the fusion spells with any Jacks is funny imo, jack brothers, Yuki summons them and just walks away.. and on King and I, King frost knocks over Yuki right after summoning
I came back to this video to say the same thing. The gameplay feels a lot faster paced or even 'organized' to say. Without context somebody who's never seen this franchise (Or at least the first clip) wouldn't even know he was pulling a trigger to do that. Beautiful transitions while keeping the class.
I'm pretty sure he still does it during the windup animation but the windup animation is now part of opening the persona skills menu, they sacrificed some style for snappier combat. I miss the spin too but I think overall it makes fights feel better and faster.
@@spacecatsolar The problem with the evoker draw animation is that the menu interface obstructs it. And don't get me started on that out of character bunnyhop that Mitsuru does.
It's so cool how they streamlined most of the late game battle mechanics via Theurgy, along with giving everyone else cool new skills. Orgia mode is now an all-out finisher, rather than a situational/mostly useless command mode.
@@ApexGale Oh yeah I know, but I prefer to use Orgia mode near the end of a battle. Aigis overheating is detrimental in any major boss fight, so I make sure she can finish the fight before it happens.
To be fair, they're still there just less clear. The two best examples are makoto's first theurgy and yukari's. Makoto looks like he accidentally used a real gun and is just dying in slow motion while yukari briefly looks the same.
@Next-GenNeptune It actually makes perfect sense. I think you need to work on your reading comprehension. In the first game she seemed like an actual robot, in new game she seems not as robotic, as if she is actually a human simply pretending. The fact you just agreed with kichiroumitsurugis comment means you are literally agreeing with the OP because that is what the OP is implying.
I absolutely love how in original p3 special attacks like jack brothers have a special gun firing animation. It's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I wish they kept that...
i mean, it's where the word orgy comes from so the double meaning is probably intentional, Orgia were secret rites for the worship of Dionysus, and then it meant any celebration with excessive debauchery, that's why it means "group sex" now Orgia (Greek) -> Orgia (Latin) -> Orgie (French) -> Orgy (English)
Yk what Jack Brothers actually sort of represents now that I think abt it, that one scene with kenji & makoto & their comedic moment. Especially since Kenji is magican, & so are the personas.
I would say it's more that both are based on manzai, a type of Japanese stand up comedy that has two people, a silly character and a straight man, and the two of them make puns
@@xt6997 it's not Nintendo's call. They need the yearly games because of all the non-game stuff that depend on them. The anime, cards, plushes, merch, films. Nintendo owns about a third of the Pokemon brand at most. Not enough to make any decisions
@@velvetbutterflyit actually is nintendos call and Pokémon is a multi billion dollar brand. Nintendo and/or the devs of mainline Pokémon games want to release yearly because thats annual profits. Pokemon company does NOT depend on the revenue of their mainline games.
@@garaktartv3647 I think the cut to the enemies being knocked down after the punchline is way funnier than Jack Frost slapping (hi-fiving?) Pyro Jack and then them taking damage
@@bureahuwaito I'm pretty sure they're doing a manzai which is a popular Japanese type of stand up comedy with a funny man and straight man (boke and tsukkomi) and the hand slap movement is part of the comedy routine done by the straight man
Person who played the original Persona 3: "Wow, they really took advantage of the advances of technology and the recent games' presentation style!" Me, who's only played Personas 1 and 5: **sees **0:05**** "E-excuse me...??" 😦
@@MrMewCultNot a very necesary effect tbh, but might sorta agree with the recoil of using fusions, albeit since they changed how it works/looks i guess that was a sacrifice. However i do like Makoto interacting more with his personas now rather than just "oh lemme point a finger to the sky, kthxbye" xD
@@AlfredoTaken That is generally due to the way she uses certain words, ending off phrases with "as they say" extremely often, even if those phrases are supposed to be commonly known
Yeah, and now it's literally just the big damage button without any risks that used to come with the OG move. Great evolution! Let's just dumb the whole game down
im a new persona player playing the reload! and i imagine how crazy it must be for those who played persona 3 and really liked the game to play the reload now
If anyone with a language that has their roots on Latin is wondering. Aegis mode just basically means “frenzy” in greek. So you can consider it a “berserk mode/transformation”, and not that other thing you have in mind.
The plasma wings on aegis in orgia mode make the whole mechanic so much cooler that I actually use it in reload where I almost never touched it in FES. Feels more on par with a proper mecha power up or tokusatsu/power rangers battlizer mode rather than just a berserk aura.
Watching this with no context (never played a Persona game) was pretty funny. May I ask why the dude shot himself in the head at 0:03 and money flew out, lol?
It's not money. It's... not sure if it has a name. It's like the soul being given form. Those shards form the Persona being summoned. The P3 cast shoot themselves to summon their Personas. They need to put their bodies and minds under extreme stress in order to force their Personas out. They don't have a contract like in 5, they didn't embrace theirselves like 4, and they don't have Philemon's blessing like 1 and 2, so they have to work a lot harder to bring it out. Although the gun isn't really a gun. It houses a Plume of Dusk, a fragment of the collective unconscious, which resonates with the Persona inside someone and more easily calls it out.
@@snintendogyou're wrong in every way. First off the original orgia mode doesn't even have an animation, it's literally just Aigis with an aura and slightly buffed attacks. And the new jack Brothers animation is literally just the old one with better graphics. You're just hating to hate, persona 3 reload is better than the original in every aspect
@@mental9080As someone who hasn't played either game, the old one for the guy dual summonig jack frost and jackolantern is better. Not for the graphics, but for the impact and feel.
@@fohb7291 "persona 3 reload is better than the original in every aspect" >Koromaru's human sounds >Less expressive portraits >MC being restricted to swords only I could go on. I mean, I loved the remake, but to say it's better in every aspect is just plain wrong.
I still think the PS2 version looks great to this day. P3 FES still is my favorite game of all time and Persona 3 Reload is almost just as good as FES to me. It's just not better because I have a huge nostalgia for the original, but I appreciate everything they made better on Reload and I think P3 Reload it's objectively the best Persona 3 game so far.
@@JROTGS Reload is so flashy its lost its soul. OG animations are efficiently animated and made with passion on a console that was duct taped together to work. P3 was a miracle game made on a shoestring budget. P3R is just a souless cash grab censored to hell and content cut from the OG aslo is costs double the original did. 70$ is ridiculous for a game that as a "to be continued" at the end.
@@snintendog again, you're completely wrong. Like I said before the animations are in no way soulless, they just look cleaner. You've been brainwashed by the media into thinking anything that looks good is automatically soulless because it's doesn't look like it came out of an apple 2 computer. P3R isn't censored either. The only thing they really censored heavily was that beach scene, and that scene completely deserved to be removed as it was transphobic. It's not a cash grab either, there's obvious passion put into P3R.
Fusion Spells are now tied to a new mechanic: Theurgy. Basically a supermove you charge up. For Makoto, you just need the Personas in the compendium to access those fusion spells
Never played any of these games, but in the first 10 seconds you choose an attack, the guy yells, shoots himself, and then two little guys tell a joke or something
@@noahhughes121 I'll divide the explanation into 2 comments, first is the first half of the video; the one you questioned, but I felt like explaining the second clip should anyone else wish to read. Personas are manifestations of the human psyche. How one summons one can vary. One way is to be pushed to extremes and it comes out of desperation. By putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger, even a fake one, it can trick your body and put you into that desperate state; forcing the Persona out. The IRL original concept was that the gun was real and that the Persona would heal the damage before the user would die. The finalized concept and in-game explanation is that the gun, called an Evoker, houses a Plume of Dusk that resonates with a Persona and helps call it out. And while the psychology factor does help as said above, the reason a gun was chosen was basically because it was cool and convinced someone to join the exploration team long ago, other forms do exist however. The protagonist, pictured in the first half, has some special abilities. 1: he can use numerous Personas at will. And 2: he is capable of summoning 2 at once. The skill chosen, Jack Bros, features Jack Frost and Pyro Jack (Jack o' Lantern). The animation references a traditional type of Japanese comedy I forget the name up. Basically one acts silly or naïve and the other is a straight man that reacts or asks questions. The enemies suddenly collapse to the floor in reaction to the (presumably bad) jokes. Which is a trope you probably seen happen if you ever watched even clips of any slice of life, romance, or comedy anime. Or even more general series such as Pokemon have used it from time to time. The remake's attack is changed mechanically, but ultimately the same thing happens.
In the second clip, Aigis activates Orgia Mode. If the name didn't clue you in, there is a Greek theme in the game. Aigis being the name of Zeus' shield IIRC, and Orgia being Greek for "frenzied". Yes the joke is obvious. That's because that adult term comes from the fact people would do it frenziedly. As she's a robot, using the skill removes her limiters. In canon this makes all her attributes go into overdrive, but can only last so long before she starts breaking down. In the original, she would simply get a special buff for a few turns, with a steamy aura indicating she is pushing her limits. In the remake she starts off with a strong AoE attack with a flashy animation and then has the aforementioned buff as a bonus.
Nah he does still, it's just a lot more subtle and less overt, which I think is for the best. At 0:21 you see him hold the gun up to his head and at 0:23 you see the shards flying out of the left side of his head after the shot, like in the original. The red transition is simultaneous with him shooting himself. Also the sound effect is a lot more abstract and less gun-like. And he doesn't fall backwards like he did in the original. It all adds up to make it a lot less brutal, which again I think is for the best, although I appreciate the original too.
He actually does, but the first half of the animation is always in skill selection, and performing the skill is him taking the shot with the evoker, unlike in the original, where using a skill played the whole animation uninterrupted
It's done in unreal engine 4 so no it does not reuse assets from Persona 5, if anything it re uses assets from SMT V since both those games used unreal engine 4@@ogueyratogeyrat7448
I want to give this remake a chance, but the new voice cast just completely kills it for me. :/ It's a shame too because the new models and animations look fantastic. Though, seeing how Orgia Mode was changed... That's another mark against the game, imo. I liked having it as a last ditch option that carried risk. Here, it just looks like a free win button. It's sad that new fans of the series probably won't ever go back and experience the gem that was the original (or FES. Either way, really.)
Alejandro Saab made a really good point that I tend to agree with, the only people that complain about the voice changes are the ones that never gave the game a chance, obviously there will be some cases where this isn't true but from my personal experience I was really not used to aigis and akihikos voice changes, but by the time I finished they were both just as good as the originals, Fuuka sounds a lot better then the others just sound the same to me so I didn't really have an issue with those, also most games tend to be easier than their og counterparts unfortunately that's just something I've gotten used to
@@StevenMcSteve I thought some of the new voices were alright when I listened to a comparison. Fuuka's is definitely an improvement. But some of them, Akihiko's especially, just sound terrible in my honest opinion. I want to give the remake a chance, as I said, but even beyond the voice changes, there have been things I've heard and seen that just dissuade me from paying for it because those things go against the claim the devs made about wanting to stay faithful to the original game.
