Being the player's fault is foreshadowed from one of the arcana archetypes he is best at. That being the Moon arcana, which is shown throughout the series of other representers, creating problems and situations caused by their direct actions.
ngl the ending of this video really hit hard for me, throughout college and even now sometimes, I underestimate what it means to have friends. Great video!
This route truly is the epitome of Pandora's Box. While it really doesn't answer... anything to do with the main route at all and mostly just serves as an extension of the game's themes, the more human touch of the antagonists is much more compelling than the more high concept, nebulous message of the SEBEC route. The ties to Naoya's initial persona are nice. Especially since you pointed out you can divert to the SEBEC route at any point before unsealing the mask... Besides the general game design and "haha gotcha" puzzles. Honestly, what made me love the Snow Queen route the most is the atmosphere and antagonists. Even if the plot is kinda incomplete without doing the SEBEC route, the necessity to look up a guide and grind just to beat it, and the pacing and vague directions at the start are bad. Your skills in analyzing the writing decisions and synergy with the gameplay at the start are fantastic. Keep up the great work!
It's always a good feeling seeing a new person talk about Persona/SMT, the editing was great and I really enjoyed your commentary. I hope you keep it up!
Thank you! I'm happy that so many people enjoyed what I worked on over span of several months and I hope I can celebrate other games and not just Persona as I get better working on my craft! SMT was recommended to me after I published the first Persona video. It is 100% on my list of series to dive into!
Still so insane to me that they mad "Houri's" a persona. As they're literally what is described in the Koran as the women that martyrs get when they go to heaven.
Another thing the game doesn't tell you is that to get the totems for the party's ultimate personas, you have to complete the hardest tower first. You get the totems from Hee-Ho-Kun (the Jack Frost in uniform)
Glad you enjoyed it! I do plan on working on my style as I keep going, so some things may change. However, I do plan on keeping things if I hear people are liking it! All the music (aside from 2 songs in the first video) are from the PSP Soundtrack.
