For all those curious, Persona 5 WILL be the next For Beginners! Expect it to be a very long video but Im so excited to make it. In the mean time I hope you guys enjoy my thoughts on P5 :3
SuperButterBuns keep getting the feeling im screwing something up or useing personas that are bad their are higher level personas with better skills then arsen but i love him hes cool looking and i will suffer for that im sure
Persona 4 was JoJo Diamond is Not Crash 100%. Teens in a small town looking for a serial killer checks out AND IT EVEN HAS THE TELEPHONE POLE KILL, GUYS! Also, both are part 4 in their respective series ofc
TLCBonaparte Ahem,We already have a dog. I don't think there's going to be another dog mascot. Wait, Don't you know about P3? I mean if you now P3 you know they couldn't have another dog (Koromaru)
Man, I can't wait to just be relaxing on my bed in the hospital at the age of 87 and then one of my friends, who is also around the age of 80, decides to barge into my hospital room yelling "Wake up, ya old coot, P6 has a release date!" while waving his walking cane in the air.
@Miko "Dad, Persona 6 was released 30 years ago." "No, no, didn't you hear Jack? It just released today!" "You're talking to a coat rack." "Yes it is a nice coat rack. Who are you again?" "Dad..." "Oh hey! Jack! What's that? Persona 6 is out?! Hot dog!"
i don't even SPOILERS In Kamoshida's palace, there is a room filled with Shiho's picture and flower paddles falling. This is a metaphor meaning Shiho lost her virginity.... Now I'm gonna leave the rest to you sirs/madams!
"The tone isn't dark" //SPOILERS //SPOILERS //SPOILERS //SPOILERS //SPOILERS //SPOILERS //SPOILERS //SPOILERS -Rape -Abuse -Plagerism after a Murder -Suicide -Schizophrenia (I'm midway through Alibaba's palace, so I'm going to call it that for now) -Isn't there several penis personas? Like there's at least one in Kamoshida's palace. Which further solidifies the whole rape thing.
Trey Atkins I don’t know if you finished it, but even further into the game there are some really dark cutscenes and events that take place, specifically after the casino palace and during the final “palace” of the base game
Pro tip: Get to know Takemi. Eventually you can buy a unique accessory that regenerates 7 sp (or was it mana?) per round. Super useful for long palace treks, and it´s only 50 000 jpy.
Wow, look at these WRONG people saying Futaba isn't best girl. I'm kidding. You're opinion is always right as long as Futaba isn't worst girl and Ohya isn't best.
Also, while I love Makoto, she's a little too serious, which is fine if you like that. She does bitch slap someone though, so props to her. Makes up for the MAX Charm I took 4 1/2 months to reach.
soma Marin Is Haru a fleshed out character on the team? She seems to get the short end of the stick in YT videos. No spoilers please (I just got Futaba on the team)
MrShinyArceus It depends, by the time u get her, her element is usefull in the dungeon. And yeah, the same Way Ryuji and Ann Góes more and more to the background, her, Crow and Queen gets pushed to the frontlines. And her Confident development is Nice enough. Not as good as Futaba's and Yusuke, but kind of....you better see it' yourself. She is probably the nicest character in the party, and The Second most Fun after Futaba XD
Omg, the palaces are SO much more fun than the randomised dungeons. They make the process of levelling up your characters much less of a grind and give you more options in how you play (sneaking past enemies to save SP vs fighting everything to gain experience). I'm also very happy that the social links with side characters can also give you abilities and increase stats, so it's less of a struggle to decide whether you should hang out with Person X or try to gain more charm points because sometimes you can accomplish both at once.
For it goes Persona 3-best story and side characters Persona 4-best characters and social links Persona 5-best themes and gameplay I love almost all the characters and fangirl over them
My first clear playtime was 150 hrs. Pretty sure 50 of those where when I fell asleep with the game on and didn't remember if I saved or not when i woke up. Yusuke is totes best bud/wifey material but I gotta say, Haru was a surprise when I saw All out attack win screen animation. Made me fall in love with her.
Nah, you didn't fall asleep. Any other game I'd say sure, but if you scratched more than an inch into the persona campaign's iceberg(metaphorical, not the meme icebergs that I'm sure there's tons of videos on) 150 hours sounds short lol I'm at 35 hours and I just unlocked Yusuke and still have 2 weeks to beat Madarame's palace lol
"Best Mascot Character ever." Well I have to correct myself here after I watched the Anime "Made in Abyss" . When it comes to awesome Mascot Characters Morgana got kicked of the throne pretty hard by a certain fluffy bunny. He really does not compare. I still like Morgana a lot.
I played in normal mode and the only boss that kicked my ass was the 2nd one. Those paintings were so annoying. Rip me I guess I'm just trash at the game. Lol
I liked Morgana in the beginning, but now all he does is tell me to go to sleep and how tired I am. Also he has to narrate every single little thing I do. "OH YOU ATE A HAMBURGER! YOU MUST HAVE MORE COURAGE NOW!"
eh true, but what would replace it is just "i ate a burger and i feel that i have more GUTS". but still this doesnt give that cat the right to tell me when to go to sleep. morgana you tell me to go to sleep, i will kick the shit out of you
The thing is, I actually preferred the "first person" narrative, for example like you said: "i ate a burger and i feel that i have more GUTS". It just feels silly when Morgana has to explain every little thing to you and it kinda breaks the immersion.
18:08 "Futaba is 15 and you're gross" Huh... Buns, most of the other girls are 16/17. We're all going to Hell already anyway, so I don't think one or two years younger is going to make any difference... lol
Ann is easily my favorite starting girl in Persona, mostly because I never feel this game goes down the awful "Ahhhh pervert" *punch* stuff, the school trip cements my opinions on why she's just a cool character
I mean she kinda did that to Ryuji during the beach trip but more in a teasing way She’s so well written tho, she’s not really a big anime trope like Futaba or Haru
@@KhaiNguyen-ru7lk Personally I feel like she never got enough to do. That sort of goes for a lot of the Phantom Thieves once their intro arcs are over.
@@LupineShadowOmega more story moments would’ve definitely been nice, but I still can’t say that characters like Ann were underdeveloped (the confidants are the remainders of their arcs). Also, have you played Strikers? It provides a ton of good content for the most underutilized characters
Since Rise and Futaba are supposed to be in the same grade in their respective games. She (Futaba) would at some point have turned 16 as well. P5 just never brings up any character's birthday.
Ikr. Specially since she is only like around 1 to 2 years younger then the others. Whats with the tumblr attitude all of a sudden. Its not like MC and co are in their 30s. Plus how can people be even physically capable of not adoring her route...like....its so damn adorable.
I am currently 100 hours in my play-through of P5R and I can say that Joker is my best boy (followed by Yusuke/Akechi) and Futaba is my best girl! Her backstory almost made me cry like a baby and she is just so precious & adorable!
God! I've been spoiled for what I can only guess is a lot, but this takes the cake. Gosh. I don't think I will ever look at the game the same now. (In all honesty though, I am a bit mad. I was secretly hoping this game would just last forever. I'm on the fourth palace and I feel like I could just continue this story until the end of time.)
CyberianWinter Futaba reminds me of myself at that age tbh one could also say she has Asperges, in the fact she has trouble talking to others unless the topic interests her
The 4th Palace is probably my favorite Palace. The music, overall theme, backstory and feelings that the place brings up are extremely personal and amazingly well done.
I've never played a persona game in my life until persona 5 dont even like games where u have to wait your turn to attack what additionally caught my eye was the steelbook i tried it out and i absolutely love it if your skeptical about buying this game take my word for it and try it out
Actually, I saw it was on sale one day on the PlayStation Store (for $47) and I was already kinda curious so I bought it, got most of the way through the first palace and didn't touch it again for a couple of months until a few days ago and I've been playing it almost nonstop since. In three days, my invested hours went from about 12 or 15 to about 40 or so, the same amount of time it took me to beat Tales of Berseria (which I described as pretty long to an online friend who really seems to like first-person shooters and sports games).
I'm sooo confuse with the age right now....ain't 1st year usually 15, 2nd 16 and 3rd 17 though? according to the characters profile. Or am I an ignorance fuck who doesn't know any better?
VGJoker2015 the thing is that a lot of the people playing persona games are late teens to late 20's and a 25 year old man going waifu-crazy over a girl who just graduated middle school IS gross lmao. at least with ann makoto and especially the adults its not AS creepy
Yusuke is best waifu... what do you mean I still can't date him??? Un-fuckin-believable But seriously, I had a really hard time picking a best girl in this game. I loved Ann from day 1, but then Makoto came along and punched me right in the feels, then once I thought I had all that figured out, Futaba hacked her way into my heart, like the fuck (Haru was there too I guess). Honestly I like seeing Futaba, Sojiro, and the Protag as the wholesome glasses adoptive family, so I went for that. As for romance... I didn't date anyone cuz I was still salty about Yusuke (just look at that beautiful man)
Mecha_Gaeb Is Haru a good character in the game? The Phantom Thieves team has a special chemistry that keeps getting better and better with each new member. Does Haru fit perfectly in with the team dynamic? I just got Futaba on the team.
I think it's moreso the fact that she comes in relatively late in the game so you don't have as much time to get comfortable with her in the group, it's kind of like the Naoto situation except with Naoto you got to see her when you first got Kanji. As far as her character goes, I like her, she just comes in a little late.
Hank Hill Maxing Haru's Confidant can be troublesome since we practically only have one month... So no time to spare, equip empress persona and go perfectionist... ^^
You realise makoto is jack of all trade right? Ann is superior combat wise and Ryuji just Destroy everything, Also Yusuke is Solid, Morgana can heal, critical hit, Buff and dodge so.....and Haru is actually pretty good and have a Grenade Luncher...makoto.......she have a Bike.......thats it.
thats actually a terrible thing. romancing a girl gets you a special valentines item which allows their s link to rank up faster each ng+. so romance a different girl each time to get their items
Damn! This is how you do reviews... Very deep expression of how you feel bout the game. If this review doesn't give you the last Puch to buy the game nothing will. Thumbs up
Buns,ya Dingus! Persona 2 didn't have a gun ability. Party members had guns,but they were their weapons,not a separate skill. Persona 1 was the one that had high schoolers with guns *Shadow the Hedgehog theme starts playing*
Haru is so polite. It's like Atlus was trying to make a modern princess. I mean she thinks like rich girl, but is shy and polite. But she can be super aggressive when she's back into a corner, but Makoto is BAE!!!!!!!!!
As a person for who Persona 5 was my first SMT style game it couldn't have been a better introduction to the genre. Now granted I played the first 4 palaces on Easy mode, cause y'know new thing, but it felt like such a rewarding game to jump back into every weekend when I got back on console. Very, very good story telling, other than that one sequence before the 5th Palace (You all know what I'm talking about). Now I did watch a good few hours of an lp before jumping in (Just until the 3rd Palace watching) and I am super glad I jumped into this series now. The thing that kept me away from SMT style games was how slow and heavily boring the combat always looked but between the art style, the phenomenal music and very mature nature in handling how a group of teens would handle super natural powers with genuine moral questioning was so unique to me. Also I'm studying Jung a bit so this game handling the idea of the 'persona' and demon I was like a child in a candy store visiting the concept of the Palaces. Also just to flame the waifu wars further Makoto is best girl, if Futaba was, not 15, it would be more difficult to decide. Ann was too cardboard outside of her confidant. She blended into the background with Yusuke Morgana and Ryuji after the bug boys Palace. Makoto had so much more development and interaction all through the game right to the end. (Also let's just face it, Ann and Ryuji were totally getting it on behind Jokers back.) Moral of the story; P5 very welcoming game to newcomers in every possible way, and Makoto best girl and waifu for laifu.
BUNS! THE PROTAG SAID AT LEAST TWO WORDS IN THE OPENING CUTSCENE! IT'S A FREAKING MIRACLE! Also in you P5 for beginners can you try to explain the weakness and one more system. I tried to help a RU-vidr understand how the system works, but they didn't seem to fully understand. No idea how to explain it any better and it's their first jrpg Persona game, since they did play P4:Arena or Arena Untimax, I can never remember which. Anyways, wonderful videos, I always love hearing your opinions, looking forward to the next one!
Just beat this game 2 days ago, clocking in at 99 hours and while I miss my time with the phantom thieves, I'm happy to have my life back. Oh and Futaba is still easily best waifu. Fight me!
"Japanese Sly Cooper" :D I did get a Sly vibe from this game. My mom even said today as I was playing it that it reminded her of Sly Cooper a little bit. :)
Should I make love with Nuclear motorcycle/Student Council president girl? Should I continue being the Sexy Punk doctors little guinea pig? Or should I fuck the Hot Maid Teacher? I'm conflicted
"Futaba is 15 and your gross" Ok so Akira is gross for dating someone a year younger But your saying makoto is best girl and she's seventeen so wouldn't that make her "gross" for dating Akira
I discovered your channel literally 3 days ago and I have done nothing but binge on your sweet buttery tones and your Persona videos are by far my favourite! (Though all of your vids are pretty damng gud) Keep doing what you're doing! Love ya
i am 60 hours in the game and I'm surprised that the story is still not deep and that I'm still far from finding every party member. This is the game from the dreams of any jrpg fan.
194 hours in. NG+ from bad ending so I could start game with max social stats and make more than 3 maxed and 5 half full confidant relationships. Now on 3rd palace. Dream of a jrpg fan, though beginning railroading gets worse the second time
First video of yours I have seen. It was great! This is probably the best spoiler free reviews I've seen. I was amazed at how much detail you went into without spoiling anything. The video was also really funny. 😄
I'm like 10 hours and about to finish Kamoshida's castle. The first 2-3 hours went by slow, but now I just keep binging the game and I can't stop unless I am forced to by family, school work, and basic necessities. (Also, I know this is 5 years later. I was late on the game, really late. I just found out what the game was a month ago.)
I'm actually happier that events that take you away for a week are not in this game since I ended up having way more time for my social links. Persona 3 skipped all of summer vacation just so you can train so that you can beat mamoru in kendo or swimming. That still makes me mad.
I just finished this game for the first time, first game in the series. I played on normal. I found the difficulty curve to be fantastic, as whenever I died, it's because I was careless (or an unexpected attack from a boss) but I never found myself stuck or overwhelmed. It was easy to learn and pick up for sure, and it never felt too punishing.
This is my first Persona game and I fucking loved it! This video is actually what convinced me to pick it up and I'm so, so happy I did. When a game gets you to cry because the characters and the journey was so good that you're happy it's over but sad to see these guys quest end, you know that's a damn good game! I love this game so much!!! Also, Ann is best girl.
Xavior Nieves ... I felt the same way my brother and I were playing it and we were getting close to the end and I was like I know we're getting close and I love this story it's amazing and I wanna see how it ends but I don't want it too lol
16:17 the term for this type of story development is actually called "en media res" which is Latin for in the middle of things. It's when the story throws you in the middle and you are filled into what is happening through dialogue or in this case, a ton of flashbacks. (I started playing P5 when learning the Odyseyy and I got so happy when I realized that)
I feel like this is the video Atlas used when deciding what to change in persona 5 royal. Baton pass is available immediately, ammo is refilled between fights (and makes a lot of sense with the cognition theme) and the camera is movable fully during stealth
Pshh, everyone's yapping about Makoto and Futaba, and i'm over here being called "little guinea pig" by a hotass Punk doctor. Tae is where its at boys. Fight me
I've played many Japanese games over the years but not turn based RPGs, but after seeing the style this game has and hearing it's perfect for newcomers I've given it a go I'm a few hours in just got Arsene Persona, hope I don't get overwhelmed later but so far so :) I'm a massive fan of storytelling and games with interesting characters
Yusuke's best waifu forever. Every other opinion is valid and I respect it, but it's still wrong on a fundamental level of human understand of waifus in general. kisses, bb
This is my first time watching any of your videos, and it is so good that inspired my own reviews. Congratulations on the channel, and fiy, only inspired, not copying anything. Love your content
I ended up with her instead of Futaba because my kindness was too low. I don't regret it at all. It was especially important because I did not think highly of her when I first met her, but I feel I understand her better. Also, minus the pigtails, she looks great in that maid outfit.
I started the game not too long ago and I already have 40+ hours (it's ruining my life but that's ok). It's my first Persona and holy shit is it fantastic! I love the character designs, and sass choices. The art makes me drown in a puddle of tears for how lovely it looks! I'm glad I found your beginner video or I probably would have missed out on playing the game. Also *cough* Tae is best *cough*.
