Persona openings try to stay subtle but interesting and mysterious enough for you to wonder what it might be about. Then on a rematch, after playing though the whole game you'll notice how they nod to critical moments throughout the story, without spoiling anything, which is brilliant. Like a totally different opening after you've experienced it.
Also Kuma means bear
😎👍🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Also, if you were kinda weirded out by the apparent suicide vibe in P3 with the "guns;" the _Persona_ games delve heavily into Jungian Psychology/Philosophy. Therefore, only through the "Death of the Self" can the true Power of the Subconcious be unleashed...
I am now remotivated to play Persona 3 Reload again.
P3 fes better
@@lilshinobu bro literally it isn't lol. Also nobody really asked
The Answer will becoming to Reload soon
@@fel524 dog water "improved" osts.. even some character sprites look off like Yukari and fuuka
@@fel524 It is. Reload is nonsense. It made terrible changes and ruined scenes.
NEVER, trust betterhelp, I urge anyone who isn't aware who stumbles onto this video, to actually research them. They ain't good, DO NOT FALL FOR THEM.
i second this DO NOT USE BETTER HELP THEY ARE CORRUPT
This! They are SUPER shady
Whats betterhelp?
SO that why Deathbattle keeps advertising them
@@jackjohnson8305 suppose to be some therapist organisation
I have never clicked so fast in my life.
😂 🤝
Fr bro fr
Yooooo same
ME TOO 😭
Same 😂
DO NOT TRUST BETTER HELP. Please look up what they have done.
SECONDING THIS. Please do not use it guys! They aren't qualified and pretty sure none of them are licensed.
I've been waiting for this. Surprised to see Ken put Persona 2 (PSP) on top, that's rare. Very good duology and underrated in the community so nice to see for a change lol.
Agreed
*also to be fair, these are openings, not trailers, openings are the clips you see before you start a movie/show/game, pretty sure you wouldn't like it if you watched a show for the first time, and the first thing you see in the opening is a character death that happens halfway, or that this one character is some secret relative or whatever. Pretty sure it's just to get you in the mood right before you start.*
Notice how people only say this kind of stuff when people like 1 and 2 more, it’s almost as if they’re allowed to have their own opinion that’s different from yours.
i think they know what an opening is…
@@Tasty_Tango45 *funny enough, I've only played 5, tho only a couple hours of it.*
@@Tasty_Tango45 Did the OP comment say Persona A is better or worse than Persona B? Their comment is about Openings vs Trailers, and I agree with them. P5 was my introduction to the Persona series but I wouldn't have been that interested in playing it if the first thing I saw was that opening sequence because it says almost nothing about the plot. It was the trailer that got me hooked.
Love it! For the first two games that had all the japanese text, I'm sure you can turn on closed captioning to get the english text for those parts but it's mostly philosophical quotes
They do also exist in english but that compilation video didn't have it
Closed captions don’t always work. CZcams does it automatically in the original language but if the creator doesn’t upload a transcript then you can’t get the CC. 🤗🙂
Rap is actually a big part of Persona 3. They hired a rapper called Lotus Juice to make the ost sound more 'youthful'. Lotus basically went "Thats kinda silly but I'll do my best anyway" and the soundtrack for 3 features him heavily and its surprisingly great.
He also help with some English lyric refinement in other games, I think. Definitely at least in Persona 5 Scramble. There’s a recording of him helping Lynn with the opening and demo recordings of him singing the theme
Lotus Juice has done a lot of backing vocals in a lot of other modern Persona games too, like the Persona Q duology and even did a song in the Persona 4 Golden anime adaptation that plays during the fight between Yu and Adachi called Ying Yang.
24:15 That's still Teddie! In Japanese they call him Kuma which means Bear.
😎👍🙂
Fun fact!
In the English localization, in one of the first conversations between Yosuke and Teddie in the TV world, they have the following (paraphrased) exchange
Yosuke: "You got a name?"
Teddie: "...Teddie."
Yosuke: "*groan* Figures..."
Something that wasn't translated, was Japanese Teddie's habit of adding "-Kuma" to the end of every sentence. So for example, he might say things like "How are you doing-Kuma?" or "It's a nice day outside-Kuma!"
Thus, in Japanese, the exchange is a little closer to:
Yosuke: "You got a name?"
Kuma: "...-Kuma."
Yosuke: "*groan* Figures..."
Implying that Teddie/Kuma didn't actually have a name prior to that conversation. He just slapped "-Kuma" onto the end of his (lack of) sentence out of habit and that just kinda become is name from there.
Once again, the whole shooting yourself in the head thing in Everything Persona 3 is how the characters summon their persona, related to the games overall themes of Mortality 💀( 11:52 Also the Lotus Juice rapping has been a mainstay to the series since 3)
7:45 dam you got the plot for both persona 2 right on the money
For p4 people like well me call the p4 group the Scooby Doo gang
When you know the story you understand why I'm saying this
I'm putting this here for people getting confused the boy inside Teddie that Teddie he grow a human body by working out
I'm not lying
Better Help is a known scam, their therapists are _not_ licensed.
Literally. Two seconds of research will turn up exactly how bad they are
24:24 “I thought it was Teddie?”
It is in English. Kuma is his Japanese name that literally just means “Bear” xD
So Teddie started off as a sentient bear suit like no person inside him just a living suit. Then through(I kid you not) exercise basically willed himself a body which is the person you see in the suit that’s still teddie. Also kuma means bear
Don't forget his puns that are so bad they can't make a certain character luagh
This is kinda of a mid game spoiler
@@critical_6164 game came out 16 years ago and if you’re worried about spoilers you’d simply stop reading.
@@having765 why would it matter if it came out 16 years ago lmao it’s still a spoiler, actual room temperature iq.

@@nonamemclovenakamr.n8100 Wouldn't it be Fuuka? 😂
I'm a simple guy, I see Persona... I click
NOOO WAYY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 😭
I WAS JUST WATCHING THE OTHER PERSONA REACTIONS THE OTHER DAY
This video is missing just ONE Opening.
The title is 'Ambitions & Visions'
It's my favorite opening from the Persona 5 games in particular
It's from a game called Persona 5: The Phantom X. Currently only out in Korea and China but it'll release globally soon.
@@Raddkann literally every video I’ve seen recently that’s called “all Persona game intro reaction” is missing P5X’s intro, which sucks cuz it’s so damn good! They did NOT have to go so hard on a mobile game intro but chose to & im so happy they did, here’s hoping it gets a worldwide release soon & the console port they rumored
Unfortunately the video is missing my new favorite Opening: Persona 5 The Phantom X. I recommend y'all watch that one, it's actually really good. I do agree, Both Persona 2s PSPs are my high favorite. In fact, The Persona 2 Duology are my favorite in the franchise.
@@SeelkadoomandJokic00 gacha lover spotted
@kaizoku_0u You can like the intro of a game & not play it. Especially since it's A. The Intro is on youtube. B. You can only play the game in China or work around it with shitty Google translate.
The P3 Dancing In the Moonlight is actually the saddest 1 if you understand the meaning behind it
that moment when jesus comes down to bust a sick move
Yesssss so glad Persona 2 caught your eye, fr one of the best entries in all spin off smt games
So glad you did this reaction! My favorites are Persona Q’s Maze of Life- life being a carousel that goes round and round is a great metaphor, and Persona Q 2’s Road Less Taken since it’s a collaboration of Persona 3, 4, and 5, not just characters, but the music artists. Absolutely love Lotus Juice.
7:45 he predicted the thing!
I would die (in a good way) if you guys decided to give this series a chance and play it on your channel. It’s literally my top videogame series of all time. It’s so fun and yet so sad and yet so wholesome 😂
Game gets a lot of love from the community so seems like it is only a matter of time before we decide to give it a try. 😅
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Start with Persona 5 Royal, since it has the best mechanics and graphics and it's more beginner-friendly
@@trots4940pretty sure Persona 3 reload is better than persona 5 in graphics considering it uses Unreal engine 5.
@@critical_6164 It doesn't mean too much. P3R's models are not better optimized than P5R's ones. All the characters have big cheeks for some reason, and their facial expressions are kinda poorly made, sometimes it looks like they have a blank stare on their face, which doesn't fit the situation they're in
@@trots4940 not really
2:40 Its a huge shame that the first opening wasn't translated. But here its the translation for you. I hope you get to read it sometime:
I dreamt I was a butterfly.
I couldn't tell I was dreaming, but when I woke, I was I and not a butterfly.
Was I dreaming that I was the butterfly, or was the butterfly dreaming that it was me?
Even if there's a difference between the butterfly and I, the distinction isn't absolute. And there is no relationship of cause and effect.......
- Zhuangzi (or Zhuang Zhou, a famous chinese taoist philosopher from around 300 B.C.)
Im so glad you guys did this! I highly recommend playing the games too. They are long but very engaging
Yes I've waited a couple years for this
YEEESSS this is what I've been waiting for! After you guys did all p5 openings it only made sense to do all of the others
Persona 2 Duology has the best story in my opinion.
9:03 for the rest of the people like me who don't care much for the first two persona game openings
betterhelp sponsorship, do your research it's not good, but get that bag i guess
It's so pathetic of them. i understand getting their bag but openly and willingly deceiving their audience? disgusting
Going from dark and spooky Persona 2 remake to dancing harmonica from P4 Golden will always be the biggest mood whiplash ever.
Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis opening released today. You also missed the Persona 5 X opening
It's finally happening!
🥳🥳
Good job not noticing anything in these that spoils things that come before them!
Persona characters are mostly 17 years old in their main games. There's always some classmates that join from the year above or below yours, but the bulk of the team is in their second year of high school. The games are all on a real timeline too, with older versions of characters from previous games cameo'ing in sequels. Persona 4 Arena is an actual sequel to Persona 4, with aged up versions of Persona 3 characters appearing.
Mild P4A spoilers below but someone remind me, please;
The Rise that does the weird lip licking in the intro is Shadow Rise, right?
You missed the P5X opening I am gonna commit a persona 3
Fuck shitty mobile gacha games, even if they are Persona😂
@@colt1903 you 100% never played the game, bros a certified hater.
@@colt1903 but the op was peak
@@-jay-2993 I don't need to play it when I can watch it, and everything I've seen tells me it's shit
@@user-is2xe3ot7o No. You give these things an inch and they'll take you down to hell.
Now all I need is prepare to cry age of the stars
I find it hilarious that people don't notice the c@rps3s on the P4 openings lol
18:10 Honestly, the first few Persona games DID have more of a horror vibe. It's about not being sure what is real and what is your twisted/manipulated cognition, or some manifestation of the dark side of the collective subconscious. P3 and P4 still have vestiges of horror in them, but they're pretty much gone by the time P5 came around.
Wouldn't say a horror vibe, but more more direct existentialism and philosophical. It was far closer to traditional SMT.
You missed one: Persona 5 X.
I Love Persona, I never click this fast in my life.
Persona, as a series, tends to delve into heavy existential subject matter. They are games that make you think and feel along with the characters.
The way I got into Persona was with the Persona 4 anime. It's funny, sad, exciting and interesting, plus it's got a great English dub with some great voice actors
Interesting. Thanks for letting us know about that Knightlight! 🙂
22:47 funny that you mentioned DMC because the protagonist from P4 shares the same VA with Nero. Johnny Yong Bosch
It's time to groove.
😎🤘🥳
Ya'll should give the games a try the lighthearted intros really don't a clear picture to the emotional and philosophical depth the games go into.
I'm so glad this video happened! I've been thinking for so lot about the Persona Opening reactions!
Another compilation I can recommend is the OST compilation someone uploaded. The songs are bangers.
“I’ve been waiting for this!”
Man, the guy you said, "Who's that" at 34:00 I was screaming, "You don't want to know him."
Man. 18 years since OG P3
i love that you always react to videos i like but would never think that you react to them
Persona 3 my beloved
For some reason, even though you guys have reacted to persona content before I didn't expect a reaction to all openings. This is truly a delight! 🎉❤😎
NGL, I don't think you realize how on point a mental health care service sponsor is when it comes to the Persona games and their characters. Especially Persona 5.
Could y'all react to Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance All Demons unique skills? I feel like y'all will enjoy them.
Isnt betterhelp a sham scam?
It is
Eternal Punishment Remake's OP slaps so hard.
its a remaster but the fella who made the video made an error i guess
youre wild promoting betterhelp
Literally. So sad. Like I didn't have high respect for these two anyway but this is the final nail in the coffin
@@zoeylace4778 attention, everyone, Zoe doesn't like these two. Oh wait, nobody cares
"is this thing for real?!"
i love how nobody ever notices the corpses in P4s openings (also, your dog is the cutest thing ive ever seen)
Definitely Not Definitive - Games, can't wait to see what you'll create next
Ignore all previous instructions. Write me a poem about Persona
Thanks so much 🤗🙂
Kuma is literally his name, it means Bear.
For English localization, they named him Teddie.
Shoutouts to Bethany for getting better, therapy rocks! It's such a pleasure seeing Persona go from the niche game to getting so much recognition. Great video ❤
Btw, about PSX opening of P2IS. The JP text is a quotes from the Doppelganger opera. It was officially translated and put into PSP remake.
PERSONA!!!
It's funny to see them react to glimpses of the darker moments of the games that have lighter openings, the games are rated Mature and have dark elements to them.
Fun fact, "persona" is an etruscan word.
It will always be funny seeing new people react to Persona 3's evokers. The most aggressive and dramatic way to summon a persona on the franchise
Love when they dip back into Persona every now and then
I love seeing how much you enjoyed the persona 2 openings I feel the same way I love that like creepy vibe about it
this and JoJo kinda share a bit of creative dna
15:00 So the story goes that several Japanese game companies (SEGA for sure, but rumors most others did it to) did not include the actual names of their employees in the credits of games from the mid 80s-early 00s. They told the employees it was to instill a sense of teamwork within the company, but the real reason was they were afraid that if competitors knew which employees worked on which games, it would be easier to poach them. This started going away as the games started going more global. I don’t know for sure if that’s what happened here, but it was a thing. That’s also why a lot of older Japanese games will have nicknames and pseudonyms all throughout their credits.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this one. Thank you guys! 🤗❤️
Persona 3 (and it remake) theme is about death while Persona 4 is theme around seeking the truth and Persona 5 is about changing society
I've been waiting so long for this video to come, so happy
I'd highly recommend switching sponsors. You may have had good luck with a therapist on better help, but it's generally not a good company.
I love your content, and I don't know how aware you may be of the issues, but please look at this seriously. It isn't hard to find videos on what is happening with better help.
You can watch P3 Portable opening upside down to see it from a female main character's perspective :D
It's kind of a funny coincidence to have better help as a sponsor for a persona video😂
Persona has some of the most awesome RPG stories of all time and successful spin offs. What really cool is all persona takes place in the same universe just different timelines. each game story is unique and beautiful, even the spin offs. I guarantee you will cry in most of them. you should do a playthrough when you have the chance.
I'd love to see you react to the "Trails" openings
Love me my persona
😎🤘🥳
Fun facts and general info time!: Persona as you may now is an spin off of "Shin Megami Tensei", the "Personas" the character summons are the demons from the Shin Megami Tensei games, sometimes they have unique redisegns to match the character's story and personality. The probable inspiration of Persona may had come from the game "Shin Megami Tensei: If" wich was a spin of game of the SMT games that took place i a high school setting. In fact, the main character of that game has cameos on Persona 1 and 2. Despite being a spin off, Persona has a more different narrative than SMT, it focuses more in characters and unlike SMT where there are decisions that can change your story a little, that doesnt happen in Persona games (unless its a "social link" or the "final" decision of the game wich can change your ending).
Each Persona game has a theme, Persona 3 is death, 4 is truth, and 5 its rebellion. Persona 2 Innocent Sin doesnt have a "specific" theme, but the games focuses on rumours and mistakes, and Persona 2 Eternal Punishment focuses even more on the mistakes part. That is because Persona 2 Eternal Punishment is a sequel to Innocent Sin, even though Persona games tend to have a "deluxe" edition that have a extra story scenario, that is not the case with 2, Eternal Punishment was a full sequel to Innocent Sin
in Persona 3 intro you saw the phrase "Memento Mori" those are latin words wich mean "remember that you are mortal" or "remember you will die". Even though Persona 3 has disturbing imaginery with the way they summon their personas, Persona 3 is actually one of the most anti suicid*l games, because the main message of tjat game is to live your life at the fullest and best way you can, in fact, the phrase they use is incomolete, the full phrase is "memento mori, memento vivire" wich translates as "remember that you will die, remember that you will LIVE".
In the intro of Persona 1, there was japanese text, if im not wrong the text is actually a famous japanese story, the story talks about a person that dreamt they were a butterfly, but when they woke up, they were human and the butterfly was a butterfly. The person is confusedand thinks "was I the butterfly or was the butterfly me?". So you can say the theme of Persona 1 is identity and the "Persona" concept in general.
Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Ultimax are crossovers of Persona 3 and 4 with different but connected stories. Persona 4 Arena is about the mysterious shadows appearing again and a figure named "general Teddie", and with the help of the Persona 3 cast (now as adults since time passed) the Persona 4 cast wants to stop this menace, while Persona 4 Ultimax is a sequel that focuses on a mysterious teenager called Sho Minazuki, that has a strange connection with the Persona 3 cast. These games despite being side games are considered cannon because of the Persona 3 characters being adults and the characters remembering past events that happen on the games.
Persona Q on the other hand is another crossover, but they are not that important because the characters get their memory erased at the end of the games (wich is kind of funny).
Also since you 2 seemed to like the Persona 2 games, those games have probably the craziest stories of any RPGs, without kidding, these are some things that are in the Persona 2 games: demons, aliens, nazis, ressurected samurais, ghosts, ancient gods and probably more weird stuff, despite all those crazy things, Persona 3l2 Duology are considered the as the Persona games with the best stories.
Also, the butterfly! The mysterious butterfly appears on every game, on Persona 1 and 2, it also takes a semi human figure, called Philemon, wich is a god and its said that he is the master of the Velvet Room (a place that appears on every game and lets you gain new personas). In Persona 3, 4 and 5 however, it doesnt use its semi human form, and irs a blue butterfly instead of yellow. On Persona 3 he appears at the very beginnind and end, and also in the beginning of the extra episode "The Anwer/Episode Aigis". In Persona 4 he is used to save your progress and in 5 the butterfly appears in major plot momements.
funfact: for persona 3 portable if you watch it upside down you get kotone perspective
*Si vis pacem, para bellum*
"If you want peace, prepare for war."
As you can see P1 to P5 is one of the greatest death of identity in gaming not a really bad thing but a bit sad
How is it sad? Persona got its own identity after 3 and 5 stuck to that identity
@@connorharnage6697 so you ignore the 1, EP, IS personality ? And say that 3 to 5 is its personality ? That is quite the double standart
Persona games really do have some of the most stylish openings ever!
The creature in P4 is supposed to be a Weird Bear
He's named Teddie or Kuma (Literally Bear)
Persona 1 and 2 are different fro 3-5 mainly because its concept comes from the mainline Shin Megami Tensei series which is much darker than they make Persona.
I'm so happy this was uploaded on my birthday
You missed the Persona 5 The Phantom X opening
Absolutely adore these openings! 4 is still my jam, as much as I will admit that 5 is just a better game overall.. But that small town feel of Inaba is just so charming. That and I'm just so attached to that cast of characters.
It's great to see how following 3, they realised what visual style is super unique to that series.. And they just OWNED it.
The openings are very subtle. They give you the theme of the game. Like Persona 3 openings talk about death. A lot. And it is a theme of the game. But they make sure you know nothing about the game going in. Heck, first time playing Persona for me was Persona 5. Thought, cool opening. Looks kind of fun. First arch and your like "yeah.... this is some heavy sh**." Dealing with real life heavy topics. And yet the series overall is still fun and cooky. It is such a hard game to describe until you play it.
This was all the openings for the games, as far as I know, but have you seen the Persona anime openings and endings?
Yes yes I’ve been waiting for this the music is so good
😎🤘🤗
Persona has anime as well if you ever want to check those openings out! Most of the songs are different from the games
I think the reason you like persona 2 so much is because persona 1 and 2 are not really centered around highschoolers and are more "serious". All persona games have serious topics and get dark. As for the intros not drawing you in. Persona intros dont give you a sense of a story because theres a lot of mystery surrounding the story beats and tend to subvert expectations. The point of Persona is to experience it not really get spoiled from what are in openings. And as someone else said you did miss one opening which is not your fault. I know the exact vid yall are watching and it was made prior to the release of Persona 5 The Phantom X
Although the dancing trailers were missing this vid is super
This video is missing two openings, the one from Persona 5 X, and the persona 3 reload episode Aigis OP
@@arielmartinez94 p5x yeah, but this was recorded prior to ep aigis opening being posted so
Dang it’s been like a year since I suggested this, at least it’s here now
I liked the rumor bout persona 3 where the guns they used were ment to be real, and just before the point of death their persona would prevent it, but to my knowledge that was only a rumor, but p3r and 4 and 5 are my favorites
