Persona 5_ Taking Your Time -

 

that's why right now persona 5 is my favorite video game soundtrack i like to refer games like persona 5 many times we have one of my all time favorite game persona 5 is persona 5 persona 5 persona 5. i love persona 5 but something happened time happened why i can't keep quiet about this masterpiece until i finally tell me your account about everything from the beginning i found persona series in middle school my first game was persona q quite weird which lead me to play through persona 3 and 4 with best friend i almost every weekend at the moment we mainly play league of legends and minecraft so you can probably guess that the persona series knocked our socks off we have come across this amazing experience nothing of us have heard of before and we loved every second of it so well from persona 4 at least I'm so hooked on these two games that ut uk my final project in my high school english class i made a video essay comparing literature with my very monotonous persona and a narrative that is too close to the microphone may never unfold but that doesnt mean i will ever forget that i made it happen ok , you know what you can have a short clip even though it's just a game it's a powerful experience where you connect with characters through social links and physically feel strong emotions related to death and the passage of time alright that's cool i'll die shy now it's safe to said that as soon as i got my dirty little hands on a copy of persona 5 it was love at first sight i was waiting for this i came home every weekend to bombard it with the same friends i played other games with i started referencing the persona nonstop in videos my youtube, my soundtrack topped my list of favorite video game music of 2018 and I'm actually surprised that I didn't actually hate river in the desert considering how often n I listened to it hell I was at the point where jazz started giving me major vibes but then weird I don't know if I ran out of steam in the game

listening to soundtracks too much or getting preoccupied with other things but the love starts to fade when a game like persona 5 reaches its level of popularity, I think it's easy for me to forget about it in a weird way, not literally. of course persona 5 is everywhere you can see with the big announcements rhythm game memes and [ __ ] collaboration gotchas why is my boyfriend in the arena afk someone get him out of there it's easy for me to get distracted and end up detached from the actual game so i not forgetting persona 5 as a concept, but as I was overcome with noise I forgot how much the underlying experience meant to me. been channeling relentlessly in the pursuit of creativity and the series that practically changed my life feels like nothing more than a distant memory, some subconscious reaction kicked in when I ordered persona 5 royal back in 2020 the consumer in me scratched the itch to buy more products but when it arrived i put it on the shelf with little intention of playing it then why did i suddenly decide to go back to rambling nonstop about persona 5 once again well almost a year after a splurge through what can only be described as a whim of fate i reached out to take my unopened copy off the shelf and are you finally ready to remember you've been averting your eyes for so long why not give up productivity for the sake of indulging as if your time has been used wisely so far are you very gluey this looks like you really have mailed forget your obsession though you can see it in your profile picture usually just cropped i can't see anything i am you it's time to reinvent the game you held so well for 120 hours well i can rest

I guess I should work on the rest of the video now playing persona 5 royal it feels like playing the game with fresh eyes before hitting new content I can remember almost every important character and general plot point but it still feels like I'm experiencing something for the first time I'm paying little attention to twists and turns story and pay more attention to the writing and themes hidden in every corner well not too hidden persona 5 was always quite straightforward with his message shitty adult shitty adult shitty adult friend i became more attached to the characters especially yusuke as he struggled to get out of a creative slump while creating art for earn a living rather than out of pure passion. game even more this time i would actually jump off the couch and pacing around the room during boss fights i was so sick of them oh my god maybe its just a video essay brain i speak but i feel like i am experiencing the game in a heavier capacity nowadays than i did just 4 years ago i mean i feel like i've changed a lot as a person since high school and new surprise kingdom and addition to the original game made the ride even better than the first time okay except for the fact that they changed the actress goth hot goth sound and overhaul isn't about the same overhaul yeah that's one of the reasons I wanted to make this video not to explore every aspect of the game in detail but just to ramble on about the aspect of my second game that I found the most satisfying and also because I sink 124 hours into it s elongated a month and a half so I kinda had to make it into a video, it's my job, that's how [ __ ] it works

man i feel you yusuke i really do bro this time in 2021 and who knows what will happen next time i'm definitely back to this maelstrom of productivity destruction i found some weird solace on the loading screen not a physical thing but a text accompanying a joker spinning take your time I have expressed this sentiment when reviewing games before but i like when it all ends i don't really care for stories that drag on forever or games that drag on with tedious collecting side quests or grinding sometimes the game can end after 2 hours and i could be more satisfied than i did with a game 10 times longer but persona 5 in all its 124 hour glory is an exception to that rule and not because it's boring not one iota from a gameplay perspective empire adds tons of quality improvements lively and deeply changing mementos wish to make the grind a thing of the past where i got all this money as a high school student oh you know just a part time job persona 5 was a game i never wanted to end because i love diving and immersing myself totally sure its not realistic to make girls fall in love with you because you engage them in conversation nine times but it's a great escape this becomes less of a video essay and more of a disillusioned anime fan carefully plotting out what to do each day does it's fighting monsters go fishing or invite makoto to the jazz club for the third time this week i enjoy being consumed by alternative life it i mean it's obvious why you can skip the school part of high school like 90 percent of the time you go to sleep wake up get on the train and game forward rush to after school is where you dress up in fun costumes and hang out with your adorable anime friends and use dark magic to summon gods and demons and you go oh my gosh I wonder why persona 5 looks so much cooler than when I went to high school in real life wait a bit instead of rushing through the kingdom to find a new impostor marquee or just say i beat it i want to enjoy every relaxing opportunity the game gives me i solve crossword puzzles whenever they appear on my desk

reading all the ridiculous references in books and movies and sometimes i just sit back and relax listening behind the mask for a while royal manages to expand the concept of taking your time even further with the addition of thief den persona 5 is such a big undertaking that even the game itself admits that there is no need to rush after a long series of battles or cutscenes. Its a nice change of pace to wander around the weird fourth wall breaking trophy room looking at cool statues or playing tycoon with the other members of the ghost thieves makoto came up to me after school one day like hey can we go to the palace before i get blackmailed by the mob to which i responded ah dang sorry i was a little preoccupied with the card game i beat you guys in my brain tycoon yeah you really the plane it's all mine a high school girl was detained in an institution for illegal services a few days ago even through induced fainting medicine he manages ed to identify one name clearly yours i'm rich it's all mine persona 5 reminds you of the limited and stressful nature of time while simultaneously telling you to take your time the loading screen says it's character says it's a weird dialogue choice half the time and temporary this might be an odd concept to analyze i have been thinking a lot about how persona 5 royal changed the way i approach the game through the trophy system because it leads me to believe that persona 5 is a worse game if you use a guide while playing it the achievements of the original persona 5 are cruel even if you physically swallow the game facts guide into your soul and grind the exp down to your bones there is no way to get platinum trophies in one game even during my early game on which i use strict guide to view all social links i only got 67 trophies and i still regretting how that guide impacted my experience to this day if you want platinum you don't have it. or do

absolutely everything for example complete every memento max request each persona max confidant every social status read every book play every video game and complete the whole persona summary which is only possible in new games plus many new players including me maybe approaching persona 5 with the desire to doing everything but after playing the royal my personal opinion is that persona 5 is best experienced imperfectly as the game loading screen says take your time while simultaneously unloading a dump truck full of opportunities at your doorstep the driving force behind the persona series began appeared by itself. not doing any of that it's unrealistic for anyone to believe they can do everything in real life i know that persona 5 is a fantasy role playing game where eating a big burger turns you into a more capable and attractive human being but a lot of the real beauty of the game comes from pushing players to understand they can't do it all because the tem calendar system is an integral part of the series with the current date and deadline always displayed in the corner of the screen forcing players to grapple with the concept of time each person has to decide for himself which aspect of the game is most important to them . listen honey I'm really sorry I can't go to the movies tonight I'm going to catch guard fish again how dare you I won't let you feel my anger get hit by a piece of chalk in class and recharge yours save to avoid it for a few extra enchantment points isn't something that every player would think to do or in my opinion they should. You know I'm looking at the persona abilities list and sadly it doesn't include time travel so what do I build towards persona 5 royal well royal takes out the absolutely nonsensical achievements of the original game and instead replaces them with sets which although challenging for beginners are much more achievable in one game i mean you can't do the flu season thing with the reaper anymore but i had no real trouble blasting it to the kingdom [ __ ] in the third half replayed the game a few times in pursuit of doing everything it just feels good if the game will feature several different or new paths

content to make the act of completion feel worthwhile famous 2 for example wow weird example but i think it's the only game i've ever platinum had different missions and endings based on the path lines of good and evil so it made sense to have a player witness each event for the full experience however persona 5 royal is 120 hours long i dont have time to scratch that most people dont have time to play this kind of game more than once wait but i just did it royal designs its achievements around all of its new additions like exploring new locations in classic quests kichijoji like achieving maximum social stats is much more manageable and the whole trophy set takes a general approach hey you should check out all the cool stuff we have in the game but trying to fill out the persona summary without the online fusion calculator will probably make you tear your hair out for completion right away ti, all kinds of achievements are packed into the new th eves den but for the average gamer they serve as a humorous illustration of the unique events that have occurred during the game they achieved romantic relationships with all potential confidants well i have to log in over a thousand hours to persona 5 or oh that you're not supposed to do that so game over

really get that you can you can do a lot in 120 hours but when it comes to the series persona that starts a month long journey real life grabs my attention and twists my emotions in a way no one else can. as I reacquainted myself with the universe of game mechanics and music and forged intimate relationships with game confidants again, Persona 5 dragged me in so deeply that when the credits finally let me out, I didn't want to leave the extra 16 hours tacked on. the end of empire only further cemented my cult and easily became my favorite part of the entire experience. The emotional complexity and maturity of the third half of the game throws you in a tailspin about how you personally view happiness and forces you to make decisions about the wrong ones. the reality created for the other members of the phantom thieves is a very hard pill to swallow, I decided to play this game to the fullest in pursuit of its true ending. although one could argue that the real ending doesn't even exist, the ending that plays after rejecting an ideal reality keeps spinning in my mind weeks after I first watched it at first I didn't like it or rather I didn't fully understand it. i felt robbed of the original healthy cutscene where the phantom thief runs from the police and escorts the joker home with him but then i thought about it and i watched it again in denial of reality your ideal wasn't given the perfect happy ending you might have expected and instead watched as the phantom thief parted ways staying connected by bonds of friendship and standing firm in their decision to walk their own path in life, he will take it from the wiki apart from the standard anti-authority and anti-corruption themes are in persona 5 of the third semester nobility campaign

features an anti-escape theme but i used to use the game as but it's a good escape oh no not even the music while still retaining the persona 5 feel venturing into much sadder and somber territory to accompany the new ideas of nobility i got to the end of the last palace and they said you know what will change life so good we make life will change too and it [ __ ] almost made me cry usually you have to hear the song in the previous video game to get there you love it but i just sat there for 10 minutes listening to it thinking over and over about the actual time it took me to get to that point about how much emotion a song can hit you if you've spent over a hundred hours caught in the game world

about the persona series or that I wouldn't even know what I should be doing with my life if it wasn't for the passion I have for video games. I've bonded with some of my closest friends by playing personas with them or just gushing about games together late at night, the entire career I've built online the last few years has centered around talking about how amazing video games are because they're something I know more about. than anything in my life. just going to plagiarize my celeste videos here video games are so cool they have the power to change the lives of those who play them for the better and those who play them know that if people can make new friends form communities and express themselves through their favorite works of art then who can stop them, i wear my heart on my sleeve when it comes to this kind of thing and trust me some of the people who comment cringey on my videos will never stop me from putting on these ridiculous things. the costumes and making fun of myself it was quite fun through both my games persona 5 gave me an escape during a difficult time in my life but it also served as a means to help me move on it reminded me that the brief moments you spend with another are one the most important part in life and yes the most important it reminds me to take my time and on that note thanks for watching this video i want to give a special thanks to my subscribers for making it a little bit more feasible for me to spend two whole months on a great project like this if you enjoyed it consider subscribing and if you want to support my videos live while getting access to various giveaways you can check out my patreon link in the description and i guess that's all
