a calm song! Can't wait for Episode Aigis to come out!
So this is where the 2d animation money went
Beautiful 😭🤧
I never played the answer when I was playing FES really looking forward to this! As a fan of RPGs. Thank you, Atlus
WE WANTING TO SEE HIM AGAIN WITH THIS ONE
I noticed that there is a dislike button on comments and wondered if people actually received the notifications. I disliked your comment because I have seen this type a thousand times already (find a new comment already), so could you tell me if you received the dislike notification? It would help me feel like I'm actually doing something to discourage lame and uninspired comments.
