After a very long delay, I'm finally done with my next challenge run. This time, I find out if it is possible to beat Persona 3 Portable without using any Personas besides Orpheus. In doing this challenge, I am forced to make use of social links, skillcards, and stat bonuses in order to make Orpheus into my ultimate Persona!
If you have any other ideas for MegaTen or Persona challenges, let me know! - Ігри

"Can You Beat Persona 3 With Only Orpheus?"
...you mean that's not how I was supposed to play the game?
@Cringy Persona Fan on my original playthrough I did what most would call "a big dumb" and just refused to use anything other than Orpheus because it felt less true to the character.
I have learned.
we've gone through the same path. I wouldnt combine my persona unless the result was Orpheus.
oops hahaha I did the same...
@Cringy Persona Fan i did this too, and a "only arsene run" in P5
The only way to play it is to be a insufferable neet and not social linking anyone else besides main story. Yeah, sounds right.

That's me after the first floor
Okay, I just got past that part and I really don't wanna see tartarus. The shit is starting to drag on. If P3 does get a remake, the floors of Tartarus needs to be trimmed down and not have the bosses be so damn hard

James Pilgrim
Not a Navi protagonist, but what about a Navi you can choose the actions of, like in Persona Q2.
@@Light-vl6sr oh yeah, good idea
If it wasn't for the fact that Nyarly had to do all the stuff with skill cards (and therefore fusing personas to make them), one could reasonably imagine that the protag had never even met Igor and learned that wildcards are a thing.
Navi protag sounds like a Robin from the Fire Emblem series

@Thi_Usi Damn, are you telepathic?
Via codes I tried using Great Seal outside of the Nyx battle, but nothing happened, it just skipped to the next character in line to attack. I suspect it has some sort of condition, that if you're fighting Nyx it triggers their 'death' sequence, which is Minato raising his hand. In another video I saw someone used a 9999 damage skill on Nyx and it went straight to the Great Seal, so presumably that's what happens if you can bring down their HP

"The last month of the game is the most depressing part of any game I've played."

Playing Nocturne with no buffs: I can't stop dying

@@rokia360 in general, and the people saying you should start with nocturne are probably blinded by nostalgia or something. its a GREAT game, but by god does it delight into kicking your fucking teeth in. playing it without buffs is the equivalent of walking up to a violent grizzly bear and not only kicking it in the balls, but taking off your pants and bending over for it to boot.
Kingdom Hearts 2 has screwed us again.
Derax Daidal :(
Truth be told nocturne isn't that hard when you get into the groove of things. I mean yeah you're gonna die a bit early game and late game a certain amount of bosses will kick your teeth in but ultimately speaking it's not that hard it's not like someone's suggesting you start off playing strange journey or something.

Not gonna lie...I was expecting him to play the FES version lol.
Reverof Enola I was too but in fes skill cards aren’t a thing and the only way to get him better moves is creating him via fusion with fool personas while portable has skill cards it’s much more simple basically it’s way more difficult to do it on fes while portable is the best way to go for a Orpheus only run
I can confirm, skill cards are not a thing in FES. I was so confused reading game guides and fusion lists because a lot of people didn't label the guides for the different versions.
Also, you can't really control party members in FES. You can give a bit more specific guidelines, but you can't control what skills they keep or any battle action between skills/physical attacks/running away. Instead of them being "playable" characters, they are party NPC's.

Persona 3 is absolutely amazing, Orpheus only or not. Everytime I playthrough and beat it, and every time I hear Kimi no Kyouku, I still tear up a bit. It was probably the first game that I truly felt sad about beating due to how connected I felt to everything regarding it.
The party members are my favorite, as their character developments never just end when their dungeon is finished. They constantly change through the whole game, and their growth isn't just determined by their own Social Links.
Love this game and I hope Atlus will care enough to do a full remake with P5-Level Assets and Polish.
Same here, except instead of Persona 3 it's Persona 5. I honestly kinda "grew up" with the Phantom Thieves and knowing we might get a new Persona game in the future, meaning there's gonna be a new cast, it's hard to let them go. It's kinda a hard-to-swallow pill
Great News

@Retendo you're seriously the first person I've ever met who doesn't like the PS1 soundtrack, literally everyone I've ever talked to, both online and IRL, about the game either loves it or is indifferent to it, but they all agree it's superior to the trash repetitive Jpop from the PSP remake.
Karl Schweinfurth JPOP ost isn’t even bad, original sounds corny and old, and I love the PS1 smt OSTs
God persona 3 is so good. The ending will never cease to make me feel almost. . . empty.
I tried to defeat Nyx Avatar with my original, level 99 Orpheus. I didn't teach him any skills other than the ones he learns from leveling up. I eventually did succeed, but it took absolutely friggin' forever. Keep in mind I only did that for the Nyx Avatar battle. For some reason I thought it would be a fitting, and poetic final battle by finishing it with the original Orpheus. Instead all I got was lots of pain, and tears. That didn't stop me though since I did that as well with Erebus in FES.
Messiah is kinda supposed to be Orpheus' evolved form, so, less pain that way.
It's almost as if Atlus got a ton of flak for not making Nocturne accessable, so their response was to double down and force you to learn the systems.
I'm pretty sure that weird box is because the blinking sprite is just a temporary overlay over the character image which the emulator fails to align properly.

What?
@@celestine-valentine6993 My thoughts exactly, the Hell are they on about?
@@finalhunter6177 I believe they are talking about how Personas are known by basically no one in 4 and 5, while in 3 they are a known factor to a decent amount of people.
This ending with Kimi no Kioku in the background is still hitting me right in the feels.
I gotta say this is a great way to start the decade. Persona 3 honestly doesn’t get as much love as Persona 4 and Persona 5 even though it has a great cast, a overall good storyline that make sense in the future games, and great Persona’s. I started the Persona series with the 3rd installment and I have to say. That persona 3 means more to me than the other sequels sure I love P4 and P5 all the same but those events would’ve never happened without P3. Persona 3 is the best persona game and I’m proud.
The original Persona 4 is for PS2. Why would you need a Vita, unless playing Golden?
I have a ps2, ps3, and ps4. Sure, I don't need the ps2, since the ps4 can play ps2 games. But why would you buy a vita for just one game?
Get a ps3. It can play games for ps 1, 2, and 3. Ps4 can only play ps4 games.
That way, you can get Persona 1 and 2: IS/EP as well.
Is it worth buying a PS Vita just to play Persona 4?
Sierra Fry ps vita/tv versus getting a ps3, I'd say a vita/tv is better because p1,2 and 4 have there definitive editions while PS3 has the og games and few. And p3p is just as good as FES if not better.
For anyone wondering to fix the white box issue, set texture filtering to nearest instead of linear
ngl, the first time I played Persona 3, it was as the FeMC. I got super invested in Shinjiro's social link. I actually managed to complete it, too. When I reached that cutscene, I actually cried. I kept that his stuff and exclusively used Sandalphon for the rest of the game. It got pretty good, too.
[10:45] "Cadneeza."
It's Cadenza, my dude.
Cadense.
"Caizar" tho
Caesar with a hard C is accurate Latin pronunciation at least.
Oh, I can name several things he "mispronounced" based on regional dialect.
Cadenza and Caesar being two of them.
Caesar might be excusable with the dialect, but "Cadneeza" is phonetically incorrect (it literally contradicts the spelling).
"Nik looks nothing like ryoji" huh it the hair
Also the voice
The face, the hair, the voice
Haha, I know the portrait blinking problem he's talking about. In the visual novel cutscenes, the game seamlessly flashes a matching layer of the characters' closed eyes over the open eyes. Emulators do a bad job hiding layered images and textures tho.
I only used Orpheus for fun in the Normal Dificulty with my beloved Makoto, i love Orpheus, he is just SO cool. And i hope to finish this run to do New Game+ and get my Shinjiro Ending with Kotone, and do the Orpheus Route again!.
I wish they'd remake this game so so so so so so very much...
It would be awesome if they remade it with both the male and female protagonist, adding the animated anime cutscenes to the female protagonist. Heck, they could just keep P3 FES graphics, and I would be a happy man.
Why? All of the game's versions are perfectly fine as they are. I know some other titles that *desperately* need remakes though...

Challenge Run Idea: Beat Strange Journey will only the Jack Frost line.
Other Idea: What if Pokemon Gen 1 had the framework of SMT types, elements, and affinities for all 151 Pokemon?
That'd just be family friendly smt
@@hazmatech4117 Not the point. You would go through all the trouble to come up with elements and affinities that resist, drain or null for 151 Pokemon.
@@EnvyMizuhashi basically that demi kids gameboy game (its been a long time since I played that game in an emulator, and this is a joke, dont @ me)
On a serious note, sounds like an interesting subject to tackle. I was thinking of making a gen 1 game but smt style idea the other day.
here is an example, Pikachu would resist Zio attacks but weak to Zan. But later demon, like Raichu, would absorb electric attacks.
But you can't get any of the jack frost line until you finish the first sector which includes a main boss
@@n-extrafries-surprise When it comes to attacks, we could actually retain the moves in Pokemon, just re-appropriate them for the smt framework. Instead of Pokemon types for affinities, we can go along the lines of Fire, Water (including Ice), Lightning, Wind (i.e. Flying/wind related moves), Nature (i.e. Grass/Poison/Ground), Magic (Fairy/Dragon), Mind (i.e. Psychic) and Dark. Physical types like Steel, Fighting and Normal can easily be refit into Slash, Strike, and Pierce.
And if you're wondering "where's bug, ghost and rock?" This is where we have more "sophisticated" Types, rather than Races. Mons like Arcanine are Beast; Ekans is Reptile, while bugs are still Bug and Dragon-like Mons are still Dragon.
This Mans really said Akihiko's persona was KAE-ZAR
Isn't that the proper Latin pronounciation? That's what the German word "Kaiser" comes from.

I just realized that more or less Aegid's social link implies that the tarot deck being referenced is Aleister Crowley's Thoth tarot deck... Crazy.
Makes sense considering Aegis' and Messiah are marked under Tarots from the Thoth Tarot deck
Uhhh.. aigis
@@ln8496
It's Aegis in the Japanese, Aigis in the English. I personally prefer Aigis as well for the AI pun, but they're not incorrect.
@@CyanMedic I always call her Aegis in my head, just because I was exposed to the "aegis shield" term beforw, and was convinced the japanese were referencing that.
@@denkerbosu3551
No, you're right, that's absolutely the intended reference. The English added on an additional AI pun. So a defender robot, an artificial intelligence guardian, an AI-gis.
35:00 The manga shows that execution means being frozen in ice.

I played around and tweaked the settings a biut in the PSP Emulator when I played Persona3Portable on it. To get rid of the box outline when the characters are blinking, u have to first turn on buffered rendering, then set the rendering resolution to 2x PSP and set the Postprocessing shader to FXAA Antialiasing.
P.S. If the game crashes in some parts of Tartarus, u have to switch the CPU core in the Developer tools to Interpreter. It significantly slows the game down, especially on lower end devices, but once u get through the moment where the game crashes, u can switch back to Dynarec JIT for best performance. If u're playing on an iPhone, then switch to IR Interpreter since Dynarec JIT is unavailable there.
I'll try to keep this in mind since I think emulation is a far superior option to playing the game on the original hardware.
Nice one

Honestly one of my favorite rewatch videos. I watched this on a slow night when it came up in my recommended after beating persona 5. It was also what got me to emulate and play persona 3 which subsequently became one of my favorite games
I gotta say... I didn't expect the heartfelt sendoff at the end. I was really just expecting this video to be an entertaining, concise gameplay rundown. But I was happy to hear your thoughts on the story going along, as well.
I feel like Persona 4 gets so much more praise than it deserves, and most fans just kind of view Persona 3 as some inferior sidenote. It makes me feel good to see others appreciate this game for what it manages to accomplish... 'cause despite its faults, it goes above and beyond with what it does do right.
eh?? its really the opposite from what i’ve seen. p3 is always praised minus i suppose some mechanics but- story wise and character wise it’s always praised.
Persona 3 except you're basically like all of your teamates.

Kimi no Kioku as the screen whites out always makes my eyes red af. I just can't help it.
Ugh, The Battle For Everyone's Souls is such a good song
Glad you lightly addressed the story at the end. Cause this whole time I was like, "Who the hell plays through a Persona game for just the gameplay?" Then you say this is your fourth time. Now it all makes sense haha. Great video.
Anyone reading this who hasn't played this game, still do it. He wasn't kidding at the end when he sang its praises, and he skipped over a ton of stuff. Even summarizing entire social links by saying, "I did the social link for this arcana," doesn't cover the entire story of that link. He mentioned how this is a loooooong game, and he couldn't touch on practically any of the story or else this video would be like 5 hours long even summarizing it.
Even knowing the broad strokes of what happens, that isn't the same as playing it, yourself. The story gets tailor-made to you, in a way, as how you choose to spend your in-game time informs the character and what he ultimately decides to do at the end. He was tearing up at the end with good reason, and he ain't the only one. This is a difficult game (especially if you're playing P3FES where there's no direct command over your party), but it's absolutely doable if you play it smart and heed the game's warnings about how to succeed.
For the Chidori fight, I started up like I usually do. I concentrated on MC and buffed Atk and debuffed Def. Then I felt good in starting out with a Bufudyne... which killed her. I was like "Wait, that's it?"
When you find out you've already watched a video that got recommended to you...
