this game changed my outlook on life itself, its such a journey, not to mention the ending hits so damn hard it makes a man cry, so glad i watched your entire journey since episode 1, i cant wait to see what else you do from now on Spider Bru 🔥 AIGIS BEST GIRL
Glad you stuck around bro! I hope my videos keep bringing you joy And yeah as someone who was contemplating a lot of the core themes of this game, it hit hard for me too. Always will
Even though I'm a Persona veteran and have been playing these games for years, it has been an honour and a privilege to join you on your journey through this game man. Definitely the best playthroughs I've seen on UA-cam for this series. Period. Your commentary, reactions, and stellar editing have been a joy to watch and tag along with from start to end. I'm looking forward to whatever else you decide to do going forward, be it more Persona, or anything else you might enjoy, I'm definitely a fan for life now. Best of luck going forward Bru!
I shared this with my discord because of how happy it made me. Thank you for your kind words, and I’m glad my efforts are being seen, especially so by awesome people like you! A dream come true 🙏🏼
Its honestly kinda sad this is one of if not the only blind playthrough on the entirety of UA-cam were someone actually romanced Aigis loyally. On another note this was one of the most charming playthrough ive seen period, absolute fantastic job.
This is one of the greatest story in my opinion, the character of Aigis is such a beautiful thing, I've make multiple entire essays about how Aigis being a machine is truly human, how she shows we can change, how we can struggle, how one can enjoy the life they have, and most of all; how we decide our own purpose and choose our own meaning to our life.
also, in regards to Igor’s dialogue. The elevator reached its destination. the place both you and it were fated to go. Igor’s contract stated you would accept everything that would happen. by accepting your destiny, your final fate, you accepted EVERYTHING. you accepted that, in the end, you would stand alone against Nyx. you accepted that you were destined to sacrifice yourself to save everybody. and once the contract has been fulfilled, Igor and his attendant’s services are no longer needed. Thus, they disappear, wishing their guest well as they finish their journey. The Fool’s Journey.
The reason why both p3 and p4 have repetitive variations of monsters/shadows is to save both game files and reuse assets. P4 added new ones for each shadow arcana. Despite it all, they keep making them different, status wise, to keep you on your toes and change your strategy. Yes, Tartarus is repetitive, that was the point, and that's why they added the Social Links, Elizabeth's side quests, etc. to cut the grind down. Reload even added more voice acting, and added new character interactions with both SEES and Takaya.
Right! I’m not trying to dismiss the great things they did with the remake. I just think, in terms of Tartarus itself, they had more room to improve. I’m actually not that big of a Tartarus hater, but it’s not good at all for making content. I found that I would shave hours off of my recordings just getting Tartarus grinds off
Congratulations on beating the game Bru! The final Judgement Persona is a special fusion of Thanatos(Ryoji's true form) and Orpheus(your starting persona) and is canonically the ultimate evolution of the MC's persona: Messiah, the one who gave his life to save the world. Yeah... so much of this game is so much more tragic with the context of how it ends. I really advise checking out the lyrics for the cresdits song "Memories of You". It is sung from the point of view of Aegis after the ending and is so beautiful.
These videos have been a way for me to reexperience Persona 3 Reaload. You're so fun to watch and the fact that every video is so well edited made this one of my favorite playthrough. Can't wait to see what other games you play, and remember to always take your time 👏
Thanks for always sticking around bro! I always appreciate the kind words you drop and the help for when I was struggling at the beginning 😂 I’m humbled to hear I’m one of your favorites and I’ll keep delivering to live up to that expectation 💪🏼
I came for a Persona 3 reaction, now I'm here for your content. I'm glad you had a great time with the game and I'm happy to have found someone very entertaining to watch. I don't comment, but I'll be watching.
I’m so glad to hear you like it man. It was a great experience and I’m glad I saw it all the way through. And though I’d love to interact with you in the comments, as long as the videos bring you any kind of joy, my job is done here
I'll be blunt: I was very worried that Atlus were going to change the ending with this remake, or have it actually be some multiversal sequel like FFVII is experiencing. The fact that the dev team for Reload refused to do this and put all new players through the pain of the ending tells a lot. There may be a new team now working on Persona, but this team earned my trust with Reload. Whenever Persona 6 comes out, I'll be there.
Aigis knew Makoto was dying because she can see his vitals fading. Considering your tendency to get attached to characters, if you ever played the Xenoblade games, they would destroy you emotionally.
@@SpiderBru the second one is good, the dub can be a bit shacky at times, but there are some iconic performances, and you have to have Welsh catgirl Nia
Sad ending for sure, but it was funny when Junpei didn’t know why Sanada was coming to get him and then 30 seconds later he said “Our Promise” with such conviction.
massive claps for ya man cuz that was: a marvel end game moment to the very end even on your generally thoughts and experience which was great man from the laughs to heartretching reactions of seeing ya witnessing big moments for your first time view and how fun/memorable it was of ya finishing through many trials and tribulations no matter from tartarus or bosses in the story to the social links alone with everybody & with your team, persona is one hellva game that still holds alot in our hearts even with it's ups and downs performance or the themes that carries from one game to another, I'm glad you had a blast amigo and take as much time as you need to recover from the experience til the dlc episode and after finishing other games that you loved to do too cuz it does take alot out of ya mentally but until when you can tackle through a new one next year hope you still have a good weekend and thank you bru for playing p3 reload❤
I feel the same way. The story is heavy and I don’t know if there’s topping it rn, but we have to wait and see! Persona 5 is the next one on the list in terms of those games
Yeah, still here big man. This series was a special time, and this is one of those banger games that put me on to a creator that really feels special to me, and for that, besides filling me with love and sadness and just giving me so much to think about, I'll always be grateful to this game. I'm not big on the social side of things, but you've got a big fan in me.
I heard “you got a friend in me” play in my head when I read that last part 😂 I think this game is an important lesson to just about anyone. Death is an inevitable part of life and to live in its fullness despite the end is something we all need to do. It should be a call to action, not a reason to fear it. I learned that myself and I was coming to terms with it as I played through the game
Just wanted to say it's been delightful watching your playthrough. Your reactions, speculations, and humor never failed to make this whole thing enjoyable. I've been subbed since I saw the first part, and I'm planning to stick around to see what you do next. Here's to the channel's growth. Keep it up, Bru!
I came across your channel bout 2 months ago and I've really enjoyed your videos on Persona 3 Reload! I really enjoyed your commentary and whatnot you have in your vids! I'll definitely stay and continue to watch the videos that you make!
Great episode as always, excellent ending to one of my now favorite persona series. congrats on a thousand subs again, also. it’s been seriously so fun going through this with you, and i look forward to seeing future stuff from you. another persona playthrough would be great and i’ll be really excited when the time comes around for persona 5, but i know anything you do will be fun to watch. wish all the best for your future efforts, and hope you get the recognition you deserve, man
Wow bro I’m so happy to read this, and I’m glad you could almost reexperience the game with me. Persona 5 will come soon but I wanna make sure I’m ready, and also make sure I have some diversity on the channel! Thanks for the kind words bro it keeps me moving 💪🏼
Thank you for playing this to the end Bru. None of my friends are into RPGs like this so I've had nobody to share how much I love this game with and it was so freaking awesome to hop along for this ride. Also so freaking stoked that you will be eventually playing other persona games :) but yes definitely take your time. I've never played the answer either but I've heard it's' a bit shorter
This makes me beyond happy that I could be that friend for you man! I know what it’s like to want to share your passions with someone and have nobody around, and I hope I can continue being that guy through the screen that you can experience your favorite titles with 😭🙏🏼 That’s good to hear about the answer, maybe I can get a decent 5 episodes out of that! Thanks for being along for the ride ❤️
I really enjoyed this all! I really enjoy the way you make your videos and can't wait for your elden ring play through as well. Thank you I had a wonderful time.
The Chidori scene at the hospital man.... That scene *actually* broke me... Junpei has had some god tier character development throughout the game. And seeing he's supposed to be the funny best bro character makes this hit even harder. Chidori remembering Junpei as the "kind warm person at the end of a long tunnel", the fact Chidori herself said that she WANTS to live, Junpei crying tears of happiness and then hearing the girls crying because they're actually happy for him was so emotional... Needless to say, this was the final moment of closure Junpei needed before going into the final battle with no regrets. Chidori gave Junpei her life. Junpei gave Chidori hope through the flowers. That hope *restored* Chidori's life. Quite poetic and REALLY beautiful. And I also really like that if you don't get those flowers *and* push Junpei to seize the chance, she stays dead. Those flowers on that one day are the dealbreaker, and if Junpei remains hesitant and refuses to act, the consequences of his inaction is that Chidori doesn't return.
And what's EVEN better for DA MAN is that in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, it's confirmed that not only that Junpei became a baseball coach for the little league (as he said that he'll get back into baseball in his last linked episode), but in the end he and Chidori actually got together! This is further confirmed by the fact that in Junpei's Persona 4 Arena Ultimax desig, he is wearing a necklace that strongly resembles the accessory Chidori wears on her head, and it was stated during a Q&A at Tokyo Game Show 2014 that said necklace is actually from Chidori's favorite apparel brand and was a gift from her to Junpei!
That’s awesome, and I heard P4 Arena, he doesn’t use an Evoker, meaning he’s truly come full circle and accepted himself. I always love your comments diving into the insight of the game! I’ll miss them!
I’m gonna decide over the next couple of months. I really do want to 3, 4, then 5 in order because of my OCD, but if I’m being honest, I’m much more interested in 5. Regardless, they’re both getting played
I love ryoji’s character so much!! He’s my favorite and I’m not gonna write a whole essay here about it. I’m here to say that I enjoyed your play through a lot! Fun fact: the nyx boss fight in the original game was disgustingly hard like absurdly hard it took me an hour to beat
I feel like they made the Nyx fight too easy here. It really should be a challenge. Some changes I would make: 1). Nyx should have gotten a turn whenever doing an Arcana Shift. It is way too easy to burst damage through each of Nyx's forms before they even get a chance to use their gimmicks. 2). Nyx's final form should have resisted all damage instead of just being neutral. 3). The final form should also be guaranteed to use Grim Transcendence each turn.
@@SpiderBru xtrestredyrtych I feel like his character is one of the most tragic in the game.. He wanted to understand why people form connections between each other and to define the meaningful connection between us and himself. And he did do that he learned how to feel, connect, and understand others from us. When he realizes his feelings towards us are love, Ryoji focuses on how happy he was to be able to have such an experience. He made connections to other characters like his friendship with Junpei and the others, only to in the end learn that he’s gonna get taken over by an omnipotent god against his will and essentially kill all of them and us the person he loves. In the short time we get to know him we teach him to love humanity just for him to remember that he’s going to be the cause of its fall. We get to see him in genuine pain over the thought that we’re gonna live out our last days in despair. The scene where he just begs s.e.e.s to kill him destroyed me during my first play through and p3r just made it hurt more. I guess the part that really got me when I was thinking of his character is that he lives out his last month as “himself” alone in guilt over something that he has no control over. Ryoji deserved so much better and I’m a major sucker for characters who are doomed by the narrative
and so, the long journey comes to a close… at least until September. Other media using the Persona 3 cast are Persona 3 Portable: a visual-novel demake for the PSP that features a completely original story using a female protagonists, with unique social links and secret endings! Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight: a spin-off game taking place in a dream dance contest arranged by Elizabeth Persona 4 Arena/Persona 4 Arena Ultimax: Taking place after the events of Persona 4, the P3 cast are all grown up and have their own stories interacting with the cast of Persona 4. Persona Q/Persona Q2: A semi-crossover with the ATLUS series Etrian Odyssey, the Persona Q games are crossovers between the casts of 3 and 4, with P5’s cast and the Female Protagonist from Persona 3 Portable joining in the sequel. Naturally, none of these NEED to be played, especially on the channel, but if you’d ever like to see these characters again on your own time, ATLUS definitely made sure you had options!
Bruh I finished the game a day ago so I could watch this and never picked up makoto dies in aigis’s lap I thought he was just resting and now I’ve been staring at the ceiling for the past 10 mins and now I know y the games main theme is death
It always surprises me how much effort you put into editing, thanks for the amazing play through, and I’m so glad I found your vids! edit: also your thoughts on the overall game at the end is completely fair. The game really has a bad pacing in the beginning and the gameplay is not for everyone. Thanks for sticking through it though and glad you were honest and it’s refreshing to hear!
I always try to improve that 1% each video. I hope I’m keeping that promise to myself 🙏🏼 And to be clear, those were constructive criticisms of the game but I understand they couldn’t change too much without completely wiping the foundations. I love to say what I don’t like about games that I love because I think that we all have room to improve and that putting the bad in the same light as the good is important!
One of the best P3R playthroughs I've seen. Thank you, it was a great watch. I think you're a great content creator and I'm sure you'll just keep growing. Also, you might wanna check the lyrics to the credits song!
This became one of the most important games in my life giving a beautiful message that makes you glad to be alive. Now I promise myself to enjoy my life until the very end. Rest in peace Makoto Yuki, our hero that found the answer to live.🌸🌸🌸✊✊✊
Man, congrats on finishing The Journey! The Persona games are VERY lengthy, so it's more than understandable taking a long break from them, it's actually recommended even, since they can be SO draining. Persona 3 suffers from the Tartarus grind/slog, because at the end of the day, it's still a JRPG with levels and all that, but the story more than makes up for it and it holds really well for a game from 2006. Reload added some quality of life improvements to make the game better and more interesting, but keeping the original experience more of less intact. Persona 4 Golden has a great inner story, although the grind is still a bit of a problem, though if there's a remake coming in the future, I'm sure it'll get the "Reload" treatment and become a bit better to bear through. Persona 5 Royal is a phenomenal game that is brimming with style and personality, definitely worth your time (and A LOT of it, since it's considerably longer than any other Persona game), though it's muchbetter in the sense of grinding for levels and all that jazz, from my experience with it. Bottom line is; I'm sure you noticed the Persona community is VERY passionate about it, and will understand if you need to take a long break from the games, but will be here to watch your next venture into the series whenever it happens. So keep on keeping on, Bru! :D
Thank you! This journey is super special to me and I’m glad I have these videos to look back at. I definitely wanna be in the mood to give y’all and myself the best content/experience possible, so I think early next year is gonna be when I start P4G, then midway into 2025 I plan on tackling the behemoth Persona 5 Royal. I’m glad you were here to experience the journey with me 💪
Done with work and video finished. I ain’t a fair weather sub. I didn’t fall in love with this channel just because it had Persona on it. I stayed here for you. I’m staying right here my boi!
Can’t have me crying again after the finale bro! Haha super humbling to hear. I always appreciate every comment you leave man. Really. See you very soon 💪🏼
I'm sure a lot of people are saying the same thing I'm about to: I came for Persona, but I stayed for you. You are an absolutely incredible content creator, and your Persona 3 playthrough has been one of the only ones I have stayed with every single step of the way. Even better news; I love Elden Ring too! Legit one of my favorite games of all time! Expect to see me around for that too!
That’s humbling to hear man. I understand that everyone has different motives for being on UA-cam and honestly I contemplated my channel falling off after this game ended more times than I’d like to admit. I accepted that a lot of people here are just diehard Persona fans that want to see an interesting and blind take on their favorite video game and that’s completely valid. I’d be lying if I said I’m not more quick to tune into videos that have games I love in them. But to see the comments like this is honestly surprising to me. Maybe I don’t give myself enough credit Thanks for being here 🫡
If your biggest complaints about the game are pacing and Tarturus, you'd certainly like Persona 5 Royal more in that sense. More unique dungeons, and things don't take as long to pick up storywise. Tarturus was a vast improvement from the original game, the small variety they gave it in Reload was much more bearable than the original P3s. It's a bit of a shame they couldn't change the fundamental aspect of Tarturus, which was the repetitiveness, but I appreciate how much they improved it. Appreciated the playthrough, brother!
Congrats on beating one of my favorite games ever! The devs still hasn't fixed the issue even in Reload where the end credits gets blurry Also appreciate the editing and the special thumbnails on each Persona 3 video
I said it before, I'll say it again. As of Reload, I've experienced the Persona 3 ending four times, FES, Portable, the movies and now Reload. And it never loses its impact. I know you gave this game a 9 and with good reason but that ending for me practically negates any issues I had. I know you aren't starting 4 and 5 yet but when you do, just some advice, don't expect Persona 3. Every Persona game is amazing in its own unique way. No one game is like the other. But most of all, I hope you enjoy them as much as you enjoyed this one
I heard that this one has the heaviest story and I don’t expect the others to have as much of an impact story wise, which is why I said this is the perfect one for me to start with. Had I started with 5, the gameplay elements would’ve made me throw up probably lol but hopefully 5’s story holds up. I gave this game a 9 overall but mainly because as a creator, streamlining gameplay and making the game feel exciting definitely helps. I’m sure if I played it on my own (which I will in NG+, soon) I would put the issues to the side as well. I just think it’s important to point out flaws in the games we love so that we can see improvement in the future :)
"All-Out Yap Attack." Yes, but have you considered that the Arcana is the means of which all is revealed? Memes aside, Persona 3 is truly peak but I completely understand not jumping into the next Persona game of choice as they are long commitments. And I say Persona 5 Royal is probably the best choice for the next game to play as the gameplay is similar to P3R. Persona 4...Persona 4 is a fun experience but there are definitely things that didn't age as well beyond the gameplay and graphics, and I admit I like it more than 5.
I heard P4 was the “cozy” one out of the 3 and I like that but I can’t get behind playing a game on PC that looks like it’s made for 3DS. Again, no hate I’m sure it’s awesome but that’s just me. I like my videos to look good
Fantastic journey bro! P3 really is my favourite atlus game storywise. For gameplay it has to be dds or maybe smt 5. The other personas are good too but they are very easy
On Merciless mode I only used my MC with no party members because I maxed out all my Social Links and my Personas are maxed level with every strongest Physical and Elemental attacks and strongest Weapons and armor. Hell, I even defeated the Ultimate Adversary that took me two FREAKING hours to learn the mechanics of the fight.
Sounds hardcore. I have no desire to do a challenge run like that, but I gotta respect the dedication. Once I finish P4G and P5R I’ll go back and do something like that, maybe 😂
If you ever decide you want to play another Persona Game, I'd recommend playing P5 next. P4G is apparently going to get a remake similar to how P3 got P3R soon-ish but that might be a long way off. You can play P4G on PC but the game is old and while the story and characters are amazing, it suffers from its age. So I do recommend playing P5 next.
Believed or not this is the Best version of Tartarus. As someone who has played 3 out the 4 versions of persona 3, reaload has the Best Tartarus by far. There was not fortune teller at escape, the Golden hands were horrible in FES, they only give You materials for weapons. Portable was the version that incorpórate the save people request. And there was not monad's Doors, insted Monad was an opcional dungeon. A Tartarus Kiwami would be a good description (Kiwami means extreme).
I agree! I’m sure it’s the best version and I’m not trying to put it down, because they had to include it and they tried to improve upon it from what I hear but I just think they missed the mark just slightly
Yeah I think in other versions of this game each phase of Nyx has like 6000 hp. I've seen clips of a phase almost being over only for Akihiko to get charmed and heal Nyx. Anyway, what're u planning on playing next? I got into playing the mainline Yakuza series lately Edit: I didnt watch the entirety of the video before commenting. But still. Yakuza's pretty neat. Most games aren't dubbed in english tho
I'm kinda new but the general consensus is to start with yakuza 0. U can start with yakuza: like a dragon too but it'll enrich ur experience to play the others first. TLDR: start with 0 and work thru numerically. I just started 3 and I haven't even fought anyone yet
In the original version of P3 FES, you have no control over your party members and the AI is not the most intuitive. The first 12 phases of Nyx have 1500 health each, but the final phase has 6000. The main problem with the final phase is party members getting charmed and healing Nyx to full health. Also, the original version had a move called Moonless Gown that made Nyx invulnerable for a few turns, but if you attack when it's up it's an instant KO. Trying to organise your party when you have no direct control over them in that fight was a nightmare 😅. It took me over 4 hours to get through it and Nyx got healed 3 times by my party. I literally had no items left by the end of it, and almost rage quit a few times 🤣
@@SpiderBru yeaaah.Fuuka is actually a robot in the og😂To the point where she and Ken have 3 voice actors the og,they have new voices in the spin-offs in persona 4(I will not spoil it for you)and the reload voice actors My favorite og voice is aigis because in the og she is a robot and once the game progresses she is more human,whereas in reload you meet her and already sounds human.
Hey man i just noticed that i wasnt subbed even though i watched ur whole playthrough so i went and did that. The whole heartfelt conscripted speech u gave at the end of the vid touched me tbh nd i think ill stick around for the elden ring playthrough too. ❤🤟 P.s. i respect ur decision to play p5 first but i personally think that the dip in graphics give p4s cutscenes alot of charm and the gameplay is nowhere nearly as good as p5s so if u decide to play to p4 after, it may be a slog
Bro I’ve been there with other creators it’s perfectly fine! 😂 and that’s definitely something to consider. I know that P5 is the flagship child of the series and is much longer in length too, and now that I’m familiar with the formula I’m sure I can knock out P4 in about 12 episodes? What do you think?
@@SpiderBru idk how long ur recordings are but my save file in p4g is about 51 hours long and thats with me not listening to all the voice lines and just reading quickly lol
Man, i wish you can play or beat persona 4 golden, persona 5 royal and persona 3 reload dlc: aigis episode: the answer P.S P3R DLC Is a new story starting aigis and not minato (main protagonist in P3)
« Tartarus was repetitive.. » Don’t go play the original game, it’s suffering compared to this. But congrats for going to the very end, you discovered how insane this game was !
I highly recommend you play persona 5 Royale obviously not immediately, since it's a long term commitment, P5 does have the best pacing out of all persona games imo the dungeon crawling isn't as grindy, and has a much better system for the dungeons that I won't go into because of spoilers, but they feel more emersive than running up a bunch of stairs lol Fun Fact: if you ever don't feel like grinding you can always lower the difficulty cheese the Grim reaper and just hit max level when you kill him even at early game If you are also down for it, I would highly recommend checking out the Yakuza series they have a lot of installments, but are much shorter than persona and also have completely different gameplay that won't rot your brain
Thanks for the suggestions man! I’ve heard a lot about Yakuza and the fan base is mad chill from what I’ve seen. Definitely on my list. Persona 5 is the next one I’m playing just because I want to experience something more modernized graphically, and Persona 4 just doesn’t make the cut rn. I’m sure it’s a great title and I would LOVE to go from 3 to 4 to 5 to satisfy my OCD but 5 is happening a few months from now. Trust that
I mean P3 reload is good but not the best persona game I have played it 5 times already and saw the story a few times so I can say it is good and the theurgy attacks are goated but people over glaze this game I get that P3 hasn't had an a game for the last few years but even as a persona fan myself they need to chill. that aside I definitely liked your play through it hit all the "yeses* in my opinion and was really fun.
@@SpiderBru of course. I feel as though I need to clarify I am not saying I hate the game but it feels like the changes didn't add the depth of what makes a persona game fun for me at least. It's only an opinion and I know you liked the game which I can respect because it is still at the end of the day still in my top 20.
This is epic, as they say.
Gracias Mexican Aigis
De nada
Its crazy how makoto fought off death for another two months just to make it to graduation day. He's strong
I realized that during the credits and I was blown back. MaGOATo
When I fought Takaya I had Thanatos with me and I verbally said
"You want Death ? I'll give you death....... THANATOS !!"
TALK TO EM!!!
The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed
Please no
this game changed my outlook on life itself, its such a journey, not to mention the ending hits so damn hard it makes a man cry, so glad i watched your entire journey since episode 1, i cant wait to see what else you do from now on Spider Bru 🔥
AIGIS BEST GIRL
Glad you stuck around bro! I hope my videos keep bringing you joy
And yeah as someone who was contemplating a lot of the core themes of this game, it hit hard for me too. Always will
Doesn’t matter how many times I watch that ending, I cry every single damn time
I may or may not have teared up again while editing the video
@@SpiderBru really gonna miss this series tho! So excited to watch whatever it is you do next bro
I haven't watched this yet, but I just want you to know it's been a helluva time watching you go through this absolutely phenomenal game.
And it’s been a helluva honor having you choose to watch me with your spare time. Thank you 🙏🏼
"Will you... untie my ribbon?"
Everyone else in the dorm just hears a CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CRUNCH
Can’t blame him
Even though I'm a Persona veteran and have been playing these games for years, it has been an honour and a privilege to join you on your journey through this game man. Definitely the best playthroughs I've seen on UA-cam for this series. Period. Your commentary, reactions, and stellar editing have been a joy to watch and tag along with from start to end. I'm looking forward to whatever else you decide to do going forward, be it more Persona, or anything else you might enjoy, I'm definitely a fan for life now. Best of luck going forward Bru!
I shared this with my discord because of how happy it made me. Thank you for your kind words, and I’m glad my efforts are being seen, especially so by awesome people like you!
A dream come true 🙏🏼
no joke finished the game the minute this was uploaded
This has been a journey, now time to watch the video
Its honestly kinda sad this is one of if not the only blind playthrough on the entirety of UA-cam were someone actually romanced Aigis loyally.
On another note this was one of the most charming playthrough ive seen period, absolute fantastic job.
Wow man thank you 😭 once her social link started I was set on it, she’s definitely my pick for best girl
DLC coming soon 👀
This is one of the greatest story in my opinion, the character of Aigis is such a beautiful thing, I've make multiple entire essays about how Aigis being a machine is truly human, how she shows we can change, how we can struggle, how one can enjoy the life they have, and most of all; how we decide our own purpose and choose our own meaning to our life.
Aigis is a beautiful character. She is the best written “becoming human robots” I’ve ever seen
also, in regards to Igor’s dialogue.
The elevator reached its destination. the place both you and it were fated to go. Igor’s contract stated you would accept everything that would happen. by accepting your destiny, your final fate, you accepted EVERYTHING. you accepted that, in the end, you would stand alone against Nyx.
you accepted that you were destined to sacrifice yourself to save everybody.
and once the contract has been fulfilled, Igor and his attendant’s services are no longer needed. Thus, they disappear, wishing their guest well as they finish their journey.
The Fool’s Journey.
Very well put! I love how it all ties together in the end
The reason why both p3 and p4 have repetitive variations of monsters/shadows is to save both game files and reuse assets. P4 added new ones for each shadow arcana. Despite it all, they keep making them different, status wise, to keep you on your toes and change your strategy.
Yes, Tartarus is repetitive, that was the point, and that's why they added the Social Links, Elizabeth's side quests, etc. to cut the grind down. Reload even added more voice acting, and added new character interactions with both SEES and Takaya.
Right! I’m not trying to dismiss the great things they did with the remake. I just think, in terms of Tartarus itself, they had more room to improve. I’m actually not that big of a Tartarus hater, but it’s not good at all for making content. I found that I would shave hours off of my recordings just getting Tartarus grinds off
Fastest video click of my life
Congratulations on beating the game Bru!
The final Judgement Persona is a special fusion of Thanatos(Ryoji's true form) and Orpheus(your starting persona) and is canonically the ultimate evolution of the MC's persona: Messiah, the one who gave his life to save the world.
Yeah... so much of this game is so much more tragic with the context of how it ends.
I really advise checking out the lyrics for the cresdits song "Memories of You". It is sung from the point of view of Aegis after the ending and is so beautiful.
I’ve been told to look this up! I definitely will!
And I love the metaphorical context of some of the persona fusions. I’m glad I fused messiah
Just finished the outro, respect to you for doing things how you want to and not just doing the thing a lot of people do now a days.
Gotta keep it real man 💪🏼
watching over akinaris mother talk about death like that has never made me so emotional

These videos have been a way for me to reexperience Persona 3 Reaload. You're so fun to watch and the fact that every video is so well edited made this one of my favorite playthrough. Can't wait to see what other games you play, and remember to always take your time 👏
Thanks for always sticking around bro! I always appreciate the kind words you drop and the help for when I was struggling at the beginning 😂 I’m humbled to hear I’m one of your favorites and I’ll keep delivering to live up to that expectation 💪🏼
I came for a Persona 3 reaction, now I'm here for your content. I'm glad you had a great time with the game and I'm happy to have found someone very entertaining to watch. I don't comment, but I'll be watching.
I’m so glad to hear you like it man. It was a great experience and I’m glad I saw it all the way through.
And though I’d love to interact with you in the comments, as long as the videos bring you any kind of joy, my job is done here
I'll be blunt: I was very worried that Atlus were going to change the ending with this remake, or have it actually be some multiversal sequel like FFVII is experiencing. The fact that the dev team for Reload refused to do this and put all new players through the pain of the ending tells a lot.
There may be a new team now working on Persona, but this team earned my trust with Reload. Whenever Persona 6 comes out, I'll be there.
It’s definitely not for the faint of heart but I’m glad they just put a warning in the beginning of the game and kept it the way it was
Aigis knew Makoto was dying because she can see his vitals fading.
Considering your tendency to get attached to characters, if you ever played the Xenoblade games, they would destroy you emotionally.
That’s an awesome detail!
I’ve played the first one and the second one has been downloaded on my Switch for over a year but hasn’t been touched 😂
@@SpiderBru the second one is good, the dub can be a bit shacky at times, but there are some iconic performances, and you have to have Welsh catgirl Nia
Sad ending for sure, but it was funny when Junpei didn’t know why Sanada was coming to get him and then 30 seconds later he said “Our Promise” with such conviction.
The journey was amazing. I'm glad we could witness this story with ya, here's to more peak in the future
massive claps for ya man cuz that was: a marvel end game moment to the very end even on your generally thoughts and experience which was great man from the laughs to heartretching reactions of seeing ya witnessing big moments for your first time view and how fun/memorable it was of ya finishing through many trials and tribulations no matter from tartarus or bosses in the story to the social links alone with everybody & with your team, persona is one hellva game that still holds alot in our hearts even with it's ups and downs performance or the themes that carries from one game to another, I'm glad you had a blast amigo and take as much time as you need to recover from the experience til the dlc episode and after finishing other games that you loved to do too cuz it does take alot out of ya mentally but until when you can tackle through a new one next year hope you still have a good weekend and thank you bru for playing p3 reload❤
Thank you for being here man. I’ll be back with some Persona heaters before you know it 🫡❤️
Persona 3 reload definitely in my top 10 games of all time. As my first persona game The whole story and themes hit me so hard and the ending bro😭
I feel the same way. The story is heavy and I don’t know if there’s topping it rn, but we have to wait and see! Persona 5 is the next one on the list in terms of those games
2:24:15 straight up called my mom after this
You should bro… I wanted to call my grandma but it was 2 in the morning lol
Nyx was definitely a lot harder in the original game. Even before portable. It'd be interesting to see you play portable, and maybe FES.
Not a bad idea for a stream game 👀
Yeah, still here big man.
This series was a special time, and this is one of those banger games that put me on to a creator that really feels special to me, and for that, besides filling me with love and sadness and just giving me so much to think about, I'll always be grateful to this game.
I'm not big on the social side of things, but you've got a big fan in me.
I heard “you got a friend in me” play in my head when I read that last part 😂
I think this game is an important lesson to just about anyone. Death is an inevitable part of life and to live in its fullness despite the end is something we all need to do. It should be a call to action, not a reason to fear it. I learned that myself and I was coming to terms with it as I played through the game
One of my favorite games of all time glad you got to experience it
Just wanted to say it's been delightful watching your playthrough. Your reactions, speculations, and humor never failed to make this whole thing enjoyable. I've been subbed since I saw the first part, and I'm planning to stick around to see what you do next. Here's to the channel's growth. Keep it up, Bru!
I always try to outdo myself with each upload. It’s humbling to hear that people stick around for the videos I make. Thank you 🙏🏼
I came across your channel bout 2 months ago and I've really enjoyed your videos on Persona 3 Reload!
I really enjoyed your commentary and whatnot you have in your vids!
I'll definitely stay and continue to watch the videos that you make!
That means so much that you enjoy what I make. We’re at the beginning of the channel’s life, glad you’re here for the ride 🙏🏼
The arcana is the means by which all is revealed
Please no
You know, Persona final bosses stay yapping, and I think nyx is probably the most infamous of them all.
Sad as it is. I've been waiting for this... thanks for these videos bru
Thanks for being here Sebastian, it’s been a ride fr
Dude I never thought I would be so hyped about your gameplay!!! I'm so glad I found your channel!!! 😊
And I’m glad you’re here! 🙏🏼 I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it
Great episode as always, excellent ending to one of my now favorite persona series. congrats on a thousand subs again, also. it’s been seriously so fun going through this with you, and i look forward to seeing future stuff from you. another persona playthrough would be great and i’ll be really excited when the time comes around for persona 5, but i know anything you do will be fun to watch. wish all the best for your future efforts, and hope you get the recognition you deserve, man
Wow bro I’m so happy to read this, and I’m glad you could almost reexperience the game with me. Persona 5 will come soon but I wanna make sure I’m ready, and also make sure I have some diversity on the channel! Thanks for the kind words bro it keeps me moving 💪🏼
Thank you for playing this to the end Bru. None of my friends are into RPGs like this so I've had nobody to share how much I love this game with and it was so freaking awesome to hop along for this ride. Also so freaking stoked that you will be eventually playing other persona games :) but yes definitely take your time. I've never played the answer either but I've heard it's' a bit shorter
This makes me beyond happy that I could be that friend for you man! I know what it’s like to want to share your passions with someone and have nobody around, and I hope I can continue being that guy through the screen that you can experience your favorite titles with 😭🙏🏼
That’s good to hear about the answer, maybe I can get a decent 5 episodes out of that! Thanks for being along for the ride ❤️
I really enjoyed this all! I really enjoy the way you make your videos and can't wait for your elden ring play through as well. Thank you I had a wonderful time.
Judging by your username I’m sure you’ll be a great help for when I inevitably get folded during ER 🤣 thank you so much man
The Chidori scene at the hospital man.... That scene *actually* broke me... Junpei has had some god tier character development throughout the game. And seeing he's supposed to be the funny best bro character makes this hit even harder. Chidori remembering Junpei as the "kind warm person at the end of a long tunnel", the fact Chidori herself said that she WANTS to live, Junpei crying tears of happiness and then hearing the girls crying because they're actually happy for him was so emotional... Needless to say, this was the final moment of closure Junpei needed before going into the final battle with no regrets.
Chidori gave Junpei her life. Junpei gave Chidori hope through the flowers. That hope *restored* Chidori's life. Quite poetic and REALLY beautiful. And I also really like that if you don't get those flowers *and* push Junpei to seize the chance, she stays dead. Those flowers on that one day are the dealbreaker, and if Junpei remains hesitant and refuses to act, the consequences of his inaction is that Chidori doesn't return.
And what's EVEN better for DA MAN is that in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, it's confirmed that not only that Junpei became a baseball coach for the little league (as he said that he'll get back into baseball in his last linked episode), but in the end he and Chidori actually got together! This is further confirmed by the fact that in Junpei's Persona 4 Arena Ultimax desig, he is wearing a necklace that strongly resembles the accessory Chidori wears on her head, and it was stated during a Q&A at Tokyo Game Show 2014 that said necklace is actually from Chidori's favorite apparel brand and was a gift from her to Junpei!
That’s awesome, and I heard P4 Arena, he doesn’t use an Evoker, meaning he’s truly come full circle and accepted himself. I always love your comments diving into the insight of the game! I’ll miss them!
Congratulations on finishing the game. It was a fun playthrough.
You should play persona four next also thank you for playing this game. It’s been a fun ride.
I’m gonna decide over the next couple of months. I really do want to 3, 4, then 5 in order because of my OCD, but if I’m being honest, I’m much more interested in 5. Regardless, they’re both getting played
Thank you for your amazing playthrough.
Thank YOU for the support! I hope I can top this soon 🙏🏼
I love ryoji’s character so much!! He’s my favorite and I’m not gonna write a whole essay here about it. I’m here to say that I enjoyed your play through a lot!
Fun fact: the nyx boss fight in the original game was disgustingly hard like absurdly hard it took me an hour to beat
I feel like they made the Nyx fight too easy here. It really should be a challenge. Some changes I would make:
1). Nyx should have gotten a turn whenever doing an Arcana Shift. It is way too easy to burst damage through each of Nyx's forms before they even get a chance to use their gimmicks.
2). Nyx's final form should have resisted all damage instead of just being neutral.
3). The final form should also be guaranteed to use Grim Transcendence each turn.
I would read an essay. You’re welcome to express how you feel :)
I heard that. Listening to him yap was the hardest part of the fight 🤣
Good suggestions! I wish they can consider patching this into the game
@@SpiderBru xtrestredyrtych I feel like his character is one of the most tragic in the game.. He wanted to understand why people form connections between each other and to define the meaningful connection between us and himself. And he did do that he learned how to feel, connect, and understand others from us. When he realizes his feelings towards us are love, Ryoji focuses on how happy he was to be able to have such an experience. He made connections to other characters like his friendship with Junpei and the others, only to in the end learn that he’s gonna get taken over by an omnipotent god against his will and essentially kill all of them and us the person he loves. In the short time we get to know him we teach him to love humanity just for him to remember that he’s going to be the cause of its fall. We get to see him in genuine pain over the thought that we’re gonna live out our last days in despair. The scene where he just begs s.e.e.s to kill him destroyed me during my first play through and p3r just made it hurt more. I guess the part that really got me when I was thinking of his character is that he lives out his last month as “himself” alone in guilt over something that he has no control over. Ryoji deserved so much better and I’m a major sucker for characters who are doomed by the narrative
and so, the long journey comes to a close… at least until September.
Other media using the Persona 3 cast are
Persona 3 Portable: a visual-novel demake for the PSP that features a completely original story using a female protagonists, with unique social links and secret endings!
Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight: a spin-off game taking place in a dream dance contest arranged by Elizabeth
Persona 4 Arena/Persona 4 Arena Ultimax: Taking place after the events of Persona 4, the P3 cast are all grown up and have their own stories interacting with the cast of Persona 4.
Persona Q/Persona Q2: A semi-crossover with the ATLUS series Etrian Odyssey, the Persona Q games are crossovers between the casts of 3 and 4, with P5’s cast and the Female Protagonist from Persona 3 Portable joining in the sequel.
Naturally, none of these NEED to be played, especially on the channel, but if you’d ever like to see these characters again on your own time, ATLUS definitely made sure you had options!
Screenshotted this for reference! Thank you 🙏🏼
I really appreciate the quality of your vids
I appreciate you appreciating it
Bruh I finished the game a day ago so I could watch this and never picked up makoto dies in aigis’s lap I thought he was just resting and now I’ve been staring at the ceiling for the past 10 mins and now I know y the games main theme is death
It’s a beautiful game man… I didn’t understand at first either but then I realized it once the credits rolled
A lot of the gameplay things you didn’t like are fixed in persona 5 especially royal
Just finished it 2 days ago, the tears have not stopped.
What a great thing to wake up to, the journey is finished, congratulations SpiderBru
WE did it together!
It always surprises me how much effort you put into editing, thanks for the amazing play through, and I’m so glad I found your vids!
edit: also your thoughts on the overall game at the end is completely fair. The game really has a bad pacing in the beginning and the gameplay is not for everyone. Thanks for sticking through it though and glad you were honest and it’s refreshing to hear!
I always try to improve that 1% each video. I hope I’m keeping that promise to myself 🙏🏼
And to be clear, those were constructive criticisms of the game but I understand they couldn’t change too much without completely wiping the foundations. I love to say what I don’t like about games that I love because I think that we all have room to improve and that putting the bad in the same light as the good is important!
One of the best P3R playthroughs I've seen. Thank you, it was a great watch. I think you're a great content creator and I'm sure you'll just keep growing.
Also, you might wanna check the lyrics to the credits song!
I’m glad I rank high for you bro, and we’re gonna keep growing, together
I’ll be sure to check it out!
You are now contractually obligated to play the rest /j (please do)
Don’t worry, it’s happening
One of my favorite endings to any game i cant lie. Hits everytime I watch it.
It’s a damn near perfect ending. They nailed it
Shall watch this when I get off work
This became one of the most important games in my life giving a beautiful message that makes you glad to be alive. Now I promise myself to enjoy my life until the very end. Rest in peace Makoto Yuki, our hero that found the answer to live.🌸🌸🌸✊✊✊
Same here man. As someone who struggled with life’s true meaning this story speaks to me on a personal level
Man, congrats on finishing The Journey! The Persona games are VERY lengthy, so it's more than understandable taking a long break from them, it's actually recommended even, since they can be SO draining.
Persona 3 suffers from the Tartarus grind/slog, because at the end of the day, it's still a JRPG with levels and all that, but the story more than makes up for it and it holds really well for a game from 2006. Reload added some quality of life improvements to make the game better and more interesting, but keeping the original experience more of less intact.
Persona 4 Golden has a great inner story, although the grind is still a bit of a problem, though if there's a remake coming in the future, I'm sure it'll get the "Reload" treatment and become a bit better to bear through.
Persona 5 Royal is a phenomenal game that is brimming with style and personality, definitely worth your time (and A LOT of it, since it's considerably longer than any other Persona game), though it's muchbetter in the sense of grinding for levels and all that jazz, from my experience with it.
Bottom line is; I'm sure you noticed the Persona community is VERY passionate about it, and will understand if you need to take a long break from the games, but will be here to watch your next venture into the series whenever it happens. So keep on keeping on, Bru! :D
Thank you! This journey is super special to me and I’m glad I have these videos to look back at. I definitely wanna be in the mood to give y’all and myself the best content/experience possible, so I think early next year is gonna be when I start P4G, then midway into 2025 I plan on tackling the behemoth Persona 5 Royal. I’m glad you were here to experience the journey with me 💪
Gotta lock in for this episode
lmao I forgot about "Yukari's Strap" your reacting had me rolling
They could’ve been a little more specific 😂 thought Yukari was a freak for a second
@@SpiderBru I thought she meant her piece 🔫
Done with work and video finished. I ain’t a fair weather sub. I didn’t fall in love with this channel just because it had Persona on it. I stayed here for you. I’m staying right here my boi!
Can’t have me crying again after the finale bro! Haha super humbling to hear. I always appreciate every comment you leave man. Really. See you very soon 💪🏼
I'm sure a lot of people are saying the same thing I'm about to: I came for Persona, but I stayed for you. You are an absolutely incredible content creator, and your Persona 3 playthrough has been one of the only ones I have stayed with every single step of the way.
Even better news; I love Elden Ring too! Legit one of my favorite games of all time! Expect to see me around for that too!
That’s humbling to hear man. I understand that everyone has different motives for being on UA-cam and honestly I contemplated my channel falling off after this game ended more times than I’d like to admit. I accepted that a lot of people here are just diehard Persona fans that want to see an interesting and blind take on their favorite video game and that’s completely valid. I’d be lying if I said I’m not more quick to tune into videos that have games I love in them. But to see the comments like this is honestly surprising to me. Maybe I don’t give myself enough credit
Thanks for being here 🫡
We finally reached the end....
Thanks SpiderBru for this awesome journey 🎉
Thank YOU for giving me a chance and sticking around 🫡
43:42 bru a better man than I. Worst part is I did it to see what the consequences were…curiosity a b*tch
I wouldn’t lie if I said I was curious. But I had to be loyal to waifu robot
@@SpiderBru 🫡
Sure I burned my dread…
BUT TEARS ARENT FLAMMABLE GOD I LOVE THIS GAME
I’m still crying to this day
Just finished the game 4 days ago and still recovering
Same 😭
Thank you.
Thank YOU for giving me a chance in this huge world of content creators
If your biggest complaints about the game are pacing and Tarturus, you'd certainly like Persona 5 Royal more in that sense. More unique dungeons, and things don't take as long to pick up storywise. Tarturus was a vast improvement from the original game, the small variety they gave it in Reload was much more bearable than the original P3s. It's a bit of a shame they couldn't change the fundamental aspect of Tarturus, which was the repetitiveness, but I appreciate how much they improved it. Appreciated the playthrough, brother!
I feel the same! It’s tricky because they wanted Reload to be a similar experience to the OG. I appreciate the team for how they did with this remake
Bro I’m on my 30 min lunch break I can’t watch this whole thing 😢. Why must I suffer like this?
Makoto was able to find the legendary Robotiris, only beaten by the magnificent Robussy
Chat is this real
This game is straight Agidyne 🔥🔥🔥
Congrats on beating one of my favorite games ever! The devs still hasn't fixed the issue even in Reload where the end credits gets blurry
Also appreciate the editing and the special thumbnails on each Persona 3 video
Some devs never learn…
I appreciate your kind words more than it all. I love providing the best quality content I can and I’m so happy you see that 💪🏼
I said it before, I'll say it again. As of Reload, I've experienced the Persona 3 ending four times, FES, Portable, the movies and now Reload. And it never loses its impact. I know you gave this game a 9 and with good reason but that ending for me practically negates any issues I had. I know you aren't starting 4 and 5 yet but when you do, just some advice, don't expect Persona 3. Every Persona game is amazing in its own unique way. No one game is like the other. But most of all, I hope you enjoy them as much as you enjoyed this one
I heard that this one has the heaviest story and I don’t expect the others to have as much of an impact story wise, which is why I said this is the perfect one for me to start with. Had I started with 5, the gameplay elements would’ve made me throw up probably lol but hopefully 5’s story holds up.
I gave this game a 9 overall but mainly because as a creator, streamlining gameplay and making the game feel exciting definitely helps. I’m sure if I played it on my own (which I will in NG+, soon) I would put the issues to the side as well. I just think it’s important to point out flaws in the games we love so that we can see improvement in the future :)
The "Massiah" referred to by the Cult is Takaya known as Revolver Jesus our Enemy
"All-Out Yap Attack." Yes, but have you considered that the Arcana is the means of which all is revealed?
Memes aside, Persona 3 is truly peak but I completely understand not jumping into the next Persona game of choice as they are long commitments. And I say Persona 5 Royal is probably the best choice for the next game to play as the gameplay is similar to P3R.
Persona 4...Persona 4 is a fun experience but there are definitely things that didn't age as well beyond the gameplay and graphics, and I admit I like it more than 5.
I heard P4 was the “cozy” one out of the 3 and I like that but I can’t get behind playing a game on PC that looks like it’s made for 3DS. Again, no hate I’m sure it’s awesome but that’s just me. I like my videos to look good
Fantastic journey bro! P3 really is my favourite atlus game storywise. For gameplay it has to be dds or maybe smt 5. The other personas are good too but they are very easy
So I’ve heard. I plan on playing Persona 5 and I’m interested in the new Metaphor game
On Merciless mode I only used my MC with no party members because I maxed out all my Social Links and my Personas are maxed level with every strongest Physical and Elemental attacks and strongest Weapons and armor. Hell, I even defeated the Ultimate Adversary that took me two FREAKING hours to learn the mechanics of the fight.
Sounds hardcore. I have no desire to do a challenge run like that, but I gotta respect the dedication. Once I finish P4G and P5R I’ll go back and do something like that, maybe 😂
YESSIR!
Congrats on beating the game dude! Quite the journey, wasn't it?
One I’ll always remember… what a ride
Cinema is here
If you ever decide you want to play another Persona Game, I'd recommend playing P5 next. P4G is apparently going to get a remake similar to how P3 got P3R soon-ish but that might be a long way off. You can play P4G on PC but the game is old and while the story and characters are amazing, it suffers from its age. So I do recommend playing P5 next.
Yo thanks for the advice! P5 is most likely gonna be the next title. I hope P4 gets remade sometime soon 🙏🏼
@@SpiderBru same, I love P4. These games have a way of making you really think.
are you going to play the dlc episode aigs aka the answer coming out in setmber
@@NazoFriends of course

Believed or not this is the Best version of Tartarus. As someone who has played 3 out the 4 versions of persona 3, reaload has the Best Tartarus by far. There was not fortune teller at escape, the Golden hands were horrible in FES, they only give You materials for weapons. Portable was the version that incorpórate the save people request. And there was not monad's Doors, insted Monad was an opcional dungeon. A Tartarus Kiwami would be a good description (Kiwami means extreme).
I agree! I’m sure it’s the best version and I’m not trying to put it down, because they had to include it and they tried to improve upon it from what I hear but I just think they missed the mark just slightly
LESS GOOO
Yeah I think in other versions of this game each phase of Nyx has like 6000 hp. I've seen clips of a phase almost being over only for Akihiko to get charmed and heal Nyx.
Anyway, what're u planning on playing next? I got into playing the mainline Yakuza series lately
Edit: I didnt watch the entirety of the video before commenting. But still. Yakuza's pretty neat. Most games aren't dubbed in english tho
You’re the second one to recommend that series and it’s definitely on the list. Fan base seems mad chill as well, which game do I start with?
I'm kinda new but the general consensus is to start with yakuza 0. U can start with yakuza: like a dragon too but it'll enrich ur experience to play the others first.
TLDR: start with 0 and work thru numerically. I just started 3 and I haven't even fought anyone yet
In the original version of P3 FES, you have no control over your party members and the AI is not the most intuitive. The first 12 phases of Nyx have 1500 health each, but the final phase has 6000. The main problem with the final phase is party members getting charmed and healing Nyx to full health. Also, the original version had a move called Moonless Gown that made Nyx invulnerable for a few turns, but if you attack when it's up it's an instant KO. Trying to organise your party when you have no direct control over them in that fight was a nightmare 😅. It took me over 4 hours to get through it and Nyx got healed 3 times by my party. I literally had no items left by the end of it, and almost rage quit a few times 🤣
The end of a journey 🫡
Bru,did you listen to the og voices?If so which one is your favorite?
I’ve listened to some! I like Yukari’s OG voice, I think it fits her character very well. We’re not gonna talk about Fuuka lol
@@SpiderBru yeaaah.Fuuka is actually a robot in the og😂To the point where she and Ken have 3 voice actors the og,they have new voices in the spin-offs in persona 4(I will not spoil it for you)and the reload voice actors
My favorite og voice is aigis because in the og she is a robot and once the game progresses she is more human,whereas in reload you meet her and already sounds human.
Hey man i just noticed that i wasnt subbed even though i watched ur whole playthrough so i went and did that. The whole heartfelt conscripted speech u gave at the end of the vid touched me tbh nd i think ill stick around for the elden ring playthrough too. ❤🤟
P.s. i respect ur decision to play p5 first but i personally think that the dip in graphics give p4s cutscenes alot of charm and the gameplay is nowhere nearly as good as p5s so if u decide to play to p4 after, it may be a slog
Bro I’ve been there with other creators it’s perfectly fine! 😂 and that’s definitely something to consider. I know that P5 is the flagship child of the series and is much longer in length too, and now that I’m familiar with the formula I’m sure I can knock out P4 in about 12 episodes? What do you think?
@@SpiderBru idk how long ur recordings are but my save file in p4g is about 51 hours long and thats with me not listening to all the voice lines and just reading quickly lol
Gameplay and pacing: 5/10
Story and characters: 15/10
(15 + 5)/2 = 10
Go buy Persona 3 Reload, people!
how did I miscalculate this...
Man, i wish you can play or beat persona 4 golden, persona 5 royal and persona 3 reload dlc: aigis episode: the answer
P.S P3R DLC Is a new story starting aigis and not minato (main protagonist in P3)
@@SatryoBayu-t8m I’m playing the DLC now, videos coming soon! And I’ll be playing P4G sometime early next year
@@SpiderBru Glad to hear that😅
« Tartarus was repetitive.. »
Don’t go play the original game, it’s suffering compared to this.
But congrats for going to the very end, you discovered how insane this game was !
Hahaha oh no 😂
Thank you for being here! There’s lots of creators and I’m glad you chose me
I highly recommend you play persona 5 Royale obviously not immediately, since it's a long term commitment, P5 does have the best pacing out of all persona games imo the dungeon crawling isn't as grindy, and has a much better system for the dungeons that I won't go into because of spoilers, but they feel more emersive than running up a bunch of stairs lol
Fun Fact: if you ever don't feel like grinding you can always lower the difficulty cheese the Grim reaper and just hit max level when you kill him even at early game
If you are also down for it, I would highly recommend checking out the Yakuza series they have a lot of installments, but are much shorter than persona and also have completely different gameplay that won't rot your brain
Thanks for the suggestions man! I’ve heard a lot about Yakuza and the fan base is mad chill from what I’ve seen. Definitely on my list.
Persona 5 is the next one I’m playing just because I want to experience something more modernized graphically, and Persona 4 just doesn’t make the cut rn. I’m sure it’s a great title and I would LOVE to go from 3 to 4 to 5 to satisfy my OCD but 5 is happening a few months from now. Trust that
@@SpiderBru I feel ya on that I myself haven't touched p4 because I'm waiting on a remaster of it like p3
If you want to play something different I recommend you to play Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection
Adding that to the list!
Fair warning: p4g will have much worse, frustrating gameplay
I heard. But I wanna do P4G before P5R, because I want to experience the most streamline gameplay last
I mean P3 reload is good but not the best persona game I have played it 5 times already and saw the story a few times so I can say it is good and the theurgy attacks are goated but people over glaze this game I get that P3 hasn't had an a game for the last few years but even as a persona fan myself they need to chill. that aside I definitely liked your play through it hit all the "yeses* in my opinion and was really fun.
Thank you bro. I’m glad despite you not being the biggest fan you chose to stick through with your boy! 💪🏼
@@SpiderBru of course. I feel as though I need to clarify I am not saying I hate the game but it feels like the changes didn't add the depth of what makes a persona game fun for me at least. It's only an opinion and I know you liked the game which I can respect because it is still at the end of the day still in my top 20.
