Persona 4 Animation - I'll Face Myself Reincarnation

[@Tkokat]

I played countless games on the playstation as a kid, tons of'em. But no game struck me as persona did. I remember that I got the bad ending at first, so I denied it to myself, told to myself that it couldn't end that way, later found out how to get the best ending, so I plunged myself into the game once more to get it. I remember watching the ending scene, with no fog, everyone smiling and waving as you go away. As a kid I was kinda pissed, how could the mc just leave town after everything that happened, but as a grown adult I finally get it. Sometimes in life you will be away from your friends and family, cuz life is just like that. Some people die, some other people move away, and it's fine, that's how life works. But the bonds you have, the ones you forged, they never go away. I am in that moment of my life where most of my friends have kids, they are married, or they simply moved on. It's nice to recall the fond memories of our time together, and those memories are... well... they are everything you are, as a person. Every single experience, the good ones, the sad moments and everything in between, those teach a lot. And it's beautiful to remember what this game made me feel, how it made me realize that it doesn't matter just how far you are from home, friends or family, as long as you keep'em in your memories, they are close to your heart as well, and that's what matters.

I wish I could agree with you but sometimes that just isnt the case. Sometimes people drift away and dont speak to you at all for no given reason. Its currently like that with my cousin who I was really close to growing up. I have like 7 cousins and 2 brothers (at the time, 4 now) but I was always close to my cousin and we had a lot in common. But from the ages 0 all the way to 30 (35 now) he just stopped messaging me. He still messages me on the occasion but its just hobby related, he doesnt ask how I am or if we should go out somewhere. Hes got a home, 2 kids and a partner and works 55hrs a week mon - fri so I get it, he's busy. But we used to hook up on average once every 2 - 3 weeks but now Id be lucky to see him twice a year. Last time I saw him was 1st Jan but that was cause of a family birthday. Probably wont see him till Xmas or next Jan. I have no ill feelings, its life. I just wish He'd try remember where he came from, where we came from. It was his 35th birthday just last week but all I could do was just send a message saying happy bday, theres nothing else I can do now. Sometimes bonds just sever and never come back

How to sum up why Persona 4 is so great in one video.

[@sunset_midnight439]

This is the ultimate tribute to Persona 4, and it's a pretty amazing one at that. It's saddens me to say that it's over but it was an amazing story, with characters that will stick with me for years to come, the concept was excellent and the add on story in P4G was even better. Persona 4, it's characters and every moment of humanity, acceptance and friendship will reside in my heart. So I say goodbye to the Persona 4 era ..but it's never truly goodbye if you reside within my very soul. Thank you for making this amazing piece of art my friend, you are truly an amazing editor, thank you for making this.

[@muhammaddestin1092]

so sad that everyone has a bad behavior in their own life . :( this game is to teach us about accept our bad behavior because we're one . "you're me , and I'm you. we are one ."

[@dragon19954]

+Muhammad Destin T.T It's true

Exactly, no one is 100% good, what make us good people is accept that we have a bad side, and think is that what make us growing up

[@backgroundnpc9631]

I think my favorite part is how there are exactly enough downward musical tumbles starting at 0:24 for every party member to have their Persona summoning scene and then exactly enough answering cues right afterward for all their shadow selves (barring Yu, who instead gets a power-up transition into the next part of the song). *Chef's kiss*

1:30 best part of the song

[@MementoMortis21]

+Cameron Bethel But unfortunately correlating with, by far, the most depressing scene of the game/anime. I don't know of anyone who made it that far into the story who didn't die a bit on the inside during that scene, despite how it eventually turns out.

Sometimes it was a bit too sped up, but it was really well edited most of the time, the clips fit amazingly with the feeling of the song

A great tribute to one of the greatest games of all time using the greatest boss theme of all time

[@jackthebeeenthusiast]

I’ll confess right here, and right now: in the beginning, I thought Teddie sucked at looking cute. He didn’t looked ugly or scary in the least, I just thought that maybe he could do a better job at looking like a cute teddy bear. But seeing he acting all playful and happy at 4:55 even after all that happened... It changed my mind completely

[@EvelynWn]

That was beautiful. Thank you.

Wow. No other game has struck me harder then Persona 4. It felt like I had a bond with these people. As if they were my friends. After finishing it, I felt empty. But life is just like that. Not everyone will stay, it's about the moments that you had during the game. The people at Atlus damn well knew what they were doing.

[@PixelTunes1010]

I just realized this sounds a lot like Never More

[@ekdeans6618]

Never More and all 3 versions of I'll Face Myself use similar melodies at certain parts, as do Corner of Memories (the title theme), Alone (the house theme in November/December), Genesis (Izanami-no-Okami's theme) and many of the tracks from the Reincarnation album. It's only fitting that the first song you hear is both the boss theme, and the last song you hear.

[@digitool5944]

@@ekdeans6618 they also use the chorus line for Backside of the TV at some point during the Battle version and this version

[@PattieHD]

New Days also has the same melody as Never More. Shoji Meguro is amazing with leitmotifs, all 3 Persona games he's worked in and SMT Nocturne really rely on his leitmotifs for their emotional impact

For me it was the music. I first heard the original "I'll Face Myself" in an indie game, and I was determined to find the source. Haven't played it yet but have seen parts of lets plays and I'm determined to get the golden version for the vita.

[@sasukes2938]

Techy2112 Do you have a vita?

[@Techy2112]

No, but I will.... someday. I know it sound stupid to get a game system for just one game that was remade, but I heard there are so many other good games on it that I could get for it.

The sped up footage is a bit much. Just use shorter clips next time. EDIT: Upon second viewing, while it is noticeable in a lot of areas, the only real big offender is Dojima walking in the hospital, around a minute and a half in. It kind of ruins the mood to see him hobbling so quickly.

[@Hi_Jr]

+Magatsu Orpheus He's speed hobbling, you can get a ticket for that

[@TAMAMO-VIRUS]

Don't forget HUI, hobbling under the influence. (since he was probably on some hospital medication)

[@AventurasEMG]

1:10

[@pyrrhusnikos242]

This would have been a great video if an extended version of the song had been used to avoid having to run almost every clip at 5x speed. Seriously, the fast movement was distracting and slightly nauseating (in a literal sense, I don't get motion sickness very often but somehow the sped-up motion triggered it). I would strongly suggest slowing the clips down to normal speed and overlaying them on a longer version of the song, and it would be perfect.

[@Jimmy1st100]

With persona 4 only Adachi and morooka really annoy me (morooka/king moron) most characters are loveable or just don't like them for obvious reasons like mitsuo

[@Jimmy1st100]

I really like p4 because I like the more upbeat feeling for majority of them game unlike p3 where it's a lot more sad and p5 where it will be more anger probably

[@sonicyouth15]

Why is it so hard to start watching the non-golden series in English dub? I'm getting no search results for episode 1....Golden is on Crunchyroll, but I think it's in Japanese, and I only have Persona 4, without the golden, so I kinda don't want to get involved with Marie and other extra stuff.
