which is funny considering akihiko is one of the hardest male characters to date (if you don't trigger a romance flag halfway through the social link you don't even have the option to date him)
@@jesusmen6308 ngl when i was a kid i liked Ken the most, i was happy that we got a fem main character even if the story wasn't canon and since i'd played FES a year prior, so i went for her story straight away and ended up romancing Ken, mind you it was in 2010 just when portable had released here in europe so i was 10-11yo and i was like "hah the rest of the cast is 16/17/18yo" aka senior citizens in the eyes of a 10yo lol. Few years later when i played it again I was around 16-17 and i just liked Akihiko the most bc my mans stylish and efficient, although ngl Junpei kinda underrated but i'll just let the man mourn his goth gf in peace. Tbh i always found it sus that femc could romance Ken, this is an 11yo child ffs.
That entire time akihiko was having a flashback for what happened to his sister like I imagined that entire time he was running through Tartarus just screaming not again
Shinji's probably chillin in Heaven being mildly salty because Akihiko just scored with the girl they both liked due to that heroic save -"Dude, if she had died I would've gotten to flirt with her!"-
@@ualarga "Honestly, I personally like the somber yet hopeful "I'll keep fighting... for him, too" more, it feels like it better shows Akihiko's sadness for his friend's death yet his resolve to move on and do his best. Edit: I think "Did you see that, Shinji?" is still here, it's just no longer a critical hit/weakness exploited line and is now a victory line when the battle is finished normally instead of with an All-out Attack
Imagine you’re on the brink of defeating someone who has the special power of multiple deities, spirits, and creatures… but, then you hear some lady say: *”Akihiko has arrived. All members present.”*
@@CertifiedAdachiLover yes Each character's Gekkoukan Uniform has a chance to play a specific character win pose Yosuke - Junpei Kanji - Akihiko Chie - Yukari Yukiko - Mitsuru Naoto - Aigis Teddie - I don't know.
@@Lupin3rd-hr9ncFor me, Mitsuru's critical animation was more of a darkly comedic kind of brutal, sort of her whole 'Dominatrix-ish' shtick that was played up a lot in P4A and still exists in P3R, albeit slightly more seriously. If Akihiko critical hit a person instead of a Shadow the poor recipient of those puches would probably be vomiting up his teeth judging by the sound and animation of those punches.
It's hilarious to me that Mitsuru wouldn't be nearly as bad of a party member in Persona3 FES if you didn't have to micromanage her in the tactics menu for her to not royally screw up. When I played P3F, most of the characters were fine being set to Act Freely outside of boss fights, but not her, XD. One of the reasons I prefer Persona3 Portable as my way to play the original game is literally being able to control her specifically. The other characters were totally fine.
YOOO! When Mitsuru said "Akihiko is heading your way" I legit was like "Wait wtf?? Since when could he do that?!" Like u literally almost died and...then... *"AKIHIKO HAS ARRIVED."* And..then out of NOWHERE this big beautiful bastard came in clutch at the last second. It was so fucking perfect I couldn't help but laugh. Dammit, I don't know if God exists, but if he does, it's definitely Akihiko. Edit: Actually wait... You only had Akihiko in your party??? What happened to the others?!
You can ask your party to split up in Tartarus. They'll run around the floor and get into fights and gain XP and items on their own while you do the same. You can regroup then at any time, but in the middle of a fight you have to go to the Tactics menu and request the navigator to call help. From then, after 2 turns, a party member will return one at a time each turn. This feature was in every version of Persona 3, but never returned in any future games.
@@ethanadams8109 Thing is, I actually know this lol. What I didn't know was that when you all split up and you got into a fight on your own, your party members could come to save you like that. I legit played Persona 3 Portable before this and I just never noticed.
The party was split up fighting shadows but somehow Akihiko was the only one available when I called for backup so mitsuru said full party thing - I like splitting up because exp and speedrunning the tower since I like to do the dark hour within an actual hour as a challenge Also calling for backup the nearest party member will be the first to enter battle, if they're too far away they may enter in 2 turns. mitsuru also has a voiceline for this where she is agitated and fuuka should too The dungeon/tactics features are cool it's just another way of interacting with your party that makes you feel like the leader you should be in this game - instead of just simply mind controlling everyone in p4 or p5 - also I do control one member occasionally because ai do be knocking down and dizzying the one enemy out of five
He showed up just as you were about to die, and proceeded to crit that raven _the moment_ the chorus kicked in He could not have had better timing if he had planned the whole thing (which maybe he
At this point in the game, she's the navi. she's not anywhere close to where the party is, the most she can do is give commands. She wouldn't be able to help FeMC other than having the others regroup at her location
ya in the original you could send all your party members off to different parts of the floor to grind or explore or look for items. in portable version you couldn't choose to do this but sometimes the option would randomly appear, like the scouting opportunity in Reload
"everything is going according to plan" means the raven was a paid actor to make him look cool
He is Akihiko, he wouldn't do that.
Also you dont need to make him look cool 😎
Amazing I love you for this comment
Lmao I'm surprised this comment has only 2 reply but 1.2 likes
That's Yatagarasu you swine
He wouldn’t do that…. Would he..?
Akihiko: everything is going according to plan, now she will want to date me.

I really hope Shinji saw that

"Is this guy bothering you, Queen?" - Akihiko probably

さすがに王子様すぎる、ハム子よう耐えたな……
This has to be your FeMC romance now
Ah so that’s where kanji got his win pose in p4g in gekko clothes
Every P4 party member gets a win pose from the SEES of P3 in their Gekkoukan uniform
@@berryAsda Wait really? I didnt know this
@@CertifiedAdachiLover yes
Each character's Gekkoukan Uniform has a chance to play a specific character win pose
Yosuke - Junpei
Kanji - Akihiko
Chie - Yukari
Yukiko - Mitsuru
Naoto - Aigis
Teddie - I don't know.
@@atlasreborn7221 Yeah I know now. Teddies is Ken I think btw
What if you wanted to defeat FemC, but Akihiko said "Way to hang in there!"?
Thank you Persona 3 for making some of the best critical hit animations ever
Can we talk about how *brutal* Akihiko’s crit is? It’s always a “Hell yeah!” Whenever I see it
My favorite will always be Mitsuru’s when she just kicks that fucker after her rapier wasn’t good enough
yes!! I always mime that final punch along with him cause it's so cool
@@Lupin3rd-hr9ncFor me, Mitsuru's critical animation was more of a darkly comedic kind of brutal, sort of her whole 'Dominatrix-ish' shtick that was played up a lot in P4A and still exists in P3R, albeit slightly more seriously.

“Is this guy bothering you?”
thats why akihiko's canon name is officially zaddyhiko zanada
Akihiko be like-
I've been waiting for this
And then he won Yukki's heart
And then theres mitsuru, that would probaly use marin karin.
Unless it's the original or FES.
Or also get hit with Agilao and give the Shadow another turn to potentially finish you off

That was like something out of a movie!! The timing was far too perfect!!
Aki has regained his honor!
If you didnt romanced aki on that run i will be mad
Akihiko has arrived at an amazing time, to save the day lol 😆 😀 😄
He swoops in like a hero to save the day, like the best boy he is!!!
…if only he coulda done that with Shinji
High key thought that akihiko was going to miss
that’s why he’s the best
Okay, Mista Sanada.
This is one of my favorite things from the old exploration system
Weave, girl, I am getting there...
*WEAVE, FFS, I'M RUNNING!!!*
….and this is why I ship FemC with Akehiko senpai.
Storms in with a crit
"No...I WON'T LOSE ANOTHER ONE!"
(Critcal Strike!)
"I know you want vistors, Shinji, but if anyone's gonna be the first, it'll be me."
The way it gets in a few pecks before it dies
he killed it to death
He's so dreamy!!!
OMG Akihiko saved the day!
He showed up just as you were about to die, and proceeded to crit that raven _the moment_ the chorus kicked in
He could not have had better timing if he had planned the whole thing (which maybe he
DAMN AKIHIKO THAT IS SOME HEAVY FUCKING HANDS MY GUY
What a hero omg!
The bird was a paid actor
Akihiko: F OFF YOU ANNOYING BIRD

theres only one yukki. and its from persona 1 and 2.

So no one’s going to talk about how Mitsuru just watches FeMC about to die?
At this point in the game, she's the navi. she's not anywhere close to where the party is, the most she can do is give commands. She wouldn't be able to help FeMC other than having the others regroup at her location

"I understood that reference"
And this is why he's best boy 🤭
I need a hero
I thought that was yukari
WAIT YOU CAN CALL FOR BACKUP MID
FIGHT?!
what the fuck is this I don't play persona why did he get sent out like a pokemon
long story short the player can split up from the team and call for back up but since this is a somewhat old game he just appears
このゲームの毒ダメージはえげつないよね。しかし、良いなあ。今度私のハム子もワザとピンチにさせてみるか。
Wait
You can have them split up...
AND THEY CAN COME BACK TO HELP YOU?!
