[@wolfsy7]

dyldragon1 lmao my only gripe with the soundtrack is that there isn't enough of them. Like you hear the same four soundtracks play during the daytime/nighttime cycle. But the palace specfic ost were really great. Overall the soundtrack in my opinion is the best in the series.

[@DSauce999]

dyldragon1 I definitely like it, but an issue people could have with it is that unless if you consume Japanese media a lot and adapt to listening to "engrish" the vocals can be irritating or confusing to listen to. It is a complaint I have seen before and I cannot deny it, it is an issue that Japanese companies always use Japanese people in their works, even if some foreigner fluent in English would be much better.

[@ErrorUnknownChannel]

dyldragon1 its not memorable. I have played almost every single Megaten game, and this soundtracks was the least memorable. That's not saying much, since it's still better than almost every game that has come out. Just compared to DDS, P3, Raidou, Nocturne, etc.. it doesn't compare

[@dyldragon1]

The soundtrack has been playing in my head since October, but I don't think its as good as some other SMT games. I do gotta stew on it as to where it ranks amongst the others, plus I need proper context for most of these songs, but it's pretty incredible as always for an SMT game. DDS and Persona 4 for best soundtracks

I'm the minority of people who actually liked the beginning of this game i.e. Kamoshida, Madarame, etc. Apparently everyone believes that Kaneshiro is when the game begins picking up, but honestly I loved it from the start. Okumura is a drop in quality, but that's immediately followed by the best section of the game; so I forgive it

[@resinfruit]

i think the big one is that by kaneshiro, the cast is at its best and has a really good balance with Ryuji, Mona, Ann, Yusuke and Makoto. plus by the time you get to kaneshiro, you have higher level bonds and better stats and you get to actually play the game as a whole

[@navdeepsp]

I love kamoshidas palace but I think people dont like it because of the fact that half of the palace is literally a tutorial so

[@andrewodinson3726]

I'd say Madarame is when it starts picking up. Kamoshida's portion is just an appetizer for the rest of the game.

[@Cj-iu5px]

I think Kamoshida and Madarame was tooooo slow,it was good dont get me wrong but it just took way too long.

[@seanraf2554]

Well that's because you can't really do anything in the early game. No confidants to hang out with. Can't go out at night cause Sojiro doesn't trust you yet. It's almost like a movie since you can't really do anything. Though I personally think Kamoshida is the best, most well developed villain.

I think Persona 3 was a huge accomplishment for Atlus at the time, but judging it objectively, and comparing it to it's sequels, it really shows that it truly was just a first attempt at the formula. The story wasn't dense enough, and it left too many loose ends, and a lot to be desired. There were many other shortcomings like the flat main characters, but at the very least it was very ambitious and had a lot of heart.

Personally I think that a lot of people don't give the stpry enough credit. It's not a slow story, really, but it's driven by dungeon crawling gameplay - thus it takes a lomg time for the story to actually start going (because you have to finish the dungeon first) Oh, and on another note, the twist(s) near the end are fucking amazing. People should play the game for that alone.

[@characterchampion830]

words can't describe how much I agree with you. I always hear people in the fan base say that the story is the worst out of the games and I always wonder if we played the same game. The twists, commentary on Japan and each dungeon hyped me up more and more until the game ended. Best story in a modern Persona game and no one can change my mind on that.

Play a real Shin Megami Tensei game. I'm kidding. Persona 5 is great so far. The start is super freaking slow, probably slower that P4. The soundtrack is probably the best in the series. My favorite in terms of plot is Persona 2. Overall glad to see Cr1TiKaL doing a Persona review in general \('0' )/

[@VelvetAura]

ChaoticNightmare The nice thing is that while the game starts slow, it at least lets you get a feel for the overall gameplay a few times. Persona 3 I had a pretty big issue with in terms of that. To me it seems as though Persona 5 eases you into the gameplay that you'll be focusing on, which at times to me seemed a little bit too much, but other times I found very helpful. I have to say though, once the game truly gives you free reign over all of your actions, it truly shines.

[@InternetMonster1]

Persona games have soundtracks similar to FE where the good songs are really really good, but a lot of them are just average. I like a lot of Persona music, but overall I can't place it as high as Xenoblade, Mario, DK etc.

@@mr.totolose2107 3d Mario games and 2d Donkey Kong games have some of the best soundtracks ever made. Tropical Freeze and the Galaxy games are my examples.

Im just going back to these old videos and Charlie’s content is just so good in these more serious reviews and more funny in the new ones! Loyal sub, great channel

[@Supersmallchibiwolf]

10:10 It's about time someone other than me called Joker Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon. I usually watch your videos throughout the years but must have missed this one. I was aware of Persona before this game and always enjoyed the look and anime cutscenes. I love Persona 4 and Persona 3. I remember a few people talked about Persona 5 especially one super fan but Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was the only experience I have with Persona 5 due to Joker being in that game. Although that doesn't really count It's still Joker and his move set. Persona 5 sounds amazing. Cool video. ^_^

[@littleblock2639]

I myself enjoyed Persona 5 by a lot. I am not a big fan of JRPGs and never have been, but all the hype I saw about the game on the internet made me play it. I also started to hear some P5 songs in my youtube music mix, so I decided to give it a try. Being hyped up, I didn't experience the 8-12 hours of boredom Charlie was takking about. I liked it from the go. Just like Charlie, the thing I like the most about this game is visuals. The red-black-and-white aesthethic is just so pleasing to look at and every little part of the UI just makes me experience visual orgasm. The soundtrack is something I still listen to this day, and I don't think it is going anywhere from my playlist any soon. Story - yeah, looking back, it wasn't anything special. Good, but not special. There was one moment though that got me screaming and shitting and almost bursting into tears from all the epicness of the event. And while fighting the final two bosses, I just couldn't help but get up and dance to the boss theme - that was idiotic, but the hype was real. And the whole thing about shadows and personas and facing your own self changed me in a way, made me better. In the end, I spent 115 hours in this game, been playing it for a year and a half, and I regret it about 10% only because I could be more productive in my highschool during these 115 hours. I give this game a 9.3/10

[@jangiurg5295]

I do not agree only with one thing - calling the soundtrack solid is really an understatement. The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic and blew me (and a lot of people in general) away. But that also goes to personal preference,. Great review., I feel moister after watching it.
