Hey what's Persona 4 Arena? "Well you see, it's a spinoff of a spinoff of a reboot of a game based on a novel".
@Arexion52934 жыл бұрын
"It is a spin-off canonical story sequel to a fourth installment in a spin-off series, which has heavily distanced itself from its roots since the third installment, while still having indications that it is supposed to take place in the same story continuity established by the spin-off the spin-off series based itself upon. So it is a spin-off of a sequel of an entry that had a director change and thus ceased being anything like its previous installments, which were a spin-off of a what-if take on a reboot based on a video game adaption of a novel."

Seriously good stuff. It's about time someone took the Persona stories and looked at them beyond skin-deep. I'm only sad it didn't start off with Shin Megami Tensei itself, but all in due time I guess. Also I'm reminded how the first SMT takes a looot out of old Dungeons & Dragons(the original 1974 edition), which also relied on the alignment of Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic, and where the modus operandi was, in fact, also to dungeon crawl and negotiate with monsters, convincing them to join your cause! It's honestly one of the truest simulations of oldschool D&D made into a video game.
The PS1 Persona games might not be as slick and smooth as the newer games, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love them a thousand times more. Persona 1 in particularly is so woefully underrated- it has some of the most incredible and unique story ideas and psychedelic imagery I’ve ever seen in gaming. It’s such a lovely game, and really needs more attention.

I don't think Mae is the superego. Mary felt abandoned by her mother, which is why her shadow is a child. That's when she lost herself. Mae and Maggie are both her Shadow. Shadows are not necessarily destructive towards others, it can also be directed at themselves. Mae is weakness. Pandora should probably be seen as her current and mutated shadow. Maggie and Mae only care about the original trauma, the mother. That's all they know. Pandora though, have moved on, but since she didn't properly deal with the trauma, it corrupted her, and she suffered from other traumas as well, like not being popular in school.

It was a pretty good take on how the series begun and how much it took for Megaten to come to the west, and the analisis on themes of the game and psichology were pretty joyful to hear, a really good video all around. If i have to take something to grasp it would be the ending and this is my personal take on it, like you say in the bad ending of the game your character doesn´t learn nothing and for that he can´t release his full potential but here is the kicker not everyone made it to that ending, Maki or Mary is nowhere to be seen and it´s implied that she died(full especulation on that part) but even if she lives trough her sickness, you destroy her multiples selfs and killed her mother what turns you... well into a monster. So in my opinion you´re not the same person at the end of boths endings. now to part 2

love the video, but I'm surprised you didn't talk about threat escalation, wherein most RPG and stores the great threat would be an evil newborn god seeking to rewrite the world, (most every JRPG final boss) Person doesn't stop there and it argues the worse threat comes from within having the final battle be about helping a friend discover her true self. because this is what the story is realy about.

Lol I played Persona 1 like 5 times because I wanted Chris, and would always end up with a different character. Persona 1 was/is so underrated.

Nice to see a vid on Persona 1. No one ever talks about 1 or 2.

Philomon’s voice actor and the way annunciates just cracks me up every time. I don’t know why. It’s amazing unintentional comedy.

Thanks! I would guess because it's still a pretty niche series.

@@SnicketySlice Minor correction. SMT: If isn't actually alternative... reality? Title come from movie what was inspiration for this game. Actually profesor Otsuki, who most likely was behind whole event, mention that he did take inspiration from protagonist of first game. As we do know from mainline SMT, Stephen who work on teleportation discovered expanding data cluster after the proces. Future research reveled that it contain cognitive data in form of dreamlike reality. He start exploring this "Expanse" using volunteers from occult, until one day teleportation accident summon the demon into real world. He was crimpled and his higher ups attempted to usurp technology for malicious reasons. As such he destroy the data and hide himself in Expanse, leaking program what could activate system remotely. Corporation owning system attempt to take control with security AI, but it was destroyed by random teenagers transposing Expanse (post-apocalyptic Tokyo). Same happen also when alternative copies of Expanse were created (SMTIII, DDS). After incident where whole school was teleported into expanse, company SEBEC start researching Demon Summoning Program and create own version known as Deva System, what later was developed by Nanjo (P2) and Kirio Groups (P3), alongside who ever is behind Junes (P4). From Persona V it is implied that Persona System could be reintegrated into main research.

Geez. I came here to try and figure out what happens in Persona 1 without playing it, and I ended up learning about a study on human consciousness. Not that I’m complaining. It’s all really interesting.
