Persona 4: Unused Content

[@BigKlingy]

I wanted to do a pinned comment on this, but I wanted it to be relevant to the video. If you want to see my thoughts on the new Pokemon games, I might do a community post. Can you guys see those? Anyway, a couple of thoughts I couldn't fit into the video: Ryotaro Dojima's Japanese voice actor has sadly passed away now, but he was the voice of Professor Oak in the Pokemon anime. Yu Narukami's Jp VA is the official dub voice of Elijah Wood and a few other big Hollywood stars. Nanako's Japanese VA is Estelle in the Trails series, most people already know that Romi Park is Edward Elric in FMA (so she does a much better job of sounding male than Naoto's English VA), and Rise's VA is very well-known for playing Tsunderes. (Which Rise isn't, most of the time) TCRF mentions some unused story scenes in Golden where the party talks about a typhoon, that are apparently fully functional but have no voices. I didn't include this in the video because I couldn't find any concrete evidence of it elsewhere and TCRF had no citation for it. And one regarding further P4 bonus videos. I think I have the whole Drama Sun SL recorded, but I was holding off in case anyone wanted it to include Yumi's summer shrine visit. This would require me to play much further into a new file just to record this one scene. Does anyone really want to see this? (Non-party members don't get yukatas) I DO have her Christmas Eve scene recorded.

So yeah, just aknowledging Gay people exists on those games was a win, and that's one of the reasons why people felt very sad about Joker not having any gay relationship and P5 having almost none LGBTQ representation at all.

Having a social link with izanami would maybe make the last day dungeon and true ending a little less left field

[@kirby1781]

At least they fixed that in Portable...if you're female. Seeing how P4 and P5 have added non traditional tarot cards, I wouldn't mind them using those in a metaphorical remake to let both sides have all the party members, maybe add a few more to the female so the genders feel unique or just have everyone for both sides. Of course this means being able to have platonic relationships with all the girls AND probably make bonding easier, maybe by just removing the reverse feature.

Yosuke being a romantic option would be interesting as it would also break his offensive demeanor towards Kanji entirely, I really hate how he keeps picking on the guy for being "supposedly gay".

Seriously, this. Even scrapping it, I wanted some kind of resolution with those two.

[@Apollyon47]

and I'm glad they didn't add that.

[@elysilium]

Honestly, I feel like it could’ve actually add more meat to the romance route. The idea of unpacking internalised (externalised, in Yosuke’s case) is an occasional trope in gay media, where a presumably straight man is homophobic/has homophobic tendencies, but then has to come to terms with his own homosexual feelings (even though it goes against his pre-established beliefs). I think that’d be pretty interesting, but honestly I hated all the other romance routes in P4 so I’d kind of take anything.

[@d-o-k-i]

​@@MrMonochromatic So I know these comments are a bit old, but I just wanted to say that, as someone whose favorite game is P4 and has played it through multiple times over the years... Yosuke and Kanji are shown to grow significantly closer over the course of the game, albeit subtly. Unfortunately a lot of the growth in their dynamic is hidden in optional dungeon conversations, so if you don't have both of them in your party and choose to talk to them, you won't necessarily pick up on that. :C But Yosuke does show that he's more comfortable around Kanji as early as June/July when he jokes about if Kanji is into Teddie (AFAIK in Japanese media, that kind of needling about "OOOOOOH, WHO'S YOUR TYPE??? :D" is intended as affectionate banter, so that probably doesn't come off like obnoxious homophobic teasing as it might in the US). Not to mention that, in Persona Q - which was written by the Persona team and is considered canon - Yosuke has a line where he reassures Kanji by saying that it's okay if men check out other men and the only issue is if you make a huge deal out of it. I think that also shows a significant amount of growth in just a couple more months (PQ takes place right after the group date cafe in September, IIRC). That said, I do agree with everyone here that it would have been nice to have a more clear acknowledgment/apology concerning Yosuke's earlier homophobia - though, again, I don't think him being homophobic is unrealistic considering the original game came out in 2008 and Yosuke is someone who desperately wants to fit in and be 'cool' in a sexist society. And I'm saying this as someone who was out as gay during that time: Yosuke is... honestly pretty mild with his homophobia for that era? And if you look for it, at least Yosuke does spend most of the second half of the original game/the sequels hyping Kanji up and supporting him instead of tearing him down. It's subtle growth, but it's there, IMO. That said, I've never stopped being bitter over Atlus taking out the romantic Yosuke social link. :| Yosuke is DEFINITELY written as a closeted bi or gay man, in my opinion, and that continues into the sequels haha.

[@zxshadowxz]

The thing that pisses me off about this the most, is that the fact there’s English voice lines would imply the romance was cut late into the game, so it’s doubtful they rewrote Yosuke’s character arc outside of removing that “part.” Which would mean that Yosuke was extremely literally written with it being homophobic projection in mind, so they literally just removed the part where he acknowledges and starts to accept it…in the game about accepting the hard truth-

[@peaceofyoshi]

My best guess for the Margaret lines is that during the boss fight, she was meant to taunt you as opposed to praising you. The messages about wanting to kill you or the direct insults would precede the Megidolaon, and her line about "If you wanted to die, just ask" was probably meant to precede the Yoshitsune phase. Or maybe it was meant to be like Elizabeth where she had "rules" and said these when they were broken. Perhaps if you brought the Omnipotent Orb?

It has always been odd that Yosuke ISN’T romanceable in P4G. A lot of his dialogue could be interpreted as him being very deeply closeted or upset by what he’s realizing about himself. Idk, I think he’s at least bi, and it seems like the cut content confirms that a bit.

Something else interesting that isn't unused but you'd never get the chance to see: The shadowy Izanagi you use in the dream sequence is named "Black Izanami" (sic), and is identical to a Level 1 Izanagi, except with no weakness and 99 Agility. Similarly, Izanagi-no-Okami's appearance in the final battle is actually a separate Persona named "Okami", who has 16 in all stats (exactly 1/5th of normal), and has Myriad Truths and Infinite Endure.

25:50 This is interesting, because this means the portraits would have been the same style as P3, which showed the characters almost down to the waist, allowing for the artists to dramatically change their poses and body language. I do kind of miss that approach, especially since P5 only shows their heads, but that makes sense because the character models are able to show emotion much better than the ps2 models. Also, the P3 portraits took up half the screen, including behind the text box, which could be seen as unnecessary clutter.

[@BigKlingy]

Royal improved the portrait expressiveness a lot, I feel. It'd be very awkward to go back to P5 Vanilla's portraits now. Anyway, the portraits in the one are technically that length all the time, they're just hidden by alpha. Maybe they realized they didn't have enough screen space for that.

Also poor Chisato, relegated to a stock photo, or at least something not even in the style. And even though that photo of Adachi is a previous design, headcanoning it into something in-universe is much more hilarious. Was going to say this was the end but I guess not. If there needs to be a separate video for that, then dear god there must be a lot.

[@BigKlingy]

It's pretty strange that P4 doesn't have dialogue cut-ins. Yet more evidence it was made on a tiny budget, I guess. So on the cut story dialogue, it's not that revealing, but it's still interesting. The main takeaway? Even the creators knew how long the prologue was, since about 70% of the cut lines are from the first two weeks of story.

I once believed this, but there hasn't been any direct confirmation that it was originally planned to be him. The artbook does specifically say it wasn't originally Adachi. Dojima is a really good candidate, and I can see it being him originally. But there hasn't been any direct confirmation. I had an idea that if he was the killer, his motive would've been trying to make others feel the pain he did when he lost his wife. First victim was Namatame's lover, second was Yosuke's crush. The rest were incidental/copycats. I don't know why he'd have let Namatame keep doing what he did though, he doesn't have the "everything's a game!" mindset Adachi has.

Nice video, I wanted to share a thing about the "Messenger" enemies. In japanese, they have completely different names. They don't share that "Messenger" bit and they seem more like description than actual names. All of them can be translated with "Someone who...". I still have no clue what they were supposed to be, but it's pretty interesting that they changed those names this much even if they went unused. Since they're four, I think they might be related to those "Gatekeepers", but who knows.

[@FlipzMCL]

I'm curious if any of the unused Basalt enemies from this game showed up in PQ or PQ2 at all? As cool as the Shadow designs can be, the nature of there being so many pallet swaps and similar names makes it a bit difficult for me to remember off the top of my head if any of those names look familiar. Sideways Rise Glasses: one of the cut-ins that used the very early Rise design had her facing sideways, maybe that's how her portrait was meant to be posed all the time and those glasses are a remnant of that? Unused P3 fanfare: Unless my ears are deceiving me, I think this might be an attempt to reorchestrate the opening notes of the opening version of Burn My Dread as some sort of upbeat victory fanfare; it _really_ sounds bad to me, though, so I'm glad that P3 went with what it actually used. That said, it also makes me think of the opening notes in the instrumentation of Heartbeat Heartbreak and Signs of Love, so it might just be that the unused fanfare just uses notes and melodic movements that are common in Persona music in general rather than referencing anything specific.

[@BigKlingy]

It doesn't seem like any of these Basalts are in Q. Q only used Shadows that appeared in P3 and 4. It could be. It sounds like the level up theme of a lot of mainline SMT games, at least the PS2 ones.

Xp 22:20- That broke me. I figured that's what it was going to be, but actually seeing that was great. Xp 24:12- Wonder how much fun you had with that dummy message. 31:27- What's with those first two being so aggressive about your garden? Also your thoughts on that last one given it's a pun? I always found unused content in games really cool. They're glimpses at looking at all of devs' thought processes and all of their ideas for a game. Whenever I watch videos like these I have to wonder what unused content lies within other games, especially ones that are more obscure or haven't been explored as much with unused content. Also found that bit about why they leave unused content in; Didn't realize trying to remove stuff like that could cause issues like that. In other news, I guess I have to address the elephant in the room in regards to recent events with Pokemon? So my thoughts on that, the new Pokemon Snap game looks fun. Not sure if I'll get it myself given I'm probably on a tighter budget at the moment in regards to games at the moment, but Snap does look very tempting. Next up are the Diamond and Pearl Remakes, which seem interesting so far. Granted I'm going to be waiting for further trailers and details to see if I'll actually get them given I'm still a bit jaded with certain aspects of GF's design philosophy , but if the remakes end up looking promising, I'll give those games an honest shot. Hopefully these remakes take a ton of elements from Platinum since while I still love the OG D&P games as they were the first Pokemon games I became excited for and happy to get (have no recollection of getting the Gen 3 games despite growing up with them), Platinum fixes so many issues with the base games and hope the remakes tackle those base issues too (and also fix up other issues that Platinum never addressed). And then there's the Arceus game for 2022 that completely caught me off guard; I figured they would give Arceus some more prominence in the Gen 4 remakes given how his event completely got shafted, but to get an entire game was a surprise. Really looks promising given how it's set in Sinnoh's past, which might allow us to explore more of the lore featured in the library. Also it's truly interesting with their starter line up to being ones from different regions. Granted this decision has left me in a tight spot to pick a favorite child between Cyndaquil and Oshawott (two of my most favorite starters), but I can delay on that issue until next year. However I will also will be approaching this game with cautious curiosity and will wait for a greater amount of information on it before if I decide to get it.

[@BigKlingy]

1:26 If I had to guess, I'd imagine most VAs aren't aware of which lines are cut and which aren't. There's a ton of unused lines that got dubbed and the VAs delivery doesn't seem any different from uncut lines, and considering Claude's VA in Three Houses was in the dark about a lot of the plot until he played the game himself, I'd imagine a lot of VAs don't know much besides the scripts they're given. 13:14 They're similar but I prefer Sam Riegel's, although I'm biased because I've heard him in more media and he's Teddie in all the spinoffs. 22:20 I think she's a bit beyond "really hurt" at this point... 31:27 Just translators being silly. The reasons for leaving things in is speculation on my part but having done programming courses I feel it's probably accurate. You never know when removing one line of code will break something else, so often it's safest just to leave things in if no-one's going to see them (without hacking).

[@jaredfayette2567]

@@BigKlingy Yeah that makes sense with the VAs there. I still like the idea of one VA really liking a certain line that they did and then get a slight smile later on seeing it again. I agree with you in liking Sam Riegel’s performance. Granted I’m probably bias too since your P4G LP was my first proper and in depth exposure to Teddie. Even so I think Reigel’s work fits him better. I’m pretty sure Chie has transcended into a new level of pain after Team Rocketing herself. Still, seeing that was probably the highlight of my day with how that Galactic Punt failed so hilariously. Also I knew the translators were just being silly.

I remember when I looked through the cutscenes code when you were looking for info for Marie that there were areas that had flags for social links breaking and reversing but only for female characters. There was also some names that never appeared in the game which made me think they were code names or the names just changed. Wasn't able to find more because most of the code was extremely hard to understand. I think somewhere in the line of getting the code and decoding it (since it was in a format my computer couldn't read) that something went wrong. I refuse to believe they actually wrote the code in such a way because that would be complete incompetence.

Did they just go to a random French article or something? 29:14 That is a really good portrait. As for the Pokemon stuff revealed today, I'm looking forward to Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, but I am a bit worried that they might take too much from DP opposed to Platinum, particularly with the Regional Dex and stuff added to the plot. Although I at least have a bit of hope for the Dex, since they Porygon-Z was in the trailer despite not being available in DP until post-game. Of course, this might not mean anything, but I do think it would be an odd choice to include it if it's not available in the main game. I'm looking forward to Legends: Arceus even more. While we still barely know anything about it, the things we have seen are already exciting. I mean, we might finally be free from Gen 1 pandering! They easily could have gone with Charmander instead of Cyndaquil, so the fact that they didn't is already a lot. I'm also glad to see Arceus finally used for something significant in the mainline games. Of course, they certainly need to show more (particularly about the story), but there is a ton of potential. Anyway, the thing I like most about this is the fact that it kind of blows the doors open for ideas for future games.
