    In this video, I take a dive into Persona game prototypes. Megami Ibunroku Persona, Persona 2, and Persona 3 are the only Persona games to have publicly available prototypes at the moment. The Persona 2 Innocent Sin Demo is also covered here. Prototypes for Persona 4 and Persona 5 have not been discovered yet. If Persona 4 and Persona 5 prototypes or betas are found at some point, I will consider making a part two. Please note that all prototypes covered in this video are almost finished builds of P1, P2EP, and P3. The games are fully playable and you can complete them the same way you'd normally play Persona 1, Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, and Persona 3 if you so choose to. Also note these are all prototypes of the original versions. For Persona 1 and 2, they are the PS1 versions (not the PSP versions). For Persona 3, it is the vanilla PS2 version (not Persona 3 FES or Persona 3 Portable). Lastly, I would like to note that this video DOES NOT cover the very early Persona 3 Beta with massively different gameplay as there is no public dump of that beta. All that being said, I hope you enjoy my unearthing of the Persona Prototypes.

    Honestly the idea of starting a new Persona game normally for the first few days then suddenly being prompted with a difficulty select sounds really awesome.
    I realize P5 sort of does this with its en medias res intro, but playing the first week of a Persona game with just its social elements then suddenly being thrown into the crazy RPG stuff sounds really cool to me lol

    interesting, could you do one on smt? I emulated Strange journey, the og, and redux and played with some of the cheats. I used the wall through walls to skip some parts and discovered in sector Eridanus on the third floor just beyond the elevator to the boss, I discovered an option to change your alignment by answering some questions. I am not a programmer or proficient in computing, it was just some things I stumbled upon. It worked in both versions. Sorry had to make a correction.

    The "Read!" turning yellow I would assume indicates whenever stored data is being read. If it is just related to the battle or the game as a whole, I am unsure. I assume it is just for battling.
    Typically, especially for video games, you want to minimize the number of reads and writes for data as possible. Today, especially with the advent of SSDs replacing HDDs in hardware as time goes on and HDDs being a lot more efficient, making this as optimal as possible can be seen as less of a priority, except when dealing with 3D objects and algorithms revolving around texturing.

    Here's a weird question:
    Do you think the anime Moon Phase had any influences on Persona 3? I'm asking cause it feels like there was a tone shift on Persona 3 around that time, and it wouldn't be the first time Atlus was influenced by stuff.

    Could you also try to get your hands on some unfinished Social Links (I don't mean you haven't finished them, I meant the Social Link being unfinished in the game and scrapped during development) for the male party member Social Link. What Yuriofwind talked about in his video on the development of Persona 3 is you were supposed to have a choice on if you want to play as either a male protagonist or a female protagonist. If you're wondering why that sounds like Persona 3 Portable, that's because it was actually an idea they had for the original game, which they ended up scrapping and going with the male protagonist due to time constraints, but it was finally implemented into the PSP version and updated with the female main character being given a slight redesign. There's evidence that how the female route was originally supposed to go back then is in terms of party member Social Links, it was the other way around where if you were to play as her, you would never at any point get to form Social Links with the female party members, only with the male party members, much like with the male protagonist in the final game. And in The Cutting Room Floor's page about Persona 3, over at the unused Social Links section, there's the Social Link status portraits of the rest of the party members each having a portrait for their Social Links either at a normal state or a reversed/broken state that are still in the game's files, and this part even points out that you were supposed to choose between a male protagonist for a female protagonist, but was cut due to time constraints. So, if you've ever wondered why you can't form Social Links with the male party members in FES when you should've, now you know and yes, even I think this is stupid as both protagonists should form Social Links with all their party members regardless. I wonder if there's any leftover data for this scrapped female route in the original game that you could find in the prototype?

    Idk I feel like you are a lil wrong in that prototypes aren't interesting. I mean... Look at the most sought after demo in the Pokemon community, the Spaceworld Gold/Silver demo. And that demo shows how the game took a 180 from the original concept when it changed directors as well as unreleased designs we theorize that made it into spiritual successors or somewhat remained into the final game. You never really know what you find and channels like oddheader also prove that easter eggs also reside in finished games or demos too.
