It even fits with the achievement for unlocking the good ending The achievement is called "From Shadows Into Light" The original main menu was covered in shadow with our cast there but after this ending, light shines into the classroom, erasing that shadow From Shadows Into Light......
@@theimpersonator7086 yep, was looking for that saying “big shoes to fill” was at the tip of my tounge, but anyways its the best to describe them, kinda like kevin’s mario in a way
P3 might be the last biggest "stakes" Persona games so far. Like it's not a town of P4 or a country in P5 it's the entire human race and 1 guy (who wasn't really fond of the world or lived happy up to the starting point, mind you) taking the entire blow alone. And nobody even knows or remembers that. The DLC also only allows the main cast to remember him and ensures that it meant something. Damn i love this game
I loved how, despite the last hours of the game being emotional and pretty serious, Tanaka managed to troll in every single of his lines. "Someone's gonna have to pay big for this one" and "What on earth made me think of you at a time like this" are just perfect
The title screen after. It killed me. The cherry blossoms 🌸 and the way his armband and evoked were left behind just like how he was (not being able to grow up and have a life) Also the music was sad and THEN the 4 notes from Memories of you started playing and I started crying all over again 😭🩵🌸
It's hurtful that MC made all sorts of empty "promises" on 3/4, The old couple will lose another son-like figure, Chihiro won't ever get a chance to walk home with him again, He'll be long gone when Bebe visits, Mamoru will never race him again, Fuuka was so happy to have an extra tech club member, Mitsuru/Yukari making plans for him to meet their families, and Aigis finally finding a reason to live, only to have it taken from her in a matter of days... so on so forth I know too well how important a proper goodbye is, and I feel like his friends deserved that after all they've been through, like... at least give us the option to leave a will/final message with Aigis man.
Hm, so true. This is what makes so curious and really wish that we could’ve seen how all the Other Social Links ended up handling the Aftermath of the Main Ending. Like some kind of send-off to them during The Answer or something, I feel like they deserve to get some attention to regarding how they ended up handling the Lose.
That is a case, including the part he immediately did died next day and he never made it that far into the month but at the same time imo "The Answer" and Ultimax flat out ruined a lot of things and created a plot hole. I don't know how they're going to do the Answer with Ultimax completely taking the story here and flipping upside down.
@@Unexpectedstuff spoilers The answer literally reverses character development of certain characters completely. It was done very poorly and not received well. Furthermore it adds plot holes for a story that didn't needed to be addressed further. Dungeon crawler fest with bits of story that don't add too much to the story. Yukari...yukari how do you turn on trusted comrades that fought death with you. She should be well understood what her trusted comrades and main character sacrifice at this point but nope she takes up a notch. She even becomes jealous at certain points of certain "character" it just becomes petty. I do dislike what they did here to characters because it basically throws good character development into the dumpster. The gameplay problems can be fixed in a modern day dlc imo and the answer does have good music. However my fault with Ultimax with Elizabeth story, where she mentioned she is trying to save mc and so on. Esp This brings up a lot of problems from the answer. There should be a big issue that the seal could and can be broken making his sacrifice for naught. Now I'm not sure how she is going to pull this off but it would be a very very hard task to figure out a way to deal with nyx without his seal there to protect humanity. If her journey is just beginning I feel this imo should have ended with Persona 3 ending and story concluded. Atlus keep bringing up a scenario where he could be saved or free kinda defeats point of persona 3 but in many cases it does bring hope. Altus would make a fortune with the rebirth of P3 looking like Messiah or Jesus if they did continue to touch on Elizabeth's journey. Pretty sure no one would turn down such a game if they did.
@@TehReasoningi never took Arenas games and the rest has main continuations Everyone interacting just feels weird especially in Q games(same age and all) Arena alteast Bother aging P3 cast and mentioning both stories (p3 p4) but is still strange to me why they arenr treated has unique stories P3 P4 P5 event happening all in the same universe is weird(im aware of the easters eggs in P5 related it 3 and 4 cast)
@@TehReasoningI wouldn't say Yukari was being petty Yea, she was being a massive bitch to everyone but she just wanted to bring her friend back, everyone else wanted too as well but they knew if they did, his sacrifice would have been for nothing but Yukari didn't want to accept that so I kinda understand her for that, especially since none of them got to say goodbye to him because he just died, it wasn't slow or quick, there was no signs, he just died instantly so no one got to say goodbye and I know how that feels, I never got to say goodbye to my nan when she past away from cancer or say goodbye to one of my dads dogs because she had to be put down because she was too old to be operated on for a issue she had Turning on her friends was stupid and like I mentioned, she was a massive bitch in The Answer but I wouldn't say she was petty, she just wanted her friend back but she does come around at the end Elizabeth could be easily answered cuz she is cononically the most powerful Velvet Room Attendant with only being beaten by Makoto so she could potentially get the Universe Arcana to switch places with him so Elizabeth becomes the Seal and Makoto gets his life back but I doubt we will get a continuation of Elizabeths story I feel like the Remake of The Answer should be, instead of It being "Should be bring him back or let him rest" with infighting but should be about grief, how everyone coped with his death with maybe Yukari's coping mechanism being like "There must be some way of bringing him back" or something, only in the end for her to accept there isn't away and instead of fighting for a way, she helps others get over their grief and help them smile and just remember him for all the memories he left with them but that's how I think it should be done
It's a little thing, but I don't like how in the new cutscene for the protagonist flying up to Nyx he keeps his evoker. I always thought it was neat that he dropped it; he didn't need a Persona to face life's hardships anymore since he'd already come to the end of his life.
@@Gael-xp4fk Same actually lmao, I thought the original scene was perfect and to the point. The new one is a bit too wordy for my liking. They also retranslated some Nyx's lines during the fight too which I wasn't a fan of.
I am so glad they Kept The Ending the same and not change anything about it. This Ending was Already Perfect, But now It's even Better! Legit Cried Even tho I knew Minato wasn't gonna Wake up.
I was fine for the entire game until Aigis began crying. That's when I remembered why I loved this game so much back in the day. Even +10 years later, this masterpiece still hits hard...
I finished this game last night and fucking hell, I cried so much, its such a bitter sweet ending Yea, we saved the world but the cost was our life but it is worth it, as long as my friends are alive and life goes on This is probably the most depressive good ending in a game I played but I wouldn't change it at all Im exicted for when Episode Aigis to drop in the near future
@@wolfiethefurrygamer1908 some time my bad. It is said to be released in few months or approx this year. A leaker have leaked future dlc and aigis ep was incluse in it.
@@wolfiethefurrygamer1908 im crying and forced ng+ to fully have the trophies and use the VA even tho i am not used to their new voices...and replaying this game is..... Heart breaking.... MAKOTO 😭😭😭
Just finished the game tonight, cried back then on my ps2 and crying now. What a beautiful game, I will definitely cherish this experience for a long time. Game of the year in my heart. It means so much to me and I hope newcomers enjoyed the ride.
The best change in this scene is P3MC hearing Junpei so he died knowing his friends (and lover(s)) remembered their promise and came for him. Looking forward to the upcoming The Answer Reload and hopefully P6 that involves brining him back, if there ever is one.
Fun fact? : if you manage to 1 hit kill nyx true form egg thing, system will force you to active the great seal without watching last two of "power of friendship" (i tried it on my ng+ with cheat, sorry)
Yeah, Dawn M. Bennett is incredibly underrated. I’ve heard her range as Murakumo from Senran Kagura and among other roles, but she seems to do Aigis here just fine. Karen Strassman (OG Voice of Aigis and Nanako) would probably smile seeing this.🥹🤖
Yeah, while I probably prefer Strassman, Bennett was very good here. Sounded like a Chat GPT AI that learned how to be more human here. In general, the new voice cast was pretty good, even if I still prefer a few of the OG voice cast.
@LucasThePhantomThief - I kinda thought the best parts of their interactions is Aigis being her monotonous self like how you described and Makoto just has a bead of sweat and the text box just shows an ellipses like “…” to show the awkwardness.😂🤣💀💀💀
The last part is sad after the credits, including the new main menu theme. Because this doesnt mean he live, retired from sees and done, good ending... *He made a seal, in cost of his life.*
Man, I'm assuming the new translation is more accurate, but I'm so sad they changed the "you don't have to save the world" line. It and the subsequent sentence encapaulated the game's message perfectly and are the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the ending. The new one fits more naturally into the speech, but it changes the meaning slightly and doesn't have that quotable feel the original had.

@@jackjohnson8305 it's a cutscene Makoto sits on his bed, tired then looks towards the music box, he then gets a SMS (or email in this game) notification on his phone which is from an unknown sender with no subject with the only text saying "Thank You" Since you get the Music Box from Ryoji, it's heavily hinted that this moment is Ryoji saying "Thank You" to Makoto for saving the world from Himself and Nyx
Recently beat the game just last night and I’m so glad I didn’t spoil the rooftop scene for myself, felt like if I did then the impact wouldn’t have hit so hard. I still cried despite knowing what was bound to happen at the end. 10/10 game, please go play it
I never finished p3 before. I knew every spoiler. Yet, it still hits hard. I was so scared that Makoto would die BEFORE gang could meet him on the roof...
Honestly, it could be many people, Elizabeth, Ryoji, Igor, Philemon.... Personally, I don't think it matters, nor do I think it has an answer: no matter who sent it, the meaning is the same imo.
The problem with this ending now is because of The Answer & both Arena games P3 ended one big unresolved plotpoint of Elizabeth trying to free his soul and now n we need to wait until Atlus remembers this plotpoint to address in which i wouldnt be surprised if they dont they dont even remember Jose from Royal😊
At first I was a bit iffy with Nyx not being pitched down like in the original, but the stoic, new voice works just as well imo. Nyx Avatar is still one of the finest final bosses to an RPG and probably always will be lol
Hm, truly, a very well done send-off, Still, which do you prefer? Between This and the Original? Anyway, it seems like you went with the Romancing Everyone Route, can’t believe they kept that, wait you can’t Romance Maiko too in this Game, right? Oh, also, it seems like you missed Ken’s Second Dialogue, oh well. By the way, I’ve heard that The Answer might be a DLC for this Game, if so i really hope that it not just gets done justice to the original, but also that we at least get something about how the Other Social Links ended up handling the aftermath of this Ending, Always felt like it was quite the shame we didn’t get anything for them in the Original.
I just beat this game in Merciless and I got Blue Envelope from Elizabeth. But i dont know what is the item for. There must be more secrets in new game plus that we still dont know, especially on Merciless. And who is that unknown sender who text you “ thank you “
@@JohnnyFish971gonna slightly correct you You can fight her for beating the reaper and giving her the bloody button but you can also fight her for starting NG+ without killing the reaper and giving her the Bloody Button
It looks like something important is missing without "The Answer". And new player even won`t uderstand the jokes about door-kun. Should we actually consider "The Answer" as canon to reload?
Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s released as DLC down the line, it would probably take less them to develop since it’s shorter and uses much of the same assets
@@YaroslavShaforostov The Seal is mentioned the exact same way it was in the original P3: It's the name of the skill you use to finish the fight against Nyx 1:28:22
Just finished the game and even though I knew what was coming I had already played it through Portable in 2020 ironically finished it right before Royal, yeah no the ending was done fantastically and this game was done right; but yes the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed
Had to uninstall this game after beating it twice in 2 weeks. Legit finished the first playthrough & was so broken from the ending because of how good it was that I fr went & played immediately after. Didn’t play any other game either😭😭. Somehow the second time playing the ending hurt even more, along with hearing akinari’s mother speech. Haven’t cried over a game since nier automata, & even then it wasn’t as bad as this. First persona game really just became a top 3 game for me. Never got hit with feels like this for a game/show in a while. Literal tears.
If Atlus wants to act like RGG, then _The Answer_ DLC will be released to the public by August 2024 at least, much like _Lost Judgment_ and _The Kaito Files_ . In any case, what a game…
I wanted to know something, did you cut the moment elizabeth gives you the blue envelope? I mean I got it when I finished the game myself some hours ago but can't find any damn thing about it. I launched a ng+ to see and its in my storage but idk what the heck it does
@@FazPersona What difficulty did you play on? It seems like it’s only granted to those who played on Merciless. I started a NG+ on Merciless difficulty, and this Blue Envelope is the only item that carried over (the game says nothing carries over if you start on Merciless).
@@trystanburtillet2946the blue envelope is for the Secret Boss, if Faz already killed the reaper and handed her the "Bloody Button" then the Secret Boss is unlocked but it is also unlocked when starting NG+ so the blue envelope is probably for the secret boss
Hang on, I just finished the game(never played P3 or P3P or P3F). I have heard that Makoto died, but I thought he will die sealing Nyx. Why did he come back? And how did he manage to live 1 more month or so? Or this is all an illusion??
@@BrBetim oohhh so basically enjoy his high school life until the end then sealing Nyx forever? I cannot imagine what his parents will realize he died protecting their world from something supernatural.
@@foodmr2022 Yeah, more specifically he is stopping another entity known as Erebus (humanity's desire for death) from interacting with Nyx, which is what causes humanity to perform collective suicide since Nyx is more of a neutral creature than a malevolent one. Persona has some really cool lore.
I just got this ending and am confused on why people keep calling him a door, I expected him to actually turn into a door but he was just asleep? Can someone please explain
@@festhearti the door-kun joke comes from the answer part of the story (which will come as dlc later this year), the joke comes from the seal taking the form of a door with mc's figure essentially being crucified on it. as for why it kept saying he was tired, it's because he's dying. the cost for sealing nyx is his life (as you can see from the great seal skill cost being 100% of his hp) and the only reason he even made it as far as graduation day was because he was determined to keep the promise he made with his friends to meet up then if they forgot all their memories of the dark hour (which they did, and only remembered on the day of the promise). so yes, he's dead, but the point of this ending is that even if he does die, he can do so without regrets because he was able to protect his friends and see them one last time.
I would argue to buy Royal first due being cheaper And then wait for price drop on reload due being a new relased game. Not because the game is bad or anything but both experiences are very good and u wont do wrong in choosing P3 reload first. But im trying to help u save money 😅 Has for me i already got reload and having a blast (also own Royal and Golden already)
I think all spin offs of persona 3 arent cannon. I dont think they matter in tje continuity if they do the Answer I hope to god they redo the directive narrative.
