[@YandereGogeta]

Updated the description to include chapters!

[@ShadowOfMassDestruction]

I've had "Don't" on repeat for two days now I am trapped in time dawg.

[@YandereGogeta]

I really think it’s gonna end up being a top 3 battle theme for me low key

[@ShadowOfMassDestruction]

@@YandereGogeta It's already top 1 for me, I've never had a battle theme make me tear up and the expansion ain't even out yet lol

[@wesType]

I enjoyed the format of this video a lot! Really excited to play the answer

[@Themindfreak117]

Yukari Defense Force reporting for duty. Also can’t wait for the new scenes with Metis. I always really loved her character and being able to actually hang out with her outside of the Abyss of Time is going to be so great. And the music!! The updated tracks are gonna be nuts

[@ShadowOfMassDestruction]

@@Themindfreak117 Yuka Defense Force Super Elite at the vanguard o7. I can't be more excited to see Metis, she looks cooler than ever before with her model and animations. I hope people develop a newfound appreciation for her with the new scenes.

[@YandereGogeta]

Godspeed soldier we will defend Yukari to the end 🫡

[@judobigdog7683]

10/10 yap session, like this style a lot!

[@Heekfull]

They are also adding totally new scenes with Metis, SEES are getting dorm hangouts and Metis is getting new story scenes. Also, don't want to kill your hype about the flashbacks animated in 2D but I'm pretty sure those are from the new opening instead because we've seen screenshots of Mitsuru and Aigis flashbacks and they were done in 3D engine (would be weird to do those two with the engine and the rest with 2D cutscenes) so pretty sure the cutscenes we saw in the trailer were from the new Opening called "Disconnected".

[@YandereGogeta]

I’m not too worried about whether it’s animated or not I just assumed it would be cause of the shots, but like I said they could keep everything the exact same and that’s cool with me so it definitely ain’t killing my hype I’m still excited asf

[@Legendaryyy77]

I’m so excited fr

[@BARALover96]

So even tho I liked the answer for the most part in the og I only played it once. I have replayed both The Journey and FeMC route multiple times but the answer once. Gameplay wise is a miserable experience. Now story for me personally loved it for the most part(huge Yukari defender here). I think there are so many missed opportunities when it comes to character interactions specially after the infighting. Imo Yukari and Akihito should’ve had a moment. They are complete opposing sides of the situation. They both say some hurtful stuff to eachother. Akihito in general says a lot of hurtful stuff that is never addressed. Yukari in the journey is the one that calls out Akihito which is what causes him to wake up and want to change and they could’ve had a cool full circle moment in the answer between them I hope they do tweak some of the writing choices from the original. One of the moments I always think about that bothers the hell out of me is after the boss fight when Yukari and Aigis talk to eachother. I forgot what Yukari said exactly but basically Yukari dismissing her own feelings for Makoto (and everyone else’s) yk the ones that cause the conflict to prop up Aigis feelings to be the more important ones. When imo you didn’t have to do that. Really hope they use the hangouts wisely. Especially Yukari and Aigis hangouts. If they are smart they should make some hangouts only available after the infighting.

[@dgc1570]

I had no idea about the hangouts being added, so thanks.

[@TheRealTetro]

I'm really not sure the scenes from the flashbacks will be like, fully animated. We're only seeing still shots of them in the trailer and I think it might just be from an opening cutscene or something like that. As someone who also thinks the Answer is one of the best storylines in Persona as a series, everything we've seen so far makes me very hopeful about the DLC. I guess the one thing that has me anxious is the Shadow Makoto cutscene, you know the one, I'm really not sure they'll be able the tone of the original, how raw it was. But we'll see I guess ! The additions they're doing have me very excited, a little more story events is pretty much all the Answer needs. But more than that, listening to Don't on repeat, just the lyrics make me feel like they *get it*, they get what the Answer is about you know, and I'm really hopeful. So yeah, just a few details I'll be on the lookout for, but overall I'm so hyped, I just love that story.

[@RowanRuins9119]

They confirmed in reviews that enemies still have dodge weaknesses LOL

[@noelara9097]

My hope for the answer In reloaded is they give the sees crew more of a reason for their civil war besides the whole oh it’s either go back to the past or leave things as is also I can’t wait to see Yukari call everyone out and her breakdown will hurt everyone soul in reloaded maybe a funeral scene for episode Aigis maybe

[@dgc1570]

No question, Don't is fire!:I honestly think it's my favorite battle theme in the Persona series

[@vietnguyen2293]

I’ve never liked the Answer story wise or gameplay wise but I’ve always appreciated the mood they were trying to go for. I’m hoping with this DLC, they flesh out certain aspects and kinda dive into how the characters have been doing since the protagonists death in a subtle way. Métis was annoying as shit lmao I hope they tone down her “sister” spamming. Gameplay wise, I really just want it to be difficult. The first 2 months in the base game were pretty much perfect in terms of difficulty, largely because Theurgy’s weren’t introduced yet. However, with the Answer, I’m really hoping they just take into account how strong these characters actually get with all their buffs and theurgy’s and design their enemy formations accordingly. One thing I’ve learned from the OG Answer was it actually encouraged you to switch up your party for different formations instead of always using Mitsuru, Aki, and Yukari. Now that every character got a buff and is made viable, I’m hoping this trend still continues where the enemy formations are designed in a way where “okay, maybe Yukari isn’t so great for this, how about Ken”. It would actually be interesting to see if enemy’s now have a special debuff that could prevent your theurgy meter from filling up since I don’t think the developers realized how broken they are. Also bring back the compendium and we good lmao

[@debthe2nd444]

Thoughts on "him" being a part of the challenge battles?

[@YandereGogeta]

@@debthe2nd444 I think it’s hilarious I’m down for it

[@spinballproduction9678]

This comment will have spoilers. I thought this discussion was pretty neat. Don't really plan on going all deep into why (Even though I probably will anyway.) but me personally I think the Answer is bad as a whole. Music was pretty good but I thought the gameplay had some of the most dull and boring gameplay I've played in a video game even with mods that bring back the compendium and healing clocks in bootleg tartarus. This is coming from someone who heavily enjoys the gameplay of the main game tartarus and all. A good bit of bosses are annoying with constant dodge skills. The theme of the story is cool but the pacing and execution of the story is pretty bad. The teams conflict feels very unearned because it's only over the course of one scene. Erebus feels like they desperately needed a final boss with how tacked on it is, what makes it even more laughable is that it spends the rest of eternity getting dunked on by Elizabeth. And the worst part is that it's 20 hours long when you can cut 10 hours of it and not miss anything. I don't hate it or anything but I genuinely never have a desire to play the answer again outside of a few bosses at end and didn't really find it absolutely necessary for P3 to be complete like how others do. Hence why I don't have interest for buying it for $35 in Reload. However I did like somethings about the Answer so in the spirit of this video being positive about it I'd figure I'd point them out. Overall I think Yukari is pretty "eh" tbh. I don't really have reason tbh. I feel pretty stupid for it sometimes because I've taken the liberty of looking at analysis videos and seeing people talk about her depth and how human she is, but to me the neurons in my brain just don't vibe with her tbh. If it makes a Yukari fan reading this feel any better I think she's slightly less "eh" than Aigis. Anyways I say all of that to say I was surprised that I liked her arc in the answer. I didn't think it was amazing or anything but I liked how the game allowed you to empathize with her while still making it clear she's in the wrong. Once you get to ??? the bosses are pretty great. I had to assemble an entire persona team to counter the bosses with SEES members (Which didn't take super long because of the compendium mod). If you could have a full party like you usually would they'd be easy but since your limited to 2 one of you has to play the healer which is probably going to be Aigis. Erebus is easy but still enjoyable. Metis is a boring character to me but her design is so metal. I really hope Reload actually gives her new scenes because this design is wasted as is. Final thing I like about the answer to me is the best part: the music. I loved listening to every track even if I hated playing through the answer. My favorite track in the whole series is the original Heartful Cry it's such an awesome song to me. Also to give a mention to Don't I really like it but I almost feel bad about liking it because the song is pretty depressing. btw did you swat the fly after you were done recording?

[@YandereGogeta]

I did swat that fly after I was done it had to be taken care of lmao. Thanks for leaving your feedback on the answer there’s no way for me to respond to all of it but it was interesting to read a perspective from someone who didn’t like it as much as I did
