... Funny enough, possible Jojo reference. I forgot if he had it at the start of part 3 in the anime but I think at the start of part 3 manga and end of 2 anime and end of part 3, Joseph fiddling with him walkman is focused on
@@ulime I agree that it's better than P4, story-wise, but saying it's the best in the Persona series isn't saying a whole lot.. and I don't even agree here. I think the P2 Duology has the best story overall in Persona, but as a series in general, story isn't the strongest aspect. It has amazing art, great characters, awesome style, great gameplay, wonderful lore, interesting worlds, good combat, etc. But the stories are a little thin. They have cool ideas, but they're not amazing, generally. Though they're much deeper than the average SMT game.
@@ulimeI don’t know why people always drag other games to defend their games, anyways p3-4 each have their pro and con. IN MY OPINION and many fan who actually played the more niche p1-2, p2 duology has a better story. Best story ever made and unmatched is a big exaggeration, also the theme related to life and deaths is not something revolutionary, uncommon in rpg or even in the series. The written of the Answer is also very inconsistent and for most part not really great. The story is great, but GREATEST EVER MADE or UNMATCHED is stretch.
@@DeltathRiylaanI respect but gracefully disagree. I do think it’s deserving of being called one of the best stories told. Persona stories have always been more then meets the eye with serious undertones and themes even in a less serious game like p5. But ofc that’s just my opinion
Thanks to Mr Edogawa's personal classes, I can tell that Aigis' pose with the tarot cards is a way of telling fate mixing tarot and astrology. 13 cards are placed in circle around the consultant, and those 13 cards represents the 13 astrology signs. One card is sometimes placed in the center of the circle, which is supposed to define the consultant. With that way, we can slowly build the destiny of the consultant one step at the time, each card thus representing an important moment in the future of the consultant. By the way, the card at the center is The Fool, number 0. It mostly represents the start of a life project or in a general meaning, the liberty to start something.
The art style of the opening reminds more of the vanilla persona 5 rather than the original. The original had the Evangelion vibe with the whole flashes of words and the dreading atmosphere
1:01 that's the best part, they brought back that little jingle from the og P3 opening. That little jingle that goes like "tururururu tu tururuuu~" kinda weird to explain, but hard to miss.
I think that's called a leitmotif and I love it when media does that. Whether that be a video game or movie, it satisfying if you pick it up. And I love how a good chunk of 3, 4 and 5 sprinkle a lot of leitmotifs all over the soundtrack
Coming from someone who’s only ever played p5 but is frothing In anticipation for this game, I think we’re both in for a treat. From what I can tell, this game is going to be similar to the gameplay of p5 with a darker tone and i am FOR that. I hope we both enjoy it!
Persona 4 Golden I’d say is a good starting point for the series if you are curious about it, but I haven’t played Reload yet so that might be good too.
That sequence of the party members summoning their personas one after another is absolutely beautiful. The animation is so fluid, and it captures the characters so perfectly. Actual goosebumps, man
0:59 I really love this part. Makoto just hypnotically lying on the couch and bringing the evoker to his head says so much about his attitude towards everything that’s going on.
I graduate from high school in May, this game is coming out in the perfect time of my life. I beat persona 4 golden a few months back and it became my favorite game ever, currently playing through persona 5 Royal and I’m having a blast and cannot wait to play this remake next month. I haven’t played the original persona 3 so this is perfect timing for me.
@@NekoUrabethanks man I appreciate it, I’m nervous af for college and I’ve basically been kicked out of the friend group for dumb reasons and these games have given me a good outlet for hanging out in a group of friends :) I hope I can meet some cool new people in college
You're playing these games at the perfect time. I played P4 and then P3 in my last year of high school (P5 hadn't come out yet) and I think that's a big part of why I love those games so much.
That scene where Makoto use his evoker will absolutely make people who know nothing about P3 went "Wait wha? He's crazy!" and then few seconds later it'll be "Oh they ALL crazy"
I Love how you can hear some bits of burn my dread like in the begining where it sounds similarly to the intro of burn my dread, just noticed too how around in 1:06 you can hear the "and it chained me to despair" part of burn my dread before cutting into the chorus. Love the subtle throwbacks to burn my dread.
Yeah, noticed that too. There are a lot of references, actually. And for a music geek its like another level of enjoyment hearing such a love letter from the past.
This is my favorite thing about the intro - it’s not just the visual style of the original OP, but the same sound scape/auditory motif. Such a cool touch ❤
I really like how it’s simple callbacks to the instrumentation and lyrics this time instead of chunks of the original opening song being thrown in for no good reason like with P5 Dancing’s opening
This will be the ultimate Persona game. In P5 the technology couhgt up with the unique art style, and now, with P3's iconic story and characters, this franchise will hit its PEAK!
@@CaptainTitforce Yeah, rather than the tech being behind, it's more of just innovations in technology that have allowed for better/easier designed areas. Also God no this won't be the ultimate persona game. For now it might be, but here's hoping for P6 being actually really good.
Late, but: Currently (as of Jan 15, 2024, so roughly...2 months into their 2024 eligibility period), predicting 5 JRPGs (Infinite Wealth, Metaphor, FFVII Rebirth, this and Unicorn Overlord) for their GOTY field. Does that hold? Unlikely. But if it DOES? I would not be surprised if Keighley announced a "Best Non GOTY Nominated RPG" as a distinct category. To allow...Avowed, Dragon's Dogma II, Eiyuden and a couple others some kind of spotlight.
And sadly it turns out that it got rid of the substance for modern audiences. Talk about a lame remake. Once again dead space proves that you have to do better or 1:1 on remakes for them to actually be good
I will probably die on this hill, but Persona 3's story is arguably one of the most mature yet grounded amongst the other titles in the series. Be it the remake, FES or even Portable, the way these characters are written through the entirety of The Journey will always leave me feeling emotional in certain spots. I am so glad this got the Glow-up and attention it truly deserved.
The subway scene got me. This intros is now my favorite persona opening EDIT: Thank you for almost 1K likes! I think I should explain why I love Persona 3. I watched a playthrough during COVID, when I had no friends and was alone. bonding with the characters and story made me feel less alone. I won’t spoil it but I cried at the ending. And then they announced Reload. I’m so excited for this game to release, and to talk about it with my friends who play Persona
For context of what I meant (MAJOR SPOILERS) I’m talking about the scene with Ken, Shinjiro and Akihiko on the train. I love the subtle foreshadowing to Shinjiros death and the relationship these 3 share. Two brothers, a boy who lost his mom and her killer, and then two people mourning over the loss of their friend.
The colors and visuals are beautiful and from what I've seen the new singer is underrated. Her voice is a complete vibe! Lotus Juice portion is great too! We are BACK!
When I first got this game, I was going in blind, with my only knowledge of the Persona series being that the Personas are like stands from Jojo. I was vibing until halfway through when I was like "WHY TF ARE THEY ALL SHOOTING THEMSELVES??? EXPLAIN?"
One of the best things about this is the little call backs like in 0:30 that's a a part of Living with determination, its one of the most recognizable motifs of P3 (I think), its just all so nostalgia inducing, I get flash backs of playing this during one of the lowest points but in which I had P3 to help me through it. I don't really know if P3Reload is going to be good or not but I for one am definitely going to enjoy it thoroughly from beginning to end and god I wish everyone else will be able to live the joy I felt when I played the original and when I play this one on release.
I'm pretty sure that motif in Living With Determination is derived from the main 'verse' of Burn My Dread, and appears multiple times in other tracks in the OST. IIRC the opening chords in Living With Determination is also in The Voice Someone Calls. Just an observation.
I first played the original P3 FES on the PS2 in the summer before I entered high school as a freshman. Now I'm a senior about to graduate in May. This couldn't have released in a better time.
It'd be so sick if there was secretly a remade "Burn My Dread" cutscene that plays after you watch this in-game, kinda like how BMD plays after the P3F op in Fes

I knooo it was random for that student to look vaguely like her… given that Kotone wesrs fhe default school uniform. I saw that and went yup they stuck her in a coffin.. that girl is kotone but doesnt look like her her haircut is different…. Why that girl jumping off a roof? Right after Minato? Its too odd
I wonder if they added Kotone, remember, they said they ain't adding P3P content, that includes the FeMC BBBBBUUUUUUTTTTT they never said Kotone ISNT going to be in it, she could be like Kasumi, being the female counterpart of Makoto, if I'm right on this, we technically will have a new S.E.E.S member, it would help line up with Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth since Kotone is in that and the S.E.E.S members know who she is (excluding Makoto but S.E.E.S also know Makoto so) I could be 100% wrong but I find it odd that the only two characters who wear the normal school uniform pop up in this and I refuse to believe it's just "A Random Student" because she's the only one that pops up faceless, like they are hiding her identity, normally if a character gets a dedicated part in the intro, they will have some form of role
@@wolfiethefurrygamer1908in sorry to burst your bubble because I was doing this conspiracy shit when the game was first announced but Kotone will be in the rerelease in a few years (we all know it’s coming) not this game. If you are right though I don’t think I’d be to happy, she really only works as a protagonist as she’s the perfect foil to Makoto (also my elaborate head canon that they are twins with the game following which of the two you decide survived the “bridge”, will be ruined)
@@jdog345 fair and it's okay dude, I know how beloved Persona 3 is to Persona fans so I know if I'm correct, it could muddle a lot of it up but I just think it would be cool if it does happen cuz then it could satisfy P3P fans without actually including P3P content such as a playable FeMC
@@screemerek1Well it is still technically an MP3 Player though, it is built for MP3 files (Audio Files) so it may be a Sony MD, it is still an MP3 Player
I remember way back in 08-09 in 9th grade a friend of mine was telling me about persona 3. I never got to play it, and forgot about it up until I randomly ran into persona 5 royal. I played it and was hooked. I literally just rolled credits on persona 4 golden as of 1/4/2024, and I'm trying not to go back into ng+ lol. I really am glad my friend dropped that gem for me all those years ago. I'm so glad to be alive to experience something that my friend was so passionate about all those years ago in line at lunch lol.
Man this opening is so good. Seeing it again after beating the game. So many hints as to what happens without giving anything away. They did an amazing job Especially love pharros walking across the screen and the silhouette of ryoji in the reflection in the pool of blood. Also koromaru waiting at the shrine.
Downloaded this on a whim since I was hella bored. This intro immediately got me hooked. Saw Makoto using the Evoker and went: “Holy sh*t.” Little did I know this is gonna start a Persona addiction.
@@BasedRedemption Not everyone wants to emulate games, or is able to. Some people aren't morally okay with it and others aren't able to because they don't have a device capable of emulating it.
@@Zxanonblade Never understood the crowd that say emulation isn't morally right. At this point, the PS2 and P3 have been off the market for about 15 years, so if you buy it online, you're just paying the reseller who often times severely inflate prices. If the company and devs can no longer receive compensation for their work, and there is no way to buy their products except through resellers, imo emulation is 100% justifiable. Now, those who rip games for like switch and stuff, platforms that still support the sale of those products, I agree; that's straight up piracy.
full moon again, crazy how time flies... that verse brought me into tears, made me realised how much time has passed since i played this game for the first time. they made an excellent job with this intro. so nostalgic 💜
I've always felt Persona 3's soundtrack was more unique than the other entries, and most of that is due to the characteristics of the sounds Shoji Meguro used at the time (notably the pitch-modulated drum sounds, percussive bass synths, lots and lots of FM synths and trumpets, arpeggiated 'arcade'-y synth flourishes such as at 0:28, and hip-hop) and the recurrent use of motifs (my favorite being キミの記憶 split into 街の記憶 and 学園の記憶). This one, as many others have pointed out, is riddled with references to Burn My Dread in pretty much every aspect. Atsushi Kitajoh did a wonderful job emulating Shoji Meguro's Persona 3 phase. It's lovely that they didn't stray at all from the distinct sonic palette of the original. Persona 3 is my first entry, and to this day the art and music direction still holds up timeless.
i know I'm very late and not a lot of people will see this but in 1:06 that red flower (for Japanese people) resembles death or it's a foreshadowing of someone's death, and if you played the game and finished it you know exactly what I'm talking about
I have heard great things about this game for years from friends. I unfortunately didn’t play it back in the day. So hyped for what everyone calls a masterpiece. 🔥
Watching this actually brings tears to my eyes. It's so beautiful, and I love it so much. The Persona openings never cease to bring motivation to my life. Thank you Atlus, for this masterpiece.
This takes me back to when i was in high school back in 08-09 plaing this with my bro for hours this new opening reawakened all those awesome old memories cant wait to play it
Finally finished the game today. Gonna be weird coming back to this in 10 years and feel nostalgic over it. I was way too young to be playing Persona 3 when it originally came out but I did love this remake. The series also wasn't even on my radar until more recently.
I remember when I was 13 when I played Persona 3 beat it and the whole “Memento Mori”. This game changed my life when I was a teenager. Now I am 29 years old HOW DID TIME GO THIS FAST 😭
1:18 Koromaru estuvo solo, triste, hasta que el equipo SEES llega a su vida para darle y regalarse ellos mismos un motivo mas para seguir un camino nuevo
@@RealMadao002 I love both of those but 3 just hits hard in so many ways. A good balance of edgy and wholesome with developing characters . Things I fucking couldn’t stand about 4G is how unless you spend time with them they don’t develop their better personas . In 3 it happens naturally as part of the story
@@danielwoods3896 hey, I like persona 5 and it’s actually tied with 2 for my second place. I think everyone universally agrees for the worst story, despite having fun characters
0:59 IS SO GOOD. I have been rewatching this opening everyday since it came out UGHHH and every time I open the game I just sit there and watch bro such a banger
I remember the day I picked up my pre order for P3 it was my first summer outta high school. I never would’ve thought 17 years later I’d get to see a remaster so I’m very excited and looking forward to making new fond memories with Reload.
The best the greatest a modern masterpiece to go down in human history as one of the most artistic and beautiful games of all time. I already know I will cry when I finish this game.
I hope they include the other openings as a bonus y’know? Like golden has its default BUT it includes the OG P4 intro too! And P3P (switch at least not sure about The og) also has 2 different intros. It would be amazing if we got them all for reload, in like an “extras” section or something
I love that they kept the detail that the ost of P3 is just Makoto's playlist
Canon way to play the game: have everything muffled except music unless the headphones can be visibly seen around his neck like in class
... Funny enough, possible Jojo reference. I forgot if he had it at the start of part 3 in the anime but I think at the start of part 3 manga and end of 2 anime and end of part 3, Joseph fiddling with him walkman is focused on

Burn my dread is still there, just hidden inside another song. Chord progression, some phrases are the same.

I had watery eyes when I saw sad koromaru at the shrine. Also so many nostalgia emotions.
Omg for the longest time I thought the lyrics were "Burn my Bread" thank u for this comment.
Nice, this song reminds me the time when I once ran away from the God of fear
And he chained me in despair
Reminds of the time I became a door.

Reminds me of how my life was a goddamn mess.

I will probably die on this hill, but Persona 3's story is arguably one of the most mature yet grounded amongst the other titles in the series.
Be it the remake, FES or even Portable, the way these characters are written through the entirety of The Journey will always leave me feeling emotional in certain spots.
I am so glad this got the Glow-up and attention it truly deserved.
This is beautiful, I've watched this at least 5 times now
Try 100 in day 3... I have a serious problem.
@@GunmetalGatorI feel you
Same. Help!
The way the moon looks like a closing eye...after just seeing the ending for the first time...that symbolism hurts :'(
The subway scene got me. This intros is now my favorite persona opening
EDIT: Thank you for almost 1K likes! I think I should explain why I love Persona 3. I watched a playthrough during COVID, when I had no friends and was alone. bonding with the characters and story made me feel less alone. I won’t spoil it but I cried at the ending. And then they announced Reload. I’m so excited for this game to release, and to talk about it with my friends who play Persona
Not gonna lie... Me too
For context of what I meant (MAJOR SPOILERS)
I’m talking about the scene with Ken, Shinjiro and Akihiko on the train. I love the subtle foreshadowing to Shinjiros death and the relationship these 3 share. Two brothers, a boy who lost his mom and her killer, and then two people mourning over the loss of their friend.
The same goes for that Junpei scene
fun fact, the song is a mix of burn my dread and Close to you
Instantly the best they’ve ever made. The bar for P6 has never been higher .
The colors and visuals are beautiful and from what I've seen the new singer is underrated. Her voice is a complete vibe! Lotus Juice portion is great too! We are BACK!
Yeah?
I don't know about underated when the voice is praised a lot unless you mean before this trailer
WE ENDIN THE DARK HOUR WITH THIS ONE 🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥
Goddammn im starting to get addicted to this opening!! Atlus one up themselves yet again
Ok
Not hard, P5R opening was shit
@@beez2673nah, it was fire but i prefer the vanilla opening
@@Hymn_ song was better, but the visuals were shit
@@beez2673 nah, i understand that some parts are choppy. but it’s like ok type of choppy unlike dbs (for the most part)
When I first got this game, I was going in blind, with my only knowledge of the Persona series being that the Personas are like stands from Jojo. I was vibing until halfway through when I was like "WHY TF ARE THEY ALL SHOOTING THEMSELVES??? EXPLAIN?"
"dont go crazy on the opening guys, we wont beat burn my dread anyways"
the opening:
"If we can't beat it, we sure as hell make sure we reference it as much as possible."
This is better than burn my dread imo
After finishing the game the shot of Aigis on the rooftop brings a tear to my eye every time
One of the best things about this is the little call backs like in 0:30 that's a a part of Living with determination, its one of the most recognizable motifs of P3 (I think), its just all so nostalgia inducing, I get flash backs of playing this during one of the lowest points but in which I had P3 to help me through it.
I don't really know if P3Reload is going to be good or not but I for one am definitely going to enjoy it thoroughly from beginning to end and god I wish everyone else will be able to live the joy I felt when I played the original and when I play this one on release.
I'm pretty sure that motif in Living With Determination is derived from the main 'verse' of Burn My Dread, and appears multiple times in other tracks in the OST. IIRC the opening chords in Living With Determination is also in The Voice Someone Calls. Just an observation.
I first played the original P3 FES on the PS2 in the summer before I entered high school as a freshman. Now I'm a senior about to graduate in May. This couldn't have released in a better time.
The original has been out way longer than that kid.
@@user-pt5en9be9jmaybe he played the game at that time???
And? That’s when they played it lol
@@user-pt5en9be9j Buddy, people can buy old consoles and play older games. How is that hard to understand 💀
@@user-pt5en9be9j what a boomer response. we get it you are old and we are young. and the 90s rUle.
It'd be so sick if there was secretly a remade "Burn My Dread" cutscene that plays after you watch this in-game, kinda like how BMD plays after the P3F op in Fes
YES PLEASE
or they can pull a p3p and play it after a game over
@@squishyslush1166 p3p does the same thing as fes wdym
@@lemon66111iirc the intro does alternate each time you get a game over in p3p but yeah it's the exact same mechanic

can't believe lotus juice said the fuck word
I was thinking maybe she said the journey is about the/each chase. Maybe I’m wrong but thank you for your service 😂
@@omeiga so family unfriendly...
Maybe its "sometimes the journey is about the chance"
I also hear "Sometimes the journey is about each chance"
I think the line after is "All the power, does he need to know no more of...?"
I’m going to remember this game forever.
0:37 all the Kotone fans knowing she won't be in the game, including me.
Banger of an song though, can't wait for February.
I choked with my cookie because of that comment 😭
I knooo it was random for that student to look vaguely like her… given that Kotone wesrs fhe default school uniform.
I saw that and went yup they stuck her in a coffin.. that girl is kotone but doesnt look like her her haircut is different….
Why that girl jumping off a roof? Right after Minato? Its too odd
I wonder if they added Kotone, remember, they said they ain't adding P3P content, that includes the FeMC BBBBBUUUUUUTTTTT they never said Kotone ISNT going to be in it, she could be like Kasumi, being the female counterpart of Makoto, if I'm right on this, we technically will have a new S.E.E.S member, it would help line up with Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth since Kotone is in that and the S.E.E.S members know who she is (excluding Makoto but S.E.E.S also know Makoto so)
I could be 100% wrong but I find it odd that the only two characters who wear the normal school uniform pop up in this and I refuse to believe it's just "A Random Student" because she's the only one that pops up faceless, like they are hiding her identity, normally if a character gets a dedicated part in the intro, they will have some form of role
@@wolfiethefurrygamer1908in sorry to burst your bubble because I was doing this conspiracy shit when the game was first announced but Kotone will be in the rerelease in a few years (we all know it’s coming) not this game. If you are right though I don’t think I’d be to happy, she really only works as a protagonist as she’s the perfect foil to Makoto (also my elaborate head canon that they are twins with the game following which of the two you decide survived the “bridge”, will be ruined)
@@jdog345 fair and it's okay dude, I know how beloved Persona 3 is to Persona fans so I know if I'm correct, it could muddle a lot of it up but I just think it would be cool if it does happen cuz then it could satisfy P3P fans without actually including P3P content such as a playable FeMC
Always wanted that mp3 player like makoto's. Also this game has helped me to get through my school years when it was hard.
This is probably not an mp3 but Sony MD, as most of them had those remotes .
It is real, it's no longer being manufactured of course, but it's a real item, you can find it under NW-S203F
@@screemerek1it is a Sony walkman MP3 player, some other people already found what model it is even
@@screemerek1Well it is still technically an MP3 Player though, it is built for MP3 files (Audio Files) so it may be a Sony MD, it is still an MP3 Player
P3 is a special game. In terms of atmosphere, it hit heights the series has never yet reached again.
0:58 this scene is so fire
I remember way back in 08-09 in 9th grade a friend of mine was telling me about persona 3. I never got to play it, and forgot about it up until I randomly ran into persona 5 royal. I played it and was hooked. I literally just rolled credits on persona 4 golden as of 1/4/2024, and I'm trying not to go back into ng+ lol. I really am glad my friend dropped that gem for me all those years ago. I'm so glad to be alive to experience something that my friend was so passionate about all those years ago in line at lunch lol.
Ok
Don't miss out on SMT 3 or 4, dude.
@@sthxdnn1 I got 3 unopened and 5 gotta get on those asap
hope you're sill friends
@@blueberry-nc9hf we are indeed though we don't talk as much hes still a great guy
easily the best intro in all of the persona games. and that is saying a lot
Man this opening is so good. Seeing it again after beating the game. So many hints as to what happens without giving anything away. They did an amazing job
Especially love pharros walking across the screen and the silhouette of ryoji in the reflection in the pool of blood.
Also koromaru waiting at the shrine.
I’m having a lot of trouble playing the game because I keep wanting to watch this opening over and over.
Downloaded this on a whim since I was hella bored. This intro immediately got me hooked. Saw Makoto using the Evoker and went: “Holy sh*t.”
Little did I know this is gonna start a Persona addiction.
I was too young to play the original when it release but after beating PSR I have gotten so hyped for this!!!
@@BasedRedemption Not everyone wants to emulate games, or is able to. Some people aren't morally okay with it and others aren't able to because they don't have a device capable of emulating it.
@@Zxanonblade Never understood the crowd that say emulation isn't morally right. At this point, the PS2 and P3 have been off the market for about 15 years, so if you buy it online, you're just paying the reseller who often times severely inflate prices. If the company and devs can no longer receive compensation for their work, and there is no way to buy their products except through resellers, imo emulation is 100% justifiable. Now, those who rip games for like switch and stuff, platforms that still support the sale of those products, I agree; that's straight up piracy.
@@chaserhodes1911 Exactly my stance on emulation.
@@BasedRedemptionwhy play the original only a month before a remake releases?
But persona psp is on steam?
Ok this is the best persona opening. Not only the music slaps but the visual style and amount of symbolism really put’s it at the top.
Brooo when makoto was looking at Thanatos raging had me jumping 😭😭😭
full moon again, crazy how time flies... that verse brought me into tears, made me realised how much time has passed since i played this game for the first time. they made an excellent job with this intro. so nostalgic 💜
I've always felt Persona 3's soundtrack was more unique than the other entries, and most of that is due to the characteristics of the sounds Shoji Meguro used at the time (notably the pitch-modulated drum sounds, percussive bass synths, lots and lots of FM synths and trumpets, arpeggiated 'arcade'-y synth flourishes such as at 0:28, and hip-hop) and the recurrent use of motifs (my favorite being キミの記憶 split into 街の記憶 and 学園の記憶). This one, as many others have pointed out, is riddled with references to Burn My Dread in pretty much every aspect. Atsushi Kitajoh did a wonderful job emulating Shoji Meguro's Persona 3 phase.
It's lovely that they didn't stray at all from the distinct sonic palette of the original. Persona 3 is my first entry, and to this day the art and music direction still holds up timeless.
No hate to those that prefer the OG Opening but for me this blows the OG out of the water.
i know I'm very late and not a lot of people will see this but in 1:06 that red flower (for Japanese people) resembles death or it's a foreshadowing of someone's death, and if you played the game and finished it you know exactly what I'm talking about
god damn that’s an amazing observation
I have heard great things about this game for years from friends. I unfortunately didn’t play it back in the day. So hyped for what everyone calls a masterpiece. 🔥
You heard right
you're in for a treat
Watching this actually brings tears to my eyes. It's so beautiful, and I love it so much. The Persona openings never cease to bring motivation to my life.
Thank you Atlus, for this masterpiece.
0:58 why did they make this look so cool
Como os caras conseguem criar uma intro TÃO BOA? eu arrepiei
Foda pra caralho! Chega saiu um pouco de "suor" dos meus olhos...
A introdução de todos os games da Série são Fodas mas essa se superou,eu achava a introdução do anime do P4 mais Daohora de todas.
So gorgeous, the beginning scene remind me a lot of the ending.
This takes me back to when i was in high school back in 08-09 plaing this with my bro for hours this new opening reawakened all those awesome old memories cant wait to play it
I love the detail of the first song he plays being burn my dead which is what they used for the og opening song. Nice little touch there.
This song itself is quite similar to Burn My Bread
this track is amazing as always atlus🎉❤
it’s so fucking nice to hear the organ play even if it was just for a little bit. a mix of p5 and p3 with the amen breaks it’s such a beautiful opener
Damn they had us in the beginning thought they were gonna hit us with the dreamless dorms
Bro thought we were getting hit by that ticking clock
I really like fuuko's persona summoning cut in this intro
God I fucking love these games
Feels like they combined all of the other openings into one. Slow start into something amazing, loved the second half.
Finally finished the game today. Gonna be weird coming back to this in 10 years and feel nostalgic over it. I was way too young to be playing Persona 3 when it originally came out but I did love this remake. The series also wasn't even on my radar until more recently.
I can't stop watching this.
I remember when I was 13 when I played Persona 3 beat it and the whole “Memento Mori”. This game changed my life when I was a teenager. Now I am 29 years old HOW DID TIME GO THIS FAST 😭
Crazy how time flies
Everything in this trailer is just so.. beautiful. After all the wait, they finally did the best persona game justice.
This sequence is awesome!
i've been waited for this too much
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS!!!
This theme is so beautiful
Definetly looking forward to this game. Only learned of this series through P5R and played P4G the past year, so I‘m hyped.
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
that was absolutely incredible
1:18 Koromaru estuvo solo, triste, hasta que el equipo SEES llega a su vida para darle y regalarse ellos mismos un motivo mas para seguir un camino nuevo
1:49 the ending sounds so clean
the chorus goes so fucking hard dude
I'm actually super excited for Tatsumi Port Island, it's a really nice setting
this is the GOAT of openings.
I've been waiting for this.
PEAK SONG 🔥🔥 Can't wait for the full song
As someone who loved the P3 intros this one has easily become my favorite one. It's impressive how Atlus is able to outdo themselves every time
Sit down you P5 kiddos and get ready for the best Persona story ever told.
Best persona stories- persona 2 is and persona 4G
I'm sad that I ended up having a pretty big plot point spoiled regarding the protagonist. But still excited to play it.
@@RealMadao002 I love both of those but 3 just hits hard in so many ways. A good balance of edgy and wholesome with developing characters . Things I fucking couldn’t stand about 4G is how unless you spend time with them they don’t develop their better personas . In 3 it happens naturally as part of the story
Early persona fans and smt fans really can’t resist putting down p5 at every opportunity huh
@@danielwoods3896 hey, I like persona 5 and it’s actually tied with 2 for my second place. I think everyone universally agrees for the worst story, despite having fun characters
0:59 IS SO GOOD. I have been rewatching this opening everyday since it came out UGHHH and every time I open the game I just sit there and watch bro such a banger
I remember the day I picked up my pre order for P3 it was my first summer outta high school. I never would’ve thought 17 years later I’d get to see a remaster so I’m very excited and looking forward to making new fond memories with Reload.
Persona 3 will always be the best game in the series.
Idk man i really like that P2 duology a lot more.
P3 slaps tho.
The foreshadowing is so crazy
Just finished this, I loved every minute.
What a great opening, and the song is pretty good too, probably one of the best Persona opening in terms of visuals so far.
One of the best games i have ever played
The best the greatest a modern masterpiece to go down in human history as one of the most artistic and beautiful games of all time. I already know I will cry when I finish this game.
legendary art direction its acually crazy on such a techical level like bro
I hope they include the other openings as a bonus y’know? Like golden has its default BUT it includes the OG P4 intro too! And P3P (switch at least not sure about The og) also has 2 different intros. It would be amazing if we got them all for reload, in like an “extras” section or something
I think that the og intro will be in extras
@@SpiderDroiid I sure hope so
The change in styles would be strange but it would be cool.
If you sit at the title screen in FES, it will alternate between the FES intro and the vanilla intro as well.
I hope they do what P3P did with the extra intros where just waiting plays a past intro
