What I like about Maya is that she's genuinely nice. Most female characters in games are only given indirect traits that say that they're nice (such as shyness or healing ability), but actual kindness is rare. Maya still loves her little siblings, no matter what they do.
Maya sounds very real and well written, her character legit sounds like a real human, she is flawed, she acts pisitive to hide stuff, tries to look cheerful infront of the young ones, despite being an adult she is still young and can be carefree, hence why she has a messy room.
"Guys, don't leave me alone, please don't, I don't want to forget, guys noooooo!" I know that is cruel to laugh about one of the saddest parts of the Persona series but that Tatsuya Voice Acting it's to bad that it's too fucking funny
i didn't see any of the other voice acting in eternal punishment , to be funny that goofy special child way .......... besides tatsuya voice acting. " am gone !@#*&* your !#^%@& and !&@%& your !@^%& and !&@%#&^ it "-staker "yah well , am ^%^&$^ bash your ^%$#^^&&$#%%^%$ in"-ulala
+tmoe380 I don't know much about Maya yet, but her name made me realize that it was always the name I loved the most. It is a name I associate with deep spirituality and compassion for Nature.
For those who don't know Persona 2, that last theme feels like something they'd play at a funeral, which gets depressing. Persona 3 is what set the series in motion but before that there was the hilarious, emotional wild world of Persona 2.
Re-drawn character design by Masayuki Doi for Eternal Punishment (PSP version). Let him be character designer on Persona 6 and beyond! Soejima will be busy with works from Studio Zero from now on. He is something between Kaneko and Soejima. Fits Persona.
Some of his designs for SMT IV Apolcalypse and SMT Strange Journey Redux though....eeeeh. The Persona Team at Atlus has an art unit of 3 people (maybe more now) who support Soejima's work and have made tons of pieces that most fans usually think are Soejima's. I think they deserve a good shot at Persona 6 and beyond if Soejima really does lessen his Persona involvement. Maybe they'd be able to show off their individual styles too w/that opportunity. (don't get me wrong though, Doi is pretty great too, but I think he'll probably stick with SMT games)
Sune The reason his designs were meh in recent SMT games are because he was under heavy control from the higher-ups. He isn't as respected as Kaneko was, so he doesn't have as much say as Kaneko did, in regards to what the designs will be. If you look up scraped Apocalypse designs, there are many great designs. Hell, Nanashi was supposed to be a fucking dad. I just hope that he gets more respect in the future, and will be able to do whatever he wants, just like Kaneko and Soejima did. There is really a lot of potential in him.
The seven Pleiades set the frozen time free Wild dance, shadowed festival, foreign song ensue As flames of expiation light the heavens The lion's roar echoes far and wide Five skulls glow in the depths of the earth The holy cross shines high up in the sky Once the star comes to a complete halt The _Maia Maiden's_ heart stops with it What then remains is paradise on earth Marking the end and a new beginning
Tbh maya might be the best made female character in persona. As much as I love Rise and Aigis for example. P2 characters are so well made that I can’t help but love them and admit they’re the best. Maya is just someone who is really slept on and if she wasn’t so good then Lisa probably would’ve got some more attention too lol Also 20:37 🔥🔥🔥🔥
P1 and 2 are very different from P3 and P4... they're more in line with the original shin megami tensei series, when you know, you gotta talk the demons into join you and trade tarot cards in the velvet room in exchange for powerful demons, no social links. They're not for everyone, but if you enjoy the part of negotiating with demons you're gonna love them, nonetheless both games have an incredible story and remarkable characters on par with P3 and P4.
+AlXV And they're also harder I think, P1 i just began so I don't know but P2 IS final boss was horrible,and i'm at Sumaru Castle in EP, farming for special personas before continuing, and all along, bosses were a pain in the a** >_
P1 is kinda hard if you don't the Personas well. Otherwise, it's pretty easy, since some of the early Personas are so broken that you will probably have them at the end of the game.
WOW! This music is great! Was this PS1?! It sounds like a complex SNES theme! I love it!! WOOOOW! THE REMAKE IS EVEN BETTER!! I was worried they'd ruin it with modern instruments since the original was already so perfect!! I can't wait until the next song so I can hear how much they improved it EVEN MORE!! ... oh. it's all sad. ... _oh._
I didn't notice any of that, but that reminded me of this other Persona 2 song that I love which does do that. "Unbreakable Ties" around half way. Really cool.
Cuz I'm a scrub I don't really know why I can't seem to find a way to reply properly. But Maya's theme is a soundtrack you can request from Fuuka to play in P3, she doesn't actually appear P3 outside of a mention on the TV.
Maya is the full package of a female character because of how realistically she's written. She has the cheeriness of Chie in P4, the seriousness of Mitsuru in P3 when the situation calls for it, and the diligence of Makoto in P5 in terms of her journalist work.
There's also a reference to Maya (and Tatsuya) in the social link on the online game "Innocent Sin Online" in Persona 3. But it's only a reference, not really her.
I've actually been subscribed to your channel for a while now and all the effort you put into your work just blows me away. I just want to say you're awesome for what you're doing.
I love and hate this game so much. I love it because of how amazing it is in every way, I hate it because that ending fucking destroyed me, almost as bad as Persona 3s. What is it with old Persona games and depressing endings?
Oh and let me clarify, this games ending was waaay sadder than Persona 3s. It just didn’t affect me as much because I’ve sort of become desensitized to sad endings lol
Persona 1 had a good ending. Also Persona 2 ends in a sort of happy way? bitter yet sweet in Eternal Punishment. Its theme was moving on instead of dwelling too much in a troubled past.
Kitajoh-san is not a Persona mainline composer. Konishi composed his first Persona title, Persona 5, along with Meguro. If Konishi gets freedom he will compose more rock themes because that is his DNA since he joined Atlus. He did additional themes for PSP versions of Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment. They are quest battle, additional battle and additional boss battle. The one who did original Maya theme and battle theme was Kenichi Tsuchiya. He is the synth person at Atlus. You recognize his battle themes in SMTIV. Kind of old school among composers from Atlus Sound Team. I assume Meguro will be very busy with works from Studio Zero that he leaves everything to Konishi now. Masayuki Doi will probably do works for Persona now that Soejima has Project Re Fantasy. It's good for Persona to see a change. Kazuhisa Wada is also now chief director on Persona series. Doi and Wada have worked together before on SMT III Nocturne and Trauma Center series on Wii.
What I like about Maya is that she's genuinely nice. Most female characters in games are only given indirect traits that say that they're nice (such as shyness or healing ability), but actual kindness is rare. Maya still loves her little siblings, no matter what they do.
I think she is one of the most well written female protagonist in video game series.

funny how older atlus games had actual strong female characters instead of character tropes disguised as waifus like they do now
agree with this whole thread. I miss female characters like Maya
My favorite part of innocent sin was when maya would say its whoop ass time when going into battle
She does in Eternal Punishment as well, but the English voicework for the English version of EP was mediocre at best and "so bad it's funny" at worst.
***** "I shall show you the difference in skill!" from Nate makes me laugh every time I hear it.

you spitting fact right here the other song are nothing compare to this one
Her theme is most arranged persona 2 ost I think and all versions are great
Because they peaked with Maya's Theme. They knew they could never top Best Girl's theme, so why even try?

Maya's sad theme music reminds too much of PMD games...
Awesome Persona Series: Maya's Theme Compilation Video.
I'm surprised it took awhile for me to realize that Maya's theme was her and her theme. And I even looked at the shin megami tensei wiki too.
Forgot about Maya's ring tone that's literally her theme aswell idk if there are 2 versions of it or 4
original is forever the best
I think the PSP remix is pretty fine too.
it is more than fine. its amazing
@galuh ismi no, Kitajoh remix best
All of them are equally the best
