Like I mentioned in the intro, this video was recorded many months ago, since then I’ve completed Persona 3 and 4 and links to both playlist are IN THE DESCRIPTION !!! I will also be playing Persona 5 LIVE ON STREAM when it comes out on PC, so I hope to see some of you there ! Follow my twitch at Twitch.tv/kingjj2345
the whole "gun to the head" thing in P3 is supposed to represent the theme of accepting that life is finite and death is inevitable in other words accepting fate
Fun fact I forgot to mention now that you've completed P3: Nyx is actually a galactic entity called a "Star Eater" that had a chance collision with Earth back in the ages of simple organisms. Nyx's body became the moon (which is why the moon itself has that giant eye when Nyx descends) while Nyx's psyche ended up on Earth. The waves of Nyx's psyche conflicted with the organisms, which caused the organisms to evolve much more rapidly and gain their own to fully combat Nyx (basically the origin of humans). This caused the creation of the collective unconscious, which is why places such as P4's midnight channel exist. All "gods" (such as Izanami) you fight in Persona games aren't literal Gods, but byproducts of the collective unconscious that humans subconsciously create when worshipping said Gods. Shadows are fragments of Nyx's psyche that became so deeply rooted into humans that a human will essentially "die" without it. This is the origin of Apathy Syndrome from P3. The prophecy of the Fall comes from Nyx's physical body (the moon) reuniting with her psyche on Earth, which would cause the death of all humans. Nyx could only be sealed by the Universe Arcana. A galactic method to seal a galactic threat. This also makes Nyx the strongest entity in Persona, and potentially Shin Megami Tensei as well, serving as the origin for Shadows/Demons throughout the series, and is even above Philemon in power.
No lol, Nyx isn't the strongest entity in the franchise. Nyx is actually one of the weaker entities, and Makoto Yuki who sealed Nyx is only around Aleph level. Nyx isnt really that strong, any SMT character past the 2nd game > Nyx, and plus Philemon is literally GOD. I don't think Nyx is stronger than God, since Nyx was defeated by someone as weak as Makoto Yuki(Philemon created everything and made the Velvet Room, and Igor is his assistant) who was given power from Philemon's mere assistant.
@@ribsmeat2333 Nyx's very existence is what allows those beings such as Philemon to exist in the first place. By default Nyx is the strongest, whether you like it or not.
Just gonna point out, all of the protags are usually refered to as "Hero" or "The Protagonest" since you can name them anything you want; But they all have canon names. Persona 3's protags are 'Makoto Yuki' (the blue haired male one featured in all versions of the game) and Kotone Shiomi (the female protag added into Portable), the Persona 4 protag is 'Yu Narukami', and the Persona 5 protag is 'Ren Amamiya' or Joker as which is his Phantom Theives codename.
Most (or all, I'm not completely sure) protagonists actually have 2 canon names. For some reason they give them different canon names for the games and the anime adaptations or mangas
@@Dxs4all the ones I listed are the most commonly used ones officially. On that note Joker has so many different names since they use different ones for the stage play every single showing.
They also have manga/alternative names, which we're considered canon before the anime came out. For example, Makoto: Minato Arisato. Kotone actually heve two alternative names: Minako Arisato and Hamuko Arisato. Yu: Souji Seta. And Ren: Akira Kurusu. Minato and Minako actually are more popular names and are more used by people. For P3 protag, it's duo to the fact that manga came much earlier than the anime, and for FeMC, if I'm not mistaken, she only recently got a canon name. In both Yu and Ren's cases, the manga came out in the same year as the anime adaptation with a few months' difference. However, while Yu is a common name in the fandom, I saw only a few people who used the name Souji. While with Ren, it's fifty fifty.
"I want motor cycle guy to appear, he's my favorite character." Motorcycle guy: [was just on screen, just without his motorcycle] (Honestly same though. Tatsuya's awesome.)
Regarding Persona Q2, a fun tidbit. Each 'era' of Persona has its own dedicated vocalist - you did notice that both P5 and P5R had the same singer, but (as you probably noticed playing the games), it's the case for each group of games. Said people being Yumi Kawamura (Persona 3), Shihoko Hirata (Persona 4) and Lyn (Persona 5). The opening song of PQ2, "Road Less Taken", is actually sung as a quartet, the three female voices being Kawamura, Hirata, and Lyn - giving the song the same feeling of crossover the game does. (The fourth and sole male voice on that song being Lotus Juice, a rapper that contributed to all three Persona eras)
Looking back at this and seeing how you could "identify" certain elements, and things like figuring out things like the JOKER from Persona 2 obviously not being the same Joker from Persona 5 is something i don't see commonly on a first impression of this series
Personas are based on Stands actually, not the other way around. They appeared a couple of years before the first persona game was actually made. Also, Non persona Users can see personas as long as they are in the Cognitive World, is extremely rare that a Persona appears outside of it unless the Cognitive World and Normal World fuse or start to do so.
From what I understand about the "guns" in persona 3 is that they're essentially persona summoning training wheels. In the traditional fighting game spinoffs, they can summon their persona for a few seconds without it, but they use them for their instant kill finishers so they last more than 2 seconds. The only exceptions for this rule is the girl with short teal hair, who I believe only used it for her first summoning, and the blonde robot, who never needed one at all
Yeah basically the closer to the regular world you are the tougher it is to summon and maintain your Persona. The Dark Hour was basically a tiny pocket of the Collective Unconscious being slapped onto an area so it still very much the regular world. When the P3 cast go into the TV World they're much deeper in Collective Unconscious and thus can summon way easier (plus it being several years of training later helps since Fukka is able to use her Persona in the regular world and scan other worlds as well easily by the time of P4). This is also the explanation for why in the Q games they basically go back to level 1 since they're in a part of the Collective Unconscious that technically shouldn't exist but is deep enough to easily summon and take on Sub-Persona as well.
Btw, Persona 3 opening tells you that your gonna die in many different languages. That's why you see things like "Memento Mori" and Spanish etc. Memento Mori means; "Remember You Must Die" which is a huge spoiler.
@@KingJJ2345LIVE Memento Mori is Latin, but it also has other languages splattered across the screen. Also, there's a split second shot in the Persona 3 opening that tells you what Memento Mori means anyways.

51:23 Of course they love to dance. Dancing is one of the most basic forms of self-expression. For as long as humans have been able to move their feet to the beat in their hearts, dancing has been how we show off to others-for fun, for honor, for family, for mates, for profit, for everything.

lol. Yeah, each of the Persona games are known for being extremely dark, and they all cover different mature themes -- especially ones that teenagers constantly struggle with. It's honestly an awesome series though! But regarding the Persona 3 openings in particular: I do believe that title is renowned for being the darkest Persona game, and for good reason.
I know it's too late now but the butterfly is in reference to a character who to my knowledge only appears in Persona 1 and 2 as well as being a hefty dose of symbolism. If you're enjoying 3-5 I'd suggest you at least play Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment but only play Persona 1 if you're REALLY into the series. I nearly dropped the game too many times to count but I got through it
Yeah I’m aware of who the butterfly is now, I started Persona 1 but my god the gameplay is frustrating, I’m gonna do a playthrough of persona 2 probably after persona 5 though, I’ve heard really good things about P2’s story
@@KingJJ2345LIVE Oh it is. Be sure to play Innocent Sin first as Persona 2 is a duology. I'm playing Eternal Punishment myself. Can't wait to see your thoughts because Persona 2 Innocent Sin is so dumb and yet so serious at the same time
No, he appears in all the Persona Games. Philemon replaces Lavenza and he watches you in the school grounds in Persona 5 if you pay attention. Philemon is also in the Velvet Room, and he's visible when it's destroyed. Philemon is also like always in Persona 4 and not even hidden, plus he plays a big role in Persona 3, so Philemon is a pretty prominent character.
@@ribsmeat2333 If you mean the Butterfly, I remember someone at Atlus saying that. Still I don't even remember anyone calling Philemon by name in game. I wish he'd show up in his human form again. I know Philemon can't directly intervene but I've found so many people who think Igor is some sort of big boss when it comes to Personas and don't even know Philemon exists
Persona 5 was my introduction ti the series and will forever hold a special spot for me. The STYLE captured me immediately. Needless to say, 3 Reload and 4 Golden were immediately within my sights after getting halfway through 5. I recently picked up Royal. And I'm glad I had the experience of replaying it years later, but with new content to explore because my GOD it felt fresh again. I'm currently on a consecutive NG++, at 274.5 hours on the save file (including time spent on my phone and with the game open after I passed out on some late late nights grinding this game obsessively). The first boss took me, including his phase changes, about five minutes altogether. It feels glorious
You may have learnt it since watching these but that quote about person dreaming of being a butterfly in the original Persona 1 opening is a fairly famous buddhist koan, typically meant to question the nature of reality and identity (basically: Who is the one actually dreaming?), basically forming the 'cognition based' themes all the games follow
I did not learn that first part but that is extremely interesting, I actually like that, and I haven’t gotten a chance to touch upon any dancing games or Q2 (I wanna finish persona 5 first), but I played some of Q1 and I LOVED it, so I’m looking forward to it !
All the Persona games (at least 3 through 5 but I'm pretty sure 1 and 2 as well) are all set in the same universe with a shared timeline. Set in '09 for 3, '11 for 4 and '16 for 5. There are a few minor characters that have background narratives (like Tanaka going from corporate bigshot to TV shopping channel host to online black marketer, poor guy) and they usually give nods to what the casts from previous games have been doing in the new ones. And yes, there are crossover games where old cast meets new that are... I'm not sure there are any that explicitly contradict each other so they're all technically canon.
I’ve played 3 and 4 since this video was recorded, I loved both, (the playthroughs are in the description), but I’m glad that the universe is shared, it makes it so much better, I’m also a sucker for crossovers so this franchise was perfect for me
Personas from 3 to 5 are set in the universe of Persona Eternal punishment after creating new timeline where story of Persona 2 IS wasn't and story of Persona 1 was
P1 and P2 innocent sin take place in the same timeline P2 eternal punshinment is the branching off point for the rest of the timeline 3, 4 and 5 take place in eternal punishment's timeline so it's 2 different timelines.
@@archamtracovich8783 the story of P1 happened exactly as it did in the Innocent Sin universe in the Eternal Punishment universe hence P1 characters showing up as temporary party members in EP and discussing the events of P1
The Persona Openings Reupload, I remember this was the video where I found you & discovered your old channel TBD Anime and I’ve been a subscriber ever since.
The Q openings are GOALS they make me go bonkers (not saying this because they were my first Persona games. I played 2 hours before dropping them because I had no idea what was going on and I barely understood English at the time)
Persona was inspired a lot by jojos actually. Jojo's has inspired many things in media along with a lot of classic characters from street fighter. Awesome video though and I hope that you enjoy playing the games if you ever get into them!
I have playthroughs on both Persona 4 and 3 on this channel that came after the original recording of this video ! But yeah, thanks for the clarification on the inspirations lol Also thank you !!!
Heres a quick reason why they put a gun to their heads in persona 3! They use a gun since they realize that they are mortal and will die in their lives, when they shoot their head, their persona comes out
One important thing to note is that whenever you're seeing a "remake" or another version, it's usually because they ported the game to newer hardware. In the cases of Persona 1 and 2, their remakes were to bring them to the PSP rather than the Playstation 1. For P3, there were two remaeks, FES and Portable. I think FES went to the PlayStation 2 and Portable was the PSP. Persona 4 was Playstation 2, and Golden is now on most devices. P5 was Playstation 3/4, and then Royal brought it to all platforms. In each case, they always went back and added new content. P3 was a bit odd, since FES added a whole second story that took place after the end, yet P3P removed that, added a second protagonist arc, and removed the entire open world to replace it with a point-and-click travel system. P3 Reload looks to be a more proper remaster for current hardware.
@@TeamSenke believe what you want man, all the people that came from my other channel know this is a reupload, if you're too dumb to understand that then that's a Yu problem
so i know i’m late, but i’m here to explain the summoning methods for persona 3 4 and 5 i know i’m not the first p3, p3 portable, p3 fes, and the new p3 reload all use gun summoners called the evoker by placing it to the temple of your head and pulling the trigger. this was the chosen motif for p3 and it’s sub games as accepting one’s death, knowing and realizing that it is inevitable, and overcoming the fear of it p3’s more lesser known spinoff is p3 dancing moonlight, a rhythm game persona 4, and p4 golden is about crushing tarot cards to change one’s future, defying the possibilities this also extends from p1 and p2, as far as i know? the only reason it was changed in P3 was for the whole accept your death theme the only reason i didn’t include p4u/p4a is cause it’s a fighting style game, much like mortal kombat or street fighter or tekken stuff like that same reason for p4 dancing all night, it’s a dancing game, much like p3dm p.s. p4’s mascot of the game is kuma, meaning bear from japanese, but english localization team came up with teddie pq is a mashup between persona 3 and 4, including and inviting both characters crews from both games into one p5 is about unmasking your true self, ridding the world from evil and corruption one bad guy at a time. the whole unmasking thing imo goes both ways, as for the protags being “unmasking my true self, amongst all evil, triumphing above all wrongdoers for their own personal gain” and the bad guys as “unmasking YOUR true self, making you confess to your sins and having you repent, asking the world for forgiveness” p5, dancing star night is you guessed it another rhythm game, like dancing moonlight from p3 and dancing all night from p4 p5r, or in japan the royal is a continuation of regular p5, new stuff gets added, tweaks and all p5 scramble (or strikers as per localization team) takes place a year after the events of p5 and p5r, introducing a new combat system straying away from turn based to a free fight pq2 is the same as the one before it (pq,) but this time instead of only p3&4, it adds p5 into the mix too also joker :3
Each Persona game MC has a canonical name. Makoto for 3 Yu for 4 and Akira for 5. While Hiro/Hiiro (seen it spelled both ways) is a name hero isn't a name.
Idk if anyone said it but There are 2 persona 2 games All the persona 4 games are canon plus personQ the first one. Its complicated. Kuma means bear in Japanese so teddy is teddy bear. Because the Persona 4 dancing game is Canon it means that canonically everyone is a better dancer than anyone in Persona 3 or 5 there is another Persona game that used to be Canon but something happened that I don't know that turned it into non Canon.
Even though I'm late it goes Persona 4. Then persona q ( because it's set in between Persona 4 and in between Persona 3 there's something at the end did something to it) then if I'm correct Persona Arena then Persona 4 Arena ultimax the persona dancing go in the game you're talking about I also forgot the name but from what I heard the game was so bad it just decided not to be a game no more. Also fun fact I don't know if you know this but shimogami tensei is the original (as we know) and Persona is a spin-off but there's another spin-off card that was Survivor that uses the same devils as the other games

Persona 1 and 2 seem more somber, and the games deal with the ideas of "self" "growing up" and the psychology that Carl Jung studied/created? The games are steeped in the attitude that ATLUS had as a whole back in the 90s
Great video! Also, yeah, I am also fond of P4’s music moreso than the other games. Actually it’s the reverse. Jojo and stands came before Persona. Persona is heavily inspired by Jojo with SMT elements. Persona came out the same year as Pokémon in Japan (1996) whilst Jojo, specifically part 3 which introduced stands, came out in 1989.
when there is the persona 3 opening, in the video, there is words. and when i saw it, i died from laughing. it's french lyrics. why ? i really want to know why they put this here !
Classicsona was more focused on philosophy and psychology then later games, heavily focused on it, with a horror esque atmosphere compared to later games, with more psychedelic visuals then future games and far more symbolic visuals, it should also be played in order as it builds off eachother narratively
I know you reacted to these months ago, and even more month beyond that, and this has already probably been said. So please don't take this as like me yelling or whatever. Jojo Stands started in 1989, the first Persona game came out in 1996 so Persona drew inspiration from Jojo in that regard.

This also makes Nyx the strongest entity in Persona, and potentially Shin Megami Tensei as well, serving as the origin for Shadows/Demons throughout the series, and is even above Philemon in power.
Is this…really canon? That’s pretty high concept for Persona, as wack as it gets sometimes.
@@Gafafsg It's stated in the official Persona 3 Club Book, and no future canon has contradicted it thus far, so I'm more inclined to say it is.

@@ribsmeat2333 If you mean the Butterfly, I remember someone at Atlus saying that. Still I don't even remember anyone calling Philemon by name in game. I wish he'd show up in his human form again. I know Philemon can't directly intervene but I've found so many people who think Igor is some sort of big boss when it comes to Personas and don't even know Philemon exists
Igor is in EVERY Persona game.
Except some of the spin offs. He wasn't in scramble or Q.
Persona 5 was my introduction ti the series and will forever hold a special spot for me. The STYLE captured me immediately. Needless to say, 3 Reload and 4 Golden were immediately within my sights after getting halfway through 5. I recently picked up Royal. And I'm glad I had the experience of replaying it years later, but with new content to explore because my GOD it felt fresh again. I'm currently on a consecutive NG++, at 274.5 hours on the save file (including time spent on my phone and with the game open after I passed out on some late late nights grinding this game obsessively). The first boss took me, including his phase changes, about five minutes altogether. It feels glorious
You may have learnt it since watching these but that quote about person dreaming of being a butterfly in the original Persona 1 opening is a fairly famous buddhist koan, typically meant to question the nature of reality and identity (basically: Who is the one actually dreaming?), basically forming the 'cognition based' themes all the games follow
I did not learn that first part but that is extremely interesting, I actually like that, and I haven’t gotten a chance to touch upon any dancing games or Q2 (I wanna finish persona 5 first), but I played some of Q1 and I LOVED it, so I’m looking forward to it !
All the Persona games (at least 3 through 5 but I'm pretty sure 1 and 2 as well) are all set in the same universe with a shared timeline. Set in '09 for 3, '11 for 4 and '16 for 5. There are a few minor characters that have background narratives (like Tanaka going from corporate bigshot to TV shopping channel host to online black marketer, poor guy) and they usually give nods to what the casts from previous games have been doing in the new ones. And yes, there are crossover games where old cast meets new that are... I'm not sure there are any that explicitly contradict each other so they're all technically canon.
I’ve played 3 and 4 since this video was recorded, I loved both, (the playthroughs are in the description), but I’m glad that the universe is shared, it makes it so much better, I’m also a sucker for crossovers so this franchise was perfect for me
Personas from 3 to 5 are set in the universe of Persona Eternal punishment after creating new timeline where story of Persona 2 IS wasn't and story of Persona 1 was
@@archamtracovich8783 see now this I did NOT know, thanks for that
P1 and P2 innocent sin take place in the same timeline P2 eternal punshinment is the branching off point for the rest of the timeline 3, 4 and 5 take place in eternal punishment's timeline so it's 2 different timelines.
@@archamtracovich8783 the story of P1 happened exactly as it did in the Innocent Sin universe in the Eternal Punishment universe hence P1 characters showing up as temporary party members in EP and discussing the events of P1

The Persona Openings Reupload, I remember this was the video where I found you & discovered your old channel TBD Anime and I’ve been a subscriber ever since.
💙
51:57 This sentence aged well
I remember finding your channel through this video back in the TBD Anime Reaction channel. W video.
bro was bias for p4 before he even played it lmao.
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
36:13 ,,Oh , it's the same charakters from the fourth game''
Persona 3 Charakters: Are we a joke to you?
momento mori isnt the song title its a latin phrase for "remember you will die"
The Q openings are GOALS they make me go bonkers (not saying this because they were my first Persona games. I played 2 hours before dropping them because I had no idea what was going on and I barely understood English at the time)
I can’t wait to finish PQ and start PQ2
Persona was inspired a lot by jojos actually. Jojo's has inspired many things in media along with a lot of classic characters from street fighter. Awesome video though and I hope that you enjoy playing the games if you ever get into them!
I have playthroughs on both Persona 4 and 3 on this channel that came after the original recording of this video !
But yeah, thanks for the clarification on the inspirations lol
Also thank you !!!
Burn my dread is very memorable to me. It was my first persona game.
They did the P3P song dirty on the opening
The full song has the dopest gitar solo of ALL persona
sup my dude God bless u haha, I have seen these openings so many times, they help me get inspired for my writing and story creation
thats dope asf man, i know you're writing bangers if you use this music to get inspired
I made the same mistake of thinking Persona inspired JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but it's the other way around
Heres a quick reason why they put a gun to their heads in persona 3! They use a gun since they realize that they are mortal and will die in their lives, when they shoot their head, their persona comes out
One important thing to note is that whenever you're seeing a "remake" or another version, it's usually because they ported the game to newer hardware. In the cases of Persona 1 and 2, their remakes were to bring them to the PSP rather than the Playstation 1. For P3, there were two remaeks, FES and Portable. I think FES went to the PlayStation 2 and Portable was the PSP. Persona 4 was Playstation 2, and Golden is now on most devices. P5 was Playstation 3/4, and then Royal brought it to all platforms.
In each case, they always went back and added new content. P3 was a bit odd, since FES added a whole second story that took place after the end, yet P3P removed that, added a second protagonist arc, and removed the entire open world to replace it with a point-and-click travel system. P3 Reload looks to be a more proper remaster for current hardware.
Kuma (bear) is Teddies Japanese name.
24:20 pissed an entire fandom off LOL

Ey the reupload! (It's Croosby86 btw) this is actually where i first found u on TBD Anime, was it?

Igor was always in prior games. The (spoiler alert)
Fake Igor was kinda just a excuse because the real Igor’s voice actor died in 2010.
Igor is in EVERY PERSONA GAME
so i know i’m late, but i’m here to explain the summoning methods for persona 3 4 and 5
i know i’m not the first
p3, p3 portable, p3 fes, and the new p3 reload all use gun summoners called the evoker by placing it to the temple of your head and pulling the trigger. this was the chosen motif for p3 and it’s sub games as accepting one’s death, knowing and realizing that it is inevitable, and overcoming the fear of it
p3’s more lesser known spinoff is p3 dancing moonlight, a rhythm game
persona 4, and p4 golden is about crushing tarot cards to change one’s future, defying the possibilities
this also extends from p1 and p2, as far as i know? the only reason it was changed in P3 was for the whole accept your death theme
the only reason i didn’t include p4u/p4a is cause it’s a fighting style game, much like mortal kombat or street fighter or tekken stuff like that
same reason for p4 dancing all night, it’s a dancing game, much like p3dm
p.s. p4’s mascot of the game is kuma, meaning bear from japanese, but english localization team came up with teddie
pq is a mashup between persona 3 and 4, including and inviting both characters crews from both games into one
p5 is about unmasking your true self, ridding the world from evil and corruption one bad guy at a time. the whole unmasking thing imo goes both ways, as for the protags being “unmasking my true self, amongst all evil, triumphing above all wrongdoers for their own personal gain” and the bad guys as “unmasking YOUR true self, making you confess to your sins and having you repent, asking the world for forgiveness”
p5, dancing star night is you guessed it another rhythm game, like dancing moonlight from p3 and dancing all night from p4
p5r, or in japan the royal is a continuation of regular p5, new stuff gets added, tweaks and all
p5 scramble (or strikers as per localization team) takes place a year after the events of p5 and p5r, introducing a new combat system straying away from turn based to a free fight
pq2 is the same as the one before it (pq,) but this time instead of only p3&4, it adds p5 into the mix too
also joker :3
My question about the P4 opening is where the hell Igor and Margaret show up? Like, we never see that room in game.
actually
stands are from the 80's
persona is 90
so it's easier persona to have been inspired by jojo
I mean, Persona by the the third part has a lot of elements of Jojo.
Each Persona game MC has a canonical name. Makoto for 3 Yu for 4 and Akira for 5. While Hiro/Hiiro (seen it spelled both ways) is a name hero isn't a name.
Ren* for 5
“ I don’t know what language this is in though” I’m gonna hope you meant the Latin words floating across the screen and not the english song lyrics
Jojo came up with stands before persona 1 came out
Looks more like a harlequin than a jester.
I don't want to sound like I'm nitpicking or anything lol, but Persona took the inspiration from Jojo, since the Jojo manga started in the '80s.
Idk if anyone said it but
There are 2 persona 2 games
All the persona 4 games are canon plus personQ the first one. Its complicated.
Kuma means bear in Japanese so teddy is teddy bear.
Because the Persona 4 dancing game is Canon it means that canonically everyone is a better dancer than anyone in Persona 3 or 5
there is another Persona game that used to be Canon but something happened that I don't know that turned it into non Canon.
Even though I'm late it goes Persona 4. Then persona q ( because it's set in between Persona 4 and in between Persona 3 there's something at the end did something to it)
then if I'm correct Persona Arena then Persona 4 Arena ultimax the persona dancing
go in the game you're talking about I also forgot the name but from what I heard the game was so bad it just decided not to be a game no more. Also fun fact I don't know if you know this but shimogami tensei is the original (as we know)
and Persona is a spin-off but there's another spin-off card that was Survivor that uses the same devils as the other games
commenting before I watch the whole vid, best op is Q2 imo
At the time of this video I didnt think Q2 was my fav, but now it’s tied for my fav with Q1
@@KingJJ2345LIVE fiar enough, keep up the vids man. The fact that you responded to a comment on one if your old videos says a lot. Have a good one mate
Personas were inspired by stands and jojo is older
I'm pretty sure the 1,2,2.0 openings you saw (the first 3) were the wrong openings 😭 i can put in the links to the actual openings
I’d appreciate that, I think I still haven’t heard them to this day, also, W pfp
@@KingJJ2345LIVE yo thank you dawg
Here it is in order:
Persona 1: ua-cam.com/video/A_sR-LFfZAU/v-deo.html
Persona 2 Innocent Sin: ua-cam.com/video/-sI4ODaGXQc/v-deo.html
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment: ua-cam.com/video/R1bgbfEPUog/v-deo.html
Persona 1 and 2 seem more somber, and the games deal with the ideas of "self" "growing up" and the psychology that Carl Jung studied/created? The games are steeped in the attitude that ATLUS had as a whole back in the 90s
Scramble is the Japanese name for Strikers
Great video! Also, yeah, I am also fond of P4’s music moreso than the other games. Actually it’s the reverse. Jojo and stands came before Persona. Persona is heavily inspired by Jojo with SMT elements. Persona came out the same year as Pokémon in Japan (1996) whilst Jojo, specifically part 3 which introduced stands, came out in 1989.
I appreciate the info ! Also, thank you !!!
No, both inspired by Ung psycology. Jojo took the same inspiration since Part 3, but thats just coincidence. Stop spreading baseless rumors, dude
when there is the persona 3 opening, in the video, there is words. and when i saw it, i died from laughing. it's french lyrics. why ? i really want to know why they put this here !
Persona 3 opening is called "Burn my dread"
You mean burn my bread
🔥🍞🔥
my favorite opening is Break Out Of… from Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.
i really like that one too
They shot themself because that way they summon there persona out of them to fight
Classicsona was more focused on philosophy and psychology then later games, heavily focused on it, with a horror esque atmosphere compared to later games, with more psychedelic visuals then future games and far more symbolic visuals, it should also be played in order as it builds off eachother narratively
I know you reacted to these months ago, and even more month beyond that, and this has already probably been said. So please don't take this as like me yelling or whatever. Jojo Stands started in 1989, the first Persona game came out in 1996 so Persona drew inspiration from Jojo in that regard.
No need to yell at me 😢 (joking ofc) but yeah I definitely got them mixed up lol
This channel is growing so fast.
