Oh god, he's back on the menu design, someone call ATLUS and see if there are any survivors in their UI department
There are. Devil Survivors in fact.
@@Blu_Moon_VA Devilman crybaby's?
Devil survivors perhaps
@@Blu_Moon_VAhehe

What’s on the menu tonight, Alax? Menus? Ah, good.
nice pfp :)
wait holy crap I didn’t know you watched alax small world innit
7:39 Are we just gonna ignore the fact that he named his character "Shrek 2 DVD"?
Even better thats where the name of your group goes so instead of “the phantom thieves” they are “shrek 2 dvd”
@@divinerose7193 oh, shit, you right lol
My boyfriend convinced me to play P3R, and every damn time I see the UI it blows me away. It’s fuckin wild
tell your bf he's a good man
i do! he can't go an day without it :3
I really didn’t expect to like the new UI as much since the original was themed around “circles”, but I think reload mixes both circles and water themes together really nicely.
The UI especially stands out the further into the game you go. It’s one of those amazing design decisions that pop out especially after the game finishes (like a lot of the dialogue and other design choices do). I hope you enjoy reload!
welcome to the persona fandom! *you will never escape.*
@@BelBelle468the water motif completely enamored me haha
7:13 "he even kills himself, so relatable."
I can see why he likes P3R now 😂
Wish I was him
Now it's my turn to sound like I'm smart, specifically for P3P: You've played the original P3, and you've gotten so used to the ever present tint of blue that, at times, you completely forget about it. Then, later on, you're getting ready to play P3P, but as you start up you see something... new. Something different. A choice. A force convinces you to select the new option, whether it be curiosity, preference, or hunger for a new experience. Either way, the game starts, and all of the menus are just as you remember them... except that the blue you've grown so accustomed to has vanished. In its place, all of the menus, from the calendar to the battles, have been dyed a gentle pink. For you see, like the menus, the game itself remains virtually unchanged. However, the pink reminds you that playing through the game as FeMC presents an important change that shall follow you throughout the whole game.
Well said! It's a small change, yet everlasting. Even manages to change the game's tone
yikes
Joker in p5 menu: I’m smashing the corrupt constructs of society!
Makoto in p3r menu: “help me, I am under de water”
1:44 Still more than most fans
Wdym still more
@@Orpheus3896The average fan hasn't played even one.
@@kkkggg19 I must agree but I’ve completed persona 5 royal 5 or 7 times beat portable and reload my gamer card is OPK11 and you see my achievements for persona 3 reload and 5 royal and portable aswell I didn’t really like golden unfortunately but arena and blazblue are great
@@kkkggg19 I'm glad that playing the Persona games, starting with 5, has even led me to play the mainline SMT games then lol
@@kkkggg19 ill have you know, ive played 5 of them(3 if you aren't counting spin-offs) and have finished 2(1 if you aren't counting my rage quit of p3 fes, after a 30 minute loss to Nyx due to night queen into heal the boss shenanigans )
1:44 confirmed not a real persona fan
Wow fr I used to be like you he’s not a real persona fan but that’s not true
at least he plays the game(and not on youtube)
@@10pitate fr
Nahhh... If you play 0 to 1 you are a Persona fan. Any number above you become a Megami Tensei fan (not to be confused with a Shin Megami Tensei fan)
Not literally everybody in these replies missing the joke
You’ll end up making this type of video every time a persona game comes out lol
so once every ten years!
@relaxalax if only smt had this design, like smt V ui is so bad, I hope vengeance makes it better.
@@relaxalax As a Pikman fan that's relatable.
@theshaggs4023 at least re fantazio is going to have some beautiful menus! (I really hope they touch up the UI for SMTVV)
@@theshaggs4023 Nah it was more than serviceable. It was just nothing mind-blowing.
“Continue, restart, exit.” - Siddhartha Gautama (525 BCE)
Those UI are so good that I used it a lot of times in school art projects
The world ends with you and Neo: the world ends with you have some of my favorite Ui and music ever, along side Persona
someone besides me actually played NEO:TWEWY, thats surprising
Such an underrated gem. I would kill for a remake of TWEWY
SO ZETTA SLOW!@@F1nicky
Mother 3 changes the music to really calm when you open the pause screen. The most serious moment just happens and you open up the menu screen to hear elevator music. This is hilarious
Just noticed that, i am playin it a second time in ages bro.
Hinawa just died and flint went to jail. You open the menu and relaxing elevator music plays. Or theirs a huge robotic pig mech is in front of you and you open the menu to restore someone’s hp and the relaxing elevator music starts playing
Hell yeah, that menu song is sooo good
@@TheSteelDialga so relaxing I wish everyone else had the ability to hear it, ITS BEEN 18 YEARS AND 3 DAYS AND YOU. STILL HAVENT LOCALIZED IT NINTENDO. Sorry. But it’s so relaxing
They did say they're not localising it. @@Exeggutorking
"Persona is one of my favourites"
"I haven't finished Persona 3 yet"
Every Persona fan, amazing
"Joker and his property damage" lmao
Your enthusiasm is contagious bro could talk about shoes and I'd be excited
One game with pause menus that I really enjoy is Astral Chain, because of how diegetic it is. You are not freezing the game in its tracks to look up information about the game or make adjustments, it's the protagonist checking their own mobile device for the items they're carrying, information about the current case that they've been cataloguing, the state of maintenance and upgrades of their legions.
The protagonist doesn't even leave the screen during the pause, the camera just moves until they are on the left corner and the menu is visible to the player.
It also helps that the save menu is separate from the pause menu, contextualized as a PC at NEURON HQ, where it makes sense to make a more complete report of the current events and keep all that information saved.
Those things really help keep you immersed in the game, since you're not broken out of the game setting when you need to pause
love your editing style and the type of content that you make alax, at the moment you are like one of my favourite creator don't worry about the time that a video need and don't feel obligated to put a schedule on you, relax we will wait❤
10:07
We need a clean rip of this remix that should be named “Soup and Soda” 😂🤣 the unofficial new theme for RelaxAlax
One of my favorite pause screens is in Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams I love it so simple but great!
Awesome vid!
Very happy to see you talk about Persona again after so long!
As for other UI topics, how about UIs on Visual Novel games like 999, Danganronpa, Persona 3 Portable nyeh, Famicom Detective Club?
Perhaps talking about structure and functionality of them?
Persona 4 Rerun UI bouta be godly I can already tell
i would love for it to be in a comic book art style
@@MrRim91more likely to be early anime themed considering the whole TV theming.
i can feel it in my soul
I can actually see that being the title if they do a P4 remake.
Menus are very cool I like them
10:07 Cool Dk sound
Rivals of Aether has a cool menu if you wanna look at it
rivals of aether is cool in general
His voice when he said "A BLUE CLUE" sounded so much like Josh from the show. It's uncanny.
I became a fan of Persona soon after Reload came out so seeing one of my new favorite youtubers cover it makes me so happy. Alax, if you see this, I’ve been watching video game YT for over 12 years since i was 9. Seeing where you’ve gotten your inspiration from others and watching you turn it into your own special thing has been a blast! Here’s to more years of silly video game videos :)
I just realised you are Scott the Woz for people with brain rot. Keep it up gamer.
Bro this is one of the most hilarious video I've ever seen, you deserved a new subscriber
What a crazy well built video. Subbed!
Another thing about P4's UI, notice how the battle screen has a rounded black border resembling a TV set when irs a characters turn. This both ties into the TV world itself and one of the games central themes of "people only see what they want to see."
So good to see that mug again! Hope you're doing well, Alax!
you fr been filling out your frame bro you look great
Congrats, you found your way back into our recommendations!
I may not be able to watch your videos day 1, but I do make note when you do and get to it when I can. Your videos are always so fun to watch.
your videos are special alax.
i really, really enjoyed your videos and still do.
I've actually been trying to break down and recreate the P3R UI and MAN OH MAN, the timing and layers and masks/mattes, they really did God's work on that UI design, and all I've done is the pause menu and All Out Attack splash screen!
Man, I love your videos. Keep up the good work, man.
Great video, I enjoyed the entire thing before commenting
I’ve been waiting for this video
I really respect this new sponsor, it’s not intrusive and it helps you channel out a ton! Ontop of that, you got a damn good website builder! Also great video!
Fuck, this is my time watching you but you're so fucking funny and the editing is so good
This is just a good, entertaining and educational video about different UI designs.
I also absolutely adore Persona 3's new UI. It feels so soothing and hopeless, fitting the themes so well
I also feel like the main colours of the uis reflect our main characters.
The persona 3 protagonist is depicted in media as melancholic, sort of somber, struggling to truly enjoy things in life - so the colour blue as the colour of "sadness", but also "calmness" fits him.
The red of persona 5 is bold, almost agressively. This, I think, represents how bold in his goals the p5 protag is, trying to change the whole world for the better, while also showing how passionate he is about everything.
Yellow is the colour of happiness and warmth. Which might fit how Yu appears to be the source of happiness for a lot of people around him??? Idk I haven't played most of persona 4 yet tbh so I don't have a good idea of the mc (I was gonna write about how the social links in 4 feel more deeply connected to the mc than in 3 but idk if that fits my previous writing well.)
Sorry for the long comment!!
i ADORE the editing and the fakeout in the beginning, i was so ready to skip forward LOL
this was a rollercoaster of emotions.
thank you for thisss, i LOVE THE persona menus to deathh. they are soo aesthetically addicting, and nice on the eyess.
this video had me cackling, this was genuinely entertaining to watch
I will admit I have a problem where I pause P3R just to look at the menu and forget to play. It’s literally beautiful.
You've gained a subscriber bro. You are funny as hell, and concise with your video topics. Keep up the great work man!
Great video as always Alax
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, loved every minute of it. P3 Reload has the best pause menu of all time and I’ll die on this hill
I quite enjoyed this video lol VERY creative alax 🥰🥰
Thank you for the Ice Climber menu, best theme imo. :)
How have I not discovered this gem of a channel until now
I love the p3r menu, everytime I pause it's just so clean.
He made a 14 minute video about just a menu,great job Alax
You felt very comfortable talking about this and it was very enjoyable
i knew you would and im so happy you did
Looking Cool, Alax
This persona 3 reload pause menu is so good im pretty sure i spend hoursss on just looking around each different design while the fire ahh music plays in the background.
you look like youve been working out? your arms are getting massive. looking good man, keep up the hilarious vids and sick editing
10:08 cool dk sound effect
Was hoping Alax would hit P3R. Great video as always!
Man, I would love to see your reaction to the ending of P3R, that or a review of the game, it's nothing like the other persona games
That argument at the end was A Tier acting, really impressive how you pulled that off on your own
Yes, love Alax ui videos
Absolutely killed it on this video. Didn’t realize how much I liked the UI in multiple games until you pointed it out. Loved the Sonic moment “Continue, Restart, Exit.”
when i bought persona 5 royal over christmas break (it was on sale) and first started playing, i’d just interact with the menu to see how smooth the transition between screens were. it was crazy.
Okay but WHEN DO WE GET A FULL COVER OF "Murder Murder Kill" FROM THE 64 DS VIDEO?!
THANK YOU. I can pause the game but I can't close it because when I get to the menu I stay there looking at it
just found this channel I just wanted to say I love you
Alax played Persona 3? YES!!!
I really love the P4G and P3R day transitions
Alax’s intros always either make me smile or make me laugh. They’re always so goofy and charming, and you’ll never know what next videos intro will be! Will he pull a Scott Pilgrim and jump through the window? Will he animorph from one of the cats into his character? You’ll never know, and that’s the fun of it!
Even though the thumbnail is basically P3reload, I knew immediately that it was a relax alax video
10:07 This is what I come for in every video now. Just waiting for this because I swear its funny every time.
just navigating the menus from p5 and p3r feels so good and smooth. Just like the baton passes in P5R.
I have had P3R menu as my live wallpaper since the moment the trailer came out. I love it. A lot. Too much.
why does youtube feel so much less stable now ?
I don't think I've laughed this much at a video in a LONG time!
The pause menus in the modern Persona games are indeed very well done. Great video. 👍
Alax + menus = *perfection*
Always love Altus menu design especially on persona
The men i pause are none of your business
I saw the shrek dvd in the P5 menu! You can’t trick me Alax! 🤣
Alax, you are a good man
Dammit, the first Relax Alax video I see right when it publishes and I can't watch it cause I haven't played Persona reload -_-. Ok imma just like and leave the video on in the background so the algorithm likes it
this video doesnt have spoilers for reload, just the visuals for the UI and a few very out of context scenes. alax even says in the video that he hasnt finished the game either
@@anotheramber7074 Yeah but I like to go into games so blind that I don't even look at screenshots of the game. I wanna be amazed by the UI while scrolling through it myself
These intros are amazing
this guy actually got me to play persona and now it is my entire life
you should definitely check out killer instincts menu because with every direction you press, you start playing the theme
MAGIC
i love this kind of content
my boy was acc spittin 😭
How do you not have 1mil+ subs yet? Your funny af my boi haha
11:35 bro got his own p4 arc
Amazing creator
7:54 I know this is smash 64 but I do feel a wonderment looking at melee's menus and stages. I also feel the same way watching the prime trilogy collection loading the title screen, ps1 loading, beneath the waterfall in mario 64, and even entering the dojo in mario color splash
This shit was so accurate and so hilarious, man, this is one of your best bideos
If only Alax knew how the ending of the game also ties into the water theme in the menu…
I'm grateful that you're trying to make a point about niche subjects while making us laugh in the process.
this was sickkkk
