I like how in this, the protagonist is actually scared. The anime missed this point but the game got it perfect. He was full of doubt and put his faith into having a persona.
Yeah, the hesitation is what makes this scene- what makes Persona 3, really. Unconsciously, using an evoker is the exact same as putting a gun to your head. To see even somebody as apathetic (at first) as Makoto hesitate before firing tells us this much.
Muhammad Ilham 5 was too similar to 3 and 4 for me. I feel it's better if it's your first or second but if you've been playing the series for a while it's pretty tired and uninteresting
Two things I want to say. 1, I've played Persona 4 first and I just playing Persona 3 Portable (Since I don't have a freaking PS2 or 3 and can't get it for 4) and so far I'm liking it. Persona 3 is definitely darker, but Persona 4 brings out more mystery's and plot twist that makes you want to know what happens next. I haven't played P3 enough yet to make a strong point yet, but I doubt I will be disappointed. 2. What is up with your profile picture?
Jason Leaf persona 5 is as dark as persona 3 was. Excluding whole phantom thief thing and ending with beliving and satan-ish mech. It was more like ending to anime 10-years (like shaman king or pokemon). But the rest of p5 is dark
(Before watching) "Persona four was awesome, I wonder what the third one was like..." (1:36 and after) "W-What the-! He's gonna actually do it? That's how they get their persona's? That's fucking suicide and-OH MY GOD HE DID IT, WHAT THE HELL! Oh hey, that persona looks alright"
the creator had it done like that because he wanted it to resemble the acceptance of death, the MC did it without hesitation because he didn't think death was that scary
Even though they have released the import DVDs of the Japanese dubs of the first two(?) for us Americans, I still have hope that Aniplex will dub it in English. Or maybe we'll get the English dub for P4: The Golden Animation first?
Orpheus: Thou art I and I am thou.. *Thanatos breaking out off Orpheus* Thanatos: Wild card, bitches >:D *Shred the shadows and returning back to Orpheus* Orpheus: o___o wtf was that?
i will be honest, when i first played this game, and the intro showed yukari pointing the evoker to her head, i was thinking "i just started and already someone is going to die?!" cut me some slack, i didn't know what to expect. ultimately, great game
I hate that I never could end this game. My drive died and cant read anymore discs :( I love this. The heros face is really the best, like its the most normal thing to pull the trigger on oneself.
OOOOOO let me try summoning a persona! *gets a gun* *shoots head* -----7 months later in the hospital Doctor: Why would you try to commit suicide??? Me: I just wanted to summon my persona... Doctor: persona?????? This guy has clearly lost it time to take him to the asylum Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! PERSONAAAAAAAAAAA PERSONNNNNNNNNAAAAA *gets a shot in the butt* *gets knocked out* --The End
It’s interesting how the criteria to awaken changes in each game. Persona 4 requires self acceptance. Persona 5 requires the ability to stand up for yourself and withstand pain. Persona 3 requires faith. A whole lot of faith. Not many people who value their life are going to put something that looks like a gun to their head and pull the trigger. But then again, that’s the point of Persona 3. Valuing the future of humanity over your own life. Besides, *Memento Mori.*
It's true. P3's ending blows P4's completely out of the water. All in all, P3's story is much darker, and much more depressing, but all the more beautiful. Honestly, that ending blew my mind. When the credits rolled I was left in tears. P4's is just too random. "O BTW everything you've known is just a LIE and i'm some god who f'cks with everything for fun"
A Japanese RPG by the name 'Persona 3', or 'Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3'. It's a very good game with a dedicated fan-base. Give it a try, or watch a playthrough. I hope you like it.
For anyone wondering in Persona 3, the operatives who can summon Persona’s were given guns called Evokers, the way to summon Personas in Persona 3 is basically succumbing to the idea of suicide and death. Evokers don’t have any live rounds in it but it makes a loud noise similar to that of a gun going off.

his smile its sooo uhhaa cool as if he really enjoy it to call his persona -^^- I really love this game it`s one of those games were u get this creepy feeling
@mokunakoi I like how you're wrong. She was new to it too and not used to summoning her Persona yet. As far as the kid's concerned, his power was explained. He's a wild card.
becuase as he was summoning his persona he had a shit in his own , a theme of the main character in these games is he takes on the roles, but becuase of his histroy his mental set is so delicate that him having a happy thought about killing one of thoughs forced out Thanatos instead of orpheous. but since orpheous was on the field already the persona had to come from with in, in a totally epic way
@Tobuji830 Well, do note that the MC flashbacks to Yukari pointing the evoker at herself when he picks it up. Also there's the fact that just believing yourself to be in lethal danger can awaken a Persona, independent of the Evoker (see: Mitsuru's initial awakening). It's also possible there's some instinctive knowledge at play here
It's wierd how they all came to the conclusion that the MC could switch personas after this, but they never really asked about Thanatos again afterwards.
Well...yes...staying true to the majority of the Megaten games and spin-offs, the main character is usually voice-less (or has very very few voiced parts) and mostly nameless (they could have an official name like Serph in DDS or could be named for another media release like anime or manga). The player is usually given the choice as to what the protagonist says and does.
@SpeedBeethoven Apparently in P3 to summon a persona, they needed to go through a mass amount of trauma. As Yukari shows, putting a gun to your head is pretty truamatizing.
Some interesting Symbolism here that I noticed with the Summoning of Orpheus and the violent appearance of Thanatos. In Greek mythology, Orpheus met his end by being torn to pieces by ravening female followers of Dionysus called the Maenads. It is said that all that remained of him was his Lyre and his still singing head. (note that the last piece of the persona Orpheus is his head)
One time, I made up a game called "Videos that make you say WTF?" The whole point is to find wacked out videos and show them to other people. I always lead with this one.
@xXMitsukixNekoXx They cut the scenes like this, as well as "walking travel" for the sake of UMD space. PsP discs have limited space, and they were already cramming basically two games onto one disc. There was really no room for the scenes.
I think the evokers is only there to trigger a state of mind. In my opinion I think there real purpose is just for conditioning, setting the user into a particular state of mind necessary to summon the persona. As it it possible to summon them without the evoker.

Oh where he actually shows emotions and would be only social when he is alone with people
@@ThiccFurryBoi34 his emotions are supposed to be the exact emotions that the player feels actually
@@Zanoladab yeah I wished he was like this in the movie
Orpheus looks so badass and is then irrelevant 20 minutes into the game
so true............. hell he was pushed aside in its introduction by a persona u cant get til late game at that
Ah, nothing better than the feeling of joy and rush of excitement that come with discovering your hidden power/potential
"Persona 3 is not edgy!"
-Tumblr
it's very edgy but still good
5 better
Muhammad Ilham no
Muhammad Ilham 5 was too similar to 3 and 4 for me. I feel it's better if it's your first or second but if you've been playing the series for a while it's pretty tired and uninteresting
Laughs in shin megami tensei nocturne
Suddenly Orpheus goes full EVA on them.
To be fair...
This was THE moment when I asked myself what did I get myself into? And I never wanted to leave!!
You have to ask WTF when not even 1 fight into the game the main character turns the gun on himself... And that makes Persona so great
@@lunarSoul0 burn my bread
Yea this is way darker than Persona 4. Lol Persona 4 is more like a Disney game to this but they are both masterpieces.
As you can probably tell, I am a fan of the Forth game
Two things I want to say. 1, I've played Persona 4 first and I just playing Persona 3 Portable (Since I don't have a freaking PS2 or 3 and can't get it for 4) and so far I'm liking it.

I haven't played P3 enough yet to make a strong point yet, but I doubt I will be disappointed.
2. What is up with your profile picture?
TETSUOOO yeah persona was more slice of life...this however I'd on a whole other level
then what is persona 5 to you?
Jason Leaf persona 5 is as dark as persona 3 was. Excluding whole phantom thief thing and ending with beliving and satan-ish mech. It was more like ending to anime 10-years (like shaman king or pokemon). But the rest of p5 is dark
Thanatos is personally one of my favorite Personas ever. I love the design and the coffins it holds around it's back.
Yuri Lowenthal does a great job in all his roles XDD This is very reminiscent of his role as Serph in Digital Devil Saga when the Atma first awakened.
I'm confused theres only 4 persona3 movies and they were they never dubbed right? So how does this exist
@@fateanddanganronpafanatic5212 this isn’t from the movies. This is from the game version of Persona 3 as a movie cutscene.
(Before watching) "Persona four was awesome, I wonder what the third one was like..."
(1:36 and after) "W-What the-! He's gonna actually do it? That's how they get their persona's? That's fucking suicide and-OH MY GOD HE DID IT, WHAT THE HELL! Oh hey, that persona looks alright"
And then 2:23 happens
the creator had it done like that because he wanted it to resemble the acceptance of death, the MC did it without hesitation because he didn't think death was that scary
I love how orpheus felt the need to transform into his strongest form for ONE shadow XD
I love thantos
This is the movie that got me into Persona. And to this day, Thanatos remains one of my absolute favorite Personas. Its design is just so awesome.
I love Akihiko's reaction when he saw Thanatos. He was like "WTF is that thing?!!"
And me, being a jerk that I am said "It's the MC's Per-So-Na. Duh!"
MC: *picks up evoker*
Yukari: That's not a gun!
MC: *stares at evoker*
MC: *points evoker at Yukari*
Yukari: D:
You thought you summon Orpheus but it was I Thanatos
Every single BGM, battle theme, and opening
of Persona 3 is just so god damn Friggin AWESOME!!!!!
So intense, oh my gaw. Can't wait for the P3 Movie English dub
The Yakamo X play the game again it lessens the pain
...isnt this in english already?

f
The best Persona awakening scene in the series imo.
They don't evokers are not real guns, it's meant to psychologicaly simulate the point of death which is when persona's are known to manifest.
Hands down the best transformation
Very very Evangelion. That show had such an impact on other artists, the editing in this scene is so on point.
What are you talking about smt has been doing dark biblical shit for 3 decades now
*Oh no shadows! I have to summon my persona but I'm too scared!*
Per- so- na! *Proceeds to blast self with handgun*
GlitchMaster2
And then some random dude, who has no idea what a Persona is, summons one first try.
@@CodesTheOtaku To be honest he was an emo.
@@CodesTheOtaku He did have a literal incarnation of death embedded in his soul egging him on.
anyone else watching because the p3p version is sad?
there's something about Minato's evil smile that makes me so turned on to him XD
Probably why he doesn’t smile a lot it’s his hidden charm
SABAKU NO WA
ORE NO STANDO DAAAAAAAAAA
OOOOOOOOR--
wait wrong fandom, sorry.
Well, they are inspired in Stands
Orpheus: Thou art I and I am thou..
*Thanatos breaking out off Orpheus*
Thanatos: Wild card, bitches >:D
*Shred the shadows and returning back to Orpheus*
Orpheus: o___o wtf was that?
Thanatos: the true you
i will be honest, when i first played this game, and the intro showed yukari pointing the evoker to her head, i was thinking "i just started and already someone is going to die?!" cut me some slack, i didn't know what to expect. ultimately, great game
I hate that I never could end this game. My drive died and cant read anymore discs :(
I love this. The heros face is really the best, like its the most normal thing to pull the trigger on oneself.
OOOOOO let me try summoning a persona!
*gets a gun*
*shoots head*
-----7 months later in the hospital
Doctor: Why would you try to commit suicide???
Me: I just wanted to summon my persona...
Doctor: persona?????? This guy has clearly lost it time to take him to the asylum
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! PERSONAAAAAAAAAAA PERSONNNNNNNNNAAAAA
*gets a shot in the butt* *gets knocked out*
--The End
Should've just settled for holding out your hand and futilely waiting for a card to come out.
:(
Except how can you survive a headshot like that
Tomoko Kuroki that's not how guns work
Naief Alromi, his ass would’ve been dead
Or why not get a mask and remove it.
0:45 lol that sounded like the mysterious stranger came out of no where.
This is why I love the Persona series.
I never stop loving this game
I like this game so much

Well said
at the start i loved when orpheus starts his line but when he said master of strings i was like ...WTF ! ...
Orpheus sounds so awesome with that "Thou art I and I am thou" speech. :D
...
...Too bad Thanatos made him implode. :|
It's true. P3's ending blows P4's completely out of the water. All in all, P3's story is much darker, and much more depressing, but all the more beautiful.
Honestly, that ending blew my mind. When the credits rolled I was left in tears. P4's is just too random. "O BTW everything you've known is just a LIE and i'm some god who f'cks with everything for fun"
This scene was very well done. I remember first seeing this. It was so weird and enticing, unlike any of the other rpgs id played.
A Japanese RPG by the name 'Persona 3', or 'Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3'. It's a very good game with a dedicated fan-base. Give it a try, or watch a playthrough. I hope you like it.
MAKING A MOVIE ADAPTION WAS THE BEST IDEA MADE BY ANYONE. EVER.
For anyone wondering in Persona 3, the operatives who can summon Persona’s were given guns called Evokers, the way to summon Personas in Persona 3 is basically succumbing to the idea of suicide and death. Evokers don’t have any live rounds in it but it makes a loud noise similar to that of a gun going off.
I just came back to feel something again.
Great quality!
After playing both Trauma Centers on Wii and Persona 3: FES I've come to one conclusion: Atlus kicks ASS!
You do realize this isn't the real movie, right? These are clips from the game

You do realize this was uploded before the movies released?
Wished they did this instead of the movie
btw that gun looking evoker is just fuckign badass, giving it more meaning to the personas an the game =)
"Good job, Dick Schwifty."
-My best friend
Honestly, the p3p scene was epic when the arms all appeared right after the mask looked around.
Per......so.....na!
*shoots self in head and proceeds to gain ungodly levels of power*
his smile its sooo uhhaa cool as if he really enjoy it to call his persona -^^-
I really love this game it`s one of those games were u get this creepy feeling
Damn, Yukari. It's just shooting yourself in the head. Man. Get some courage.
Thou art I...and I am thou...from the sea of thy soul, I come forth...I am Orpheus...Master of Strings...
quite frankly one of the most kick ass persona ever!
@beautifulpassion You're like...my hero. Not everybody keeps they're cool during something as simple as an argument on UA-cam. I applaude you.
Gotta love that badass smile
They said this somewhere in the game, but the evoker looking like a gun was to stimulate the feelings of fear, which were needed to summon a persona.
@mokunakoi I like how you're wrong. She was new to it too and not used to summoning her Persona yet. As far as the kid's concerned, his power was explained. He's a wild card.
this is why I want to make Persona 3 my first Persona game
2 people have been unable to summon their personas and get sliced to pieces by this Shadow.
becuase as he was summoning his persona he had a shit in his own , a theme of the main character in these games is he takes on the roles, but becuase of his histroy his mental set is so delicate that him having a happy thought about killing one of thoughs forced out Thanatos instead of orpheous. but since orpheous was on the field already the persona had to come from with in, in a totally epic way

Man i love this scene.Its so awesome!
in fear we can find the strength to push on, those who run when they have fear DIE that's kinda the point behind this particular scene
i wish they had those movies in the psp version!!
One time, I made up a game called "Videos that make you say WTF?"
The whole point is to find wacked out videos and show them to other people. I always lead with this one.
She had no battle experience. She wouldn't know.
2 people tried to summon a persona but killed themselves in the process.
Her misssion was to protect Minato, and so Yukari did her best.
I art thou Thou art I... We are a happy family!
Thats why a movie is on the making. Because logic....
Holy shit..
The amount of similarities in this game is actually quite funny.
2:48
Shadow: oh shit..
Thanatos: *rip*
Oh come on, cut her some slack. She was panicking and she had no idea what was she going to do about the monster.
Persona 3 is getting its own anime...
And possibly a new game, on 3DS.
a movie is in the making... just leaving this here...
I've watched this several times and it's still awesome!! XD
I'm not going to lie, I do prefer Persona 4 over Persona 3.
But Minato's first summoning looks just so damn badass.
She has never summoned her persona yet so there's no way she's going to know what her persona will do.
gah this is really nostalgic
MY FAMILY OF SHADOWS SHALL DESTROY THE WORLD
She says that it was her first time against them, so she might not have awakened to her Persona yet, and not known what she had.
2 people will feel the wrath of Thanatos. Those 2 ppl tried using an evoker, but mistook it for a real gun.
Ooooh, that does make sense. Nyx Avatar did look a bit like him, too >.>
Persona 4: Uses Yu gi-oh cards
Persona 5: Rips off masks and proceeds to bleed
Persona 3: Kills themselves
@xXMitsukixNekoXx They cut the scenes like this, as well as "walking travel" for the sake of UMD space. PsP discs have limited space, and they were already cramming basically two games onto one disc. There was really no room for the scenes.
never gets old ♥
Well if you haven't Heard, they are gonna make a Movie, no more details have been giving, but I think it's gonna be a Movie-Series, covering Persona 3
I think the evokers is only there to trigger a state of mind. In my opinion I think there real purpose is just for conditioning, setting the user into a particular state of mind necessary to summon the persona. As it it possible to summon them without the evoker.
remember the MC risk his life to save the world
man those are some sick looking knives
Man, Im tempted to go play the game again, love this series so much (:
