PERSONA 5 FOR THE FIRST TIME!! (Day 1)

[@JCbackfireStreams]

VODS ARE NOW A THING IN 2023... From now on, all major streams will be archived on this channel for your viewing pleasure! :D

[@remnantryku7112]

When you think you're done playing Persona 5 & watching playthroughs...and then you come across another playthrough and watch it...and then you start up the game and play it again...then you watch another playthrough...then you pick up the game again... Damn, this game is too good.

[@minkhollow]

Fun Fact: You can actually choose 'I do not agree' to the 'this is a work of fiction' disclaimer. Aaaaand you get thrown back out to the main menu.

[@3of6mylove]

Yeah. Way to break my immersion, I wanted to believe it was non-fiction and summon personas irl, and clearly that disclaimer is why I can't.

[@VanagloriaVT]

@@3of6mylove Its all about your cognition

[@harrylarry6324]

The reason they did this was to avoid lawsuits in Japan, as their law hates when people describe specific actual political problems in areas that are actually in Japan. And this game depicted real locations from Japan within this game. They pretty much had to let the player know that nothing similar described in game happened in these locations, and had to have them acknowledge this as such so those real locations didn’t get a bad rep because of fictional events in a video game.

[@Shinyman5000]

43:05 I laughed my ass off at how Joker knew he needed to calm down XD

[@TheLostSheep578]

I thought bro was about to have a heart attack about being able to switch targets 😅

[@crunchy303]

Came here to relive the nostalgia after he finished the game. Thank You so much JC!

[@transcendentalanarchy]

Same here, time to finally watch all the confidants

[@jonathancapps1103]

I suspect that it's easier for Japanese and people familiar with Tokyo, but it seems to take a lot of people some time to realize that they need to pay attention to the signs in the subway. I think a lot of people are used to games holding their hand and providing hud icons showing where to go.

[@Sumire_Yosh1zawa]

200 viewers?!?! What??? 2.8k in last stream. I feel that it is safe to say this series is a major success.

[@noisepollution4473]

I love the fact that you play games outside of your comfort zone. Watching someone experience something I think is cool for the first time with zero preconceived notions about it is exciting!

[@meikisaragi1445]

Damn. I enjoyed your reactions on this game. Edit: when ryuji appeared and chat goes "for real" I laugh so hard

[@JJKMagic]

I honestly forgot how f*cking cool this game is, and how brilliant reactions are from people who have absolutely no clue what the game is about xD

[@MrTommygunz420]

I always love stumbling across Persona Virgins playing this one first; every time I see it go from Sae to the start of the flashback I think to myself "Well time to start 70 hours of laughing at their complete confusion until November 20th😂"

[@soulnha]

43:10 I LOVE THIS TIMING LOL

[@seomews]

i've been trying to find more p5r vods to watch and i can just tell with your energy that this is gonna be a good one. i hope you enjoy the game as much as i did! cant wait to see all your reactions edit: already laughing my ass off at 43:10 LMAOOO

[@GregGarciaHouse]

42:33 No. Senpai acurate translation is “senior” or “superior mate”

[@wesleyc5713]

Who here came back to see this after JC finished P5R 👏

[@murdockgamingsv]

😅 I thought I was the only one, I'm surprised to see the number of viewers at the beginning, I'm very happy for JC

[@yuzuru5014]

Man seeing someone doing a blind reaction is fresh

[@instinctive3066]

The end of an era, thanks again for streaming this entire game (didn't expect it to take as long as it did) so I'm glad this was done

[@jonathancapps1103]

"It's like the duo battles in Pokémon!" Persona, and SMT games in general, is just Pokémon for mature audiences.

[@todayisthedayofsalvation]

Actually Pokémon is just Persona and SMT for younger audiences

[@jonathancapps1103]

@@todayisthedayofsalvation SMT was first, true. But most people have encountered Pokémon first.

[@todayisthedayofsalvation]

@@jonathancapps1103 that is based on personal experience rather than a fact, you are correct though, people just love Pokémon😂

[@Thundermaceaus]

I just watched the compilation and now im here watching the vods.

[@BigJMC]

I love watching JC get confused over everything 😂

[@itsjabari]

2:19:08 close enough

[@DoesRocksFloat]

2:19:10 April 2024 is almost over and he hasn't beaten it yet. Estimate was too generous.

[@diabolic_ghastly]

He did take a 6 month break 😅

[@araman-v]

what a journey

[@daisy3525]

😂😭😂😭 no because me 🤝 chat. It wasn't for 35 minutes, for sure, but i definitely got lost for a while there the fiest time, too. I ran around so much looking for ginza gate 🤣

[@DerekMckean]

Welcome to the KZbin algorithm! Persona 5 is still a very relevant game to play in 2023 as its finalized version called Persona 5: The Royal came out in 2019 and it's first version just called Persona 5 came out in 2016. So even though you missed it in 2016, the game still has enough momentum to get you recommended by the KZbin Algorithm. I don't know you. You came up in my recommended, so congratulations. I hope more people find you and KZbin recommended you to other people. For a person with 1.5k, this may be your series that gets you to 10k! Persona 5 -- very smart choice. Also Final Fantasy XVI (action based game) will also be another hot ticket to bring in more of the Japanese RPG fanbase.

[@SSlash]

Yo idk if you found out later or what but I found the comment about 1.5 really funny cus this is just the vod channel and he has like 200k on the main 😂

[@DerekMckean]

@@SSlash it is funny. VOD channels are hit or miss. Cynical fir example has a huge following on his TheGamersJoint channel while his gaming channel is relatively small.

[@zyjzyj0506]

Me too. Every time continue the game I would played the main menu for 5 minutes.

[@powd3r392]

man seeing u play this game makes me so happy wth

[@adrienrodriguez250]

VOD watchers unite!

[@thetrickster834]

He finished it let's gooo

[@vanpirebaby]

i know ppl are saying they are 17 but the game lasts over a year so technically they age up over that time period

[@rhettmitchell]

Only Haru and Makoto end up being of age by the end of the game. Maybe Akechi

[@woods6720]

winter is so cute

[@weertangel7231]

And so another is dragged into the depth of the Persona universe... Welcome! I hope u have a blast with the game, might wanna look up some stuff about japanese customs, couse u'll get thrown into them without warning.

[@SilverShinobi23]

I know this is just something minor, but the resub sound reminds me of the Rare Drop noise from PSO2, that's a really nice touch

[@SSlash]

I think it literally is, the big dono alert is the pso2 stage clear music or something along the lines 😂

[@user-vc6bq2dp5z]

Honestly the best tutorial i would endure repeatedly

[@namuhami2568]

Vods on KZbin go hard

[@alleycat2297]

the absolute chokehold persona 5 has on me is unmatched

[@SillylittleTurtle]

Wasn't expecting daredevil at the start lmfao

[@emptynight4861]

Welp YT thought it would be a good idea to wait till you finish the game to recommend it to me lmao. Guess I know what I'm watching for the next week.

[@TheWehzy]

Oh man i know what im gonna watch tonight.

[@MrTommygunz420]

Well, based off the first 1:45:00 or so (and the number of gifted subs,) I assume you will be getting to the rest of the series eventually now. I have never finished 3(not having direct control of party members I just couldn't "reload and pray" anymore, but the remake coming in February I will be starting on within hours of release because I'm sure they're going to fix that.) Aside from a few Cringe AF dates like the school camping trip and beach day I actually liked 4's story better too(because it's in the country and you transfer from the city instead;) but the "Golden" content/Marie isn't woven in anywhere near as well as they worked Yoshizawa and Maruki into this one for the Royal content.

[@MrTommygunz420]

And yes; I have watched several others be stuck over 40 minutes on the transfer to get to school the first time (probably a good 8-10 minutes myself the first time.)

[@jonathancapps1103]

Thx for posting this on YT. I really prefer it to the Twitch app. And I have a paid YT acct, so no commercials ;)

[@TheAj1028]

Here I am again Fighting off the PPD by any means necessary lmao

[@tyrenbandy9036]

Love the content happy that the vods are being moved over here from twitch my internet isn't good enough to watch anything on twitch and in the name of turn based games like persona and pokemon have you ever considered playing a fire emblem game I think you'd enjoy them keep up the great content and take care

[@Ocerkin]

thumbs up for playing my personal #1 best game of all time, i just found your channel while listening to persona 5 music when youtube redirected me here, and im going to stick around at least for the persona 5 playthrough, lets see if you can create a new fan in me :) have fun and buckle up, the music goes hard here

[@RealDeepDiveYT]

1:44:49

[@DominatorElite4]

People saying this game is darker it is but persona 3 is dark as well

[@y2m3e.45]

Persona 3 definitely has a darker vibe throughout most of the game. I would say the theme is darker too, even though p5 does deal with a myriad of issues

[@38achref26]

persona 3 is way darker than this

[@boss.mimoto6570]

They are both dark in a different way, I think. P3 is about mortality, P5 is about s o c i e t y

[@quelseydilla]

Tomorrow is the final stream... who else is here right now? 😂

[@The_real_Shapiro]

I've played the game so much. It's so weird to see gameplay without Morgana

[@Ffantasy501Bashy]

Hot take, watching Vods are way better than watching Live

[@MrTommygunz420]

It's like when DVR's first came out and being able to skip their bathroom breaks/snacks (and pause while you do the same too)

[@johnfloyd1892]

Where there is smoke, there is firecracker. If you know who the VA for the protag is and watched a certain abridged series you'll get😂😂

[@LumiLunar]

2:19:10 little does JC know April 2024 still wasn’t right

[@The_real_Shapiro]

For real

[@haziee3108]

Aww so cute my cat's named winter too :D

[@tunasub2398]

Lord just started a new playthrough with the neo featherman suits and its 10x better to see em so fuckin cool 😭😭😭

[@DanielBraganca-z8c]

One of my favourite games 😍😍

FINALLYYY

Let's gooo :D

[@boss.mimoto6570]

It’s interesting to see someone you have completely none knowledge about JRPGs trying it for the first time

[@critical_6164]

Hmm

[@Kazeromaru]

In an hour I've had 50+ advertisements, almost every 5-10 minutes. Can't watch this crap, thanks youtube you're still not getting my money with premium.

[@lisahenry20]

I've heard a lot of people complaining about the number of ads they get but I've never had an issue. Even for a 2+ hour video, I get one or two ads at the beginning and then maybe one or two during the video and that's it. For this video, I've had no ads.
