I think it’s pretty obvious that the persona series is very much influenced by anime in many ways. this ranges from the visual style, humour, and even certain character tropes featured within the games. Most of these games even feature 2d hand-drawn cutscenes on occasion. while some people try to argue that this is a trend only featured in the most recent games, it can be traced back to the original persona. Man who would’ve thought that the Japanese game made for Japanese audiences would take inspiration from Japanese media. While we can argue all day whether or not this attempt at emulation is a benefit to the franchise or not, I’m sure we can all agree on one thing. The opening movies produced for these games are pretty fire. Persona openings are legendary. They’re all these intricate and exciting pieces that are just pure eye candy and have some of the best bops you can find in the industry. At the same time though, their main purpose is to help establish the tone and set expectations. I think every opening does a good job at this to some extent, but we all know how it goes. When a long running franchise is constantly putting out bangers, we gotta ask the obvious question… which game has the best opening?
I Ranked EVERY Persona Opening. In this Persona Openings tier list video, I'm going to be reviewing and ranking every single Persona Opening movie. This includes mainline and spinoff games. the only ones excluded are the Persona Anime Openings because I don't count them as a part of the main franchise. Every Persona Opening Ranked or Persona Openings Ranked From Worst to Best is an opinionated piece that looks at the Persona Opening Movies from a more artistic perspective rather than just judging them based off of their music. Persona Openings have a lot of great qualities to them and in this Persona Openings Ranked I hope to highlight some of those lesser-discussed aspects. I Ranked Every Persona Opening by Nam's Compendium is a great spot to learn something new and have a little bit of fun. Don't take it too seriously.

no
get that bag brother
no thanks id rather play a decent game than garbage.
Something something burn my bread
I am aware this might be a little dramatic but hear me out lol
As soon as I saw number 2, I literally pondered to myself
“wait what? that’s all the mainline games??”
I was thinking for a good minute on what was the last thing, especially since expected one of the base mainline games to be #1… and then it clicked and I screamed under my blanket as I realized what was gonna be number one
Why is it good that FES uses gameplay footage but bad when persona 1 does it?
bc hes a p3 shill so anythings A-okay when p3 does it
i hate the term "milking". it undermines the acually good games that are the spinoffs as if theyre just fodder.
P4D above P4? Sorry I can't accept that one.
you better because it's correct
Finallty some legit love for Road Less Taken. It's so addicting to watch. The color blending, Joker's silly karaoke, Kamoshida's stupid rapping, and how the three singers from P3, 4 and 5 harmonize into the song. It's also the swan song for thw 3ds as it was the last game released for the system.
You know, given that it was the last game to release on 3DS, that does make more sense as to why it wasn't dubbed- they barely had time to get it out on the console at all
I better see Pursuing My True Self on top or this isn’t valid 🙏
Nam, you have disappointed me.
Hello Mr Bart Xenogears
But wait, where's Moonlight Daydream ?
🤭🤫😉
In your dreams
@@ShadowOfMassDestruction yeah and dreams cost nothing
wow nice ranking. it makes me so irrationally angry that i'm gonna throw a long tantrum about it on twitter.
Average persona fan when someone doesn't agree with them about every little detail in everything
Also, hi Bubbletea. Love your videos
*Where's my P4 gang at?*
HELL YEAH I LOVE PERSONA 4
You criticised P1 psp for having some cutscene footage, but praised p3 fes and the p4 attract mode even though those are 100% cutscene and gameplay footage?
Yeah, i don't get that.
He did clearly state he was ranking every intro based on how well they fit their respective release. The attract modes have a very different purpose then the full release intros
@@WickedKillaYT idk 'bout you but the intro of P1 PSP does fit well to the games narrative. It did show cutscenes that we're relevant to the game's plots not just gameplay footage and it was only for like 20 seconds.
The song (while the tone doesn't fit P1) still has lyrics that do summarise a good chunk of it's themes.
The intro also doesn't completely spoil the game rotten (like p3fes).
Something like p3fes is too focused on showcasing all the new additions, rather than being an interesting intro.
Plus it spoiles the heck out of the game, the game was advertised as the definitive P3 experience so a new player looking to play P3 is probably going to to watch it.
So personally it feels weird seeing it below glorified trailers.
@Latestmustace if I had to guess, because FES is being seen as The Answer- it having spoilers sets up for a postgame story, as a quick refresh for people that already beat The Journey when the original game came out, and it having gameplay is good, because The Answer is more focused on being difficult
@@furiouscorgi6614but if the PQ games could put out full animated trailers, the official P3 remaster by Atlus could’ve made a cool visual instead of making an opening that’s pretty much just a game trailer
Another fun detail about Full Moon Full Life is during the last shot where Makoto throws his MP3 player, you can see him disappearing in the background while the silhouette of the other SEES members remain, foreshadowing his fate at the end of the journey.
Im still so upset the pq2 never got a dub
6:06 I hate how when they stop dancing the phantom thieves go back into a PNG pose in the background and its very choppy too.
I have never seen anyone else put
Q2 at the top, I am so glad to have found another Road Less Taken and goofy Kamoshida Man enjoyer
Prediction: original persona 4 opening will be ranked first
(my personal favorites are P3R’s opening and P3P’s opening)
16:26 disagreement. I disagree with you so hard.
P1 PSP is my favorite, and i DO think it fits well with the tone of P1. My favorite part is the look Maki gives the camera (any by extension the player), that shit still haunts me, and i think matches well with the dreamy/surreal tone of the game.
Finally, some love for the PS1 Innocent Sin intro!! I love the PSP intro too, but I think the PS1 version is definitely better in terms of tone and aesthetics. I do find the action shots to be a bit cheesy and unneeded, but that haunting prelude with the piano piece really makes up for it.
The P5 anime has one of my favorite openings simply because THE SONG WILL NOT GET OUT OF MY HEAD
and hinting at the deadline endings of some of the characters is cool too
Shout out to Dream of Butterfly its in my top 5, I dont know whats happening but Im losing my mind
I'm actually a little sad the alternate original P3 opening like P4 had wasn't on this list. I really love that one
"Midnight's just around the corner."
Please do a broader SMT one, would love to see it
I’ve been waiting for this!
My top 3 are
P3R
PQ2
P5 Vanilla
I personally like P5R's intro more than vanilla's but that's just my opinion.
Now please dont dox my ip address
I honestly disagree with a lot of your ranking; if it were me Revelations: Persona could not be more last place material. Your opinion is your opinion though, good video :)
Oh my god, you unlocked a core memory. I was in an EB games and on the corner tv they had a loop of videos, with FES opening playing in the lineup. I stood there and watched the rotation of vidoes so I could catch it, three times.
Actually really solid ranking I pretty much agree (though I would put PSP Innocent Sin way higher)
I personally disagree with Og Persona 4's placement, but I respect your opinion. Good video, too
Edit: I gave come to terms with your rating
Oh SWEET! I've been wanting Nam to do this for YEARS and I finally got my wish😃
I gotta say, the main defining thing I absolutely adore about all the Persona intros-- mostly the mainline ones, is featuring a Butterfly. IDK I just love how it's been there from the very beginning and has made a place for itself as a defining Persona motif.
Having road less taken in that spot is surprising but i absolutely agree
8:45 I think they didnt get title cards precisely because they're new. In the context of the player being an outside observer, theyre giving the spotlight to the reigning champions, the returning cast, while the comparatively underdog new characters dont get that flashy intro- they need to show their worth in combat
The only downside I have with tactica’s opening is that i wish there was more action during the chorus of the song, I know the song and the opening is about Revolution, I just wished it was more fast paced to fit the energy of the song. The opening is still pretty good.
The song is absolutely phenomenal, one of lyn’s best.
my boy got sponsored by fortnite HE NEEDS A CREATOR CODE
I was about to say if Persona 4 dancing op ain't in the top ten 10, don't ever cook again but it ended up in the top 5 so lol
Great video dude, keep cooking
Little weird that p1 opening was ranked lower than p4 and p3
What's the song that's played at 11:05?
Ngh I actually thought you were gonna put p3r opening at last.-
Persona 2 IS (psp) opening better be on top lil bro
P4 and its many iterations will have one spot in the highest tier, it has to.
Finally another Q2 enthusiast
Kinda cooked with this one tbh
Banger videos as always 🥰
Road Less Taken is legit goated
Persona? I hardly know her
Hey, you missed the opening of Persona 5 The Phantom X
He addresses that in the beginning of the video
Fully agreed on #1
bro did not cook
No Trinity Soul. No watch.
Good video btw.
Be4 watching the video I think I speak for EVERYONE that Persona 5 Vanilla have the best Opening right?
Its Top 5 for me. Not top 3. Top 3 is easily Burn My Dread, Pursuing My True Self and Soul Phrase for me
@@RenniganEagle Fair enough, I like pursuing my true self but I think it’s top 10 for me. My top 3 are Full moon full life, Soul phase, and either OG P5 opening or Persona 4 dancing opening
It's a great one but def not the best.
I know this video is mostly a subjective topic, everyone likes what they like, but Persona Q2 opening is peak and everyone should agree to that hahaha
Nah u right
That one goes so hard but Maze of Life got me tearin up sometimes.
@@ShadowOfMassDestruction to me, Maze of life and Road less taken are the openings that push me to try out Persona for myself (knew about it but was scared to try the games) so in my humble opinion, both are fantastic, but Maze of life ran, so Road Less taken could fly
@@ShadowOfMassDestructionTHIS CAROUSEL
persona
like a dragon
Ronde
What about Persona 5 The Phantom X opening?
1:52
Nah! Wait! You're so fucking real for putting road less taken as #1, that intro fucking SLAPS. 10/10 take, best ranking video, no notes
Whoa! I'm so early 😮
Oh gosh here we go
you have a lot of bad videos and this is another one
Damn he really put 5 and Q2 at the top. W.
Per son uh
P4 Golden ranked higher than I expected, but other than that the assessment of each ranking feels so right to me.
yo can u make it an actual tierlist im tryna just skip to the end of the vid n see what i agree with
persona is low effort copy/paste trash. It hasn't changed at all since the first game, its stale and lacks anything compelling. There's nothing dynamic about it. Its still shots of 5 people talking while little text boxes appear. The dungeon content is purposefully made tedious instead of being difficult. A 5 year old wouldn't have difficulty in any of these games. The cutscenes haven't been hand drawn since person 3, and the remake cutscenes are all CGI.Every characters personality is just copied from another character that came before. I played them all, but 5. and I watch a play through of that one. I am just disappointed in something. The "mature" aspects of these games are an 11 year olds opinion of what edgy is. The relationships feel weak and forced with no substance. The voice acting is always a miss. Even in japanese, the voice acting is horrible. These games are made as cheaply as possible and everyone else suffers for it.
easy there. deep breaths. remember what your therapist told you.
solution! stop playing them and then bitching about them
Nice rage bait kid.
I'm going to be completely honest with you.
I hate you. You probably don't even get the reference because instead of playing the games yourself you just look at the surface aspects of the game and say "hey, I want to crap on this in hopes of chasing clout!"
This isn't reddit kid
