I spent years avoiding this comment section to avoid spoilers, but now that I have completed Persona 3 Reload, I can now finally come here to cry with all of you!
"You don't need to save the world to find meaning in life. Sometimes all you need is something simple, like someone to take care of." - Aigis (March 5th 2010)
Gustavo cowjerky it beat me with the fucking difficulty. Still it's a heart filled game that causes you to care for all the characters, except fucking magic teacher, and it definitely ripped my heart to prices.
"Lay down your head and close your eyes Right off to bed to sleep tonight, I will be watchin’ Thinking of you, the times we had All of the good and all the bad Never forgotten Seal it with a kiss Promise you this I’ll love you till the end of time, forever" This part just killed me. Good job.
[Verse 1] When the wind rings high and the light hits your eyes Time for one last ride off to dreamland Don't you worry, I'll be here to remember you, dear Your laugh, your smile, all your happiness, and your tears And it's hard some days (But I'll be okay) 'Cause even when it's tough, you give me just enough So I can keep on goin' When I close my eyes (And I dream at night) I feel you in my arms [Pre-Chorus 1] Safe and sound Here with me Everything we found Makes me sing [Chorus 1] Night after night you paved the way Put up the fight to save the day Now you’re a hero You brought the light that made today Perfect and bright, so dream away Now you’re an angel Sleeping in peace Baby, you’ll be Surrounded by my love through all eternity Lay down your head and close your eyes Right off to bed to sleep tonight, I will be watchin’ Thinking of you, the times we had All of the good and all the bad Never forgotten Seal it with a kiss Promise you this I’ll love you till the end of time, forever [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] When I'm out downtown, I can still hear the sound Of a voice that sounds so familiar Lift my head and turn around, you're nowhere to be found Just big blue sky and my teardrops on the ground But I’ll be okay (‘Cause I know someday) That even though you're gone, I know it won't be long Til I can see you again As the seasons change (In our special place) I'll wait right here for you [Pre-Chorus 2] Won’t forget Any part Every moment set In my heart [Chorus 2] Who would have known that you would be Someone I’d hold so dear to me? You were a treasure Part of a life I spent with you Forever bright, forever true Always remember Road may be long I’ll be strong I promise you that I’ll hold onto that feeling You stuck with me until the end We were a team, you were my friend You held me tight and Never let go, never let go, never let go It’s like you’re here right by my side You’re part of my soul I’m never alone Cause baby, I will never leave you
I lost my cousin over the summer last year. He committed suicide. I remember driving home from the funeral and this song came on my playlist. Not the original, but this cover. I stared crying so hard i had to pull over. Now I cannot hear this song without thinking of my cousin and tearing up. You really did an outstanding job of covering this song, so thank you for a cover that reminds me of the greatest person I've ever met. Rest in Peace, Steven Kurns 💜
What Happanded That He Comited Suicide? Depression? Cause If So, I Feel Ya, One Of MY Friends Almost Did The Same Thing, Thankfully I Stoped Him From Doing So, But That's Besides The Point, I'm Sorry For What Happanded To Ur Cousin
I think I was 12 or 13 when I first picked up this game. I was already a fan of Persona 4, but my disk cracked so I had no way of playing it again. I decided to give P3 a shot. I was at a pretty bad place back then, being constantly bullied and feeling isolated by my peers, and generally dealing with mental health issues. I remember coming home from school on Fridays, and playing P3. I'd play until it was late at night. It was my refuge, as silly as it may sound - finding refuge in a video game. But, at a time when I had no one and no warm human interaction, it gave me what I was missing. I think, that this game saved me. It thought me that things get better, that I can get better and that all the bad times won't last forever. The moment Minato died crushed me, but at the same time I felt this great happiness, because I understood the weight of his actions. The second the credits rolled, I grabbed my old Sony Ericsson and recorded this song. Yea, the sound quality was crappy, but I still replayed it over and over, listening to it until I fell asleep that night. So, in case anyone is reading and going through something similar - it gets better, and you get better. It takes time, and yeah, it can be hell at times. But, it gets better. Stay strong, my dudes.
@@jojomicheldu59 Things do get better - even if it seems like you're "doomed" to just deal with it for the rest of your life. I also hope that this reply kinda sorta (hopefully) helped with making your day a bit better
When I was eleven, my sister introduced me to Persona 5. I tried it out a little and adored it, but I wasn’t able to keep playing because parents exist. When I was twelve, I wanted to find out all the hype about the other games, so I watched Shenpai’s play through of p4G. Honestly it changed me. Then I watched her p3FES one. Taught me a lot of stuff. If not for my sister having an interest in p5, I’d never had even looked into the Persona series.
Thanks for sharing your story! Videogames are the best shelter for they are art (and maybe the most complex and fulfilling form of it). The best thing is you can always go back to them, those stories and characters, interact with them, and it will never betray you (unless it's written in the story, but you know what I mean!)
I was 12 when i finished the game and i cried. In understood it all and it wss so sad. It reminded me of all the people i lost in my life but in a happy way
My friend chose this song for our other friend's funeral song. She was always a happy, loving, and caring person. My friend chose this song for the funeral because of how poignant the lyrics are. We will always remember her in our hearts, and we will always listen to this song for her... Thank you, Sapphire, for this wonderful cover...
Hell yeah.... We'll forever keep Artemis in our hearts.... Through the Religion of Jah-Kobe, she'll forever live on.... This song was chosen to honor her memory and the convey how much we truly love and will miss her. Thanks Sapphire for doing a cover on the best song I could ever choose to honor her memory. For Artemis!
She’ll forever be in our hearts, not only was she a great friend and mother, but she was also a great person, Artemis is truly an Angel to us and she’s watching over us right now, For Artemis!!!!🥰❤️
The reason Makoto's death was so painful is because you never expected him to mean anything to you. Up until the fight with Nyx he was just a self-insert. A body in which you use to put yourself in the story. Not being able to understand what truly happened and why when he did is a harsh awakening to the fact that Makoto, even under your control, was his own person. That last few days in Gekkoukan, when he started to disappear you began to see less through his eyes and through the eyes of those around him. How much Makoto meant to those around him. Those he formed "unbreakable bonds with". Understanding what Makoto meant to Kaz, Kenji, Yuko or whoever you chose to spend time with, and especially SEES made you feel this entirely different person from yourself. A kind and caring person that was there for the people he loved. And that's why it was so hard to see him go. I hope Makoto is free from the seal by now and resting. Rest well, our fallen friend we never knew we had.
You really nailed it. I didn't expect that I cared about him at all. And then suddenly I was crying at the ending, and I was shocked that I was. Realized that I had grown to love him. P3 was so artfully done.
Me, i cried, because i thought to myself, ''THIS is not FAIR! He give his life to save all his friends, and now that everyone love him so much, he must die...and leave his friends behind...and although I was crying, i understood that he was now gonna be eternal in his friend's heart... It's a terrible pain to have to go when at last he could have been happy with all his friends...broke my heart so badly... but this is how this game is so wonderfully done. Never to be forgotten...
My mother passed away abruptly a month ago even though I'm only in my twenties. Persona 3 and 4 music has always stuck with me, but this cover of Memories of You really sticks out in my mind whenever my mind drifts off and I start thinking of.... well, memories of her. I'll never forget what she did for me and my siblings, she was an incredibly sweet soul, I just wish that I got to have more time with her than I wound up getting. Thank you for this beautiful cover, Sapphire.
This is fucking beautiful. I'm on the edge of tears now that I understand the meaning of the words. And Sapphire's voice is like an angel. On a side note, while this is clearly Aigis's song, I feel it applies to all of SEES, so yeah. Aigis's song, featuring the musical talents of all the SEES members. Especially Koromaru.
***** It doesn't have to be the protagonist, it could be the person they lost. Junpei and Chidori, Akihiko and Shinjiro, Ken and his mother, Koromaru and his owner, Mitsuru and her father, etch.
It's March 5th. A day of mourning. But, in a way, it is its own celebration. A recognition of the worth of life. No matter who you are, your presence matters. Even after you have long been gone, you will be remembered. Even in the smallest of ways. Perhaps a twitch of the lips as someone remembers a fond memory of you. Perhaps a small habit you taught someone, without even knowing it. Perhaps a wish, from those who were inspired by your presence. Your impact is felt. There is nothing to fear in death, as you will still live on despite it. It is merely a necessity of life- one that doesn't always mean the end. So, in this time you have, do not wish for death or wish for its banishment. You matter. Live your life with that in mind and to the fullest.
I just beat Persona 3 for like the fifth time,but this time I decided I'd play Sapphire's cover when the credits rolled. Needless to say,I cried a lot.
I lost my sister yesterday and I had been listening to Heaven from p4. Then this song came on autoplay and it hit me so hard. Thank you, Sapphire, for your beautiful covers. Your voice is amazing and wonderful. 💜
This was all I'd listen to as a suicidal 18 year old, relating hard to Makaoto. I'm still here and now I've experienced real loss. But somehow I survived and now, 6 years later I'm rediscovering who I am.
I'm glad you're still here. I know we've never met, but... you're not alone. And I'm glad you're here with those of us who understand relating to Aigis's favorite human.
i could never click the close your eyes option as it felt so wrong to i dont know just every time i click those dots it just makes me tear up and wish that honestly he would be able to see his friends again. :(
@@jakerider3189 I'm fairly late but i still felt like sharing my thoughts on the final choice we were given in this beautifull game; When choosing between Closing Minato/Makoto's eyes, or clicking the 3 dots, i felt as if if i clicked on the dots i would be forcefully keeping him from a peaceful death. Death, which is inevitable, and the story being tailored upon that fact made me feel like giving Minato/Makoto a proper goodbye by closing his eyes and letting him fade away in peace.
Such a great story and so many people are going to experience it for the first time in Reload, I can't wait to cry again and spend time with our buds at the dorm.
My grandfather suddenly passed away in June of 2022 and I hadn't cried till I listened to this and thought of him I know it's almost 8 years later, but thank you for making this song.
***** As much as I want in there as well, this song doesn't fit with the story. Unless you're going through Elizabeth's story, which I'm a little bit disappointed that Atlus didn't continue in P4AU, but hopefully there'll a Persona game with Elizabeth as the MC.
My father passed away last year we all wrote him personal notes and tucked them in his jacket pocket when he was in the box. but at the end of mine "Night after night you paved the way, Put up the fight to save the day Now you’re a hero You brought the light that made today Perfect and bright, so dream away Now you’re an angel Sleeping in peace Baby, you’ll be Surrounded by my love through all eternity" I sure miss my hero
@@dylanm2939 well, the original IS Japanese, so, unless you can speak Japanese, I don't think you could understand it... (edit: dam he deleted his comment)
Vlad Dobra Tartarus never bothered me tbh, neither did Mass Destruction playing on loop during every battle. To me, the few of the game flaws don't matter.
+Vlad Dobra Even if arguably tedious, I think the repetitiveness of Tartarus really added to the game, rather than subtracting from it. Unlike the other Persona games, the entire premise was the ascension of one key place. The point was ultimately to see the evolution of this same place throughout the game and to gradually climb towards the end of the game. While I think the other Persona games did well to mix things up, it was pretty essential for the plot of Persona 3, and it really gave the player a sense of familiarity that enhanced the plot -- whether that was intentional or not.
+itselguapo > Your eyes feel heavy... *>>* "Close your eyes" The absolute best thing about the entire ending sequence is how you get to take one last walk around the city, seeing all of those sights you've become used to one last time, and then just being hit from every angle by good news from the people whose Social Links you've maxed. If you took the time to check every event location, you'd get to see just how much of a good impact you had on the people around you. It really lets it sink in just how many things you managed to achieve in one year alone. Like, you think back to the decision point at December 31st and realize you could've given this all up, you could've taken the easy route and let the yourself(and the world) die painlessly ignorant of your fate... But you didn't, and now it just seems like the same world who wished so much for death, now loved life more than anything. It's really amazing honestly, no other game I've ever played managed to emulate such feeling from inside myself, Persona 3 is really a masterpiece.
+Zetsubou Z. and then they came out with the conituation of Persona 3 which was F.E.S which made you realize the cost of *spoilers* and the party ends up happy
Probably the most upbeat sad and tragic song ever. I buried my best friend after carrying his coffin. I decided just stay there looking at the hole, the coffin and the burial workers. It started raining and I got up and smiled. We take them for granted and sometimes we can't express how much we love them. But sometimes, I guess they cry back. Rest in peace my best bro, and may flights of angels carry thee to thy rest. We'll meet again.
@@xelestial_sky Hey. Pets will always stay with you. I still occasionally feel my cat crawling to sleep with me. They may be gone, but our memories will never let them go, and they won't let go of us. Just smile and go towards the new tomorrow for them! Ehh.. that was pretty cringy, but it's true :,)
Chair Kun Well, she has a sister now and seems happy to be a member or the shadow Operative. She probably never forget the MC, but she was able to move on.
Y-... Yep, you hear that? Pretty sure that's the sound of my heart shattering. Holy god, the original of this song was just the most beautiful thing, especially in the moment of watching P3's ending, and you've somehow cranked it UP from there. That's... I fucking need a moment, hang on. No, I'm not crying, shut up.
Watched the final Persona 3 movie and the ending ripped my heart into millions of pieces once again. Thank you for one of the most beautiful songs about death I have ever heard.
I was honestly expecting a horrible English cover. I almost didn't bother clicking on this. I'm so glad that I didn't. As somebody who spent a good year listening to this song DAILY, I'm not disappointed.
That first chorus hits hard Night after night you paved the way, Put up the fight to save the day Now you’re a hero You brought the light that made today Perfect and bright, so dream away Now you’re an angel Sleeping in peace Baby, you’ll be Surrounded by my love through all eternity Especially since thanks to Minato's sacrifice he saved the world. He did pave the way for heroes like Yu and Joker to find themselves and save the world as well.
I finished this game at a time in my life when I was possibly the most stressed. I had a girlfriend who wanted to pretty much kill herself every day (she’s ok now) and my problems with being bi polar. Eventually it got to the point where she was seconds away from doing it. Balancing this and school didn’t help me and it made me feel exhausted every day and it really got to my head. I tried my best to stay with her as I was also losing interest in her as our conversations just ended up her being depressed and putting all the weight on me. It’s not her fault as her single mom was terrible to her and her sister didn’t care for her either. I was her only outlet for her problems and I felt terrible if I were to leave her. Then I played persona 3 which I was already a fan of 4 and 5. After beating it I gained confidence that I can’t let myself suffer like this and broke up with her. Of course I didn’t leave her in the dust and helped her into a more mentally stable state then she eventually got help. The day she got help I was so glad for her. If you read all of this thank you and thank you persona 3 for teaching me that it’s ok to just live your life and that staying in place will do you no good.
Typing this as I realize that unlike the credits songs in 4 and 5, this isn’t a message from and for all the characters, it’s a message specifically for _you_ .You taught all of these characters, especially Aigis, who is the only one with you when you finally pass, what life is all about. You taught them and showed them how to live, how to love, how to stay true, how to never give up, and how to be brave. And as you pass on, they will forever hold those treasures you gave them. This song is for you, the player, the one who gave the ultimate sacrifice to give them a future. It’s your time to rest. We will never forget you. Never fails to make me tear up. Lovely cover of a beautiful song.
Yeah... the whole song is Aigis's message to Minato. I just self-destroyed the first time hearing it and see the meaning of the lyrics. Aigis best girl fr
I mean you can see it in the original lyrics perfectly "The voice of the wind and light pours onto the napping you" "You may rest in my hands with me tenderly watching over you" "Now you may simply fold your wings and rest in peace. Wrapped in eternal tranquility, love through all eternity" (referring to her promise that she will be there when you die)
Persona 3 was simultaneously the most depressing and heart wrenching story AND the most optimistic and unabashedly hopeful story. This is a beautiful cover, thank you so much for the gift of this.
Something that just dawned on me. A meaning behind the lack of control of your party members. Did I feel more like my party members were their own people rather than extension of myself when I couldn't give direct commands, therefore making my success in the adventure feel more like a group effort, feeling more and more in sync with my allies as I progressed? Literally showing in gameplay that the meaning of life is to truly learn about other people and making an effort to understand THEM rather than assuming they'll understand me? That was in NO WAY the intention of the gameplay design, but it's the effect I feel it had on me either way. Probably just making excuses for unpolished design, but I don't care, it works.
Just the way you said that makes me think you'd enjoy the story of The World Ends With You. But, yeah, that's the way I've always thought of the lack of party controls.
@@SlyJMan I tried posting a link and it wouldn't let me. It's an interview from the P3 official design works artbook. Just look it up and you should find it. 'persona 3 party member control interview'.
@@maceyV I found it. You were right. I’m impressed, but still prefer the option to control my party members personally, even if they have to put a notice that it isn’t the intended way to play, like Darkest Dungeon. It’s cool regardless.
Beat P3 just yesterday. Ever since I'd been feeling that weird feeling in my chest like the emotions built up from it were about to spill over and I'd start crying. This did me in.
i....i just need a moment, i just finished persona 3: the journey a few days ago and heard the ending theme and i was thinking to myself "i wish this was in english" and i found this precious gem a day later
It's March 5th again, guys Edit 1 year later: It's that time of year again. I said a similar message on the original song, but remember that it's ok to not know what your life's purpose or meaning is, but always keep searching for it. (And thank you, Sapphire, for making such a beautiful cover of one of the most meaningful songs in my life)
My best friend of 10 years died yesterday. Thank you very much for this song. I've been a big fan ever since the hiimdaisy comic dub. I wish everyone who sees this the best tidings, and that no one has the horror of finding your best friend dead
I will shamelessly admit I can't finish listening to this without crying. Feels good. Not many things can do that, either. I get choked up easily, but full-on crying is rare. Only Undertale's pacifist end and before your eyes can reliably do that. One's about having formed friendships and how much you matter to them, the other one's about death. So obviously the game about the friends you matter to and how your death affects them would just shatter me.
My English cover of Kimi no Kioku (Memories of You) from Persona 3 has been added to The Velvet Lounge (my Persona EP)! Enjoy! ▫STREAM/BUY: lnk.to/kl9G1yVT
"But I’ll be okay (‘Cause I know someday) That even though you're gone I know it won't be long Til I can see you again" "Who would have known that you would be Someone I’d hold so dear to me You were a treasure" Damn, that sinks right through.
My friend (who loves the Persona series) and I were drinking when he played the original song on UA-cam. Autoplay was turned on, so when the song finished, this cover played next. We couldn't believe how well-written the lyrics were and how it captured the meaning of the original song, even how it fits the ending of Persona 3. I read the lyrics and cried a little. It was that good. We would like to thank you for making this cover with all our heart.
That moment when your glad you figured out a reference but it's a sad reference: 😃🤔😨😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭(He and shiji freaking dies!)😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I don't think I have a soul or emotions, I've never cried while listening to this or the original. wait, wha? oh dang, I'm now classified as a demon. cool.
"I’ll love you till the end of time, forever" fuck this just hit me so much harder because if its in aigis' POV, she'll literally never die. she really CAN remember makoto forever and ever. fuck im crying again
I just wanted to thank you. I recently lost a loved one and your song helped me put in words things I've been feeling and I just couln't express. I love your channel and consider me a fan of your work from now on. Keep up the good work
A friend of mine passed away 5 years ago after losing his fight with cancer. Persona was a series we both had a common interest during the time we shared together. This song as well as Persona 3 in general strike a deep personal chord with me for that reason. I'll forever miss his presence and mourn his passing but I'll treasure the time we shared for the rest of my life. Gonna make sure the time I'm given is spent as meaningfully as possible and that I have plenty to catch him up on when we meet again.
True story: I oddly and actually shed tears listening to this, despite never having played a persona game ever. Lyrics are relatable on many levels, and the emotion displayed in this cover with her passion / through her voice literally moved me. New fan for life, love ya Sapphire 💜🫶💜🫶💜 SURROUNDED BY MY LOVE FOR ALL ETERNITY 🥰❤️❤️❤️
At first, I was concerned that you didn't preserve the original lyrics enough to keep the true meaning of the song intact. I was very wrong. Great job.
Tur-Kei Hang on. Memories of You... Memories of Yu. That should have been the title of P4's end song. It'd actually fit quite nicely, considering Yu left Inaba. Maybe to Outaba.
Derpagonair no it fits to the persona 3 because the protagonist *SPOIL* died and its all about the memories of him with his friends that's why it was memories of you(protagonist)
Kiara Arusagawa It's a joke. Of course I know the P3 protagonist has died. It was a sad moment, atleast... and don't make your comment 51 lines. Seriously, I think you just want to sound smart ._.
so the way i see it, the song is from the viewpoint of ,cannonically aigis, but technically whoever you dated. and it's them singing about the protagonist. the first chorus seems to be about how he gave his life to save the world so he is a "hero" and at the same time an "angel" so beautiful, excellent job, your voice fit the song perfectly :)
just beat Reload for the first time ( and let me just say, wow...what an experience) and had to know if an English version existed and of COURSE it’s Sapphire omfg this is perfect
I had a friend who looked like a mix between Yukari and Aigis she loved this song unfortunately she died of breast cancer. I listen to this in memory of her. Rip Luna.
This brings so many feels for me. This was one of my best friend's favorite games. I've been playing them all and the the music is so good. Thank you so much for doing these covers.
honestly this played on my recommended list while I was doing some other things and I legit thought this was a legit official version from Atlus until I finally looked to add it to my playlist and saw that it was a cover. Amazing job!
When I'm out downtown, I can still hear the sound Of a voice that sounds so familiar Lift my head and turn around, you're nowhere to be found Just big blue sky and my teardrops on the ground... :(
Happy March 5th to all those who experienced the masterpiece that is Persona 3. Whether it was the original, Fes, Portable or Reload, we are all connected by experiencing that final sunset together. Rest well, for the Answer will arrive soon.

This is how you do an English cover, forming lyrics to work with the flow instead of just direct translating Japanese. Well done.
When I first watched this I thought it was real cuz I missed it cuz I didn't see the cover part
mark ofmastery I know this comment is old but don’t say jap instead of “JP” or “Japanese” jap is a slur in some countries
Alexier look it up
It isn't a direct translation. The direct translation doesn't fit into the song as Japanese words are often shorter or longer than English ones.

[Verse 1]
When the wind rings high and the light hits your eyes
Time for one last ride off to dreamland
Don't you worry, I'll be here to remember you, dear
Your laugh, your smile, all your happiness, and your tears
And it's hard some days (But I'll be okay)
'Cause even when it's tough, you give me just enough
So I can keep on goin'
When I close my eyes (And I dream at night)
I feel you in my arms
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Safe and sound
Here with me
Everything we found
Makes me sing
[Chorus 1]
Night after night you paved the way
Put up the fight to save the day
Now you’re a hero
You brought the light that made today
Perfect and bright, so dream away
Now you’re an angel
Sleeping in peace
Baby, you’ll be
Surrounded by my love through all eternity
Lay down your head and close your eyes
Right off to bed to sleep tonight, I will be watchin’

Of a voice that sounds so familiar
Lift my head and turn around, you're nowhere to be found
Just big blue sky and my teardrops on the ground
But I’ll be okay (‘Cause I know someday)
That even though you're gone, I know it won't be long
Til I can see you again
As the seasons change (In our special place)
I'll wait right here for you

Every moment set
In my heart

Forever bright, forever true
Always remember
Road may be long
I’ll be strong
I promise you that I’ll hold onto that feeling
You stuck with me until the end
We were a team, you were my friend
You held me tight and
Never let go, never let go, never let go
It’s like you’re here right by my side
You’re part of my soul
I’m never alone
Cause baby, I will never leave you

I lost my cousin over the summer last year. He committed suicide. I remember driving home from the funeral and this song came on my playlist. Not the original, but this cover. I stared crying so hard i had to pull over.
Now I cannot hear this song without thinking of my cousin and tearing up. You really did an outstanding job of covering this song, so thank you for a cover that reminds me of the greatest person I've ever met.
Rest in Peace, Steven Kurns 💜
WOW...amazing story! Thank you for sharing.
When video game music comforts our mortality
RIP pal
Jesus loves you I hope you have a good day
What Happanded That He Comited Suicide? Depression? Cause If So, I Feel Ya, One Of MY Friends Almost Did The Same Thing, Thankfully I Stoped Him From Doing So, But That's Besides The Point, I'm Sorry For What Happanded To Ur Cousin
I think I was 12 or 13 when I first picked up this game. I was already a fan of Persona 4, but my disk cracked so I had no way of playing it again. I decided to give P3 a shot. I was at a pretty bad place back then, being constantly bullied and feeling isolated by my peers, and generally dealing with mental health issues. I remember coming home from school on Fridays, and playing P3. I'd play until it was late at night. It was my refuge, as silly as it may sound - finding refuge in a video game. But, at a time when I had no one and no warm human interaction, it gave me what I was missing. I think, that this game saved me. It thought me that things get better, that I can get better and that all the bad times won't last forever.
The moment Minato died crushed me, but at the same time I felt this great happiness, because I understood the weight of his actions. The second the credits rolled, I grabbed my old Sony Ericsson and recorded this song. Yea, the sound quality was crappy, but I still replayed it over and over, listening to it until I fell asleep that night.
So, in case anyone is reading and going through something similar - it gets better, and you get better. It takes time, and yeah, it can be hell at times. But, it gets better. Stay strong, my dudes.
It can't rain all the time
@@jojomicheldu59 Things do get better - even if it seems like you're "doomed" to just deal with it for the rest of your life. I also hope that this reply kinda sorta (hopefully) helped with making your day a bit better
When I was eleven, my sister introduced me to Persona 5. I tried it out a little and adored it, but I wasn’t able to keep playing because parents exist. When I was twelve, I wanted to find out all the hype about the other games, so I watched Shenpai’s play through of p4G. Honestly it changed me. Then I watched her p3FES one. Taught me a lot of stuff. If not for my sister having an interest in p5, I’d never had even looked into the Persona series.
Thanks for sharing your story! Videogames are the best shelter for they are art (and maybe the most complex and fulfilling form of it). The best thing is you can always go back to them, those stories and characters, interact with them, and it will never betray you (unless it's written in the story, but you know what I mean!)
I was 12 when i finished the game and i cried. In understood it all and it wss so sad. It reminded me of all the people i lost in my life but in a happy way
My friend chose this song for our other friend's funeral song. She was always a happy, loving, and caring person. My friend chose this song for the funeral because of how poignant the lyrics are. We will always remember her in our hearts, and we will always listen to this song for her... Thank you, Sapphire, for this wonderful cover...
Hell yeah.... We'll forever keep Artemis in our hearts.... Through the Religion of Jah-Kobe, she'll forever live on.... This song was chosen to honor her memory and the convey how much we truly love and will miss her. Thanks Sapphire for doing a cover on the best song I could ever choose to honor her memory. For Artemis!

The reason Makoto's death was so painful is because you never expected him to mean anything to you. Up until the fight with Nyx he was just a self-insert. A body in which you use to put yourself in the story.
Not being able to understand what truly happened and why when he did is a harsh awakening to the fact that Makoto, even under your control, was his own person. That last few days in Gekkoukan, when he started to disappear you began to see less through his eyes and through the eyes of those around him. How much Makoto meant to those around him. Those he formed "unbreakable bonds with".
Understanding what Makoto meant to Kaz, Kenji, Yuko or whoever you chose to spend time with, and especially SEES made you feel this entirely different person from yourself. A kind and caring person that was there for the people he loved. And that's why it was so hard to see him go.
I hope Makoto is free from the seal by now and resting. Rest well, our fallen friend we never knew we had.
Makoto's answers are pretty mean sometimes because he is a character in his own
@@chairkun9139 they're only mean if you choose to be mean
@@chairkun9139 still revisiting this video after three years huh
You really nailed it. I didn't expect that I cared about him at all. And then suddenly I was crying at the ending, and I was shocked that I was. Realized that I had grown to love him. P3 was so artfully done.
Me, i cried, because i thought to myself, ''THIS is not FAIR! He give his life to save all his friends, and now that everyone love him so much, he must die...and leave his friends behind...and although I was crying, i understood that he was now gonna be eternal in his friend's heart... It's a terrible pain to have to go when at last he could have been happy with all his friends...broke my heart so badly... but this is how this game is so wonderfully done. Never to be forgotten...
Happy March 5th guys...
Hope you guys remembered.
+Ruby Rose Dammit man, don't make me cry again....
Don't remind me, I really wished he stayed alive. Goddammit!

About what?
Its huge spoilers for the ending of the game
My mother passed away abruptly a month ago even though I'm only in my twenties. Persona 3 and 4 music has always stuck with me, but this cover of Memories of You really sticks out in my mind whenever my mind drifts off and I start thinking of.... well, memories of her. I'll never forget what she did for me and my siblings, she was an incredibly sweet soul, I just wish that I got to have more time with her than I wound up getting. Thank you for this beautiful cover, Sapphire.
This is fucking beautiful. I'm on the edge of tears now that I understand the meaning of the words. And Sapphire's voice is like an angel.
On a side note, while this is clearly Aigis's song, I feel it applies to all of SEES, so yeah. Aigis's song, featuring the musical talents of all the SEES members. Especially Koromaru.
*bark*
JTHMRulez1 "I don't feel like a walk today, I need to practice my saxophone" -koromaru
I really don't see any of the males characters saying any of this
***** It doesn't have to be the protagonist, it could be the person they lost. Junpei and Chidori, Akihiko and Shinjiro, Ken and his mother, Koromaru and his owner, Mitsuru and her father, etch.
***** true also is it just me or does Sapphire's voice sounds very close to the originals voice
It's March 5th.
A day of mourning.
But, in a way, it is its own celebration.
A recognition of the worth of life.
No matter who you are, your presence matters.
Even after you have long been gone, you will be remembered. Even in the smallest of ways. Perhaps a twitch of the lips as someone remembers a fond memory of you. Perhaps a small habit you taught someone, without even knowing it. Perhaps a wish, from those who were inspired by your presence. Your impact is felt.
There is nothing to fear in death, as you will still live on despite it. It is merely a necessity of life- one that doesn't always mean the end.
So, in this time you have, do not wish for death or wish for its banishment.
You matter. Live your life with that in mind and to the fullest.
Goddamnit, you made me tear up. Thanks for this, I really needed it.
@@Aikerin You're welcome. I'm glad I could help- Even though I'm just someone on the internet, I'm rooting for you for the future. Good luck.

I lost my sister yesterday and I had been listening to Heaven from p4. Then this song came on autoplay and it hit me so hard. Thank you, Sapphire, for your beautiful covers. Your voice is amazing and wonderful. 💜
I'm so sorry to hear that
I hope you feel better soon ❤️
Hope you’re doing as well as can be. A lot of my own family went out the same way.
This was all I'd listen to as a suicidal 18 year old, relating hard to Makaoto. I'm still here and now I've experienced real loss. But somehow I survived and now, 6 years later I'm rediscovering who I am.
I'm glad you're still here. I know we've never met, but... you're not alone. And I'm glad you're here with those of us who understand relating to Aigis's favorite human.
That kinda crap can get into our heads when we’re young. Believing in something can help keep us purposeful.
I'm a bit late, but I started realizing how suicidal I am. I hope I can get through it just like you did

@@jakerider3189 I'm fairly late but i still felt like sharing my thoughts on the final choice we were given in this beautifull game; When choosing between Closing Minato/Makoto's eyes, or clicking the 3 dots, i felt as if if i clicked on the dots i would be forcefully keeping him from a peaceful death. Death, which is inevitable, and the story being tailored upon that fact made me feel like giving
Minato/Makoto a proper goodbye by closing his eyes and letting him fade away in peace.
I just think both choices are the same. But the second one is just you closing your/his eyes later.

***** As much as I want in there as well, this song doesn't fit with the story. Unless you're going through Elizabeth's story, which I'm a little bit disappointed that Atlus didn't continue in P4AU, but hopefully there'll a Persona game with Elizabeth as the MC.
not really that disappointing i would say. how about trying to listen it through Aigis POV?? it totally made sense =)

@@ptato3010 What did it say?
Persona 3 is easily one of the best games i've ever played in my life and it's my favorite game ever.
but what about tartarus?
i mean i really liked it and actually cried at the ending but the game is fundamentally flawed
Vlad Dobra Tartarus never bothered me tbh, neither did Mass Destruction playing on loop during every battle. To me, the few of the game flaws don't matter.
Esteban Rosado then why u have gold's picture as ur prof pic?
its my favorite game and its the game that got me into gaming ;')
+Vlad Dobra
Even if arguably tedious, I think the repetitiveness of Tartarus really added to the game, rather than subtracting from it. Unlike the other Persona games, the entire premise was the ascension of one key place. The point was ultimately to see the evolution of this same place throughout the game and to gradually climb towards the end of the game. While I think the other Persona games did well to mix things up, it was pretty essential for the plot of Persona 3, and it really gave the player a sense of familiarity that enhanced the plot -- whether that was intentional or not.
I'm crying. After all this years. It's finally back.

+itselguapo "Don't worry... your friends will be here by your side soon..."
+itselguapo > Your eyes feel heavy...
*>>* "Close your eyes"
The absolute best thing about the entire ending sequence is how you get to take one last walk around the city, seeing all of those sights you've become used to one last time, and then just being hit from every angle by good news from the people whose Social Links you've maxed. If you took the time to check every event location, you'd get to see just how much of a good impact you had on the people around you. It really lets it sink in just how many things you managed to achieve in one year alone.
Like, you think back to the decision point at December 31st and realize you could've given this all up, you could've taken the easy route and let the yourself(and the world) die painlessly ignorant of your fate... But you didn't, and now it just seems like the same world who wished so much for death, now loved life more than anything.
It's really amazing honestly, no other game I've ever played managed to emulate such feeling from inside myself, Persona 3 is really a masterpiece.
+Zetsubou Z. and then they came out with the conituation of Persona 3 which was F.E.S which made you realize the cost of *spoilers* and the party ends up happy

Probably the most upbeat sad and tragic song ever.
I buried my best friend after carrying his coffin. I decided just stay there looking at the hole, the coffin and the burial workers. It started raining and I got up and smiled.
We take them for granted and sometimes we can't express how much we love them. But sometimes, I guess they cry back.
Rest in peace my best bro, and may flights of angels carry thee to thy rest. We'll meet again.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
OK, NOW!

FNGBros did you see that shinji?
I finished this game at a time in my life when I was possibly the most stressed. I had a girlfriend who wanted to pretty much kill herself every day (she’s ok now) and my problems with being bi polar. Eventually it got to the point where she was seconds away from doing it. Balancing this and school didn’t help me and it made me feel exhausted every day and it really got to my head. I tried my best to stay with her as I was also losing interest in her as our conversations just ended up her being depressed and putting all the weight on me. It’s not her fault as her single mom was terrible to her and her sister didn’t care for her either. I was her only outlet for her problems and I felt terrible if I were to leave her. Then I played persona 3 which I was already a fan of 4 and 5. After beating it I gained confidence that I can’t let myself suffer like this and broke up with her. Of course I didn’t leave her in the dust and helped her into a more mentally stable state then she eventually got help. The day she got help I was so glad for her. If you read all of this thank you and thank you persona 3 for teaching me that it’s ok to just live your life and that staying in place will do you no good.
I also got help with my bi polar problem
Good on you man, I'm glad both of you are still here

Typing this as I realize that unlike the credits songs in 4 and 5, this isn’t a message from and for all the characters, it’s a message specifically for _you_ .You taught all of these characters, especially Aigis, who is the only one with you when you finally pass, what life is all about. You taught them and showed them how to live, how to love, how to stay true, how to never give up, and how to be brave. And as you pass on, they will forever hold those treasures you gave them. This song is for you, the player, the one who gave the ultimate sacrifice to give them a future. It’s your time to rest. We will never forget you.
Never fails to make me tear up. Lovely cover of a beautiful song.
@PhantomileFinn You could say… he found the answer to life’s greatest question. :)
When I read your lyrics, I automatically think this was being sung in Aigis' POV and
I start choking in my own tears
It was aigis' POV in the original japanese lyrics too, haha.
Yeah... the whole song is Aigis's message to Minato. I just self-destroyed the first time hearing it and see the meaning of the lyrics. Aigis best girl fr
I mean you can see it in the original lyrics perfectly
"The voice of the wind and light pours onto the napping you"
"You may rest in my hands with me tenderly watching over you"
"Now you may simply fold your wings and rest in peace. Wrapped in eternal tranquility, love through all eternity" (referring to her promise that she will be there when you die)
This needs more recognition, it hits equally as or even harder then the original japanese Version 😭
Persona 3 was simultaneously the most depressing and heart wrenching story AND the most optimistic and unabashedly hopeful story.
This is a beautiful cover, thank you so much for the gift of this.
This is the ideal cover of this song. I really hope Altus hires you someday… you’ve worked so hard and made content unlike any other.
Something that just dawned on me. A meaning behind the lack of control of your party members. Did I feel more like my party members were their own people rather than extension of myself when I couldn't give direct commands, therefore making my success in the adventure feel more like a group effort, feeling more and more in sync with my allies as I progressed? Literally showing in gameplay that the meaning of life is to truly learn about other people and making an effort to understand THEM rather than assuming they'll understand me?
That was in NO WAY the intention of the gameplay design, but it's the effect I feel it had on me either way. Probably just making excuses for unpolished design, but I don't care, it works.
That was the intent. The creators have confirmed it. And what a beautiful decision it was.
@@maceyV source?
Just the way you said that makes me think you'd enjoy the story of The World Ends With You.

Edit 1 year later: It's that time of year again. I said a similar message on the original song, but remember that it's ok to not know what your life's purpose or meaning is, but always keep searching for it.
(And thank you, Sapphire, for making such a beautiful cover of one of the most meaningful songs in my life)
My best friend of 10 years died yesterday. Thank you very much for this song. I've been a big fan ever since the hiimdaisy comic dub. I wish everyone who sees this the best tidings, and that no one has the horror of finding your best friend dead
anytime I hear this song I almost start crying. You captured what this song was in the game with the english lyrics and your voice. Top tier stuff
I will shamelessly admit I can't finish listening to this without crying. Feels good. Not many things can do that, either. I get choked up easily, but full-on crying is rare. Only Undertale's pacifist end and before your eyes can reliably do that. One's about having formed friendships and how much you matter to them, the other one's about death. So obviously the game about the friends you matter to and how your death affects them would just shatter me.

Til I can see you again"
"Who would have known that you would be

You were a treasure"
Damn, that sinks right through.
My friend (who loves the Persona series) and I were drinking when he played the original song on UA-cam.
Autoplay was turned on, so when the song finished, this cover played next.
We couldn't believe how well-written the lyrics were and how it captured the meaning of the original song, even how it fits the ending of Persona 3.
I read the lyrics and cried a little. It was that good.
We would like to thank you for making this cover with all our heart.

A friend of mine passed away 5 years ago after losing his fight with cancer. Persona was a series we both had a common interest during the time we shared together. This song as well as Persona 3 in general strike a deep personal chord with me for that reason. I'll forever miss his presence and mourn his passing but I'll treasure the time we shared for the rest of my life. Gonna make sure the time I'm given is spent as meaningfully as possible and that I have plenty to catch him up on when we meet again.
I'm glad so many people still remember the promise. Happy March 5th guys.
Umm...
What was the promise?
@@IHatoHandels I will always remind you. The promise to meet again after The Fall. On graduation day
Have a nice 5th, guys. It's been, what, 9 or 10 years now?
Wonder how's Aegis been doing these past years
For some Japanese folk this is the 13th time that they cried for anime jesus
Something like that. Might replay it again when I have time.
Can I just say that you have a perfect taste in profile pictures and that Kip Silverpoint is my waifu?
Starting another play through for the feels and memories
True story: I oddly and actually shed tears listening to this, despite never having played a persona game ever. Lyrics are relatable on many levels, and the emotion displayed in this cover with her passion / through her voice literally moved me. New fan for life, love ya Sapphire 💜🫶💜🫶💜 SURROUNDED BY MY LOVE FOR ALL ETERNITY 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Listening to this hyped up for Reload. Thanks again, Sapphire. This cover means world to me.
Legit I think I'm going to cry this is amazing.
At first, I was concerned that you didn't preserve the original lyrics enough to keep the true meaning of the song intact.
I was very wrong. Great job.
I'm so glad I finally discovered this. Your covers are always top tier but this is phenomenal!
Why does this song have to be called "Memories of You"? The title alone gets my feels going T-T
Light Player Are you saying it's sad, or that it's the reason why? Because I know why it's called Memories of You.
Tur-Kei Hang on. Memories of You... Memories of Yu.
That should have been the title of P4's end song. It'd actually fit quite nicely, considering Yu left Inaba. Maybe to Outaba.
Derpagonair no it fits to the persona 3 because the protagonist
*SPOIL*
died and its all about the memories of him with his friends that's why it was memories of you(protagonist)
Kiara Arusagawa
It's a joke. Of course I know the P3 protagonist has died. It was a sad moment, atleast... and don't make your comment 51 lines. Seriously, I think you just want to sound smart ._.
Derpagonair She was just trying to avoid spoilers.
I commented on your cover of Real Folk Blues that I wished you'd do the full version of that song. I don't need that anymore. This is incredible.
This is a superb translated cover.
so the way i see it, the song is from the viewpoint of ,cannonically aigis, but technically whoever you dated. and it's them singing about the protagonist.
the first chorus seems to be about how he gave his life to save the world so he is a "hero" and at the same time an "angel"
so beautiful, excellent job, your voice fit the song perfectly :)
So If I dated everyone (Which you have to do to get the best persona) I should have a whole choir singing?
gamerjjl Discussion of the year!
STOP SPOILING THINGS

Mayve you shouldn't be watching the credits song
I already beat it but some people might not have
just beat Reload for the first time ( and let me just say, wow...what an experience) and had to know if an English version existed and of COURSE it’s Sapphire omfg
this is perfect
I had a friend who looked like a mix between Yukari and Aigis she loved this song unfortunately she died of breast cancer. I listen to this in memory of her.

This brings so many feels for me. This was one of my best friend's favorite games. I've been playing them all and the the music is so good. Thank you so much for doing these covers.
This song always gets me choked up...
Can't wait till Persona 5 comes out anyone else excited
+GamerBoy870 ME TO YAY (but it cant be like persona 3 ;_; cant forget when i beat)
TheDarklessGaming I know what you mean
GamerBoy870 thank you
+GamerBoy870 I would be if I had a system that could play it.
+Jeffrey Rich you dont have a ps3 or a ps4? kek
honestly this played on my recommended list while I was doing some other things and I legit thought this was a legit official version from Atlus until I finally looked to add it to my playlist and saw that it was a cover. Amazing job!
I finally played P3 so i can finally enjoy this cover to the fullest. Thanks for this absolute gem
Still listening to this every few days 2 years later. What a perfect cover of such a perfect song
The song originally made me cry
And now knowing the lyrics through this cover, I'm crying again
I'm late, but this is beautiful. I cried when I heard it for the first time. Thank you for this amazing english cover, Sapphire.♡♡♡
This is really really good even the voice doesn’t sound very different, who is this genius ? Even accent is there 😱
When I'm out downtown, I can still hear the sound
Of a voice that sounds so familiar
Lift my head and turn around, you're nowhere to be found
Just big blue sky and my teardrops on the ground...
:(
This cover is amazing. The emotion of the song alongside the meaning of the lyrics really strikes a nerve. Thank you so much
Happy March 5th to all those who experienced the masterpiece that is Persona 3. Whether it was the original, Fes, Portable or Reload, we are all connected by experiencing that final sunset together. Rest well, for the Answer will arrive soon.
