    Tatsuya's Scenario shows that, at least 10 years ago, Tadashi still had his chops when it came to writing for this series. It is some kind of cosmic tragedy that we can never get both games at the same time over here...

      This entire series has felt like one cosmic joke after another. However, with P5's unmitigated success, we can only hope Atlus chooses to mine all the old properties.

    This a great way to end the classic era of Persona. I hope Atlus will do something for Persona 1's 25th anniversary coming up this Sep. Kind of a shame that P1-2ep don't get as much love as modern era does. Though since P5 brought back negotiations, party members weilding guns and melee weapons, etc from the previous games it would be great to see newer fans try out the classic era of this gnarly series.

    • @daehan8227

I've been coming back to this vid regularly just because I love watching the end segment of the video. Though the same can be said for Persona 2 EP's ending itself, as I revisit videos of the ending all the time. It's really hard to let go of all the amazing characters and the bittersweet moments.

    I wish you would have gone more into detail about the other moral questions asked by the many bosses in the Kadath Mandala like Inazami and Angra Mainyu because they are very interesting and do handle some of the themes proposed by the Persona 2 games like romance and the nature of evil.

      @@ChiefMedicPururu Whenever Atlus Re-releases a game there’s always a caveat with it. Take the remasters for Personas 1 and 2 IS. Persona 1 PSP fixed a lot of things don’t get me wrong but the new soundtrack ran against the original tone and theme of the PS1 version and there was no way to switch between the two. Persona 2 IS PSP butchered the combat system of the original,changing the auto based battle system which made it easy to choose a party’s member’s actions as fast and simple as possible to more a traditional battle system but with more and slower menus which made battles feel tedious and like a chore. They also greatly butchered the difficulty reducing the enemy’s stats so they deal very piss poor damage to you. Persona 2 EP PSP is the ideal version of a re-release, not changing anything but being true to its roots and adhering to the original team’s vision and wishes. But also adding the necessary QOL features for a modern audience. It’s not as if Snickety doesn’t wish these games to be re-released but given their track record I’m not so sure anymore. And this isn’t even exclusive to just Persona…
