He should still be german. All that mayan sorcerer stuff only happened because of the rumors coming true, which Nyarlathotep only made happen in 1999 (the year this game takes place). Besides, there’s now the new timeline after this game’s ending, and since the In Lak’ech was never written in that new timeline, the rumor of Hitler being a sorcerer was never spread, so he was never retroactively made one

52:00 One of my favorite aspects of Persona 2 is the attention to detail, pretty much every time the "plot progresses" almost every NPC in every map has new dialogue, it foreshadows a bunch of things but is almost all skippable. There's a really sweet plot point with Katsuya, where at first he hears the rumors of the 5 people spotted near the scenes of the explosions, realizes it's Tatsuya, and just kind of tells him to go away, thinking his brother is a criminal but loving him too much to pursue it. But later on, when you tell the kids to tell everyone that you were actually the ones who saved them, Katsuya is smiling when you see him and says that their dad would be proud of him, a girl nearby says that she saw Katsuya watching the news and that when he realized Tatsuya wasn't the criminal he looked so relieved he almost cried. And this entire subplot is entirely missable, the attention to detail is impeccable.

you have no idea how happy lots of persona fans are that you'd give P2 a shot. Too many people look at the duology and say "eh they look too old, i'll skip them", depite them having the best writing in the series. Thank you for giving these two great games a chance.

[@davidklassen5791]

@RAYHAN REHEMA PUTRA It doesn’t need side quests like the later games because it’s not a stupid calendar system game. It’s a different era of JRPGs, and it still stands up better than any other persona games. Just because it’s not as flashy as the later ones, that doesn’t make it bad. High encounter rate is just a mild annoyance, because it’s so easy to body them. Cards aren’t an issue either once you know how to do demon talk with the specific ones. Also P5 is equally as easy, if not moreso than the PSP P2’s

[@bananamilk8099]

@@Anime_CartoonKIAI can try, but I may not be the best person. Having not played Persona 4, but just as somebody who has listened to others talk about it and that particular ship. Fans of this ship really like to use the word “partner”. Like Yosuke as the right hand man, the person who always has the protagonists back. The first confidant you make. People who think that your romantic relationship should be your best friend. Weirdly their are a lot parallels between people who ship Yu with Yosuke and Ryuji and Akira shippers.

[@Anime_CartoonKIA]

​@@bananamilk8099 But not even Joker/Ryuji got this much pleading from fans who criticize P5. Which means that Yu/Yosuke must've resonated more with P4 fans than J/R to P5 fans, but I still don't see why. (I mean, Yosuke can be pretty annoying sometimes. Even if that route was available to me, I still wouldn't date him.) Plus I've seen more fans complain that Joker can't date Akechi than Ryuji, and yet Ryuji is supposed to be the Yosuke of that series.

[@conspiracypanda1200]

@@Anime_CartoonKIA I've played all Persona games, so I kinda know what shippers are on about. The through-line of Tatsuya/Jun, Yu/Yosuke and Ren/Akechi is Empathy and Support + capital-T Trauma. Tatsuya and Jun have their shared childhood trauma with everyone in the fire, but they also have their private unbreakable bond to each other as symbolised by the lighter. Jun gets it worse of the pair as he's rumor-brainwash-magiced into being Joker, leading Tatsuya to help save Jun. Childhood friends who have been separated and reunited through a dramatic rescue and now support each other unquestioningly through their shared traumas can be romantic if you wanna look at it like that, so it's popular. Yu and Yosuke have a similar vibe but in a shorter time span. Both are technically the New Guy in town so they can supposedly relate to each other, and Yosuke especially pushes for any kind of bond at the beginning of the game because he feels he's got no friends (outside of maybe Chie, who keeps kicking his ass). Then Yosuke suddenly goes through the death of his crush and his whole Shadow Self where only Yu and Teddie are around to witness and support him. Again, one guy rescues the other (this time all by himself) and they end up supporting each other unquestioningly. The difference is that the bond is solidified not in a shared childhood, but in the S-Link and other major interactions that develop through the game where Yosuke basically shows just how much he seeks Yu's attention and approval over anyone else. This can be extended into a romance very easily if wanted, which Atlus almost did. The whole "partner" thing is just a bonus. Imo Ren/Akechi is the one that I shake my head at the most because it's primarily just fans going "I can fix him". Still, Ren and Akechi both have shared traumas caused primarily by Shido and Yaldaboth, but there's a major difference in that they literally can't support each other because they're too different to properly accept the other. Akechi specifically is the problem since he spits on the idea of changing too much and accepting support from Ren, even just as a friend. Royal gives a bit more time to the development of the relationship, but imo it's pretty much another version of Yu vs Adachi but they're in the same age range this time so a relationship is seen as acceptable by fans. People just love the tragic angle of it, I guess, and daydream of a peaceful resolution and blooming relationship that the game's story would never be able to effectively give them without watering down Akechi's whole point as a character. And then there's Ren/Ryuji. It's kinda got some trauma and support in it, but it's to a far lesser degree because Ryuji just feels more...idk... Independent? Like, all the other ships have this vibe of "they _need_ each other because the support provided by their relationship makes them both better", but Ryuji typically doesn't feel like he "needs" Ren after his awakening and the defeat of Kamoshida. His trauma basically feels "resolved" the moment he summons his persona and declares he's not gonna take anyone's shit, plus his stunt on the boat finishes the subtle arc about his injured knee, which he never showed obvious anxiety or constantly asked for any emotional support for. Even in his Confidant and general interactions Ryuji is determined and unfaltering, if a little goofy since he's comic relief 85% of the time, so Ren's help doesn't have the same dramatic value. If you were to put the two in a romantic pair there wouldn't be much implied development, so fans push the idea of a relationship a little less. But hey, that's just my analysis. I don't even like going down romantic routes anyway.

The video is out LETS GOOOOOOO Absolutely loved watching the streams of this game, it was a blast :D

[@ebolarat]

8:20 oh my God it worked.

[@Yeaster]

Fun video! It's what this game deserves ❤ Tatsuya x Jun is the only pairing that makes sense.

[@Cressyextraeepy]

Ommggg I literally was watching the full playthrough on your channel a couple days ago!! It took me like 2 days and I skipped some of the combat but I loved watching it I'm going to try do it for Eternal Punishment but I think I should pace myself this time

[@debbystragier2154]

2 things i would never have believed that existed in an persona game: gay people and hitler.

[@OneColdRepublican]

Damn your the only person I know who got into Persona backwards. If this keeps up you'll stumble into SMT mainline backass from SMT If.

Well she did recently play through Devil Survivor, so... XD

Ah yes the adventure of Bichin & Friends, lovely

I cant believe that the new persona game is out! 😍 Even though the numbers seem to be wrong..?

p2 ending is STILL like, time to cry , its been YEARS but it never stops, both of them mess me up good

[@Saxdude26]

43:49 I feel like this perfectly sums up how ballistic this plot is. XD

[@Faceless_time_traveler]

I really hope you enjoy this game as much as the rest of the Persona series . Persona 1 and 2 are one of the most overlooked RPGs I've ever played and it's such a shame .

[@acdbrn2000]

P2 kinda gets overlooked since it was a split story and only officially released outside of Japan on 2 different console generations with only the second half of the story available for a decade in the west. That being said P2 eternal punishment is my favorite game of the whole SMT verse (including all SMT, Persona games and spin-offs) at least in terms of story… newer entries have nicer mechanics.

[@TheDaphinator]

So great getting to look back at some of the best stream moments with both more and less context lol.

[@blue_blemish]

im so happy you decided to play the duology i think my favorite part was kisin approving of the gay LMFAO

[@一杯飛蛾]

8:20 Damn would be surprise if i heard the rumor that says P3 remake will released in early february am i right... 😏

[@incandescence5547]

i'd like to classify persona 2 as the second real-life SCP, alongside jerma if i wake up in a dumpster in detroit and this game doesn't exist anymore i won't even be surprised

[@q-miiproductions878]

8:21 Reload’s gotcha back!

[@doublechindoge7]

Glad you're playing this - Was giving P2 a chance a while ago by watching another playthrough, but I just couldn't get into it. I got a few hours through and I just was not grabbed by anyone except Eikichi. I was gonna still keep going, because the premise of rumours bending reality interested me, but the playthrough I was watching was unedited iirc, so eventually it just became too much of a slog for me to get through. Hopefully I'll feel better about giving it another shot now.

[@raphaelkgh218]

I watched the entire thing! Thank you CrystAAHLl! I loved it!!

[@lenierka]

Holy positive thinking! movie long persona 2 vid LETS GOOOOO

[@ladyholiday3863]

Really glad u played this game, because I had only a slight idea what P2 was about. It was a wild ride and I love all of them now. I have a lot of nostalgia for this playthrough already now

[@dafire9634]

the nahobino plushy opening the door was 10/10 editing

[@Karkatrielle]

persona 2 probably has the best story and if they went back and just tweaked the gameplay i genuinely think it would eclipse the entire series i think my dream game is like a full remake of the game that keeps the story and characters in tact but fixes the combat in its entirety

[@MugenHeadNinja]

I always love seeing people play the best Persona (duology), first time viewer but looking forward to Eternal Punishment too!
