  1. the fact you can choose which skill to inherit when doing fusion instead of frustrating (not so) random skill inherited system, Make the Remake worth playing.
    God I hate teaching dia and diarama so I have higher chance passing the skill that I want

  2. Great vid, one day I will get around to play a Persona game.

    ( sidenote: have you read Fukumoto's Ten- the nice guy path to tenho and The world is mine by Hideki Arai ( inspired Fire Force)?.

  3. Algo comment. Good video. You really nailed the specific way I feel about P4 and P5. I really like those games, but they've always suffered from losing the plot a bit compared to P3. The loss of the strong, singular theme is really felt.

    I've got some high hopes for Persona 6 based on Reload, so maybe it'll pull the franchise back up for me.

  4. Even though I don't share the same sentiments about the ending, Persona 3 Reload sits comfortably as my 2nd favorite game of all time. I enjoyed this video and learned a decent bit about the Persona series as someone who started with Persona 5. I feel the need to clarify that Persona 5 is not my favorite game of all time lmao.

  5. Barely two minutes in and already I'm impressed (again) with everything about your production. You're getting very good at this YouTube thing. (so much so I've actually gone back an started from the beginning again) Smart, funny, reflective, insightful…great stuff.
