It's kinda implied that the protag is either so used to the dark hour that he thinks nothing of the coffins and blood on the way to the dorm, or he's so depressed and apathetic that he literally just doesn't care.

[@sleep5329]

Correct. He’s depressed. He wants to die. There’s also the underlying possibility that the reason he “summoned” his persona was because he tried to kill himself

[@neo_child]

Its canon that the character is apathetic, the way he puts headphones over his ears, the way he ignores the world around him. The manga, the movie, the anime all shows him as a more stoic and apathetic character before meeting the SEES.

[@jaccetaylor3672]

@@sleep5329no amount of wanting to die makes someone act like blood and coffins everywhere is normal it’s more than likely that he’s use to it by now. Plus it literally shows yukari trying to shoot herself first and then him following through. Lastly the death kid saying go ahead and do it kinda all together is the reason he shot himself

[@sleep5329]

@@jaccetaylor3672from what we know, we can definitely infer that he does NOT care. Sure, the contract definitely let him know what he had to do but if you know the meaning behind the evokers, it makes sense

[@KayJ2012]

His apathy and depression were highly implied. When he takes the evoker to his head you can see the hint of a smile when he pulls the trigger, almost like he was handed the very instrument that could give him what he wants, death, a poetic and unjust beginning. Our reluctant hero.

Dwayne: “That’s how they - wait - WHOOOOOAAAAAA” The rest of the fandom, smiling: “I am thou… thou art I”

[@SpongeBobbin34]

Although the method of summoning a Persona in Persona 3 was always a bit unsettling, apparently it was supposed to be even more macabre. Originally, the “evokers” that they use to summon their personas were going to be actual pistols that had live rounds, and every single time they used it they would actually shoot themselves in the head, and their personas would prevent them from actually dying from impact by quickly healing them from their wounds.

Before playing persona 3 I always thought this was the case

[@MERK__ONE]

HOLY SHIT! Dwayne!!!! So good to see you playing P3R! Hope you have a blast, man!

[@DwayneKyng]

HOLY SHIT! You found me! I can't hide from my fans anymore. I hope you enjoy watching me fail miserably at P3R.

[@ma.2089]

“A week passed!? We only have a year!!” lol yeah I expect to see that response a few times if the game keeps certain things from FES

[@HighPoweredKeyz]

22:03 Fun Fact! The character you talked to here is voiced by Xander Mobus, the voice of Joker in Persona 5!

[@jsmith1291]

"There's no need to be scared." Let's see. Green moon, blood on the ground, coffins in the streets, and a child in an old-school prison uniform teleporting around like it's nothing. I'd say fear is a natural response to these events. If it were me, I'd be wondering if someone drugged my food or something.

[@MambaMachine824]

Had a little taste of this on stream, Persona is back ya’ll!!!

[@RandallHidalgoS21allas96]

Makoto's awakening gotta be the most badass in the entire season. Although I noticed that this remake is less "sadist" than FES (I didn't play vanilla).

YOOOOOO DWAYNE BACK IN PERSONAAAAA loved the p5 playthrough and im loving this game so much omgg😭😭😭.

This is probably the last thing I expected on my feed but it’s a welcome surprise

[@sleek650]

YOOOO IM SO HYPED FOR THIS🔥🔥this game is so fire I really hope you enjoy it dwayne!

[@TheTrankus]

I'm very impressed that so many people still don't catch that the protagonist is depressed.

[@ma.2089]

Some do. Ninjakuma and Semblance of Sanity (Caleb) picked up on it. Ninjakuma in particular calling him “dead inside” lol

[@sleep5329]

Should be obvious honestly 😭. Bro wears headphones 24/7 to ignore life around him and simply didn’t care enough to sign his life away

[@aspiringnobody3547]

Yeah Canonically the protagonist starts off not caring about much of anything.

I literally just watched your P5R series and did not expect to see you playing this so soon! Agree on the P4G mechanics - amazing story but I couldn’t sit through it. Hopefully the updated P3R gameplay is super smooth!

[@diordiorgalore]

my fav game of all time. gonna be fire seeing so many of the goat streamers and youtubers playing this modern take on it.

The way they summon personas makes sense thematically as you go deeper into the story

[@scarscarscarwu]

The way I screamed when I saw that you uploaded this. I hoping and PRAYING that you would. Boutta make me tear up and shit-

[@Kyngjo23]

Dwayne playing persona 3 u know it's going to be 🔥

[@Oni_1]

Your protagonist voice is really good. Hol up someone better cast him🔥

[@DwayneKyng]

Haha, maybe I should start auditioning for voice acting roles! Who knows, maybe I'll be the next big protagonist in a anime show!

[@4play2004]

To add on my comment on this Yukari being an improvement of the original: In that hospital room, there were lines like “You know how worried I was?” and “Be a good patient”…they omitted these lines here in the remake.

[@Ironstone97]

Holy hell Been playing it myself and loving it! Honestly probably one of the best remakes out there! Also the cast so good gives respect to original.

[@TyandOnGoing]

Dwayne I heavily recommend after you complete reload to listen to the OG persona 3 soundtrack as well.

Yeah, in this game. To summon their Persona they must pull the trigger of the Evoker While pointing it at themselves "Momento Mori" themes The protagonist awakes to two at once Orpheus of the Fool Arcana and Thanatos of the Death Arcana

41:00 Fun fact: Akihiko Sanada is voiced by Alejandro Saab, otherwise known as Kaddyfilms on KZbin. He does a good job masking his voice to where he sounds completely different from how he usually sounds.

[@billcipher3180]

1:06:26 it seems Yuki here naturally has 2 personas similar to Akechi from P5... I wonder what causes it I know it isn't the wildcard trait that does it since none of the other wildcards had it and Akechi wasn't ever confirmed to be one

[@lalalalisa41]

Is this your first time with P3?

[@billcipher3180]

@@lalalalisa41 I stopped playing pretty early because the exhaustion mechanic was pissing me off... I honestly prefer the original because while the remake doesn't have the mechanics that piss me off it is heavily toned down Thanatos is less brutal and Yukari isn't as hostile towards Mitsuru(making any reference to "hostility" make no sense)

[@lalalalisa41]

@@billcipher3180 Lol that's fair and I do see what you mean about things being toned down with the remake. But to your original post, there is a reason for the 2 personas for the MC. Not sure about Akechi specifically though.

If we’re doing character comparisons to Persona 5 the girls would be: Mitsuri ➡️ Makoto Yukari ➡️ Ann Aigis ➡️ Futaba Fuuka ➡️ Haru

Futaba is more suitable as fuuka than aigis cause aigis isn't shy just not sociable
