The opening to P3 Dancing Moon Night is special to anyone who took the story of P3 to heart. The reason being that the lyrics are a conversation between the SEES team and Makoto after the great seal. He comes back for 1 night just to be with them. That's why P3 Dancing Moon Night is my #1.
Read the lyrics to P3D’s OP as you listen to it, consider that it has been years since we’d seen the P3 cast together like that and then come back to put it at rank #1 like it deserves! …or #2 behind Q2 because those lyrics are fire too honestly.
Shadow World is the literal shadow of Pursuing My True Self. Its literally what people who've never played P4 believe Persona is when its actually the other song that fully embodies the themes of the game
I think Shadow World portrays the tone somewhat well (yay happy😁, murder😦, yay happy😁) but other than that Pursuing My True Self portrays the themes and story so perfectly, has a great song, and great visuals, and it just gets me more hyped to play the game.
At least personally I don't really mind as shadow world really doesn't serve the same purpose as pursuing my true self. If anything it's more along the lines of colours flying high where it's just a celebration of that game through a more upbeat op that showcases and celebrates the charicters while putting a bit of focus towards one of the new re-release charicters (Marie and yoshizawa respectively).
I do agree, P3, P3R, and PQ2 are built different in that order Every time I watch the P3 OP I just get this feeling that I am sitting down for something real
Honestly, the first two openings are far better if you read the translations for the poems. "Butterfly Dream" and "The Doppelganger" add so much since they both tie into themes of the story.
All 4 P1 and P2 openings tie into the stories in so many ways and the PSP versions of both spoil basically the entire plot and it’s deeper meaning. (Which is why rewatching those OP’s after finishing the games is insane)
@@toad7395 Unfortunately, Innocent Sin's story doesn't work without the occult nazi stuff. Believe it or not, a lot of what happens in that game wasn't pulled from Atlus' ass, Hitler was legit after the Spear of Destiny in real life haha

@@Gael-x999 Nah. Most of these openings I'm hearing for the first time. only played P5. And Reload is top 3 easily. Musically it's probably the best. You've probably just got nostalgia bias.

@@recctangle180 u wish I was mad I’m just calling you hype beasts out calling this op “easily by far” the best opening is very absurd considering how there’s so many other better high quality openings across the franchise
It shows that the team working on it really played the original and love it. Because there's such love in this opening. A love that I don't see since persona 5 actually. None of the re releases of any of these games had the same level of love. Not even p5r which I think it's kinda bad actually.
I want to say this about persona 3 dancing in moonlight because while the sound of the song doesn't fit fully THE LYRICS GOO HARD: Yeah, uh-huh Uh-huh, been awhile It's good to see you, how you been?

P3 Reloads Opening really got me like that too man xd Even though OG P5 was my shit back then, P3R opening singlehandedly revitalized my excitement for Persona. Great tierlist!
There’s nothing more iconic than p3s opening for me. The drum snare on Minato shooting himself is like one of the hardest visual/music syncs I’ve ever seen
Fun fact, P3 FES’ opening movie is literally just its E3 announcement trailer. That’s why there’s gameplay clips in it and it doesn’t have any new animations
One thing I'll say about p5 tactica is that while the opening is just fine, the combat music goes surprisingly hard, personally the thing I liked the most about the game lol.
I have so much lov2 for p3. That when I 1st heard p3 dancing op and hearing lotus say "it's been a long time, how you been?" Fuck man. The lyrics hit me big time
My favorite opening is Break Out Of… (Persona 4 Arena Ultimax) I know it’s an unpopular opinion but still I judge people on whether or not they give it the respect it deserves.
Yep P3R literally is a testment of how the team making it love the original game. It's not full of ridiculous flair that all other re release openings have and it even surpassed the original. P3R then P3. I do think PQ1 is better than PQ2 tho.
Welp time for another tier list with Matt and Tevin with Matt being clueless on what's going on and Tevin having some hot takes and trashing mass destruction
3 gotta be the most glazed cast. I get it, I love 3. But I hate it when everyone dislikes 4-5 when all the games have pretty good depth. 3 was just a bit darker
I think people just appreciate how realistic the cast was portrayed in Persona 3. Some of the characters in 4 and 5 weren't as deep as nearly the entire cast of P3. If every cast member in P4 had the depth of Kanji and Naoto, thing might be a bit different. Then in P5, I'd argue out of the main cast, no one comes close to Naoto, Kanji or almost anyone in P5 (except Futaba, the GOAT.) I still love P5 and love all the characters but that aspect is a little disappointing.
Exactly Bro tell me about it 😒 I like persona 3 as well but Im so sick of how the fandom is infested with endless P3 meat riders like ok we get it, it had a nice theme about death and the game was a bit darker than the others but that does not mean P5&4 are by default worse smh 🤦
@@RimuruSolosYourMultiverseit had abit less anime tropes I give you that but saying it has “more self awareness” is just such a nothing blanket statement, all persona games have self awareness stop meat riding P3 so hard
The blatant P3 glazing and the unwarranted hate P4 gets in the community is so baffling to me just cus a game is slightly darker doesnt automatically mean it’s better get over yourselfs jeez
Exactly, persona 3 fans shitting every game came after is wild, since 4 and 5 are better in every way gameplay wise, and imo even in the story telling and political undertone. Persona 3 has a great sending but the story definately feels childishly edgy at times, and with it being an experiment it doesent at all have the pace of the two sequels, even persona 2 or mainline smts. That being said I still love the game. Sad to see what the remake is looking like
@@tom6626 persona 4 is weaker then 3 and 5 imo. Doesn't mean it's a bad game btw. Its still good! It's just that about half of the dungeons aren't the best
I just found out about u and thought about watching more until you not only put q2 in second but then had the AUDACITY to place it third ykw nah i cant do this im pulling a p3 irl😭
P3 Dancing was done dirty 😅 That song is AMAZING, all the reference and reflection on the meaning of/events of P3 itself alone 👌 (even more so in the full version of the song) Also totally forgot that the P3D OP is clearly where they got the "Water" elements for the P3 Reload Menus. One cannot deny that P3D is the better game though between it and P5D (the amount of games P3D was able to pull Music from for Remixes is VAST by comparison, whilst P5D remixed the same like 4 songs 5 times each... And they're kinda shit remixes too imo) Also you skipped Persona 2 Eternal Punishment PSP OP.
P3 and Reload are the most emotionally evoking songs for sure and i just like the p3 story the stakes always felt higher in those games idk man. Now rivers in the desert though 👀 best p5 song

Wasn't so easy

It was always here
Remember the times when our hands fell down hard
But we brought it back
Not always good but together made impact
Became a true pack afterward to be exact yup
Blissful times
You always erased my doubt
That's what friendship's about"

Persona is my 2nd Favorite VideoGame Series of All Time
The Persona 2 Innocent Sin opening on PS1 is an absolute troll and i love it😂
Kamoshida rapping in Q2s opening was the best part of any Persona opening ever
I'm genuinely saddened you tackled every single opening except for my favorite one, P2 EP PSP :(
Great video though really enjoyable
i didnt even play og persona3 but burn my dread actually gave me chills
Pursuing my true self is top 3 and i will die on this hill. It fits P4 so much.
I think you forgot Eternal Punishment PSP
P3 Dancing was ROBBED

Tactica opening visual and song really shows the fatigue. Lyn herself doesn't sound as much into it. By this point she did way too many spin-offs.
Tactica opening isn’t good especially by personas standards the song is so boring
Idk I agree with him. Tactica song was fine at the beginning, but then immediately fell off. While Royal's animation kinda sucked for the most part.

Where's emternial punishment for PSP?
The p3 bias and p4 slander is killing me lol no one in the world can tell me they seriously think p3 or p3 fes tops p4 - i will never understand it
