Something I don’t see enough people talk about are the new group study scenes. They’re just great little scenes that show off the group dynamic and contribute a lot.
22:17 a totally insane and fun fact is tht When Aleks Le, the voice actor for Mr Yukk, streamed the first couple hours of the game, he talked about how that scream was one of, if not the first take he did in the studio. and that somehow it naturally created a slight distortion effect with how much it peaked the studio's audio equipment. Aleks offered to do more takes but the team told him that the first one was the best, and used it in the final game right away
@@ZonaiHero-ul5nm And fun fact: That was his first take. They told him to do it again because that scream gave them the impression the mic picked up distortion but nope, that was his actual scream. Suffice to say, they left the first take as is for the game.
Alejandro absolutely nailed it. The number of times he's been asked to sign things or just say "You're a moron", and the fact his agent called him to tell him he got the role and said "Is this Akihiko?" and he said "No?"... FRICK, the Reload casting is perfect.
Im a fan of Kaggy, but my opinion of his Akihiko voice has been mixed thus far in my own playthrough. I trust I'll get used to it. I definitely can't wait to hear Dawn M. Bennett as Aigis!

I just noticed something because of what Crystal said at 19:24. He was wearing the updated armband already because he was testing it out like he said when everyone gets one. The attention to detail in this game is crazy.
It's a more formal word for bathroom/toilet in America. According to a quick Google, apparently there used to be couches and stuff in there for you to literally rest.
I haven't had the time to stop in to the streams for this playthrough yet... But the MOMENT I saw this uploaded, I was like "YOOOOO" and immediately clicked. SO hyped for your playthrough of this!!
Same here. I gave it a quick gander, but I'm waiting for my home internet to still be connected, so even though I need to conserve mobile data, I AM SO EXCITED!
The year is 2024 The Aurora Borealis are visible. Soda pop continues to be delicious. CrystAAHHL is playing a Persona Game. All is right with the world.
i was so hype when allegra clark and alejandro saab were announced as vas. i knew allegra was an excellent choice for mitsuru and alejandro has voiced 2 othe guys with white hair and lighting powers and would be a fun take on akihiko's voice. plus both are really fun people, talk about their roles and get involved with the communities. they do a lot of streaming too, with alejandro being a vtuber
My mum has the same name as Allegra's Street Fighter character, so I showed my mum some clips and she just the the Italian hand pinch and went "NOW THAT IS A STRONG WOMAN!"
Man tho, 10/4 is still incredible well done, yet despite being so sad it leads to one of the best theurgy’s in the game, also it’s a shame thst early one Crystal didn’t find the rewind feature lol
I can't wait to see the REST of your reactions to this amazing REMAKE of Persona 3, like Akihiko once said "I've been waiting for this!" (Yeah, I have this is gonna ROCK so HARD!)
Having actually viewed most of the subathon live, I can't believe it only took 9 days to completely get through P3R. Hats off to you Crystaaahl, its been one of the greatest experiences!
I found your streams after I first played P5R after the Switch/Xbox ports came out and I immediately got obsessed with the entire franchise. Ended up watching all of the different highlights for your playthroughs, and it is so great being able to re-experience P3 all over again with you! I love the longer videos too!
Wearing the same outfit from the FES finale is a nice sentimental touch, I really love that stream series of yours. It got me through the hard 2 years at work under the effects of the pandemic and introduced me to one of my favourite casts of characters and stories! Your passion for what you play is so enjoyable
15:30 Building off of what you were saying here, an especially cool thing about the decision to get an entirely new voice cast for this game is that, because a lot of this newer cast is younger, some of these people grew up playing this game. I know that Junpei and Akihiko's new voice actors have said that Persona 3 was one of their favorite games before taking up their new roles in the remake, and I think maybe Mitsuru's said something similar but I'm less positive on that one.
Although Kenji is a questionable character, His voice actor - Joe Zieja - is amazing and voices one of my favourite characters in all of gaming in Claude Von Riegan from Fire Emblem
I have limited mobile internet as my ISP can't send a technician to set up my fibre until Friday, but gosh dang it I'll use a bit of my mobile data to bump that algorithm! Holy hot dang, I had no idea we'd be getting some Reload this quick, and even from the early subathon shorts, I am so pleased you're able to experience a game like this in a whole new second way from FES and Portable. And you're spot on, the new voice cast are giving a whole new energy to this story without taking away its soul. Allegra Clark has been a highlight for me, and given how much I loved her performance as Marisa (ha, my mum's name) in Street Fighter, her Mitsuru performance is magnifique. I will 100% be getting a copy when I can drop the 70-80 dollars it's going for in Australia - or I luck out finding a 20 dollar steelbook like I did with P5R - but until then... super please to see you burning that bread and Makoto Yukk just not caring. Congrats on manifesting Reload through your rumours, Crystaahhl. 😊
I have been loving every second of this game so far!! the updated graphics, added character interactions, group study sessions UGH everything is just so good!
Hey loving the vids so far! It's fun seeing CrystAAHHL's PC stutters in some areas in this PC port, I thought because my PC was trash, I realized it's a common thing across variety of computers
To be honest, FES awakening is much more cool, darker and on point than reload who's have more stability than FES. Either is good just pick your poison
I was really excited for these streams. I was super happy that the subathon lasted for the entire game. This was too good not to complete. This was my first experience with the Male MC and I am glad that I waited for Reload.
28:18 I just got spoiled on how many floors, I’ve come so far in the game without looking up how many floors, only to watch this and learn how far my progress is. Darn
I also started p3r after playing the p2 duology, and I never realised how actually tight the link to the duology the third game had. It goes beyond the Hermit s-link. (In the original JP version the mmo isn't even innocent sin, appatently, btw) Like the way they talk about rumors in first school days, or how the bigger plot came to be originally, and even forshadowings of the anti-shadow weapon.
I feel like it's kind of important never to change the voices of the velvet room attendants/Igor because, if the velvet room is outside time, then in theory no matter how many playthroughs happen, no matter how many remakes, sequels or other various timeline branches happen, they will always be the same instance of themselves.
19:12 Why? Girl why? 😂 21:33 Why do all the protags have that creepy smile when they get their powers at the beginning? 40:11 Girl enough with the armbands, they mean nothing🤣 51:43 And that's why you don't play on hard difficulty on your first playthrough.😊
If you like Persona, you might want to try the Trails of Cold Steel-series. It has a lot of similar Features, high-school setting, calender, social links. But it is different enough to be its own Thing. A lot of the Persona cast is also in this game.
I’m glad I got to play P3 for the first time in this remake. Been wanting to play P3 since I played P5. Glad I got into JRPGs because of you. I have been also enjoying your YLYL videos. Stay awesome, Crystaahhl!
One thing I personally feel is weaker in reload is actually makoto's persona awakening. I would have preferred it far more to be in animation instead of using the in game models. This version looks more jank and doesn't impact quite as hard as it would have it if was done with the animation style they used for the tartarus reveal.
13:49 *THEY ARE ALL MORGANA!* 17:34 the thing is he's connected to FeMC so unless they get their fingers out of their ears and figure out how to add her Theo will always be locked out 28:19 it doesn't have quite that many floors here... 50:20 dammit ATLUS, did you HAVE to make the mind of every male gamer think about sexual thoughts about the first boss by literally putting B and J on her b**bs?
Something I don’t see enough people talk about are the new group study scenes. They’re just great little scenes that show off the group dynamic and contribute a lot.
They are great
I adore how much more SEES seem like friends in Reload as they
Wasn't expecting study sessions to make me cry in a remake but the mad lads did it.
22:17 a totally insane and fun fact is tht When Aleks Le, the voice actor for Mr Yukk, streamed the first couple hours of the game, he talked about how that scream was one of, if not the first take he did in the studio. and that somehow it naturally created a slight distortion effect with how much it peaked the studio's audio equipment. Aleks offered to do more takes but the team told him that the first one was the best, and used it in the final game right away
must have been wild to witness in the studio
Meh his voice is weakest in the game.
There not so many line for MC too and he still trash it.
People have their opinions i suppose, i think he did good tho
@@theesitchaowalittawil1935he also voices ryoji and pharos
He's got the best shouts in the industry😎
AleksLe ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT as Makoto Yukk
M4k0t0 Yukk
Seriously that scream when he first summons Thanatos was crazy.
@@ZonaiHero-ul5nm And fun fact: That was his first take.
They told him to do it again because that scream gave them the impression the mic picked up distortion but nope, that was his actual scream.
Suffice to say, they left the first take as is for the game.
@@MaxusFox23
Heck yes, Aleks delivers
What? He make it so bad it lack personality Akihiko VA so muchhhhh better.
Cold take right here, I think Alejandro Saab (aka my boi Kaggy) did a phenomenal job as Akihiko in this game
Oh trust me, he shut up everyone's criticism when they got to October 5th.
Agreed, he did great!
I've been waiting for this
Alejandro absolutely nailed it. The number of times he's been asked to sign things or just say "You're a moron", and the fact his agent called him to tell him he got the role and said "Is this Akihiko?" and he said "No?"... FRICK, the Reload casting is perfect.

30:33, when you hear music that makes you get up and DANCE.
have i watched most of everything during the stream? yes
will i watch everything edited down? yes again
I didn’t even know there was only ONE Bebe merch thing, I thought there would be more, not as much as the main cast, but at least more than one
And why a trading card? And why is this trading card game not in the West?
@@Scorpionspear77 it is in the west! It’s just a not very popular card game called Weiss Schwarz
Fr I just need ONE Bebe charm

I didn't realize I missed Crystal's Persona content this much until I re-experienced all her love for the franchise again here
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
LETS GET IN THERE
HAH, DID YA SEE THAT SHINJI?
I’m fighting… for him…
Doesn't look like we'll be needing a 10-count.
Okay, NOW!
I just noticed something because of what Crystal said at 19:24. He was wearing the updated armband already because he was testing it out like he said when everyone gets one. The attention to detail in this game is crazy.
25:30 WHY THE FUCK IS IT CALLED A RESTROOM, I'M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE IN HERE
It's a more formal word for bathroom/toilet in America. According to a quick Google, apparently there used to be couches and stuff in there for you to literally rest.
Alejandro Saab did an amazing job as Akihiko, I remember when I was cosplaying Makoto Yukk and I got to meet him
The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed
Holly, the persona 3 subatton almost killed her by how succesffull it was
I mean... the OG Priestess had ~7 mins time limit with having to run through several cars and battles.
Did you notice the Shadow licked her lips?
I never realized until this game, but when Thanatos appears you can clearly see Ikutsuki recognizing him.
WE MAKING IT OUT OF TARTARUS WITH THIS ONE 🗣
During your reaction videos I sometimes forget you're also a trained dancer and I get (pleasantly) surprised.
I love that they added the dialog of Yukari struggling to use the evoker in her room from portable
I haven't had the time to stop in to the streams for this playthrough yet...
But the MOMENT I saw this uploaded, I was like "YOOOOO" and immediately clicked. SO hyped for your playthrough of this!!

I've been a little down in the dumps lately but this comment helped cheer me up.
i was so hype when allegra clark and alejandro saab were announced as vas. i knew allegra was an excellent choice for mitsuru and alejandro has voiced 2 othe guys with white hair and lighting powers and would be a fun take on akihiko's voice. plus both are really fun people, talk about their roles and get involved with the communities. they do a lot of streaming too, with alejandro being a vtuber
My mum has the same name as Allegra's Street Fighter character, so I showed my mum some clips and she just the the Italian hand pinch and went "NOW THAT IS A STRONG WOMAN!"
Your reaction to Shinji was everything I hoped it would be!
There you go again, Crystal.
DISTURBING THE PEACE!
Zeno Robinson and Alejandro Saab are AMAZING va's for their roles in this games!
The montage for Persona 3 Reload begins... I've been waiting for this!
Man tho, 10/4 is still incredible well done, yet despite being so sad it leads to one of the best theurgy’s in the game, also it’s a shame thst early one Crystal didn’t find the rewind feature lol

As a french, hearing Bebe talk either in english or japanese kills me inside a bit more every time, so he's one of the few P3 SL I didn't complete.
If you’ve ever seen my hero academia and heard of yuga aoyama you would die even more
The new singer's name is Azumi Takahashi. My favorite songs of hers other than in persona 3 reload are Believe, Sonomama & Relight My Fire.
I found this channel recently, I’ve been loving this as a huge SMT fan.

THIS GAMEPLAY BRING EYES TO MY TEARS 😭✨
0:01 Go white boy go
This was the best remake I never knew I wanted. Also RETURN OF THE MOOOOON GOD
Always love watching you play Persona games! Very entertaining! Thank you for the video!
This is the Remake we Persona fans all deserved! I love your videos and I love seeing your passion and enthusiasm ❤
I have been loving every second of this game so far!! the updated graphics, added character interactions, group study sessions UGH everything is just so good!
Lets go!!!! So excited to watch this as a video series now!
Hey loving the vids so far! It's fun seeing CrystAAHHL's PC stutters in some areas in this PC port, I thought because my PC was trash, I realized it's a common thing across variety of computers
This game was perfect imo I loved everything the voices, the music, the game play, the new mechanics, it was such a fun play through
39:07 I guess you never saw it comiiiiiing!
To be honest, FES awakening is much more cool, darker and on point than reload who's have more stability than FES. Either is good just pick your poison
15:22 That's what we call the Alejandro Saab effect :)
You just talked over hearing Lotus Juice sing for the first time in a Persona game!!!!!!
The Bebe trading card...I love it. I need him and Akinari now.
It’s Crystaaahl’s fault that now everytime I see Bebe y scream “Bebe!” and now I love him and he was one of my fav social links
10:36 "Junpei, we have to cook"
I was really excited for these streams. I was super happy that the subathon lasted for the entire game. This was too good not to complete. This was my first experience with the Male MC and I am glad that I waited for Reload.
I played Persona 3 FES and this remake was like meeting with old friends. So Nostalgic
Perchoba 3 reload, im been waiting for this!
Gotta get caught up on these p3 reactions from the absolute cutest 😍
28:18 I just got spoiled on how many floors, I’ve come so far in the game without looking up how many floors, only to watch this and learn how far my progress is. Darn
the POTAAAANTIAL
i love the bit with the toilet, it's funny every time
16:18 oh what a funny fella I hope he doesn't betray us at the end of the game 👁️👁️🤣🤣
my final playtime for this game was 180 hours. on my first playthrough. i LIVED in this game bro
Not sure if someone mentioned this, but the female singer in Reload is new while they kept the same male performer
Yukari had Percy Jackson's pen sword. Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one that got culture shock from the new Mass Destruction
I also started p3r after playing the p2 duology, and I never realised how actually tight the link to the duology the third game had. It goes beyond the Hermit s-link. (In the original JP version the mmo isn't even innocent sin, appatently, btw)
Like the way they talk about rumors in first school days, or how the bigger plot came to be originally, and even forshadowings of the anti-shadow weapon.
I really hope we get a full Reload series, I really want to watch Crystal enjoy the game again
Im playing P3R at the moment and i love it so far, so much so that i would love if for P4 to be remade exactly the same way.
23:39 LMFAOOO IKUTSUKI'S FACE 😭😭
Nobody speaking about how junpei just summed up the entire original motive for alchemy
Turning stuff into gold
52:20 ??? But Elizabeth's VA's the same VA from the original releases?
She doesn't know, everytime a game is announced she mostly stays blind to any news, she probably only knew the voices for the main cast
