If I could relive the experience of any game I've ever played it would be Persona 2 Eternal Punishment. I was going through a rough time in my life and this game was what helped me understand myself a bit more and find hope in my seemingly hopeless situation. Long story short this game changed me.
This is the exact thing happening to me right now. I don’t even know what drew me to persona 2 but I beat innocent sin in 3 days, and now 20 hours into eternal punishment. It also helps that I’m currently about to finish my 2nd year at university.
@@user-wu8qc9bb3e I took a long break while playing eternal punishment. Which is funny cuz I’m taking a year off school 💀. Hopefully I’ll find time to finish it soon, and I hope your school year is going good
This ringing in the background as the two Shax appeared and the two Minotaurs dropped from the sky in the fight vs. Tatsuya Sudou. No doubt one of the best moments of the early game.
While I love the Persona 2 Duology, The EP crew is my fave of the two groups in both games. But my fave party member in IS is a certain make up wearing badass with a machine gun guitar case.
Metal Jun: It's okay you can stop suffering Tatusya: I'll accept my punishment, but not now I fucking love the voice acting in the original PS1 version because it's cheesy but I will always love the PS1 version of Persona 2 Eternal Punishment because it was the version I played for the first time
Although Innocent Sin had a very solid cast with a cool backstory uniting them, I feel Eternal Punishment had the more colorful and interesting cast of the two. Almost everyone in IS is a high school student. The folks in EP are a weird bunch.
@@makotoyuki345 Well that's the point though, they're a cast of random people who have the same goal. The only 2 who know each other is Maya and Ulala. Compared to IS where even before they remembered each party member had some history with another party member. I think it says more they act like a team at the end. I also find it rich coming from you with that name and profile considering the A.I mechanic is designed around them not having chemistry.
@@breloompauncher5593 I knew they had chemistry but I think I meant to say that I wish they went a bit more in with the whole “stranger-like” dynamic everyone had (basically more 1-on-1 interactions between each other, and specifically the pairs that don’t interact as much) Plus yes the AI thing was bad in execution but the idea itself was smart if you ask me
@@makotoyuki345 I think was a result of the limitations at the time, that being the protagonist needed to be on screen at almost all times. If IS and EP were remade today we'd probably get scenes like that cause 5 has them and I think they're some of the best spots for character development. I feel the idea is good as well. Even with the A.I commands, taking control away from the player sometimes makes battles feel even more like an auto battler than 2 or even luck based. If they wanted to push the idea they probably could have played more with the fact some of your teammates were M.I.A depending on the day, Which I think says more.
@@breloompauncher5593 true, it was their first 3D persona so the limited A.I is understandable But yeah I wholly agree. Hopefully if we get, not even a remake but a 3rd reiteration of P3 tweaking the A.I and general party member habits being touched up would be nice, for example: Yukari over the game becomes more and more of a “mage” focusing on AoE (obviously avoiding AoE if she knows at least one enemy currently in the battle absorbs or reflects wind) Junpei tries to 1-up [MC_Name] in the beginning and later backs him up instead Akihiko targets enemies the others aren’t (obviously ones weak to zio or physical get priority) Koromaru tries to set up all-out attacks if he currently can Maybe with the M.I.A/explore habit thing it could be that: Yukari does come during the exam periods but she tries to get out of it (basically [MC_Name] begging her to come, with like 3 prompts before she agrees) Akihiko goes every single day he can (of course not counting sick days or story stuff) You get the picture
This game is the reason why i don't actually like much of the JRPG's available. This is my first JRPG, so i had the notion that a JRPG should have an adult storyline with adult characters. Only to find out later that most JRPG's are mostly "teenagers saving the world". Later in life though i came to accept that P2:EP is just the only kind of gem it is. I still played some JRPG's later but nothing was able to fill the hole that this game left in me.
@water bottle youre lucky youre one of the few that liked P2's battle system. Persona 2's battle system was so clunky and slow. Hell, id take P1's any day, at least that auto battle in P1 was faster than P2's
@@luqhakim5711 you have a point like every time I got a demon encounter,it have to be slow to load. I do like the graphic of Persona 2 more than on Persona 1... I love the demon sprites so much
When I first heard this in the first boss fight, it was not only fitting but the boss itself was equally as intense. i was not prepared for that. Well done Atlus.
Damn im sad took me awhile but i finally beat the game was pretty tough wouldn't have beat it without a guide for sure. Very special shame the people who created it neglect it
The original writer/creator of persona left after P2 EP was finished. I believe Atlus wants to respect the original creator's work. And for the neglecting part, Atlus has been adding little easter eggs of P1 and 2 to 3 - 5, they are kinda acknowledging the existence of P1 and P2. But the only thing bothering me is that EP for the PSP is not in the west which is sad, I have been waiting for the Fan made translation patch for years now😢😢
@@keobutbutt i hear that it ik its illegal to bring up persona 5 in this fandom but i did like how they took alot lf things from duology like negotiations and pre determined dungeons
My friends had me rate the persona themes (me having only played P5 and P1, on innocent sin right now) I have a ranking like schooling (A B C D F) with a perfect rank getting an S. Not even my own personal favorite songs that I'd blast on repeat get S rank. Ever. Most songs get B or C. (Persona 5 getting an A) This is the only theme that got an S rank from me and all my friends lost their minds XD
Tony Mckel And Innocent Sin's battle theme is a remixed Persona Revelations Battle Theme. You can tell because the structure and melodies of both are extremely similar, only difference is that Persona 1 has a couple of parts that weren't replicated, They weren't far off of the mark
Late to the party, but there actually is a remix of the P1 boss theme in the PSP version of Eternal Punishment. It plays during a boss fight against Kandori in Tatsuya's Scenario.
