103 Obscure Persona 3 Facts

hey Johnny here and today we'll be counting down 103 Persona 3 facts in anticipation for P3 reload by no means the oldest Persona game P3 still has a ton of accessory media and I combed every single bit of it to find the weirdest and craziest trivia I bet you've never heard of like honestly if you leave this video learning nothing I I don't believe you i' consider myself like a pretty big fan of Persona 3 but no I genuinely learned so much trivia while researching this video and I think it's well worth your time also there will be some slight spoilers for this video but nothing that you wouldn't see just from you know a normal trailer so don't worry I won't be going over the main story of the game and with all that said let's start this thing because there is a lot to get to so let's begin with Persona 3 Portable where two characters from P4 make an appearance during trips the protagonists take in the male Heroes Journey he crosses paths with noro kashiwagi at the beach in aushim and in the female hero route if you join the the tennis club you will meet a young Yukio aagi in Persona 3 FES the hero can use every weapon type excluding guns and knives and has unique animations for each weapon during the Priestess Full Moon Shadow Fight you can see a repurpose concept art for P3 in the train cabin disguised as an ad in the fight against Elizabeth her tarot cards contain the texture of the Persona anant with one shrunken head speaking of shrunken heads importable when entering the Velvet room as the male hero with the Persona Mara equipped Elizabeth will comment on how manly it is what's playing as the female hero theor will comment that the Persona doesn't suit you if you take Elizabeth's request number 79 you can visit the faculty office for an academic boost for a week that doesn't eat up time extremely helpful since academics is the stat that takes the most points to max out in the Japanese version of P3 FES the campaigns are titled episode yourself and episode IUS whilst abroad they're referred to as the journey and the answer makota Yuki's weapon of choice in in the Persona 3 movie Excalibur is extremely rare only appearing in golden chests in two specific floors of monad in addition it shares its loot table with other items further increasing its scarcity making it one of the rarest items in the franchise introduced in p3p are new ending lines for players who complete the game on New Game Plus featuring characters you formed an intimate bond with J was also considered to appear here but ended up being scrapped to jume already having a similar relationship with someone other than the protagonist and the devs probably didn't want to make him look like a cheater akihiko and Igor are the only Legacy characters to appear in p3s offshoot anime Trinity Soul if you use a cheating device to add the Persona the universe to your repertoire The Navigators will scold you cheating huh I'm disappointed in you you're cheating I'll have to punish you Japan has an exclusive version of Fes P3 append Edition allowing those who purchase vanilla P3 to receive the new fpes editions at at a discounted cost the Japanese history teacher Mr Ono is the sibling to the world history teacher Miss sofu who teaches you in Persona 4 the setting of p3s Tatsumi Port Island is based on Japan's real world Kobe Island both even feature an artificial Island that houses some of the district schools the reason Fusion spells changed imp portable was due to the fact that the spell Armageddon ruined the game balance to restore this balance Fusion spells were reworked into an item form importable limiting the frequency that Armageddon could be used that's right Armageddon was so strong that every Fusion spell had a suffer too both of mit's personas have an absent breastplate on their design in reference to the theory that Amazons sever their own breasts to become better archers the TV show quiz the airs in the dorm Lobby who's who references past Persona 1 and Persona 2 characters on their Canon birthdays Persona 2 is referenced again in the hermit social link the game innocent sin online being a clear callback to the first half of the P2 duy and the screen names used by the hero and the hermit are also tatsuya and Maya paying homage to past characters this however is a localization change in the Japanese version the game they play is devil Busters a reference to a game inside of a game from Mami tensei 2 and the characters are named after Nakajima and yumo from the Digital Devil story novels in the answer Igor makes a comment referencing his Origins when conversing with aigus saying they may share a similar Destiny possibly hinting on Igor's Origins as a doll the unnamed antique woman has cut lines in the Japanese vanilla version indicating she was intended to be a social link at one point but was eventually scrapped we also learned an old document number eight the antique woman worked for the Kio group before opening up her store Mr idogawa the school nurse and integrated learning teacher is based on an atlas staff member shogo isog guy who has written for and helped direct many other games at Atlas including Persona 3 thanks to being infused with the items plumes of dusk evokers Aus and mito's motorcycle can operate normally during the dark hour while other technology cannot plumes of dusk also are what gives anti-shadow weapons their personas IAS has two of these plumes of dusk inside of her in the shape of a butterfly which is why she has what is called a palpan heart Akiko appears in more Persona media than any other character due to spin-offs and being the sole character to return in Trinity Soul me through sword from the Persona 3 movie isn't actually a weapon from the games which is totally understandable because some of the P3 swords look kind of silly in aigus first mission for mobile devices we learn aig's ribbon was a gift from U Kimi Jima in an odd coincidence the original voice actor for the English P3 hero Yuri lenthal is married to the English voice actress for Elizabeth Tera plat and the femy English voice actor Lori Bailey is married to Theodore's original voice actor Travis Willingham the plumes of dusk are called Nicks Wings in p4's Arena code hinting toward their place of origin it was was revealed in a episode of persona stalker club that mitsuru's father takahiro Kio lost his eye when he was attacked by a shadow during a Tartarus investigation thanks to an oversight you can skip the game's final boss if you initiate the devil social link on the night of January 31st the development staff of the original P3 believed it was impossible to Max every social link in a single playthrough only later to be proven wrong once fans got their hands on the game and optimized a route mitsu uses occasional English words in Her speech and the Japanese version opposed to French did you know the little guy inside Aki heo Persona Caesar is me telling you to subscribe I make amazing Persona content I have some killer videos for 2024 that I know you don't want to miss so just do yourself a favor and you know subscribe don't put it off don't procrastinate come on and no this does not count towards the 103 facts but but I am canonically inside of C that that is me I just want you to know that the femy hair clip has a double reference attached to it it was purposely crafted to resemble the Roman numeral 22 because she was the 22nd Arcana to be added to the game and in Tarot decks the fool can also be at the end of the deck being the 22nd card also the femy loves bananas and has many dialogue options in game involving them this is Canon you cannot debate it ais's headphones are based on the anti kythera mechanism an ancient Greek analog computer that was used to predict solar eclipses the intro movie of Fes has a mistake in the attract mode video in it you can see that Jeune is fighting against the full Moon Shadow of the hermit but in game this just isn't possible speaking of Jeune his victory pose shares a striking resemblance to John Travolta from the American Musical Saturday Night Fever early concept art shows Ken's weapon of choice were darts and throwing weapons before deciding to give him a spear as illustrated by the lowest quality jpeg I swear to God I couldn't find a better one in the dorm's vending machine the item siila Mist can be purchased a parody of Sierra Mist featuring cello from atlas's Digital Devil Saga games and portable social link characters May wander into Tartarus if not saved they die ending the social link prematurely these include bichi kitamura and micho ohashi jun's second Awakening Tris mistas is holding a philosopher stone in its mouth to reference Hermes Tris magistus being the pioneer of alchemy akihiko's second Awakening Caesar wields a giant sword yet he cannot learn any slash moves is is he stupid like does he know how a sword works in the Persona 3 manga the Kira only uses three personas orus thos and Messiah the geokon high school emblem shares many similarities with the BMW automobile logo after the game's opening days if you refuse to go tardus for 10 entire days meiru will reprimand you for being so careless and force you to enter Tardis and prevent you from leaving until sufficient progress has been made did you know Messiah has an exclusive skill the ever so gracefully named magic skill up is learned at level 98 in portable but actually this skill exists in all other versions of P3 but was just dummied out for reasons unknown depending on which weapon aigus has equipped her battle lines change in the side quest I want to play two in PQ the game pokes fun at the fact that Theodore and kanji look quite similar even comparing them to Long loss Brothers PQ also has an unused animation of aigus dancing like cello from Digital Devil Saga likely used to test the game's animations P3 dancing tells us that the hero doesn't physically enter the Velvet room as his friends mention from their perspective that he's just staring off into space P3 FES added a whopping 22 new personas to the game these include wapo hi pixie yakini shisa tho Alp kumanda Mothman impusa Rock shasa Heaton kyus helliker ghoul yonger Pazuzu Mara cardia balyo Suna halel nehog and adaka while Persona 3 Portable added only four Tomlin Neo Shogun mcoy and Satanta speaking of fours the Reapers total HP being 4,444 as a reference to the Japanese word for four she sounding similar to the word for death shin and is generally considered an unlucky number in Japan geeko kanhai features Greek architecture like large pillars and stone gazebos to reference the game's Greek mythological Origins the Aon Arcana is special in the sense that instead of originating from the rer weight tarot like the other cards in the game the Aon suit is from the Thoth deck created by Alistar Crowley British occultist and self-proclaimed the Beast 666 sounds like a gamer tag but I don't think they had those back then Elizabeth's character design was based to resemble a' 70s style elevator attendant whilst her brother is intended to reflect the image of a hotel bell boy koraru is based off haiko a real life dog with a similar story confusing enough the real life haiko is referenced in Persona 5 so where I guess a lot there's a lot of loyal dogs out there before settling for Theodore the male velvet attendant named candidates were Elio or Elliot the blocks of p3s dungeon Tartarus are named after the seven Heavens in Judaism whilst the levels in the answer are named after the circles of hell in Dante's Divine Comedy despite what you might think aigus is considered to be the official mascot of Persona 3 and not koraru in an episode of persona stalkers Club it said shinjuro wears a coat even during the summertime due to the pills he takes preventing his body from regulating temperature properly the spin-off novel Shadow cry is written from the perspective of str's Jin and features events prior and during the game story K nao's family business from the first Persona has canonically merged with the kuio group as indicated by The Game's glossery revealed by aigus in Persona Q one of yukari's hobbies is apparently enjoying fanfiction when she's not doing that when performing as the pink Phoenix Ranger yukari takaba apparently does her own stunts as we see in Persona 4 ultimax in the same game we learned from the pre-battle quote that Jee is apparently a resette fan I can fight now I'll show you reset for real no way the P3 club book tells us that kenada frequently browses the website run by Persona Balu the shirt of shy costume has a single kanji character on the back which when translated reflects the character who's wearing it the MC's translates to honorable man jun's translates to tint of color or lust which seems more appropriate akihiko translates to hit Ken's Grudge and Shino says life aigus cannot be poisoned by shadows in the journey but she can be in the answer fimon is the blue butterfly seen in the games cinematics and cutcenes Social Links in P3 can become reversed or even broken to reverse a social link there's a few ways to go about it one option is to ignore them for many days another is to pick a rude option during a social link that can upset them too and reverse the link or you can double book on a day you plan to spend time with someone that will also upset them but to break a social link you must be intimate with a character but spend time with another boy or girl before finishing the link the character will notice this behavior and confront you about it and if you admit that things are over between you yeah the social link will break forever and can no longer be continued if you fight the secret boss before fuka joins she will still show up as the Navigator who is that I don't know who are you to help advertise the release of the Persona 3 movie at sega's Joy palis amusement park the Persona 3 escape room escape from the Dark Hour was held in collaboration with Rio ski park the Persona 3 skis featuring Thanos were sold for roughly $400 which to this day Remains the most expensive Persona 3 merchandise in addition to understanding dogs like Karu IUS can also understand the speech of monkeys such as ryuji in pq2 there is dummied out text that references the fan Cannon name for femy being homo the initial release of the North American version of p3p had untranslated text for Yo's 10th social link in the comic Anthology Tartarus theater aigus makes a disturbing face mocking an unfortunate looking Kosmos figure from zenos Saga too in the same comic it's revealed that fuko's favorite luxury brand is Old Navy P's cut scenes were animated by Point Pictures who also work on the opening sequences for steinsgate akihiko's Japanese voice actor Hikaru madori Kawa was reportedly terrified of poly deus's appearance upon first seeing it Persona 3 has a ton of mobile games from Persona 3 em broken Shadow aigus first mission and Persona 3 escape the male Hero has amazing rapping skills sadly the viewer can never hear them as the medium where this is shown is the Persona 3 manga personas eio and penosa have unused physical attack animations which normally cannot be seen as they learn no physical attacks in the anime ha no Goku a visual is found in the background for a department store featuring the clothing of persona 3's party members ortable Jinn and Takaya receives Buffs to their magic stat and damage output despite this they still completely suck eggs in the arena games when Elizabeth and her sister are shocked they do not appear to have skeletons like other characters in the roster indicating they may be boneless one of messiah's heart items can be the omnipotent orb an accessory that blocks all sources of damage except Almighty however the chances of this are very very low Messiah learning the skill absorb Pierce can be a reference to Jesus Christ being pierced by an unnamed Roman soldier who stabbed him with a lance at his crucifixion in the magician boss cut scene an animation error exists where the hero has a CE armband despite not yet joining the femy was given Nagin nadas as her signature weapon because the staff members found the idea of a girl wielding an oversized weapon to be cute also according to siries illustrator Shori soima orus f is still male but just has long feminine hair all the street names on the world map are written in French for some reason shout out to CLA Delon Road despite claiming to do her best I guess his grades are below average as seen at school on October 19th that was out of pocket I'm sorry I got a D too I'm just projecting when picking a dog breed to make koraru the staff at one point considered a dalmati jyn's Persona hypnos wears a sleeping mask a reference to him being the personification of sleep in Fes jyn's Arcana is inaccurately labeled as Fortune when it should be the hermit during the Moonlight Bridge boss fight and this last one could technically be a spoiler so click off now if you don't want to hear it but in the Persona 3 club book it's revealed that the moon in the Persona universe is actually the remnants of an outer space object known as a Star Eater colliding with a newly formed Earth that's right the Moon is an alien
