- Persona 2: Innocent Sin was released in 1999 for PlayStation, and shifted the series to Seven Sisters High School. Innocent Sin and the following game, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, form one overarching story.
We'll be uploading Persona openings each week - stay tuned for more, and let us know in the comments what your favorite Persona title is! - Hry
The P2 duology is honestly really unique. I loved the concept of rumors coming to life and traversing dungeons in a modern setting. This honestly blew my mind as a kid. Plus the music and cool characters.
Wait... You played persona 2 as a kid ?
@@guilhermequeirozclemente1369 I’m 14 and I played persona 2
I've just heard the boss theme for Innocent Sin, and it's awesome!
If you like that idea and want an arguably even better executed story with a stellar cast, check out Chainsaw Man or JJK
@@DavidHosey1 none of those 2 came close to the p2 duology
My heart almost stopped. Remakes of the P2 games are what we need.
yes especially since resellers have made the phys copies of the game almost impossible to get
How about you read the description next time
@@tomohawkcloud damn dude no need to be rude. let the man dream smh
Today NDirect, don't lose hope
I would fucking scream if something is revealed today in the nintendo direct
I love the “Doppelgänger” poem in this opening.
And Tatsuya looks really cool on his bike.
he sounds like his bike too
What doppelganger means though?
@@ofilosofoouumfumante5655 It is a German word that translates into English as “double goer.” It means a person who looks identical to you. According to legends, a “doppelgänger” is an evil apparition. If you see yours, you will die soon.
The poem that appears in this opening is “Der Doppelgänger” by Heinrich Heine. I haven’t played Persona 2: Innocent Sin yet, but from what I’ve seen, Maya quotes the poem in-game. She says it reminds her of how similar Tatsuya, the protagonist, and Joker, a villain, are to each other. They both seem to carry around a pain from their past.
@@acehealer4212 I played innocent sin and it's basically like that
@@cheesusabidas77 you are very correct
The game I’ve used in my English studying. Passing around 70% of the game, I wrote down and memorized about 3000 unknown English words.
P.S. I’m not a native, but studied English via games.
Great to hear!
That’s really impressive
Same!
I've learned (a little) English with Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games hahaha
@@major_havok7854 thanks a lot. I had a high motivation, because I failed an English exam, especially a vocabulary section. So I had to improve this aspect, and I don’t regret at all, English speaking/understanding broads mind and changes the person and his future.
I remember definitely that during a whole summer, I’ve learnt 2k new words from persona 2 on my old psp. And then +1k during the autumn.
Really good to see another person learn English through games! I learned from GTA,Minecraft and other games though
Absolutely love Persona 2, both IS and EP. We *need* remakes, or at the very least modern ports with English translations of both.
Nintendo direct today…..👀
@@ChainsawMcgrawful not happening
I just want EP to come to europe. We never got that game and the og persona. We did get IS psp but not og IS.
@@postgotham let a boy dream…..
@@ChainsawMcgrawful True! Unfortunately it is unlikely we'll see P2 for this announcement. I bank on P4G being this month announcement, and it showing up at today's Direct in a few hours.
if you're wondering, the text is from 'Der Doppelgänger', written by Heinrich Heine and set to music by Franz Schubert. the song was actually used again in Persona - trinity soul - as the theme of the Marebito!
Do you happen to know the name of the song used?
@@vile_chair908 der mond zeigt mir meine eigne gestalt! the title is taken from the lyrics
@@uny4781 Thanks
Come back to us, Maya.
Help us stay positive through these trying times.
Not *too* positive tho 😬
Technically she is still alive as of 4 and 5 just much older so her returning could happen; the others would be trickier thou
@@aerialmacaroon6312 wasn't there a story 2 is not connected to 3 4 5 ? I've read this and seen it being claimed so many times everywhere it has to be the truth somehow.
@@sirlezard670 kinda of; the first two games are in their own universe but from eternal punishment onwards everything is part of same timeline
Maya is only one that came over from the to realities
LET'S POSITIVE THINKING!
Persona 2's story was SO GOOD.
FAX
That's a throwback. Next one is going to be from my favorite in the persona series. I grew up playing eternal punishment
I've never played the duology, are there any gameplay differences between the two?
@@kett912 From what I know they're pretty similar to one another. Main difference is that Eternal Punishment takes place after Innocent Sin, but I guess thanks to the plot you can really start off from EP within getting confused about IS.
Same here it's my favorite Persona a d the first one I've played.
EP is my favorite too. I played through it for the first time this year.
@@kett912 The interface is the same with some QOL improvements for EP (which they rolled back into the IS remake) but EP is MUCH harder. IS might be the easier Megaten I've played and EP is definitely the hardest.
The P2 Duology is definitely my favorite part of the series. The way that the main characters bond, going into the Velvet Room with your party members and hearing them share their thoughts, the way the plot escalates exponentially, all the painful and bittersweet moments in the end. It's absolutely the most beautiful narrative in the series.
I really love the opening tune and mood in this one. Majestic yet haunting.
Are we going to see Persona 2: Eternal Punishment's opening movie next week?
Theorically yes
next week, they announced that they're posting every Persona opening for the anniversary
Well, they successfully removed the Yahtzee symbols. Not sure how I feel about that kind of censorship, given one of the villains is the head of those monsters.
Lmao They posted it 2 hours after this video
no
I heard a rumor the Persona 2 Duology is getting a beautiful remake that brought the series back to its roots.
Gonna be honest, I LOVE this intro, i think the shift between the slower piano and the more fast-paced actual song is really well done, I think I prefer this over unbreakable tie ngl
Such a classic opening. Remake and Update when ATLUS?? This and Persona 1
Look at the description it says a new one every week
I will swallow a bucket of gasoline for every single fool who would want a P2 remake.
@@ils4844 drink 2 on me then
You silly child
@@ils4844 Drink 2 for me then: One for Innocent Sin and one for Eternal Punishment.
Long live Tatsuya, best persona mc ever
I agree! The essence of this game is amazing!
The original bisexual king
To be fair there isn't much competition
Hell yeah and he's so badass that his persona can stop time.
FAX
Gotta love that tonal whiplash, from foreboding piano to intense guitar riffs. It’s very nice indeed.
P2 duology theme really catch the horror and frustation ... Even the random battle can be insane
The Persona 2 duology are the best persona games, amazing characters, amazing story, great gameplay, and the best soundtracks in gaming
Man I’ll never forget when I beat this game for the first time a couple years back. When the credits rolled I was in tears
Man id love to play this again, I hope we get a remastered version at some point.
a modern system port of Persona 2 IS & EP with the PSP content intact is all we need. Maybe an explanation on some stats but otherwise this is fine.
In my opinion Persona 2 (IS and EP) is the best Persona game, great history, characters (by the way Tatsuya best protagonist) and even the music. I love this game!
yes, it's a good game. i love his creepy atmosphere
Couldn't agree more.
I love the story but hate the gameplay
Its damn creepy compared to p3 and p5
The battle system could use some minor tweaks. It was still fun though
Iconic game definitely needs remake. The best story of all Persona titles
Literally the BEST story out of all the fucking persona games, it's not even up for debate. Atlus is absolute morons to not have done an up to date remake by now. I get that the subjects im the story are touchy but they can just sensor the Hitler parts if they really need to like they did in the psp remaster.
This is such an epic opening. It doesn't need lyrics(intelligle) or a singular colour scheme to be entertaining, it just needs great scene writing and it's music is great. It's not some anime opening, it's a game's opening.
its an artsy symbolic opening, also music key to what is important to like 70% of the game, if not more xD
@@Evilriku13 Yeah, it took me like 12 listens to realise the bell chimes during the transition with Kazuya and his bike is a nod to the fight in the school bell tower
Kights of the Holy Spear is always such a banger... Tatsuya and friends my beloveds
I know right ? Persona 2 has the best characters cast in my opinion
I got so excited when I saw Persona 2. ;-; But really, both Persona 2 games and BOTH iterations of each had incredible openings. Haunting and also heart-pounding.
I love unbreakable tie but oh my god this is just so much better
The best game in the series and probably the best jrpg of all time
If atlus gave this game a proper remake with voice acting I would agree
@@Gael-xp4fk nah it’s already the best one
@@KarmaHexkys ehh nah the gameplay Is dated and the random encounters are annoying, no voice acting + dated graphics , it's not the best
@@KarmaHexkys As much as I love the game, the gameplay is incredibly outdated and can ruin the experience (especially P2:IS from PSP)
@@Gael-xp4fk the game does have voice acting though?
Since this was made before Persona went insanely mainstream, imagine how much more coverage it could get if it came back remade?
my favorite persona opening. the tone is perfect
Beautiful intro. Amazing how persona began with such dark tone. I just really got into the series.
Honestly, I would die if they put the early games on a compilation of some kind!
I've been playing a rom of the original Digital Devil story from the Famicom. It's all so fun!
I like all of them only because they explore different avenues of the human psyche or rather different routes to acceptance of ones self through our flawed selves and kind of nice reliving my younger days.
Love this game. My favorite story in the series. I remember being hooked on the translated version back in the day but the PSP remaster was even better in some ways. Can't go wrong with Persona!
Remake please. Thank you.
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment was amazing, made such an impact on me. I dare to say it's my number 1 Persona. Please Atlus make a remake obviously with some life quality improvement and easy mode.
All Persona fans from P3 to P5 don't know what they are missing out on.
Story and art are amazing.
Probably my favorite mainline game narrative and character-wise
I will say I do prefer the PSP intro because the visual imagery makes a bit more thematic sense and does a better job of actually representing the game's story and setting expectations
Also character and narrative wise eternal punishment is the best one, the last part of Innocent Sin is very rushed
@@dou5397 man really? I played for like 10 hours but it felt like characters barely question what the hell is going on and they figure specific things so randomly, I think the game needs some changes In how they deliver stuff in conversations. It didn't feel natural, like an AI dungeon generated text
I loved the acid trip that was the PSP intro, it was just fun. Plus I loved the shot when everyone turns around towards Michel with the masks on, shit was creepy as fuck.
This one's really good at setting up an eerie athmosphere. Kinda gives me trinity soul vibes, can't quite put my finger on why, though :)
@ImmaPan its the symbolism for me
@@jgobea0188 you'll understand eventually just keep playing and you'll realize amazing the game is
Persona 2 had such iconic openings
i've only ever played the psp version, so this is my first time seeing the playstation op. very goosebumps inducing.
but persona 2 thoooooooooooo. what a damn game. what an experience. no matter what kind of reservations i had about the gameplay before playing it, the storyline more than made up for it.
to this day, still one of the most memorable games i have played, alongside strange journey (ds). recommend it to anyone AND everyone
Seriously! I cried several times throughout, never have I played a game so impactful. After I finished the games, I just wanted to give all the characters a hug, oh my goodness. These are the sorts of stories newer game devs should aspire to.
Sadly the gameplay killed it for me, i could not bring myself to play more after the school, it's a shame because the OST is such a banger
@@hendix2200 That's a shame, but i respect it! I definitely had doubts of even getting past the first part of the game bc tbh yea it has a pretty dated interface & mechanics BUT with how riveting the plot was + the atmosphere/setting i was just full-on hooked, didn't take notice of the gameplay after that.
Still, each player has their own preferences. Happy gaming! :D
@@johnmarkther2218 Ugh it really was! P3 was my first entry into the series, and I tried P4 after that but I couldn't bring myself to finish it (bc i was young and did not like seeing the new non-p3 cast lol). I decided to give P2 a try after much insistance from a friend, and boy was I not prepared. It felt like I was playing a completely separate installment, and altho I do appreciate P3 it just does not hold a candle to P2's brilliance in terms of characters and storyline.
P2 EP was a fun sequel too (imo). If not for P2, I wouldn't have played SMTIV and just recently, SMTIVA. Looking to play P1 probably next and if possible, the earlier installments of SMT. What a fun ooky ride 😳
PLEASE REMAKE/REMASTER, IM ON MY KNEES
This opening is so chilling, just like Der Doppelgänger. I think that the Persona 2 Duology are the best in the series, for sure! Great characters and a compelling story!
My favorite person and atlus uploads it on the day of my birthday that happiness.
Persona 2 was amazing
I love how this opening theme connects to one of the best and saddest tracks in the series. The end of Persona 2 Innocent Sin
Please, PLEASE give us a remake of the P2 Duology. Or at the very least, a remaster. These are incredible games that are unfortunately inaccessible to so many people, but without the hardware limitations, and with some QOL adjustments, they could find the success they deserve.
I hope Altus reads this. I want a persona bundle with persona 1,2, & 3. The classics need to be resurfaced so we don’t have have to pay so much for physical copies of amazing games
The remake is all we need
@@arfachazkchannel3972 of all 3? Doubt that'll ever happen. It's probably a slim chance for just a P3 remake
What about to P4G? For ps4 i mean
The story,the,symbolism and the characters in the persona 2 duology is an absolute masterpiece, I think this game deserves a better attention,maybe the modern day persona fan doesn't like this game because it's a 2d game or something,but once you really really played this game you don't even care if it's 2D, it's just that good.
I like the modern Persona games as well as the p2 duology, each of the games appealed to me in their own ways
The Doppelganger opening gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it, it's just so haunting and sad.
このOP今でも大好きだ
My favorite Persona opening and honestly probably my favorite opening to any game I’ve seen
Persona 2, el mejor juego de Persona!
Y esa intro tan majestuosa!
If a Remake comes i cant wait to Fight Hitler in glorious Hd.
Fuhrer, that's obviously another person, right😅?
@@victoralmeida2684 stupid Censorship sometimes. Its almost 100 Years after all that happend. When do People stop crying over it and just look in the Future?!
My prayers have been answered! P2 remakes are coming! Very excited and I'm gonna keep an eye out for this for sure!
Another wonderfully moody opening featuring series best boy. Absolutely entrancing.
Man, P2 was a wild ride as a kid. I was too young to understand the complex narrative, so playing the remake in the PSP when I got older was such an adventure. I wish they did the same treatment for P2 Eternal Punishment (to localized PSP remake, I mean), but hopefully, we do get a modern adaptation.
It's nice to see the opening without the stuttering, like when I played the English translation of this game via burned disc on my ps1. I've since installed an Xstation but by that point I was nearing the end of Eternal Punishment
"like when I played the English translation of this game via burned disc on my ps1" haha memories
I just had my hopes for remaster squashed. Thanks so much, Atlus.
IS and EP are a part of the core that makes up the adult that I am. I can't be thankful enough for these titles.
persona 2 my absolute beloved💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
🤝
Featuring the best final boss in the history of gaming.
Adolf
@@nr2676 it's fuler in psp version
@@royalkumar795 It's Fuhrer with Sunglasses :)
Semi-final boss. The last boss is Nyarly's weird amalgamation of the characters' dads ready to give you the ultimate grounding.
@@nr2676 *Führer:* if you want to answer, first you have to defeat me first this spear of destiny and Powers of nyarlathotep are very real
Banger video Mr Atlus
my favorite persona game in the series. nothing will beat the intense symbolism in this game.
Would love to see both parts of Persona 2 finally on one system :)
The Persona 2 games remain my favorite Persona titles to this day. I wish that Atlus was able to reclaim some of the human beauty and weirdness that defined them and blend it with the stylish elegance of modern Persona.
Favorite opening in the series to this day
The game that had really and truly shook up my heart and gave me a new perspective to life. I really hope for a PC re-release
I just hope this countdown amounts to something.... Like Steam versions of the remaining Persona games.
ah yes, back when the "Persona" concept makes sense, it is about people wearing masks defending on what situation they are in, you wear masks everytime you talk to people, socialize and how you deal with your everyday lives, something which the new Persona games lack, no one is special, everyone is the same, everyone has a demon inside they have to deal with and that is what makes the older titles so special.
Persona 2, IS and EP are my most favorite of the persona series, Innocent Sin, as the name suggests, committing a sin because of innocence and Eternal Punishment is the punishment for that sin and for it's atonement, P2EP especially having a more mature character roster contrary to all Persona games having characters on their teens at most, P2EP have more serious tones and more mature themes which is what I love about that game.
If you want a commercial success you simply cannot make a game like persona 2 again, sadly.
@@Vodoriga That is both true and false at the same time
Never got to play the early games..but I hoping with what you said OP, they are willing to draw back to similar concepts for P6. I'd love a super mature darker Persona for the next title.
Yup a gem
Does so well a intriguing premise and story duology
The chills, the actual ominous creepy vibe and atmosphere
One of the persona games I want to play since the story interests me.
Imagine if they remake this game and other games!?
reason they posting the openeings for past games? who knows maybe let's wait and see tho!
Who knows?
Maybe they're using this as an excuse to port EP remake to modern platforms
It's kinda funny that Atlus West is posting the intro of a version of a game that never even came out over here
Iirc they're actually aware of the fan translation they mentioned it in a p3 interview back in the day
R.I.P Persona 1+2
There will never anyone from Persona 1+2 will ever be in a fighting game!
This is the best game I ever played in my life.
*"Don't fuck with Persona 2 fans, we don't exist"*
They do
This is by far the best persona opening
My heart cant take more of this bruh
Ah yes, Persona 2, my favorite Persona game. I would say I would love to be able to play them in modern systems but I don't believe for even a second they will ever remake them.
*Can't wait to have the full SMT on Steam, I'm pretty hyped with SMT 4 after some rants*
i've heard of the Persona series very briefly to as with many more in the 2010s to playing Persona 4 golden on PC and having a blast!
can't wait for more openings to drop to see the history of the series given I'll have zero nostalgia but no doubt know they'll be some banger music!
God these are the best
2:14 THE SKELETON APPEARS
Remakes of these games are what I want...but I wonder if that means Nyarly's presence in the persona mainline universe is growing stronger.
Huh, just had a thought: I would love remakes, but how do you think the Fuhrer would be received today? Would the original censorship (giving him shades XD I still love that, it's awesome :P ) fly, or is that something that might need to be cut?
Cuz, at least in Germany, that shild would upset quite some people :P
P2 Tsumi was epic in so many ways. I love it so much!!
My beloved.
Love the game, I hope Atlus can release it again in modern systems.
We need p1 p2 remake.
My favorite story of the bunch!
my fav persona game ever
need to see tatsuja and jun romance in 3d, make that remake happen!!!
Persona 2 hd-2d remake please
This was my first Persona game.
Love this intro.
Jogo incrível, mais incrível ainda é terem colocado o Flow Podcast como último Boss
Poarr kakakakakakakakakakakakak
boa garoto kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I actually almost had a heart attack, when I saw the notification, lol. I am currently working my way backwards through this series (naturally). Almost done with Persona 3. Very soon, I will play this as well. I keep hearing that the story of this game is really, really good, which makes me excited, as a storywriter myself.
Persona 4 is my favorite of the series so far, but we'll see if that changes once I finish this game
The story itself its the best, but the gameplay is kinda dated. We might get remasters of P1 and P2 for the anniversary so I'd say to hold on until september
@@sergiosalazar8702 Thanks for the tip! Yeah, I was definitely expecting the game to be outdated, but I don't mind that too much. It will probably take me another couple months to finish Persona 3, just due to how much time I have between school work, other games I want to play, and attempting to have a life, lol
holding off might be a good idea. Although I wouldn't;t be too upset if I got the originals games soon, and then a remaster/remake was announced.
But that is something to hopefully look forward to!
@@LuckyOwI777 As you just said, it’s tough to play all the games, specially if you’re busy. Not even considering that Persona or MegaTen in general isn’t all there is. Personally, I play different genres of games to not get burned out.
Hopefully we do get something for P1 and P2, I’ll just wait until then.
They actually acknowledged persona 2!!
My most favorite Persona opening ever, no lie! :D
I was really hoping for a duology remaster. It’s a shame it didn’t happen 😭
IS and EP are the best persona games by far
If you are coming in from 3-5 the tone of the first 2 games are so different it does not feel like it came from the same franchise (of course because the early instalments are following the smt feel since its a spinoff of it), but I find it fascinating how much the series has evolved to what we see it as today.
Damn it Atlus. You can't just throw Persona 2 into my feed and it's just an upload of an old trailer. My heart skipped a beat there. Pain in the ass to even play the first two games legit these days, at least port them or something.
