Persona 3 FES - The Answer - Entire Story 1080p Widescreen 

I'd imagine he would be able to afford a cellphone and call his friends on it, since they know his number.

"That was a good nap."

@@jet4212006 he did sleep for a few days before lol

He came back just to dance in the moonlight 🗿

Honestly, I'm glad it's not there. I played the Answer after 100%ing the base game and if it WAS there, I'd feel obligated to fuse every Persona for the sake of completion.

@@AnaverdGaiden It should've just carried over your progress and not let you fuse personas that are higher level than your answer level. It wouldn't be that complicated.

@@Mystic_WWThat would be nice if the Answer only unlocked after you beat the Journey, but it was designed to be playable on a fresh save file. They were trying to be considerate towards the people who beat Persona 3 before FES came out and didn't want to force them to play the entire game again just to play the Answer. If they did do it the way you recommend while also allowing you to start the Answer before playing the Journey, then it would also cause the issue of making it pointless to play the Answer without playing the Journey due to how much of an advantage your carried over progress would give you.

@@AnaverdGaiden a lot of other games know how to let you play them modularly without giving you trouble. Deltarune, for example. Your chapter 1 savefile isn't in? You can just play chapter 2 straight up. You'll miss some allusions to your previous progress, but you won't have to play through all of it again. They could've just allowed you to start the answer without a savefile, or carried your savefile over into the answer. It wouldn't make playing the answer by itself "pointless", that's preposterous.

​@@Mystic_WW You're comparing a 75+ hour game to a game that's only a few hours long, though. Deltarune isn't really a comparable situation. If you can carry your save file over into the Answer, that's dozens of hours of progress you're carrying over into the compendium, which makes everything completely unbalanced. Then balancing the encounters and boss fights becomes a shit show because the developers don't know if they should base them around having godly Personas with perfect skillsets that you get from the main game or crappy Personas from a fresh save file. Imagine starting a Persona game with the DLC Personas you can buy in P5 that start as total gods, THAT'S what it would be like if the Answer had options to both carry over progress or start from scratch. Just total anarchy.

what da dog doing

Koromaru is a good boy there’s no pain to reflect on here

The dog is complete. He is a pure being.

Arf "Koro-san says you should all just give me your keys." Arf??? "Koro-san also says Yukari, you should chill the eff out." grrrrr ARF ARF "Yes Koro-san, I agree. He's mine and mine alone!" ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF GRRRRRRRR ARF ARF ARF! "Say no more Koro. You are absolutely right."

he standing on business who takes him walkies now

could've really fit in well with the other 4 p3 movies

I agree

THAT'S WHAT I SAY I dropped the game and came here to see the story and omg what a great decision

Agreed

Let's hope the improvements Reload made to the gameplay come in here, especially with the compendium. And hopefully they fully animate Yukari's breakdown, because this is supposed to be a key moment in this expansion. And I think it'd get the point across much better if it became a full on anime cutscene of her tears of heartbreak, and Mitsuru hugging her and calming her down, along with special dialogue if you romance her. Like her tearfully screaming "I love him so much!"@@soularswing3763

- Phantom Thieves 6 years later (in game timeline): "Mission Accepted"

Honestly I was thinking about that when she said that. And with Persona 4 having Yu Awaken to his power with "Thou art the one who opens The Door" in a voice that did not sound like anything or anyone else other than Philemon, I feel like through the power of the Shadow Ops., the Investigation Team, and the Phantom Thieves, we have the elements to save Door-kun

​@@ShursGardenthat could be the main storyline in Persona 6 can be. Or we can have new MC and new team and together fighting along side the old team to save Makoto.

Reform society succeed temporarily then another Persona game comes along about...reforming society? Huh wait a minute that's basically all of persona and Shin Megami right? Atlus: Shhhhh be quiet we are the real God who controls their fates

​@@junmasaki9728I doubt it. That seems like way too many characters to handle and I'd imagine a lot of people would be upset if the managed to bring back Makoto. They'd feel like it'd undermine P3 ending's impact.

i swear nobody gives a damn about koromaru in the answer lmao poor dog just wanted to have a good sleep that day 😂

garate...

@@markasscop …

ten minutes in, already wasted

Elgr...

Anime in general.

Yep the answer is too hard

Lmao third dungeon I stopped myself

Ehh I wouldn’t say hard but extremely tedious

Trueeeee

I made it too the 2nd last door. I just couldn't do it anymore. It was too frustrating. Like, it didn't feel like a challenge most of the time, it was just cheap.

Ironically in PQ2 he does have a quest with them along with a unison attack

Junpei sometime after Ikutsuki’s betrayal: “I’m never going to trust another adult again.”

Plot twist: Ken actually became the second generation Detective Prince: Akechi Goro.

Mourning fucking sucks. Especially if your mom never showed you how to grieve in a healthy way, which Yukari's didn't.

I loved her she’s a pretty realistic teenager tbh

@@Xxsorafan My fav p3 character

At the start it looked like she had moved past losing the MC; but all this time she was stuck in the first stage of grief (denial). No wonder she was a mess; she had to go through anger, bargaining and depression in record time.

Years of saying this and finally I'm seeing others realize it.

Thanks, i needed that 👍

Yeah i would do it if it was for any other Persona game but The Answer isnt worth

I'm so sorry that you had to play Portable... that version is like watching Star Wars at 240p in black and white with Russian dubbing and the special edition additions.

​@@AnaverdGaidentbf at least the combat is decent unlike the trash that is FES, shame about the cutscenes though

@@UseMePatra The combat isn't ideal in FES due to the lack of party member control, but it is by no means "trash". The game is easy on Normal, the AI control only becomes a problem on Hard. It's not worth the multitude of concessions you have to make in Portable compared to FES. It's fine as a 2nd way to play the game after you've already beaten FES, but if it's the only version of Persona 3 you've played then you're genuinely missing a majority of the experience of P3.

welcum,TOSCEINTOGLOYBLAAAAAAAAAAAAR

@@AnaverdGaidenidk i played portable for the akihiko romance route

Me with a ad blocker I don't have such weaknesses

This is an issue with the fact it’s in widescreen here. On an original PS2, Persona 3 FES would always run in 4:3 aspect ratio so if it’s forced to run in 16:9 wide screen some cracks show, like text being improperly spanned or here, where those girls are supposed to run off screen; but since more of the scene is shown in widescreen you can just see them running up against the void

@@lucymorrison Thats very helpful info. Thanks!

I think i noticed it in Akihiko's memory too when his fangirls were supposed to run off screen@@lucymorrison

I agree. Biggest upgrade

Yeah new voice actor is better

Hey it's a pain in the ass to emulate alr

The Answer is only 20 hours long, though, so it'a not like it takes very long to beat it.

I tried desperately to emulate it and got stuck doing that. After watching this I love the story, only wish i could've seen it properly.

@@stovebot4280 That sucks that it doesn't work on your PC. If you have a PS3, Persona 3 FES was one of the games added to the online store for really cheap.

@@AnaverdGaiden Its not because its 20 hours long, the answer is just a pain to play

@@jackowish3440 It's kind of a pain, but it's not THAT bad. It's mostly just that the bosses have too much HP and obnoxious skill sets. If Persona is typically of masterpiece quality, then the Answer is just "decent".

Yup, that is why I came to RU-vid even though I own P3FES.

For Persona 5R, they did it well for the 3rd semester story.

Accurate depiction of the team without makoto

THIS. I mean, i would understand they could "forget" their abilities if we were talking about, i don't know, 5 o 6 months. But The Answer is not even a month after the original ending, and just two months after they used their personas against Nyx 🥶

yeah having to grind p3 the re grind the awsner i tapped out almost immediately

Kinda funny tho, hahahaha.

For a story mode named "THE ANSWER" it certainly didn't give u what u wanted 🤣

Since elementary????

​@@astupidphaseI meannnn, kids had played m rated games before, so I wasnt surprised

Yeah, there's a leak said that the answer is gonna be a DLC for reload, just so you know

Hope in colloseo purgatorio fight in reload will have more Megidolaon and using their Theurgy.

​@@deanxileI was actually talking about how the dlc could be the answer. Guess I might be right

Meeee

@@atlusjoestar3839 You're right. The DLC is The Answer

Thanks for the feedback, I plan on redoing this soon to get rid of all the slowdowns, I'll be sure to include those bits next time

​@@TheFyrestar8 yrs ago

​@@TheFyrestar bruh

exactly you miss out on small details by not actually playing you don't really know whats happening

It has already been leaked, it is coming

Seeing a lot of the comments saying the actual gameplay part of the answer is annoying to play through, I am excited to see improvements to it so we can all enjoy the definitive version.

I really liked the concept of the difference of opinions and fighting each other I just hope that they made it less forceful, that would be amazing

​@@babaci9767 it's so grindy (relatively), like no compendium, long checkpoint, it demands a lot of grinding. It's reaching SMT level of grinding

​@@anakpinguin3942yeah the fact that Junpei, Koromaru, Ken, Akihiko and Mitsuru all agreed to move on but had to divide themselves for the most irrational reasons was a drag, the rest of it is good, even if you just want to punch the hell out of Yukari, you understand her position, i just hope that if they remake The Answer they make Yukari a less of a prick she was for no reason whatsoever I mean, i get she wants to see P3MC but she just couldn't careless if she acted like a douchebag unwarranted most of the times

Nah it doesn't work like that Apathy syndrome is not caused by distorted desires, it's the lack of will to live and only subconsciously yearn for death disregarding other traits, but to erase that subconscious yearning, is to not live at all (metaphorically) as it is required in the human psyche to think and be conscious. There's an official p3 lore book that goes in depth.

@@shaunfrost720 i am not giving an analogy here, I am just saying its the phantom thieves job to reform society.

The phantom thieves couldn’t either

​@@shaunfrost720that's literally what the Phantom Thieves fight against, did you missed the whole point of Yaldabaoth and the Holy Grail? The fact someone else takes over your life so you don't have to deal with life's hardships is part of the problem The Fog and the Midnight Channel are also part of the problem by giving people what they want, therefore, losing reason to find themselves and the will to live, it's literally the main focus of P4 and P5 How does Persona fans miss something so obvious THAT easily?

@@etherealhatred pls read the p3 club lore book and how the persona universe works, and yes that includes the p1 - p2 lore book. You clearly don't know what you are saying, you haven't consumed the supplementary content.

But yukari dont wanna accept that

What I find funny is that Mitsuru only says she supports Yukari because Yukari supported her in the past, so it's basically just Yukari versus the rest of the team. Only that would make for a very lame boss battle, so they split everyone into groups instead xD

It would be interesting to see what happens if we could save Makoto, cause there could be different possibilities. Worst case, everyone dies

@@CathyAnimations I never thought about it until later, but the real answer to that scenario could have been gotten over with sooner, by going to the very moment the MC gave his life and powers to protect the world from something. Yukari was so selfish on saving the MC, she never thought about that. Being honest, the group focus was on trying to either to move on with the present or take a chance on the past. But the answer was in their faces if it weren't for that argument. MC gave his life to protect them, but from what?

@leon4000 well, from the journey it was basically from the world collapsing on itself because of Nyx, the God wanting the world to perish

They can just make something like what happened with P1 And 2. I mean like, remaking the series. P1 and p2 are connected but they aren't that really connected with p3 to 5. But p3 and p4 are connected and prob p5 Is connected too. So they can end everything with a persona 6 or 7 and keep the series.

😂😂😂

Best part, no?

I beat it today

That one cutscene though...that scared the living hell outa me

@@CathyAnimationswhich one

@@cashtwonine The one where Makoto is shown decomposing. I personally want them to keep this gore in Reload as well but I highly doubt they would keep it

He's voiced by the same guy yuri lowenthal he voices a number of other video game characters like ps4 spider-man

it should be, also you would hate the inability to control your othet party members, so maybe dont

There isn’t that much to know to be honest. The mc (or femc) soul is kept as a lock to keep nyx at bay and Elizabeth (or Theodore) left the velvet room to find a way to release their soul. You learn this in p4A I believe, one of the fighting games. Way better than the answer and it’s grindfest

You did miss out on all of the FES cutscenes, since Portable is just a visual novel. So it's like you only saw half of every scene.

For me personally I'm good with the base game, this epilogue feels so unnecessary even for the og game. The only thing im pissed off is the FeMC missing tho

@@doomslayer8985same, i wouldn’t have minded if they left out the answer dlc thats coming out. Apparently it was never even very popular with japanese audiences anyway, whereas femc is popular in the west and in japan. I cant fathom atlus’s decisions.

September.

The Answer will be released as a DLC on September

i’ve romanced akihiko & done the hot spring scene in P3P & i don’t wanna touch the game anymore… i don’t want femc to die… she shall forever be happy with akihiko on that save file

Akihiko sounding a bit odd

Did you play it on Normal or Hard? On Normal it's pretty easy, but Hard is freaking brutal in the Journey. Also, look foward to Persona 1 and 2, those games are awesome!

@@AnaverdGaiden I finished the Journey on hard going full blind right after finishing 4. I almost dropped it a few times because of the difficulty spikes, I am so glad that I didn't. Its the best Persona game for me now. I'm not so sure about P1 as It's looking a bit too outdated for me. I will start Innocent Sin playthrough on my vita sooner or later though.

​@@GracefulPelmeni Yeah, it probably would have been better to play 3 on Normal instead. The lack of party member control makes Hard tougher than any other game in the series, especially with how they never use AOE healing spells unless everyone is missing a bunch of HP. I agree, it's my favorite Person game as well! Don't go in with that mindset, "outdated" is just a term people use when they don't want to adjust to something that's not modern, even if it's good. Persona 1 has a better cast and story than Persona 5 does, and the music is phenomenal. Just make sure to play the PS1 version, the PSP version changed the whole OST and is overall a cheap port and a worse experience. The negotiations system in 1 and 2 is also leagues better than how it is in 5. I really hope Persona 6 takes from how it is in those games than 5's copy pasting of mainline SMT negotiations.

Sorry but this is the definition of skill issue....

YOU NEVER SEE IT COMING!!!

Portable is garbage though, what?

@@AnaverdGaidenur gabage

@@Shosholegbt Have you ever played FES, though? I just 100%ed Portable this year, and it is absolutely horrendous compared to FES. There's not one thing is does better, basically everything is worse.

How did I not fuckin notice that

So to help you. You remember when they said everybody would forget everything while the world would end. So when Makoto sealed nyx inside himself he took the end with him. That's how he died. You could hear everyone saying he wasn't feeling good. He took nyx with him so everyone could have peace. That's from my understanding. If there is a different explanation then hey maybe it's better than mine

he turned his soul into the great seal separating Nyx from Erebus, and only had about enough life left to keep his promise with the rest of SEES

@zaqareemalcolm thank you for explaining it better than I did.

​@@atlusjoestar3839He didn't seal Nyx inside himself... He just acted as a barrier that keeps Nyx from being touched by those who wish for death.

Thiiiiissss issss Definitelyyyy not theee frooonttt oofff theeee dorm. 😂

Who cares? I'd rather they focus on polishing up the actual game that matters.

apparently there is some code left in p3re that implies that the answer is gonna be dlc

​​@@AnaverdGaidenthis is that you moron

Hey, I'm from the future. Persona 3 Reload is getting it as DLC in September 2024.
