ProZD is too naive for this world if he thinks he'll ever get paid.
For real... !?
😂
Oh you poor soul ProZD.
It's okay. He's a youtuber, he's used to it.
Well, it makes sense as, after all,
*This world is imperfect*
Remember kids, playing a 100 hour game is different from watching it. Shelby, now you can finally rest, that must've been exhausting
No no, they played the Royal edition. That shit's like 130 hours minimum.
Maybe I missed it but it didn’t seem like they finished it yet. Not even close.
Unless matt finished it while Shelby played bioshock infinite. They were last at Futuba’s palace. So they had some time to go.
nah I only have 100 hours
@@Dinobottenbley They had footage of Okumura’s, so I’m guessing they finished.
@@brycebitetti1402 What? Persona 5 Royal is, on average, 110 Hours. The original was, on average, 90 hours
After watching this, I feel like my bond with girlfriend reviews has increased
*Joker, look out! That’s a parasocial relationship!!*
"I am thou, thou art I, thou hast discovered a new power"
@@Ooffoop Nice Disco PFP
The part with “more responsible than in real life” really hits me. Joker was the best student in school during both my playthroughs (5 and Royal) but I used to be literally the worst student in the ranks of my high school cause I used to sleep during exams. 🙈
I was average in both playthroughs since I tried to do the school questions/quizzes on my own.
No surprise there.
I am bad in Persona too, I never let the protagonist study LOL
How do you sleep through an exam 0_o
Moral of this: you should cheat on exams.
"More responsible than in real life"
That hit hard.
...Except when it comes to your job. I wish I had a boss as lenient as joker’s, who was cool with me only coming in when I felt like it!
Lol I hit that line right as I scroll passed your comment lol that always happens!!!
tfw chopping wood in RDR2
@@ScottStevenErickson lol what job
Well its true
As soon as I heard his voice I knew he wasn’t going to get paid
I saw this comment, and I still wasn't ready. :P
@John F.R Yes, people don't like terrorists, who'da thunk?
Is this a joke I don't get or are you legit dissing on a real VA? Sorry I just don't get it.
@@zephshoir this isn't the first time he's had a cameo in their videos. He asked the exact same question the first time. If you recognized his voice then you knew they were gonna make another reference about paying him.
@@Sturmjager in what other vids he had a cameo?
The breaking point for me was when I found the retro games minigame/mechanic. It just felt incredibly ridiculous to come home from high school and play a videogame about coming home from high school and playing a videogame.
I won't lie, that part felt so freaking meta, I questioned what I was doing 😂
LOOOL
Im crying because this is all true
but unlike my normal life i took drugs from a sketchy doctor and hang out with an alcoholic journalist
For real.. The girlfriend can sing and the boyfriend can produce I want an album.
For real!?
Agreed.
No joke!
Personally I'm really not a fan of the singing parts of the videos.
But each to their own
@@bartdog59 Singing and musical episodes of tv shows are always The best
This video feels like a fever dream in the best way possible.
It’s convinced me that I need to watch the anime version lol
@@oldcdog91 the anime version is...ok. At least if you played the game
For real?..
That’s accurate to the game
Doesn't help that I was watching it barely conscious at 1:50am
Matt's editing skills have finally reached their true form
He maxed his stats
It's not even 9000 yet
Glad they reviewed one of my favorite games of all time
At this point its just him flexing on everyone
He should share his skills on skillshare! 😉
yall got Mishima text saying "Hey im the worst character" had me dying
mishima slander 😪😢🥲
Mishima is my boy tho 😭
@@ashrafabdillah5369 same
Ill honestly never get the hate from him.
@@alexandrelaforest5838 I found him really annoying/boring too.
Damn, she freakin nailed those high notes, I never saw that coming
Aww he... He said the thing
Holy shit, the production value on this video is INSANE.
Yeah they really up their game with this one. Very fitting since every aspect of persona 5 oozes so much style
Is just a really creative guy using Premire pro
Uhm.....what value? Cause all I see is image and video editing.
@@sotoskun861 They got animated versions of themselves and ProZD doing a voice mate. Just in the first 2mins
@@amin9245 meh.
THE SHELBY AND BOYFRIEND CHARACTER ART WAS COOL AS HELL
You don't have to yell. Nobody's on the others side of this issue.
you sure they didnt pay an artist(Yusuke) to do that thing like they paid ProZD to voice?
@@dryochinchin2688 well yeah, someone on twitter made it. Doesnt make it less cool tho?
@@dryochinchin2688 of course they did, why would that make it less cool? tf is wrong with CZcams commenters
@@kirin6544 well the op said their art is cool as hell and I said it could have been someone else I didnt say it looks less cool
PS:the og comment was editted
"BIG TITTY GIRL COMES CALLING YOUR NAME. " is living rent free in my head since I bought Royal on the Switch, causing me to sing it involuntarily at work. 😅😬
Dude this game is so great on the Switch!
@@futurereflectionsmedia8391 just bought a physical for my little brother too!
The secret is not to live in the same place as someone playing Persona 5, but to play it together. I started playing Persona 5 for the first 50 hours, then my girlfriend took over for the next 100 hours and I was the one watching her because she got way more into the game than I did. Now 2 years later, we are married and finally on the last palace. Yeah, it's a really long game.
Custom Persona avatars. A ProZD cameo. A full song. The production value on this video is insane.
Because Persona 5 is an insane valuable game
For real ! 😅
not to mention the great editing, presentation and jokes.
truth. The song even has a HARMONY
You know ProZD is a really good voice actor when he fools you into thinking that somehow GF Reviews got a hold of the actual voice actor for Igor just for this video
Does ProZD not count as an actual voice actor?
@@gabemerritt3139 He is an actual voice actor, but he isn’t the actual Igor voice actor, which is what the comment is referring to.
@@Sam_Backhouse thanks i like really needed to know, kinda disappointed that i didn't have zd with me for around 50 hours without knowing it though
I thought it was Markplier to be honest XD
He is getting paid for this right?
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the time taken to design the cartridges of Pokemon Bondage and Submission at 0:28
Not all heroes wear ballgags
Coming back to this video in 2022, I was blown away again by the editing & polish. Matt always knocks it out of the park in this department, but I think this might be his masterpiece.
That’s not even counting Shelby’s always-on-point comedic timing, ProZD’s flawless impression of “Igor” or the absolute banger that is the Last Surprise parody, both vocally and comedically.
But seriously, Matt, this edit is (*chef’s kiss)
Fully concur!
No mention of delicious pancakes? Now that's restraint
Great video!
well, she did mention the "for real", so i guess we can let it pass XD
Where is the Shrek 2 video game review?
Another youtuber who i follow ???
What is this ??? A CROSSOVER EPISODE ??????
What a wonderful kind of day.
Oooooohh shit! You be here!! 🦀💙
A ProZD cameo AND a Shelby original spoof song? Hell to the yes!
She actually has a really good singing voice.. And the vocal harmonies are legitimately impressive.
I think that "Is death note [...] and we use sexy pokemon to do it" is the best possible headline for this game
"Please help me, I see that cat butthole when I close my eyes" then cutting to a persona rendering of Shelby and Matt had me both happy and wholesome crying at the same time. This is my favorite video on the internet.
That’s also their “brb” screen on twitch :)
But... ...I'm a teacher... And you're my student...
> It doesn't matter.
> *THAT'S THE BEST PART.*
"...battles a few variations of enemies by casting a few variations of cut scenes they're weak to." You are so good.
The subtle “I am the worst character” from Mishima is everything 😂
ProZD and Girlfriend Reviews is the crossover I didn’t know I wanted.
I believe this is the third time we haven't paid him!
@@GirlfriendReviews I hope you keep not paying him in the future!
@@GirlfriendReviews so you mean you still didnt paid him? :/
@@GirlfriendReviews how could you deny that baby face?
They were on his podcast check it out
ProZD checking his bank account for payment and seeing none: "For real?!"
I don’t get this joke
@@shadowspider4140 there isn’t one, it’s really just that
“WAIT, AINT THAT BAD?”
@@shadowspider4140 then you didn't play the game
@@shadowspider4140 play the video past the sponsorship at the end.
I’m actually replaying Persona 5 Royal currently, so this review came at a great time! What an amazing video!
The game is better than how she represents it
@@youngfoo845 Eh, this is a review for what it's like watching the game, not for the game itself.
Did you ever finish it? I just finished the first palace and I feel like it just drags.
@@ctaffy919Just finished Royal at 140hrs, with maxing all stats and confidants.
Definitely drags... Especially since there are hours in between each signifiacnt story node, and each Palace takes around 3-4 hours to grind through until you overpower yourself to the point of auto-killing the non-boss enemies.
But at the same time, the characters, story and battle mechanics are all so satisfying that after my 140hrs, I'm excited to start strikers just to see more.
@@youngfoo845 it LITERALLY said that this isn't a game review, it's a review on how entertaining it is to watch.
I completely lost it at the ‘ya like jazz’ bit
“I’m the worst character” -Mishima
I wish he really was that self aware
Ohya is right there tho
@@dannykazari you could not be more right! definitely really really close probably a tie
They're both great. Ohyas perks may suck but her story is awesome, and as it links with Shido it may as well be a part of the main plot. Plus Mishima is just depressed, he's not a bad character
@@frostyblade8842 As someone who is depressed, I’m insulted that you would say that. I’m way better than Nishima, the worst boy.
Also Ohya is better than Nishima purely because her storyline is interesting. I don’t like her character, but at least her story is okay
Man I don't care what anyone says. I love Mishima and Ohya.
Shelby's singing is top notch, as always. Matt's editing keeps getting better and better. They played my favourite game. What more can I ask for?
Legit need a spotify link to the full song bc it slaps.
Same sentiments exactly
I came for Persona 5 content, I stayed for the amazing song parody.
Review Catherine: Full Body!!!
I 2nd this
Yes!!
"Hol' up a minute" has been forever ingrained into my mind whenever the situation arrives.
same
Definitely. As a backseat gamer, it is now a regular part of my vocabulary 😅
Agreed! My wife says it all the time now, too 😂
Same!! My wife who occasionally watches me play games knows the term and uses it haha
Petition to release the full version of Last Surprise Feat. Shelby
That's one petition I'll happily sign.
I played P5+P5R+P5S total for more than 250 hours yet this is the best review of it.
I'm still waiting for the full version of BB's Theme from Shelby.
I'm in
This is so good it almost left me in tears. Such a hilarious and accurate description of Persona 5. You deserve every damn subscriber. Please don't call me big titty girl.
I’m already an overworked high school student in real life I don’t need to be one in a game to
7:53 "Trivia: If you find out your homeroom teacher is a sex worker, you can blackmail her to make coffee while you cheat on Ann." NANI?!
yeah i cant tell if half of these ingame texts are real or not. like i dont ever remember the game or ann asking me if i cheated on her or slept with the teacher even tho i did all those things... xD
7:18 ...can't remember this choice here...
@@6shot6 It doesn't. The only thing that mentions it is during Valentines Day, when you get the shit beat out of you. (Unless they changed something for Royale)
“If you find out your home room teacher is a sex worker, you can blackmail her to make coffee while you cheat on Ann.”
Aaaand now I’m dedd. 😩😭🤣☠️
Where did she say that 😂
Text at 7:53.
@@LowZer0 Almost all the text boxes that show up during the song are rewritten to say things like that.
Don't sleep on 7:42
You mean cheat on the entire female cast with the entire female cast
I agree, I wouldn't want to watch someone play a game as interpersonal as Persona 5 Royal. Luckily my wife and I are both gamers. I was also lucky enough to be able to play the game while she was at work so that she could experience the game, blind, herself.
It's both of our favorite JRPGs of all time and we both ending up romancing Makoto.
I love to rewatch this one, the editing and way they mimicked the style of the game(not to mention the song rendition) are just so phenomenal.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
- Akihiko, 2006

EDIT: Oh my God, Shelby really did it and nailed it at 07:08 🙌🏾😂
FOR REAL?
Spoier- She hates it
That man has been waiting 15 years.
Did you see that, Shinji?
Did ya see that Shinji?
This is the best episode of GFR ever, with so much effort and artistry and details being put into every second, and yet I still can't tell whether Shelby likes this game.
I watched their streams and she enjoys the story, music and presentation but find the grinding boring and the over explaining of plot details that plagues Anime and stuff. It makes the game longer than it should.
@@Plasmacat1 that’s perfectly fair, still my favorite game of all time.
that's what they seemed to have learned. They learned for some reason people don't like when other people rate the game they love poorly (even tho that's the point of a rating in the first place, to give a bad one to a game someone dislikes)
@@poko60 Weird right? I thought the same thing though. They are also really good at being objective and recognizing critical acclaim and the general merits in games, even if they aren't necessarily their type of game. Of course that's inherently tied to the first point, a little of column A and B probably.
Well she actually stated that this game it's not good for a backseat experience mostly for the grinding, loading screens and reading chats, so you have your answer
This video made me buy P5 and I don't regret it in the slightest. These last 50 hours have been amazing!
Framed Donnut have you finished it yet?
@@KeyToAeris2024 Oh man, I'm in the last palace. I'm taking my sweet time with it, don't know if I'm ready to finish the game just yet :')
@@KeyToAeris2024 I'm at Sh*** palace. Bought the base game, don't know if there's any difference from Royal's last palace though
Yo after P5 check out the mainline games in the franchise Persona is in, Shin Megami Tensei. SMT 3 nocturne HD came out recently and SMT V is coming out in November 11th.
Royal seems to have a whole new semester
Not gonna lie, I replayed that version of Last Surprise quite a few times. So good, thanks for making it.
Matt edited the hell out of this, Shelby talked/sung the hell out of this, and Sungwon cameoed the hell out of it. Great vid!
Who's this Singwhan you mentioned? Never heard of him
“It’s Death Note with extra steps, Ryuji” is maybe peak entertainment. Thank you GF reviews lol!
Death note's Kira and Sakamoto Ryuji are voiced by Miyano Mamoru in Japanese 🤣
yooo you got the homie ProZD to do a bit in the video that’s awesome 😂
Thought it was the actual voice actor until it cut to him on the screen that dude is really good at voice acting
When Shelby kept on singing "mechanics keep on coming" to the tune of the main theme song, I completely lost it. LOL this game was still introducing me to new game mechanics 50 hours in.
SHELBY HITTING THOSE HIGH NOTES!!! Not even kidding, I've got goosebumps fam.
Legends say ProZD is still wondering if he’ll get paid for this to this day
was waiting to finish the game before watching this masterpiece of review, and last night I finally got the platinum throphy, love it! loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it!
Your production values are amazingly high. I am impressed more and more with your videos. You two deserve all of the success and I hope you keep going for years to come. You two are my favorite couple on CZcams. Keep up the great work, because my girlfriend and I love watching Girlfriend Reviews. We both giggle the whole time we watch. Also, I can't stop saying "hol' up a minute." I hope this reaches you in the sea of comments.
Girlfriend: Oh shit the video is 9:40 long how can we get it to 10 mins
Boyfriend: I have an idea
Girlfriend: “for real”
A for real reel
its not 10
one more for real needed
Just saying youtube changed their system so 8 minutes is enough to run mid-roll ads now. So there is no reason to go over 8 minutes they just put that in as a joke
where is morgana number one victory royale when you need ir
What I learned from that is that they had Ryuji's va record far more variations of "for real" than I thought
I love how Matt's just enjoying the hell out of Persona anytime Shelby makes a joke about it he's just like "ehHAa" and then keeps playing
This is one of the all-time greatest GFR bangers. The intro, the cheating on Ann, the poking fun at anime in general, the late night Twitch clip, the song... 👌
I just spent like 8 hours of P5R and this actually made me laugh so much, I'm gonna spend some 100 more hours just to get a better laugh (:
Also, nice lyrics lol loved it.
I just got it on switch! Where are you up to?
@@thomasoconnor3573 I got it on switch too. I'm just 6 days before getting expulsion on school but I'm almost finishing Kamoshida's palace (:
@@XMirrorJoe I'm now at Futaba's Palace. You?
@@thomasoconnor3573 I'm on exams week, I also defeated Kamoshida and the psychology guy just arrived lol
@@XMirrorJoe Yeah I've been playing an unhealthy amount lmao, it's so good
Matt's editing skills just went super saiyan god.
Shelby singing her parody version of Last Surprise is the thing I never knew I needed until I got it
Would you say it was a....last surprise to this video? 😎👉👉
I absolutely lost my mind laughing at the cover of Last Surprise 🤣 as the backseat gamer friend my job involved assisting with random, useless trivia to help through quizzes in class and helping decide who we were spending afternoons with. Oh my gosh you're dragging Ryuji so hard I'm c r yinggggg
My family had the exact opposite reaction. Everytime I start up the game, they come in to watch me play.
"You guys are gonna pay me for this right?"
Famous last word
Wow, the Girlfriend Reviews Persons style animation is soooo good, such a high quality..
The editing in this is by far your best yet. Such good content
I finished P5R a week ago and hell did I choke on my breakfast watching this :D You guys put in words what I was thinking the whole time while playing.
“Sexy Pokemon”
Never has someone been so bold, yet so truthful, in their words
Well you haven't been on the Internet have you.
Implying that Pokemon aren't usually sexy?
@@tigerfestivals5137 Likitung has a 3 foot prehensile tongue.
I'm close to 40. My wife has to spend this month on another continent, so I've downloaded P5 to pass the time during the lockdown. Two weeks later I've put 60+ hours into it. I have regressed to the level of the 16-year-old. I feel kinda Japanese. I'm not sure I know the way back.
After a week away, you will look back on it the way one looks back on a drunken night out . . . painfully and regretfully, lol.
60 hours in 2 weeks seems kinda light IMO 😂
But then again you're probably working for most of the day so it's fine
guess you never....saw it coming
I'm glad to know you enjoyed the game! And the fact that you're still enjoying playing. I'm way younger than you, and I hope I still enjoy games when I'm older.
Why would you want to go back??
Having the adds at the end of the video is quite brilliant actually. That’s when we scroll comments anyways.
I always that persona wasn't for me, but now with my paralyzing inability to respond to text messages I'm thinking this might be great therapy for me! Or it's just a clever mask to my unhealthy fascination with bdsm pokemon.... Lets go with the first one!
Have you finished the game
I still imagine it took Matt longer to edit this video than play the game. Amazeballs
Can confirm. Am his girlfriend.
Shelby fawning over the fact Kasumi is a gymnast is so wholesome.
Holy crap that editing was really good in this one. One of my favorite games and the editing was top notch? Heck yeah. I hope to have your skill one day
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna need a full song release in Spotify. This is the new soundtrack for my life
3pm pacific Matt saved the final boss for you guys. FOR REAL! So if you want to watch that get your booty over to twitch.tv/girlfriendreviews
Edit: We did it. It's over. It's done.
Yes let's go!!!
By final boss, do you mean the final or boss or the final, final boss?
That's 3am IST. Guess I'll be sitting this one out.
3am here..guess I’ll watch the recordings
that little cartoon at the end of you two playing games and your pets was really nice.
"Unless Milady has zero other plans this year."
Sounds like you timed your review perfectly.
I started playing royal back in april. took me to Nov to finish.
Royal’s release date had impeccable timing.
I started my first play through in late December, and finished in early February.
@@ScottStevenErickson tf you talking about Strikers gonna finish by it itself u know?
@@ScottStevenErickson ACNH for the normies, FF7R for the nostalgia nerds, P5R for the incurable weebs.
I love GF Reviews! Lmaooo 😂 that ending is pure gold
This is REALLY your best videos. Watched it ten times and I always laugh ! Great job !
Girlfriend Reviews about Persona 5 ???
🎵 "YOU NEVER SEE IT COOOOOOMING !!!" 🎵
Persona 5 is my favorite game, and honestly, this is 101% accurate
Same here. Especially the part about text messages. It’s still my favorite game though.
So true. I love it so damn much but can definitely see the criticism like the text messages and stuff
You know I totally agree with you the thing that made me love persona 5 was the character's and art style and the dungeon crawling and marukis palace that shit was perfect
Here here. My fiancee had a very similar experience to this game. She appreciates it and understands why I love it but she'll still occasionally curse it to Hell for having to hear it over and over again.
Doesn't help that I platinumed both vanilla and Royal.
She's enjoying Strikers though! The combat is much more fun to watch.
First time watching this channel, and omgoodness you are hilarious! The editing, the script, and your singing + the lyrics are just incredible!
This video is incredible. I’ve listened to the singing so many times because it’s so catchy. And as a whole this channel is incredible!!
The daily log reading "Cheated on Ann again" multiple times killed me. She's literally the first romanceable character you meet in the game and so many of the characters are good, so you go from "Ah yes this is... romance...?" to "Ah shit I like this person better."
The literal worst is Sumi not being romanceable until the day before the final heist. Like, I love her to bits but that's a bit much. You have to miss Christmas for her.
@@kildemal Maybe a Hawaii event would have been nice too.
Shelby's version of Last Surprise was worth the 150+ hours of agony. Thank you for reviewing my favorite modern JRPG. Love you guys!
I’ve been waiting for this for so long
That DBZ Super Saiyan music was perfectly timed at 3:08
Matt's editing skills have ascended the mortal realm
I love how SungWon is like the unofficial 3rd member of GFR. “You guys are gonna pay me for this right?”
Ok this was my first girlfriend reviews video. I love the editing and flow. Also, well done on the song.
FOR REAL?! This is honestly some of the best editing I’ve seen on youtube! Major props!
The BDSM theme throughout the video is noted and appreciated
“I am thou. Thou art I. Thou hath acquired a new subscriber.”
FOR REAL?????
6:05 - You might say that means "Wake up, get up, get out there!"
You know, I'd take the daily life part as a full game too. I have a lot of fun during those segments and limit dungeon crawling to just 1 day so I can maximize socializing.
Me seeing this video in my notifications:
“FOR REAL?!?!”
Yes, I’ve read this in Ryuji’s voice. 😂
1:07 this transition was cool as heck
yes, yes it was...
Yeah it's better than anything even Sony would release at a press conference. My brain glossed over it as stock footage, but yeah... Prob just Matt kicking ass.
Omg, this is one of the most videos I ever seen in my whole life. Specially the music you composed hahaha... Thank you for that.
The editing of this is just perfection 🤩
