the "adult" is Shinjiro, he's a third year at the same school, so he's 17/18. Ken (the kid) stays at the dorm for story reasons.

Persona 3 is the reason i stopped trying to commit suicide back 2012... It tackles a lot of reasons why people should value their life... that's all i'm gonna say

[@ChocolateKieran]

I’m glad you’re still with us! I’m excited to try a version of the game that helped save you, thank you for sharing ❤️

[@kazeace853]

@The-Anti Thanks... the one that affected me the most is The Sun Arcana cause I'm in a very similar position as him... I am permanently sick but not terminal I've been taking Maintenance medications for 15 years now and it's expensive my dad abandoned me all i have is my mom... i wanted to die cause i was being bullied and i don't want my mom to spend more money on my meds... but the game made me realize how disrespectful and ungrateful i would be to my mom if i kill myself leaving her alone when I'm her reason she works hard in the first place

[@john_7000]

All persona games tackle that themes of valuing life, it literally the theme of the franchise

[@ChocolateKieran]

@@john_7000 Persona 5's themes felt way more about social outcasts & fighting against injustice. It did not handle the themes of life, death and the meaning/value of life in quite the same way 3 did if you ask me. Can't speak on the others until I play them though.

[@kazeace853]

@@john_7000 Persona 3 Focuses on The Value of Life and Death, Persona 4 Focuses on Accepting yourself and Persona 5 Focuses on Social injustice. Why do you think Persona 3 cast summon personas by shooting themselves?

FACTS

[@VelvetAura]

This game means so much to me. Persona 3 left a huge impact on my life and the way that I try to view it, even in the most difficult times. Super excited for a whole new group of people to be introduced to this game's amazing story and characters

[@ChocolateKieran]

This makes me SUPER excited to play it honestly! Glad it helped you get through rough times. Looking forward to sharing my experience with you all

[@VelvetAura]

@@ChocolateKieran Thank you! I'm looking forward to it as well :)

[@jokuma5798]

I can clearly see in your predictions that you only played p5, you'll be in a world of surprises my friend, this game ain't no p5

[@unworthyexp2519]

I played 4 and 5 Royal and this comment has me so happy for reload! Never played 3 before

[@ChocolateKieran]

BET! I’m so excited for it, I played the start of 4golden but I gotta continue that! Only just saved Yukiko, I’ll get back to it when I’m done with Reload

[@jokuma5798]

Awesome! Hope you'll both have a great time with P3R!😁

[@unworthyexp2519]

@ChocolateKieran finish Golden bro, I also almost didn't finish because I got to where you are and lost steam, but I picked it up and it gets WAY better.

[@ChocolateKieran]

@@unworthyexp2519 Oh I will trust me! After Reload, trying to finish Trails in the Sky before Tekken next week LOL, so I'll finish P4 after FF7 Rebirth, maybe I'll pick up streaming it again

[@3xbt7]

I always love seeing people reacting to these reload trailers, seeing people react so positively to my favorite game OAT is always a W. Hope you play this game and enjoy it as much as I did (Oh and btw tartarus appears every night, not just the full moon so dont worry about the grinding part!)

[@ChocolateKieran]

I appreciate that! I’m super excited gonna stream on twitch and upload reactions to some bits over here 😁 and ahhh that makes perfect sense then, I can grind off stream hahaha

[@Animedingo]

The dark hour takes place between midnight and 12:01 AM. So anyone who is awake during the dark hour lives for 25 hours a day.

[@pezdispencer113]

No, not everyone experiences the dark hour regardless of if they are awake or not.

[@justyouramateuryoutuber]

6:46 BAY-BAY-BAY-BAY-BAY! 7:47 DOW-DOW DOW-DOW DOW-DOW-DOWN! This is a new battle song for RE:Load called "It's Going Down Now"! And the title definitely doesn't lie!

[@ChocolateKieran]

BANGER!!!

[@joemcstinky]

The other world in this game (Tartarus), the Midnight Channel in P4, and Mementos in P5 are different places. I believe that in the world of Persona, each story you play through is essentially a game being played between two gods, one is the final boss of the game, and Philemon, who recruits you through Igor, and monitors you in the form of the Butterfly.

[@ma.2089]

He wouldn’t know who Philemon is since he didn’t play P1-2. But personally, I think Philemon allows personas to exist and monitors humanity alongside his rival. Basically like a game they play against each other with both using proxies. Nyarly doesn’t need to create problems when humans create them themselves, and Philemon simply offers the tools to combat those problems.

[@meikisaragi1445]

The Akinari social link man. That hits really hard. You keep an eye on that one.

After watching the opening for 1 nd 2 I hope they get remade too!

[@38achref26]

yeah they deserve a remake@@ChocolateKieran

[@madkaiser4887]

Guess you could say, it's REALLY ALL GOING DOWN, NOW!

[@UltimateCrusherJoe]

Love to see you react to the opening as well, which was released recently.

[@mrfrikki0]

There's also character trailers too. So recommend checking them out I you have not seen them.

[@ChocolateKieran]

Yes! I’ll watch those all on the channel when we hit the like goal ☺️

[@lop90ful1]

I love seeomg people that played persona but they never saw persona 3 react to these On another note tales of berseria is super underrated

[@ChocolateKieran]

I appreciate that thank you! I've only played Tales of Arise so maybe I'll do a video checking out Tales games too, BUT I'm currently trying to get through all the Trails games this year also LOL

[@Tvdvidro]

Also never played persona 3 and am so excited to play it for the first time As always great reaction!

[@ChocolateKieran]

Right?! Me too! Hope you love it, I already know I will!

[@-jay-2993]

@@ChocolateKieranI started the game back around when the game first released on switch and the remake was shown shortly after. In a way I’m upset that I won’t get to experience reload blind but on the other hand the original game has managed to become my favorite persona game in the franchise and I’ll definitely be able to appreciate reload more for fixing the original problems.

[@Tvdvidro]

@@ChocolateKieran thanks man, have a good playthrough

[@abyssal_dreams]

Akihito (the boxer guy) is actually voiced by Alejandro Saab, VA of Cyno (Genshin Impact), Jing Yuan (Honkai: Star Rail), and many more things I can't recall atm. (He also streams as CyYu, and previously/is KaggyFilms. (Sorry if I typed too much)

[@staticshock4239]

Oh man you should react to every Persona opening.

[@ChocolateKieran]

We actually just did on Twitch, I’ll upload it next week 🫡

[@shelbybayer200]

3 was the Introduction of All out Attacks Personas 1 and the Persona 2 Duology had "Fusion" Spells with multiple Persona users working together But P3 was the first to have All out attacks

[@connorharnage6697]

I'm so glad to see people hyped for this game. Persona 3 is tied with 5 for my second favorite in the series (Sorry but the Persona 2 duology will always be Number 1 for me). The characters and story just felt so real and impactful. I was so bummed when I saw people hating on Reload at first but I'm glad people have turned around Edit: Since you said you were confused and idk if anyone else explained it, the Dark Hour happens every night at midnight and the player can go to Tartarus at any time. It's only on the full moon when extra strong Shadows appear and defeating them progresses the story

[@captshavers]

lol the Cdawg callout XD did NOT see that coming. I found out so recently that Cy Yu voices Akihiko, as well as Jing Yuen in Honkai Star Rail, I kinda flipped when I went down that rabbit hole, since he's in some other animes that I love like Horimiya too.

[@joren3275]

The moon is absolutely an important theme in P3. About as important as the seven deadly sins theme was to P5.

[@shelbybayer200]

We live in A dorm On an Artificial Island called Iwaitodai The mall we vist a lot in the game is called Paulownia Mall (Revisted during the School trip in P4)

[@ahmijalza2101]

elizabeth is the velvet room attendance in this game, she's been my favorite attendance ever since..she's just so fun

[@AusSP]

> "Aigis is like Teddie or Morgana... where there's a character on the team and there's a mystery around them and we're going to figure it out." My man missed the mystery character.

[@ChocolateKieran]

You have my curiosity... Really looking forward to playing the game to find out more!!!

[@tetchycrane3648]

Man I'm hoping you end up uploading the full vods of your playthrough of P3 also if you like it i suggest looking at Persona 2 it gets really good and very dark especially with the second P2 game that continues the story it holds alot Persona lore

[@ChocolateKieran]

I actually just saw the opening for P2 today and its MAD interesting! Might upload my reaction to all of those 😁 I don't upload VODs, I jsut save them all on Twitch but I will be editing playthrough videos and reactions for you guys here so don't worry!

[@tetchycrane3648]

@@ChocolateKieran Yeah P2 is extremely interesting and important lore wise abd it would be interesting to see your reaction to it especially considering the that people in P2 are closer to SMT than p3 and up P2 has a sequel that was really good

[@ma.2089]

P3’s “metaverse” isn’t like P4 or P5. For P5, you enter the other world. In P3, the other world comes to you.

[@ma.2089]

There isnt an exact parallel with Morgana or Teddy in P3. It’ll make more sense when you play.

[@pezdispencer113]

There is, but it's not a party member.

[@bananabunch4590]

(SPOILERS) I feel like Metis was the Morgana & Teddy of P3. Since she's also a creature from the other side sent out to help the team accomplish their goal. And technically speaking since Metis is a part of Aegis, it's a sound reasoning to believe that Aegis is to P3 what Teddy & Morgana is to P4 & P5.

[@pezdispencer113]

@@bananabunch4590 He's moreso referring to the character shrouded in mystery, which yes Metis is to some extent. But that mystery isn't drawn out over the length of the game. Pharos was who I was referring to. He's linked to everything, presented at the start and has a mysterious past with the cliched amnesia plot device tied in as well, which Metis is missing (from memory).

[@ma.2089]

@@bananabunch4590 Yes, she fills the role. I didn’t mention her since she’s in the epilogue but you are correct. P3 really makes it clear why Teddy and Mona were essential to P4-5.

It's such a small thing, but I love how the English Reveal Trailer starts. Yukari: "Any questions?" Player: **Immediately hovers over "not really"** Glad to see the MC's character is still in tact. "My name is Makoto Yuki, and *I Don't Care."* 😂😂😂

[@weertangel7231]

I've been putting off playing any P3 game ever since i heard rumors about a potential remake of the game and i'm SO glad i did couse its gonna be epic for sure! I hope they do a remake of P4G in the future as well couse its a great game and i'd love to see it look as good as this game does.

[@ChocolateKieran]

you’re the same as me!!! that’s why I got started on 4 Golden first, even though I fell off 😅 this gonna be hype!

Jack Frost is kind of just an Atlus Mascot so they have him as In universe merch and a Summonable Demon/Persona

[@LoulouNoLegend]

You talked about how they can have gun in japan, well these aren't real guns so.. These things looking like guns are called ''evoker''

[@shelbybayer200]

Ken actually is on the Squad He has a Persona He has "The Potential" that the Protagonist has (Note: The Potential is not the wild card it's the ability to use a Persona) Basically If you don't turn into a Coffin when the clock hits 12 you have the potential However, people who are Found who don't have a Persona and weren't turned into Coffins are Eaten by Shadows This doesn't "kill" them but it makes them Hollow Husks without a will to live

[@shelbybayer200]

Persona 3 is about Death The Moon is used as an indicator of the coming death of everything Each Full moon A Big Shadow based on the Reversed Arcana attacks during the Dark Hour

[@thomasfairburn5254]

Hopefully after Persona 3 Reload we'll get a Persona Revelations, Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Persona 2 Eternal Punishment remake. They're arguably more darker, mature and occult themed than P3. They need a remake more than P4 honestly as P4G isn't too dated to play.

[@ChocolateKieran]

I just checked out all the openings and agreed I NEED the first three Persona titles to get a remake because I'm super curious!

[@leorelic]

Persona 3 is an amazing piece of our history. tho Persona 2 Duology was my favorite in the series and far darker. Persona 3 is a game that has its own place in my heart. what a banger. cannot wait for the Remake.

[@fluke7506]

you should watch the opening. or you could wait for the game to come out

[@ChocolateKieran]

Oh we'll be reacting to the opening for SURE!

[@colt1903]

So, Persona 5 is like the odd one out of the Big 3 Persona games. In Persona 3 and 4, the Shadows you fight in the dungeons aren't Personas. Just monsters that range from vague blobs of tar with masks to psuedo-eldritch abominations. You can still get Personas from battle, but not by the negotiation system like in 5. Persona 1 and the two Persona 2 games(Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment) also have the negotiation system. Persona 3 removed it for whatever reason, and revamped the structure of the games in general. P3 was the first to introduce the day to day calendar, hanging out with people, and all that other stuff the series has come to be known for. P5 polished everything that came before, reintroduced the negotion system, and P5R even kinda brought back the tag team moves that were in P1&2 with the Showtime attacks. I do genuinely hope the P1&2 games get full on modern remakes in the future. The plot of them isn't necessarily connected to the later games, but it does give a lot of cool background info. Like "what's the deal with the butterfly motif across the games" and "What are the origins of Igor and the Velvet Room". Not the most important questions to have answers to, since it's not like these games really have greater overarching and connected narratives, but it's still cool to have all that info in your back pocket. Especially when certain bits can help you figure out the Fake Igor twist in P5 WELL before the game itself drops tangible hints to it.

Trailers are such spoilers, I swear. So many moments ruined.

[@ChocolateKieran]

there’s absolutely no context to any of this so it’s not a spoiler! if you know what’s going on already it probably feels like a spoiler to you though. I’m sure I’ll forget most of this during the 100 hours playing anyway 😂

[@BigFry9591]

@@ChocolateKieran Well, if someone didn't know Star Wars, and you told them Darth Vader was Luke's father, they wouldn't know what that meant. But the second they see Darth Vader on screen, they immediately know it's Luke's father, and the twist is ruined. You've just seen these scenes in the trailer, so when they show up they won't be a surprise (because you've already seen them). See what I mean? Context doesn't matter. If you're given information prior to experiencing where you'd get that info in the first place, it's a spoiler. Sorry if this sounds rude or antagonistic in any way. I'm a stickler for calling out spoilers, and identifying exactly what a spoiler is (because it seems that many people don't actually know).
