same.

Not sure about a Persona convention specifically, but I know that I lot of these guys do meet & greets at just about every major convention in the US! I've been to a handful of different cons in the general east coast area, and so far I've gotten to meet Robbie Daymond at Momo-Con in Atlanta Georgia (Max and Ray were there as well, I just didn't have nearly enough time or money to see all of them on top of every other cool thing happening there haha), as well as Erika Harlacher and Zeno Robinson (voice of Junpei in P3R) at Kami-Con in Birmingham Alabama! I'd recommend just checking out which cons are happening near you, and take a look at the guest lists on their websites. Not only do so many of the coolest VAs go to these, but there are also tons of artists, bands, vendors and just generally really cool and creative people to go and see/support at these events. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you get to meet 'em all someday!!

@@vacated3188 I have been looking around. I know there aren’t any persona specific conventions. But just imagine every VA from every Persona team collected in one spot to just geek about persona. I can at least meet LAVA later this summer along with Cherami and some other VAs I want to meet at Animate!. And if we’re being technical, I have met 4 Persona VAs. I met Aleks Le, Tara Platt, and Yuri all at Galaxycon, and met Bryce Pappenbrook at MTAC, all such nice and friendly people.

@@Nabbitman Oh nice! You’ve met lots of P3 folks, I’m jealous! Lol

That would be “Reunion With Master” from SMT 3 Nocturne (more specifically the original midi version that plays in game as opposed to the remastered version that’s on the official soundtrack). - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/b4OQq26baJeSrac.htmlsi=B0SMF3z8LaKxTRKG Thanks for watching!!

That would be the track "Seal" from the Persona 3 FES soundtrack. Thanks you so much for watching!!

Thank you!! This trailer was honestly just such a spontaneous shitpost, but I'm so glad to see that someone (besides me, of course) found it enjoyable lol But for real though, I too am beyond grateful that the video has done so well, and am just absolutely floored by all of the insanely positive reception! It's been such a wild ride, and I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

@@vacated3188 hey absolutely, I’ve really been enjoying the video as I chip away at it during patches of free time. Wanted to see what else you’ve made so I came across this and was pretty surprised not to see any comments. The concept is fun, the voice acting is great, so I just wanted to convey that.

I've actually never played it before, though I absolutely need to! Thank you for watching, so glad you enjoyed the video!!

Thank for the thoughtful comment! I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the video. If I might ask, could you elaborate a little bit more on your criticisms? I feel like "observing how the literary devices in P3 create meaning and connect to the theme of death" is pretty much exactly what I did here, especially in the video's second half. I'm no scholar though, so I could be wrong, and I'm always open and willing to hear out any criticisms that viewers may have. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

​@@vacated3188 Of course! Thank you for being so open-minded and following-up! I seriously think you did a very great job connecting your ideas to the theme of death. Although in my opinion that is only half the battle. My main critique is that much of your content was summary based rather than analysis driven. For example, in your 'analysis' of Part IX, it was very obvious that you established a connection between memento mori and choosing not to kill Ryoji. Which was a beautiful insight. But where there was room for further analysis, you tended to simply recall the next few events of P3 in a glorified manner (aka summary with descriptive language). For instance, "upon taking Ryoji's life, the game fast forwards to March and all of the characters are back to their normal lives. No dark hour, no personas, just ordinary high school lives (1:44:02)." In and of itself, its neither good nor bad. Especially if you want to be inclusive of a wide audience. However, assuming that this video's audience is those who have already played P3, it just felt like a lot of 'fluff' with no real in-depth analysis. Piggybacking off of what you said in Part IX, I might have added something like, "Ryoji's enthusiastic diction coupled with his somber, understanding tone, highlights his commitment to leaving the protagonist with a happy life. Ultimately displaying that human beings often take being happy in life as the equivalent to being or feeling alive. In the end, the argument of Persona 3 tends to lean towards living a life where death can serve as a constant reminder; suggesting that with the greatest presence of death, human beings are the most alive."

​@@DAC-oy3sv Ahh, alright, I can understand this for sure! To your first point about it being too summary-based, I certainly get that and even agree to an extent. I don't particularly enjoy watching recap-based content myself, and really only took that particular approach since this was pretty much my first real piece of long-form video essay content, and I simply felt it to be the easiest way to keep a sense of continuity and tie everything together. I absolutely see the flaws with doing things in this way though and fully intend to move in a more free-flowing, "experimental", direction with future videos and their scripting. In regards to the example you gave using Part IX: I certainly could've taken each of the points of analysis a lot further, I will admit (Not just with Part IX, but the whole thing, honestly). I just suppose that when it comes to my way of approaching analysis-type content, I tend to want to respect the viewers' intelligence as much as possible and not run the risk of coming across like I'm bashing them over the head with things that may otherwise be obvious. Like, for instance, your version of what could've been said for Ryoji is beautifully written and to the point, but is ultimately nothing that I feel wasn't communicated in some way during the whole of Part IX, whether directly or subtextually. Like, a viewer wouldn't necessarily need me to explain that many people think the way that Ryoji does, with him representing said belief; Instead, I chose to focus more specifically on discussing the unique way in which Ryoji's overall presentation in the game paints a fascinating picture of how the games' writers almost respectfully disagree with this way of thinking, which to me feels like a much more valuable observation than simply explaining it all in great detail just for analysis' sake. But hey, that's just my way of thinking about it, and I don't find your criticisms wrong or invalid by any means. In fact, I think it's such an honor that others online have taken time out of their day to watch my video and drop their two cents on ways in which they feel I could be doing it even better. I really appreciate you taking the time, man, seriously. Thanks so much for watching, and have a great one!!

@@vacated3188 hey man, keep it up! It’s not common that someone tries to make a video essay just for the heck of it. When it comes to writing or putting ur opinion out there, as long as it comes from within you and your personal effort that’s all I or anyone should ever ask for. So great job and I’m glad this was an open dialogue for means of personal improvement. In no way was my comment an effort to derail you. Simply trying to make everyone seek/find their best selves. Hope I was able to help! Have a good one and I look forward to seeing your future content!
