  • Hehe! I bought this game for 25 (YES, 25!!!) dollars on ebay 100% new (in the original wrapper and all) I got really lucky 'cause this game costs 35 dollars on Gamestop and the game is used! (There are still like 12 or 15 games left from the same ebay user I got mine, so go on get it its a steal) If ya have any q's well... just pm me!

  • ...A 40 second intro? Really?

  • @GamesR4FITE yeah these are some of my really older reviews were back then I wanted to put other games in the intro. I have since then scrapped that.

  • My only real gripe with most of the Persona series is that it revolves around teenagers. I'm sorry, I have a hard time believing 97% of modern day, first world nation teenagers can survive by themselves in modern society - let alone go up against evil demons...etc...

  • i miss my ps2 :(

  • This game is sooooooooo addicting, and now there's the anime, which is equally addicting.

    Those who need to work or study, should not start playing this.

  • Is this game good? I'm really getting into RPG's, so is this a good game to play? If so, can anyone list some factors on what makes it good? If anyone replys, thank you for your help. :)

  • @HombreHonest well to put it lightly! you haven't played an rpg until u play this. it goes beyong the story and plot andf just entices you with a great set of characters and events

  • man i hate the dungeons of this game!!!! not the design its self its that they aren't addicting as tartarus and they are DEFINATELLY NOT FUN as for the game play of this game...is there any?

  • @TwoFriendsPlayGames I'm pretty sure you're alone with that opinion.

  • @newyoikmabsta nope.avi, oppinion is an oppinion thou so you are extremely racist

  • adachi was such a dick he was the murderer OH OOPS SORRY FOR SPOILER

  • such a great game. Persona is awesome

  • @thesimer2 agreed

  • is tis for ps3?

    

  • @sabananero

    ps2

  • playstation store please

  • I can't wait for this to arrive on the PlayStation Vita!

  • @jleack PS Vita is a piece of shit

  • This game is fantastic. The only real bad side is that eventually it ends.

  • damn it, i guess ill have to load pcsx2 coz i fried my ps2. :( i really want to play this game again.

  • I like good JRPG's but these games look like Dog Shit to me whatevs.

  • wonder if you can play this on a emulator

  • thanks for the review got interested after the buzz for Catherine

  • Comparing any PS2 to any PS3 rpg is just stupid...Although you can more or less just assume the PS2 rpg being compared is better due to the plethora of crap that has been released on this generation of consoles.

  • @SliverWolf9000Pie LMAO,FUCKING MOATED.Dumbass.

  • bought this game on ebay because I saw this review. very good game

  • @SilverWolf9000Pie i totally hate to burst your bubble here, but this game was released 2.5 years ago on the past generation playstation 2. although saying skyrim is going to be worst is stupid, listening to someone compare games developed for 2 different generations of consoles, which let alone arnt even of the same concept and genre is also stupid. thanks for listening, im very excited to fire of my ps2 and play persona 4 which i just recently received from amazon!

  • @SilverWolf9000Pie Saying it's better than Skyrim is stupid? Opinions. Learn what they are. Also Skyrim isn't even fucking out. How would you or he know if it was better? They're not even the same genre. And Persona 4 was released years ago. On PS2. Your whole comment is simply a waste of space.

  • No gunshots to the head this time? Aww... :(

  • that sucked

  • I'm not sure why this is rated M. I DON'T.

    Is it just the language, or is there a screamer or something? Tell me if there's anything like Eternal Darkness or Amnesia in there, cause those things CREEP ME THE FCK OUT.

    Other than the bosses; I've checked out the bosses, they're not scary.

  • @ultimatemew12 Mostly language. But there is blood as well. But I'm sure the only real language they use is "Shit"

  • It's because of the adult themes in the game. It's a lot more mature and realistic than you'd think at first glance. I know that PEGI or whoever rates games doesn't give a shit about the maturity of the plot or the ideas conveyed, so here's why I believe it got the mature rating. Some of the personas are quite unique, like the giant phallos in a wheelbarrow. It's literally a huge cock with a mouth and tentacles riding a charriot. "Mara", is the name. There's also a very homosexual dungeon.

  • I just Don't Understand why this is don't go out for the Wii,Great Review btw.

  • isn't the opening 'heaven' from p4?

  • DAmn! great review!! Answered all my questions i had about this game!!

  • the only jrpg game i beat like 12 times XD

  • @suyinoco ... Dude, that's like over 1200 hours of gameplay...

  • I brought a new ps2 just for this game, and I'm so glad i did. Its the best rpg I've ever played.

  • I have gotten Persona 4 now , but i am forcing myself to beat P3P so i don't end up leaving it unfinished.

  • Which would you prefer more of the SMT series: Nocturne or Persona 4?

  • i wandering about buying it would u recmond it message me back anyone 1

  • if your new to the seris would you still understand whats happening if you bought P4

  • @AngelofAwsomeness ::Yes, totally. I haven't played any of the persona's before, and started with Persona 4 and I understood absolutely everything. The game is really clear and helps you every step of the way, from beginning to end. I am playing persona 3 right now and the gameplay is pretty much the same. It's easy to understand. (:!

  • @serenityflower1 haha same here, played 4 and went back, but because i want back its annoying not to have fast travel or full control of all characters

  • i dont know if i should get this i hate RPG's i really do but then again this is one of the highest rated ps2 games ....but if im gonna play a RPG i should just get Final Fantasy XII or 10 since they rated higher then this game.....AHHHH i dont know !

  • @anythinggoesjoe I have played and beat Final Fantasy X recently and it is a great game, i would recommend it. From what i've heard Persona 4 is awesome so I'd say just decide between Final Fantasy X and Persona 4. ( I have not played P4 yet but i intend to)

  • @metalmayhem007 dont play persona4 before ff10

    ff10 is good but P4 destroys it :D this comes for a persona that is a big fan of FF10 and just recently played p4

  • @WookhieManJoe hey i just started playing Persona 3 portable today, really enjoying it , so i definately will check out Persona 4 when i done. Just wondering hows the difficulty of P3/P4?

  • @metalmayhem007 persona 4 has shorter dungeons about 15 floors max, meaning less time to level up

  • @WookhieManJoe Not less time to level up, you just need to grind that much harder. You also need to do a fair bit of grinding to find the materials needed to create new weapons, armor, and accessories. Yes people that have never played this game before: You need to find materials to make new weapons and such. You should not have too much of a problem getting enough materials to make better equipment just by playing the game.

  • @Bobbynibbles i didnt really grind

    the second time you go back to the dungeons for the mini boss its easier to skip battles by then

    you can finish the game at a very low level atleast 30-40 is good enough but youll need a debilitate and a buffer to do it , also a good diverse set of Elements on Seta for every situation, :D

  • @WookhieManJoe did you get the true ending, i dont think you can beat the real last boss at level30-40

  • @Fenrirmolf Max out social links, get better evade accesories

    get a good Buffer like teddy , and for if your MC is lvl 40-46 he can get a lvl 50 or lvl 54 if you fuse a max out S link Persona you that and 2 healers :D plus Chie is a good Dmge Guy , and since the last boos or True Last Boss doesnt heal himself , youll do fine, play VERY DEFENSIVELY and youll do fine, avoid hama or Mudon skills

  • @WookhieManJoe still pretty hard, the last boss is lvl 90

  • @Fenrirmolf i had teddie Yukiko and Kanji both Teddie and Yukiko are good healers and Teddie is a Good buffer :D but i use up all my soma's by the end boss

  • @WookhieManJoe soma makes it easier, i had none left cause i thought a someone else was the "last" boss^^. My problem when i did it was that teddie died too fast, also i used naoto, who on second thought now is useless as she only got that almighty attack which doesnt do much damage, but she all the other characters (besides teddie and yukiko) i never used so they were too weak. I beat the game but reloaded the save cause i wanted to fuse satan, and than beat the boss at lvl 99 only with yukiko

  • @Fenrirmolf WTF your comment seems like you were a series of wth moments

    dude i finished it early cuz i wanted to do a New Game+ with Overkill stats(LVL99 and Best items etc) but

    what your doing sounds like torture :L

    I didnt battle Margaret btw since I didnt know you could, i heard shes a Bitch

  • @WookhieManJoe but you dont keep your player level, only your compendium, so i thought i better make satan because if is do the ng+ i can only fuse him at the very end of the game, i didnt battle her either, but i will, maybe if i play it again that is

  • @Fenrirmolf im actually playing it again cuz i just found out you can get Kanji as Social Link friend, but trying to play the game again proves too time consuming and since ive been through hell (memories from Low Level Disputes) it kinda makes me not want to play the New Game+ :D

  • @WookhieManJoe i didnt even have the naoto social link up that much, i hope ng+ is easy with satan because of victory cry and megidoloan, havent started yet. i only finished the real end only like 3 months ago

  • @Fenrirmolf trust me it will be easy

    once you get NG+ you wont even grind that much since your MC can own everything at start until about 60% in the NG+

  • @WookhieManJoe means more time for social links :)

  • @metalmayhem007 on normal, both are not really easy and you will have to level a lot, especially before the bosses, also P3 is harder than P4

  • @Fenrirmolf well my MC is about level 50+ now, and the party is quite high levels, can you recommend any good persona's? Btw i am playing the portable version, on easy mode.

  • @metalmayhem007 for p3p, if you play on easy and the psp version it should be pretty easy;) i havent finished p3 fes on ps2 yet (only lvl 33), but a good way is to NOT stick to one persona all the time, change as the enemy changes, before a boss try to find the weakness and check online what personas are good for that boss/weakness or resistant against the attacks

  • this game is pure epic,believe me

    i rate it at 9,8

    but unfortunately Persona 3 FES has got only 8,7 from me

    yep,P4 is better in many ways-storyline,characters and it`s more balanced in terms of Persona`s attributes

  • where can i find this game ive been looking for ages

  • can you plz tell me what all the games are called in the intro?

  • what is the last song that plays during your credits?

  • Who are you and where's my horse?!

  • GYAAA was that guy fighting with a chair?!?!?!? O_O

  • hast the story something to do with the 3rd one or teh others?

  • @danthruni no,the storyline of Persona 4 is way too diffrent compare to Persona 3 FES

    i`ve played them both so u can believe me

  • I'm in the process of collecting as many of the Megami Tensei/Shin Megami Tensei games and I got this one as well as FES and the SMT series rocks but I don't have to tell you that right?

    have a good one Forest and I can't wait to see your next review

    later bro

  • man this game really just blew my mind on everything. Great music, story, battle system, and the social link stuff was just too awesome. and this has got by far the best character developement of any game ive ever played.... yes i think its better than any of the FF games.

  • Also, how come this came out for PS2 instead of PS3? Just curious.

  • @Mugsi who knows. it was probably still in development when the PS3 just came out. Persona 4 was 2008, PS3 was 2006. so yeah they were probably working on it before the ps3 was even out.

  • @Mugsi From what I heard, the PS2 has a bigger fanbase than the PS3. Because of this, developers thought they would sell more copies of the game on the PS2 than they would on the PS3. But I think they should re-release it on the newer console with additional content or even another playable character.

  • I hope this comes out for PSP!

  • i love this game soo much... the music everything is soo awesome!

  • I didnt like persona 3 portable, would 4 be something for me? Just tartarus felt lame

  • best review dude

  • 3:50 in persona 3 and persona 3 portable you can do it also by going to "Tactics" while in a battle and select the last option.

  • @thecooljazz errr.... No. Just on the portable.

  • @Harabec seriously? ohh.. well sorry i was misleading :P

  • hey, whats that 2nd game in your opening video?

  • Whats the 2nd and 3rd game in the opening?

  • can you message me the games in ur opening sequence.

  • wow, nice review, keep up the good work, of all none-GameSite reviews i've seen except for CGR, this review is good, keep it up 5/5 :)

  • Comment removed

  • nice review man

  • nice review man

  • what is the name of the second song in the video when he is giving the review?

  • if I weren't playing this video game right now it will be quite confusing to understand what you just said about the game in the beginning.

  • Is this an action or turn-based RPG?

  • @psx2514 it's turn-based.

  • This game looks GREAT!! I am totally into roleplay games like this, I love Castlevania.. and I think that I will buy this game anytime soon, thank you for your wonderful review.

  • I have this game it is really good. I beat it once. The gamplay is very good, good music and good voice acting. Does anybody know where you can buy the third one.

  • i think u can find it in gamestop if not then u will need to get it from amazon

  • Amazon or wait for it to come out on the PSP in July.

  • This game looks awesome, except for the shitty dub. Can't wait to play it, I bought it right away.

  • You needed to talk about the replay value and the bonuses and stuff you can do after you pass it the first time.

  • You never mentioned the replay value, only what the game involves generally. Once the games completed will there be reasons to play the game or an oppertunity to play the game further?

  • that's a nice intro song there, what's it called if you don't mind my asking?

  • Its called "Heaven" from the Persona 4 soundtrack

  • Woah, there's gameplay outside of the basically empty house? XD I played the first three hours or so before deciding it was just listening to conversations while waiting for the next cutscene. I was lovein' the story, just not enough to stick with it without any gameplay tossed in. X.x Maybe I need to get back into it.

  • nice review. cheers.

  • nice review man!

    what is the game onn 0:11??

  • Castlevania Judgment

  • You guys need to convert to Persona Bro. And knock this shit off.

  • why does the guy with the gray hair and the sunglasses have a FOLDED CHAIR as a weapon?at 4:15

  • because it would be boring to have all the characters use a bladed type weapon now is it?

  • ya i gess your right

  • well the MC starts with a golf club. He eventually upgrades to metal shields and shit

  • if you loved persona 3 you really should try p4, its more of what made p3 so great and while ur at it u should get persona psp its awesome just like p3 or p4 but its definetly aged, but its so good you should try it anyway :)

  • Comment removed

  • Why do you have gray hair. Aren't you young?

  • I'm sorry but what do you mean by that question, or really who is it directing to?

  • what is the game clip used at 0:11? is it good?

  • @forestlock lol

  • @forestlock

    Forest he means the protagonist in the game that you have to name. I actually wondered that myself but I just rule it to the way Anime style games work but maybe you know better than I

  • @forestlock he means the main charectar the idiot is asking why he has gray hair xD

  • @forestlock He means the main character in the game.. if you ask me it's just because he's in high school, and since the game was first made in Japan that's how most high schoolers wolld wear there hair, as some also have blue, red, and other shades of grey

  • @kalcaron art style, not big deal

  • @kalcaron I've seen kids and young people with gray hair but not a entirely full head of it!

  • @kalcaron You can get grey hair at any age you know, one can even go fully grey overnight ^^

  • @kalcaron because its a japanese game nuff said

  • @kalcaron

    It's anime, I don't have to explain shit.

  • @RodvyVideo So true. So damn true.

  • whats the game at 0:11

  • i want to know too ^^

  • Dude this is an awesome review. But I just finished P3 I don't want to ruin the experience so I guess I have to play an FPS for a while. But then again I need to replay FFX... Damn! When will I get the chance to play!

  • hey how many data slots can u make?  btw great review

  • Persona 4 was AWESOME!!!

    But I thought 3 was better.

  • For what reason. I have 3, but am thinking of 4 but is it worth it?

  • you will not be disappointing by 4, I bought it and love it

  • whats the name of the intro song?, I Iike it and would like to download it, thanks.

  • Heaven. It's from Persona 4.

  • Also, it comes on a CD packed in with the game. So you'll have it if you buy it. : )

  • I did, its the best rpg Ive played in a long time

  • Yeah, same here. I finished it a couple of weeks ago and almost started a new game plus right then and there.

  • I am a huge fan of Persona 3, I just wondered if the story line is just as dark as P3, it looks a whole bunch better than P3, I just want p4 to give me chills too lol. Thank you for posting this review!

  • Thanks. :)

    P4 is better in many ways. its the same concept as 3 but just more polished.

  • @forestlock I wouldnt say it has the GReATesT PRoT EVuR!

  • If you haven't gotten P4 yet, I have a piece of advice, THINK FOR YOURSELF. That will save you during the ending fork.

  • can i play it on the ps3

  • Awesome. I suscribed. :) Is this game for the PS2 or what?

  • Yup. Its for the Playstation 2.

    Alos, thanks for subbing! :)

  • Great review again. I just subscribed :). I'd love a review of Killer 7 ;).

  • thanks for subbing. Killer 7, I will have to get the game but I think I will try to do a review on it once I get it.

  • do you need to play the other persona games too understand the story?

  • not really, but the only one that you will need to undestand the story to would have to be Digital Devil Saga series but other than that you should be set.

  • what is the game at 0:07 and 0:11?

  • Lost Odyssey for Xbox 360, developed by Mistwalker Studios and directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, who directed Final Fantasy 1-9 ^_^

    As a major plus the soundtrack was written and composed by none other than Nobuo Uematsu =D

  • before the reviews starts.what are the games after need for speed and before ssx?please tell me.and it's a great review though i already finished the game.xD

  • great review forest u just pushed me over the line to buy this game def subscribe hope to see other great vids

  • Thanks. ^_^

    Im having some recording issues on some of my newer reviews but I should have that fixed very soon.

  • this game looks great. Got all the good things of Persona 3 (im keep plyin it) and also a great graphic quality.

    right now i cant say too much bcz i dont been buyed it yet but i will

    the only thing what i would liked more is the P3 main charcter :D

  • Dude, this review kick ass!!! ñ_ñ

  • Thanks!

  • Fuck off man!

  • Would really appreciate if forestlock or anyone else could tell me about what kinda type of enemies(like if there is a big variety), and if the battle system is at all like final fantasy games, it doesn´t have to be though. I might get it anyways=´

  • Battle system is turn based much like final fantasy 7 - 10...

  • Ok thanks but what about the enemies, any machine type ones i really like fighting against lol

  • If a gundam/giant robot is not classified as that then no i don't think so...

  • Best.game.ever.
