That moment when you realize that the reason Minato/Makoto starts from the right going left is so that we can see his eye/face...
LMAO true
Yu’s hair is also mirrored when he walks
He is showing the so called "hidden power" of his left eye.
Shut up gringo
Son sakuya shiomi y kotone shiomi
I always thought it was because, he had to do what was “Right” So Yu was the only thing we had…”Left!”

What about Q2 with Persona 5's themes of rebellion thrown into the mix?
this game gave me Angel Beats vibes
@@mattwo7 The theses of PQ2 are about individualism and the need to rebel against social conformity. They are an extension of P5's theme, while the rest are just... there.
Don't get me wrong, I like PQ2's story, but what OP said is the exact reason why I prefer PQ1 over it. It's a true crossover between both games' characters, themes, and messages. Somehow, they were able to synthesize two different stuff into something that's both captivating modern JRPG standards and reminiscing the classics (notably Maki Sonomura from P1). It's arguably one of the best JRPG stories in this generation despite its chibi aesthetics.

Why is it that the Persona game with the happiest opening has the saddest shit in it? ATLUS, stop fucking with my feels.
Isn't persona 2 the saddest or even persona 3?
@@BadAssJohns this game is just....Hard to digest if you played 4 and 3 and if you understand both time of the story...Very hard... It's just pain at final...
@@arafatmarius331 already finished the story, this thing is definitely pretty sad
It’s as if somebody thought of how depressing and impactful Akinari's social link was and decided to create a story based on that but with way more depression that. Even the grim reaper was touched even though his job requires apathy and not risking attachments.
@@BadAssJohns Persona 2's story is definitely one of the greatest and saddest stories ever told
*song gets stuck in head*
Shoji Meguro, you've done it again...
Best part is, I can understand the Engrish
Axzolon
I would say it's between Engrish and proper English.
The one I’ve got stuck in my head is Road Less Taken
Meguro didn't compose this LMAO.
Persona Q songs didn't composed by Shoji Meguro
First minute: This is adorable!
1:00-1:05: Oh. Right. This is a Persona game.
Persona games are Dora the explorer compared to mainline
Being Kush fuck you
λ Voreala 喰 SMT is definitely fucked up, but Persona is very personal and psychological where SMT has a lot of external and supernatural terror
John G I mean yeah, i guess. i just wish persona can evolve a little more in 5 past you know having a gay charecters psyche be covered in muscles and hold two male gender symboyls as weapons. like seriously? thats like the complete oppposite of subtle, its anti-subtle.
λ Voreala 喰 What are you talking about?
Kanji gets bitten by Koromaru but he doesnt care?, he must be pretty head-strong!
Mike The Fox get out!
Stay
I think Koromaru only did that because of Iggy's rivalry with Polnareff who is also blonde (he's usually depicted as platinum blonde but that's still technically blonde).
mattwo7 So you think it’s a Jojo reference.
@@Kaisona2017 No other good way to explain it.
persona4: uses cards
persona3: S U I C I D E
PERSONA
I just realized how similar Aegis and Human Teddie look in design. The blonde hair, the blue eyes, the red accessory....
And Aigis's body and Teddie's clothes being white
@MaroonJay wasn't the mascot of P3 Koromaru?
@@Joshi869 aigis was kind of the poster girl... robot of persona 3. she and teddie are probably together here because they most greatly represent the themes of each game. koromaru is like the haru of persona 3. fluffy and cute but not really doing much.
@@autocorrect5456 "fluffy and cute but not really doing much" XD
Not to mention they gravitate towards each other because both of them exist without a past.
P3 & 4Characters together, it's simply beautiful..
I know right? It's the best thing to ever happen in the history of the world.... ;-;
Shame we couldn't get one with all of the protagonist from each game but oh well, might as well be greatful for what we got right? ;w;
Gokai Silver the protagonist of P1 was kinda meh. The ones from P2 were fine, but i prefer P3 and P4 cast over them :D
Kori Y HOW DARE YOU IMPLY THAT MAYA AMANO,THE BEST PERSONA CHARACTER TO DATE,WAS A MEDIOCRE PROTAGONIST? HERESY!
I SHALL RIP THE FLESH FROM YOUR BONES AS PUNISHMENT! NONE SHALL OFFEND THE GODDESS AND WALK AWAY UNSCATHED!
Wouldn't that be the most contrasting thing ever? Isnt P3 supposed to be really depressing and P4 really uplifting?
This game is my biggest wet dream
Hokaru11792 its my only wet dream

*P5 cast kicks down door* NEVER SEE IT COOOMMINGGGGG
literally the only reason why persona q2 was created
*femc join* sup I'm femc but you can call me CANON CHAN
I felt as if there was too much P5. I get it's the new P4, but goddamn, P3 cast didn't appear until the third dungeon.

~☆LYRICS☆~
Ain't it great, how we met eachother
On this wild and crazy carousel of life
Ain't it cool, how it changed the paths of our lives
Set us off, on new adventures
This carousel
Takes us round' and round'
This labyrinth of life
You can't tell up from down
Havin' so much fun,
We forget to check where this crossroad's takin' us
But, hey, here we come!
This carousel
Spins us round' so much
Sometimes you don't know should,
You stay on or get off
It's only just begun
Welcome to this wild maze of life
neccomata thanks!
I actually would have gone for this at the end :
"Welcome to this wild..."
"Maze of life!"
Akesan I would have gone for “Welcome to this wild...
Maze. Of. Life!!!”
Oh I thought it’s let’s cut ourselves 🤣
This carousel
0:33 just noticed hang man xD this opening is so cherry I didn't even noticed lol
Never heard of Persona before, saw this game was on sale on the DS store for download, and always remembered this game was a big deal when it was released, figured I would give it a shot.
This game was my first Persona game, and it HOOKED me. God damn in the first few hours of playing this game I fell in love.
I went back in time to play older persona games, and have loved them all.
Just in time too, now you get to suffer with us these next 4 months waiting for Persona 5!
Arsene, Ravage Them!!! I got into the series recently with Q, and later played P4 Arena Ultimax on my Xbox 360 and Persona 3 Portable (via emulator)
Persona q is my first game lol. I got it a couple of days ago.
This was the game to introduce me to the persona franchise. I didn't get to play it until last year, but I saw this game when I was like 10 or 11 and I started watching videos of the series and same as you, i got hooked
@@otepezano And now we're suffering waiting for persona 6 to come out
Oh, this looks like a quaint little gam- * 1:02 * oh what the fuck
I would really love it if they could make a 12 episode anime of Persona Q's events~
but which side would it be from? or would there be two seasons/different anime, one p4 and one p3?
+otaku draw. good point. might need 24 eps...
No. If they would be 12,6 episodes for P3 and 6 for P4.
leo tsukinaga screaming It's as simple as the anime not doing "sides" and just treat both casts equally.
Terra Branwen 4 P3, 4 P4, 4combined
I like this opening more that Q2. It blends both series together perfectly.
Yeah, but I have to like q2's music better
Yes but overall Q2 did better in most soundtracks lol especially the battle theme for Ren and Kotone are superb!
TBF Q2 focuses much more on the P5 gang and P3FEMC due to Q equally focusing already on the P3 and P4 gang. Q is the P3 and P4 gang's game so they have less focus on PQ2 to give the spotlight to the newbies.
Q2 was structured more like another Phantom Thieves adventure featuring the other characters as guest stars.
Im talking about the Opening Specifically guys not comparing soundtracks just the paring between each game is great and they better balance both games 😅 I wish they had in Q2 more. I'd rather they share the game than have another Persona 5 game..

Dissected Grape Studios and her hair falling out
And blood coming out of her eyes...
A crossover bigger than Infinity War.
Q2 is even Bigger than that, If one might even believe it.
Blue.
the color of sadness, the tears of a person.
Yellow.
The color of happiness, the color of the sand, where you'd find at a beach, where everyone is having fun.
Polar opposites, put together.
Yellow? Blue? together? what could it mean?
Numbness?
Faking Happiness?
Forgetting sadness, but you don't know it's still there? you're happy, but that sadness is still inside you?
Analyze it with the context of the story

If she's dead already and faking the happiness of life, it could symbolize both games ideas, P3 about remembering death and P4 about finding the truth, she has to go through the dungeons to find the truth again that she is already dead and upon us making it to the end of the clocktower both protagonists complete their respective themes, P4 found the truth of this world and P3 faces against death both physically and emotionally with them tackling the reality of their newly met friend being dead and having to come to terms with that
Yellow can also mean fear, and it represents the the truth obviously
THIS POST IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO COMPLETED THE GAME!
SPOILERS ARE THERE!
You know, that part after camera zooms to Rei. As camera zooms to Rei, we see her inside story. She's dead (Rabbit being teared apart), she had an operation and was shaved (Hair on hands) and she tried to gouge her eyes out... or that her eyes aren't her real eyes. (Bloody Tears).
I looove when openings look like a bunch of awesome-composed scenes and images. And when you finish the game, you see a foreshadowing in these scenes.
SPOILER!!.... Maybe?
Actually, I think she suffers from cancer. And thus the hair on her hands part.
@@fyachafe5825 they didn't specify in the game, but that is most likely the disease Rei had.
I wish Q2 also went to that place of death, but I guess they thought that would be the predictable thing to do.
@@techiedreyn3621 Ok..... thanks!
Next time say which game ur spoiling
@@TheRawyan Its kinda obvious what he's spoiling genius
0:58 that 60fps door opening tho
I haven't realized.
Of you pause just right when Yu and Minato are about to use their persona, you can get an epic shadow siltuet of them with yellows and blues eyes with a red background.
I manage to to do it at the 1:20 mark. So give it a shot. I promise it a amazing scean.
I got it, it's easier to do with 0.25 speed and at 1:19 instead.
I've never played Persona before in my life...
But judging by this opening movie, I should probably buy it XD
+Kathryn Williams Oh, and by the way, this is not a dating game.
Yes you should
it now 5 years later have you
@@iam2982 It kinda is though.
Truthfully, This is the only persona game I played and I loved it, that being said I played Etrian Odyssey games on the reg so I feel a bit biased, Loved the lore bits though
Crazy Noisy Bizarre Persona
Literally the plot for P4.
lol the only thing thats the same is a murder plot
@@Baken384 The brighter themes as a contrast to the previous part too.
@@Baken384 Josuke/Yosuke, Yukiko/Yukako
@@davidlarkin1040 damn bro did I jUsT notice that
There's so much meaning in this. The lyrics, the visuals, the upbeat/uptempo rhythm but melancholy undertrack.
Where I'm making it up or it's actually there...i can listen to this over and over... and I have...
This opening song is actually very sad i you know the story of the game.
@@tastethecock5203 Could you please explain it, or do you have any links that explain it?
I can't deal with the feels of Yu and Minato ( I think that's his Canon came) shaking hands
Loffter it’s like Josuke & Jotaro first meeting
1:02 damn shit got real btw wouldn't it be awesome if they made an anime of this like persona 4 :D
Your in luck
"I have the best idea ever boys"
"What is it?"
"Let's make the cast from P4 and P3 met!"
"Yeah! that's great! even if the game is average at worst, people wll still buy it!"
"And let's release it on the Nitendo! Where no Persona game were release!"
"YEAH!!!...wait, what?"
Well persona is a spin off of the smt games and there are quite a few of them on the ds so it makes quite a bit of sense
@@mythicvalkire1478
But it doesnt make sense, since no one who only plays on the 3DS will know even a single character of the Persona 3 or 4 (or 5) cast... and this game is the definition of fanservice, so why release it where no mainline games of Persona exist?
@@Schwuga well its also got quite a few similarities with the etrian odyssey games which are also on the ds, and i dont think that knowing the characters is a problem as i know quite a few people who have never played a persona game and know quite a few of the characters, and personally i think that the type of game persona q is works really well on the ds also the problem with your arguement is that people MIGHT not know who the cast is which is not a problem since the characters personalities are shown of and explained for the few people who don't know who they are. And assuming that not a single person who plays the 3DS will not know the persona games is pretty dull really.
I know its a late response but the reason for this is because both Persona Q games are not just Persona games, but in terms of gameplay are almost the same as the Etrian Oddesy games, a series with all its games on the 3DS and thats mechanics only work on the 3ds.
@@colemcegg3894 pretty sure i already mentioned that
0:46 AHHH FUUKA'S SO CUTE
Why Rise and Fuuka are so Cute Together?

We need a sequel where SEES and the Investigation Team meet the Phantom Thieves
therock238360 wish granted
Arena is more than enough. I can see p3 character meet in inaba. But i can't imagine p4 except yu,rise and naoto at shibuya
+therock238360
Persona Q 2 confirmed. Only right now, the Phantom Thieves have been confirmed if the official site is anything to go by.
And the Phantom Thieves treat Naoto like a floor made of lava, assuming Akechi’s not in the group.
You just got it
The 1st few moments are absolutely adorable and then it gets dark and creepy and back to adorable and holy crapp this the best game ever
1:02 shit went from 0 to 100 real fucking quick
Mitsuru Kirijo and Naoto Shirogane are my two favorites. 👍💯
1:02
Wow that got dark fast.
Josh Legacy
That is the whole game's plot in nutshell
This opening went from being so cute and friendly to blood and syringes
This is the game that got me into Persona in the first place.
+Jarock316 for me is persona 3 portable xD
+Jarock316 I started with Persona 3 which led me to this game and now I want to play Persona 4
You should PQ is best when you know ALL of the characters, not just half.
my friend showed me Hiimdaisy's Persona 4 comic dub, which is what led me to get Persona 4 and 3.
I love the part when teddie and aigis dance it's reminds me on how aigis is learning to be human
This opening gives me goosebumps, every time.
Prior to me getting the game last year, I've only see gameplay of the end of the second labyrinth (prior to area boss), and the third area boss. So when I started the game after downloading it, this really caught me off guard. And I love it!
Who come after Persona Q2 opening ?
Me
Same. Sorry if it's me, but I prefer this one because it makes me feel a bit lighter.
I did, its good but just doesn't hit like this.
Me
Me, this one is a lot better :)
After this, they're going home to Shinjiro's death and Nanako's kidnapping. Joyful stuff.
So, depending on the stats of the MCs, my party will be:
Yu/Minato
Yukiko
Aigis
Chie
Koromaru
Using the MC as the major spell caster, Yukiko as a heal/magic damage dealer, Aigis for buffs, Chie for "HOLY SHIT" damage, and Koromaru for hype-dog shenanigans.
I'd have to go with Yu. H-have you seen Izanagi-No-Okami's resistantes? It's beautiful!
Hype-Dog shenanigans?
just seeing teddie with aigis dancing already makes my day
The best intro for a persona game i have ever seen. I can't wait fall when this comes out localized.
That's cool, and I'mma let you finish, but Persona 2: Innocent Sin (the PSP remake) has the BEST intro to a Persona game, *OF ALL TIME.* It has everything; Lotus Juice spittin his rhymes, Asami Izawa's sweet melodic tones, a dude ripping his own face off, a sexy lady in chains, EVERYTHING!
MrSandwichBiznich
He didn't rip his face off, he just changed Personas.
Ecroose Word it however you like, it still happened... But can we talk more about the sexy lady in chains? Persona-ly (get it?) I find that part the most interesting.
well, she was sexy until she was on fire, then she just devolved into hot
MrSandwichBiznich Just watched it and I found it to be the most boring of the Persona intros. I liked 3's more.
PQ opening has a nice mixture and blend where everyone is together PQ2 opening is basically chibi p5 with p3,p3p,and p4 add ons to me.
All the marketing for PQ2 just feels like another Persona 5 adventure, with the rest as guest stars.
Teddie! RUN! Aigis is designed to kill shadows
That is a very good joke lol😂
when fuuka and rise together
goes wholesome to dark extremely quick
The colors are so well combined. I love this.
0:56 I ship it.
Marcus
jk tho
N O
O
hells to the absolute nah
Hella CUTE!!
This the type of shit that make a grown man cry
I'm still playing this game (Third area. Please don't spoil what happens). When I first started it, the intro really room me by surprise. PERSONAly, I feel like it's a good sign to show of what's to come. Especially for my favorite game
(So excited for Q2!)
Did you beat the game? If so did you enjoy it?
@KWCHope Hell yeah! I had a blast!
I liked that you chose who to play as in this game and the other option had full voice acted lines. I wish they did that same thing in q2
it hurts me to admit buts:
Maze of life > road less taken
I'm getting this game soon and I'm ready for the Junpei Yosuke interactions
OMIGOD TEDDIE X AIGIS CONFIRMED!
They look very much alike
Your ship will sink! i'll make sure of it! Aegis x Minato ftw >.
Kori Y who's minato?
lucas persson P3's MC. Minato is his most famous unofficial name (that's how he's called in the manga).
Kori Y i always called him makoto since that's what he's called in the movie.
Oh boy I love these silhouettes of people with red bands
Still remember being so excited seeing this play on my 3ds screen. So epic.
It's been years, but I forgot how much of a banger this was
Now just inagine how lit it would be if Earing boy and Motorcycle chan would be here, it would be the ultimate cross over.
Q Koromaru is too cute
I’m obsessed with this opening tbh
Now i'm curious to see how PQ2 intro will be with Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5 characters
Yup, I also can't wait, it's going to be awesome!!!
So, did ya like it
Yu: hold out a card like a normal person
Minato: fucking shoots himself
Man. I would love to have this game on Switch or PS5.
gosh this opening is so good
0:54 Holy Shit, thats a ship.
1:02 Forgot is was a SMT game
Another reason to get a 3DS... I NEED IT!!!!!!!!!
YOU STILL DONT HAVE ONE?
Perfect excuse to get the Persona Q 3DS :-).
I love Persona Q a lot and this opening movie just got me hyped to go get my New 3DS and play it again! XD
Love the bit of music that plays between 0:11 and 0:20
Tvdiet agreed
How come my first time I ever listening to this I was nostalgic? This song is supposed to be happy but it always makes me kinda sad. Like sad and happy at the same time
All I can hear is "this kind of sale"
Even though I know it's carousel
Q is not a number.... Where have I heard this before?.....
Hmmmmm！！！
We’re not even 1 minute into the intro and I can already see a hung body in the background
i love this song, and very beautiful voice, i like it
0:51 R.I.P Kanji
this op is so adorable
Rei... had a hard life. She needs some time to rest.
"I refuse to have an emotional response to this intro."
*Kanji catches Koro-chan*
"Damn it...." *sniffle*
1:10 best part
This has probably became one of my top favorite songs in the past 2 or 3 days.
I'm glad I am not the only one who comes back to this masterpiece
Tips for anyone having trouble, use Naoto and Minato with Mahama/ Mamudo, it really makes random encounters easier. Also, if you use Ken, you are not my friend.
Guess it was never meant to be~
Noooooo I can change.
Yep, Naoto is broken in this game because of how easy it is to hit enemies with dark and light skills. Still not using her too much because of personal preference xD
Well I use Ken and he Rocks pretty hard.
I am in my first playthrough (normal difficultly) right now and in the 4th Labyrinth. I never played P3 ore 4. Only P5
My team is : P3 guy, Aigis, Koramaru, Zen and Ray, Ken.
With his high luck staat Ken is a monster when it comes to instant kills and status effects.
A true godsend against FOEs and Elizabeth. I know she is not really trying but I was shocked how easy the first 2 Elizabeth battles where.
And when I tried to fight that fast runner FOE in the 4th Labyrinth I was also shocked how easy he went down.
I don't know why, but I really wanted this game back in 2019.
TEDDIE AND AIGIS? I SHIP THIS I SHIP THAT
This game released on my birthday (though not the day I was born). That's really awesome, especially since this is my second favorite Persona opening in the series. ^w^
Such a sad story for Rei :'(
Look at every frame of animation of Kanji and dawg. LOOK AT IT
0:39 *P A N A S* 🤝
I loved this game,i could say a lot of things but i'll just mention one that just cross my mind,i feel really bad for Fuuka because she become best friends with Rise and they both understand each other,and she seem so sad when at the end they separate,poor Fuuka
I know it's kinda late, but I just ordered this game. good choice?
Fuck YEA BEST CHOICE OF YOUR LIFE
Grazi
amazing game
Imo its underrated af. It's aesthetic af
Ah,i see your a man of culture.
a great intro, as is the idea behind the game, even more now that i found a way to play it!
What i would't give for a PC remake of both PersonaQ games.
ANOTHER SONG WELL DONE!
Rip nintendo 3ds you were a amazing era
Yes, but we can play on citra
my tip started bleeding this is so heat
yoo wth😭
