having characters named: Tatsuya Suou, Katsuya Suou, Tatsuya Sudou, and Tatsuzou Sudou all in the same game in the same conversation is actually sadistic 😂

this game is literally "you must break the pattern today or the loop will repeat tomorrow"

"Call him ranch cause he's dressing" really tickled my funny bone, bless

Every thing I read or see about Baofu makes me think he'd be a memetic icon if this game was more widely popular back in its time.

imagine a life without katsuya suou.... we are so lucky that EP exists for that reason alone

BABE WAKE UP COURTNEY POSTED A NEW PERSONA VIDEO

I love that this video has two central themes: "Courtney has just caught up with HBO's Last of Us" and "fuck Ohio"

I love how P1 and P2 IS and EP are a full trilogy with so many characters coming back. I wish that the newer age Persona games had even a sprinkle of this. (Outside of Ultimax)

Sharing a tidbit of lore I remember from interviews with the Demon Artist himself, Kazuma Kaneko

So even Katsuya’s ambition to become a pastry chef comes from Tatsuya. He was making donuts for him as a kid and it was the first time he really managed to connect with him with all the messiness of their family life.
It is SO WHOLESOME it’s just amazing, Katsuya is such a cuddly dork beneath his amazing suit.

The Naruto references and the "pair of doc martens" joke had me wheezing

I’m finding it difficult to stop thinking about the phrase “Nicholas of ticholas”.

The Persona 2 remake gonna be something when it eventually comes out.

All the world governments saw Courtney posted another Persona recap and just decided to have world peace, crazy influence this chosen gamer has 🙏

Aww it seems you didn't include the Tatsuya scenarios in the video! They're playable side segments from the PSP port where you follow Tatsuya's side of the story before (and a bit after) he joins the party and they have some of the best writing in the game imo. It explores his angst and internal struggle with Nyarlathotep in more details. Plus there's a sweet plotline where he bonds with a police officer named Shiori who's been sheltering him while he's running away from home. Shiori's brother Takaya was also one of Tatsuya Sudou's murder victims on This Side, replacing the Alaya Shrine incident from the Other Side.

In the side story, we also meet the Suou brothers' dad who's very much alive, he's just not involved in the main plot. And then the final part is this crazy dungeon crawl through an eldritch tower where you battle eldritch abominations to save Shiori who's been demonized. This part of the game confirms that the world of P2 takes place in the same universe as the Cthulu Mythos stories and has you interacting with original Lovecraft characters lol. These side stories made Tatsuya my fav Persona protagonist by a long shot because it depicts his internal turmoil so well.

George Washington as the Night Mother is simultaneously the worst and best idea i've heard today.

One of the greatest rpgs of all time. Tsumi and Batsu represent amazing character development and story. And it is all so very punishingly dark. So slept on.

33:15 - It’s all good, the old dictionary meaning for the word gay was just a synonym for happiness and bliss. Baofu is just having the time of his life with the new intel.

Masao went to study overseas and Ayase became a housewife and doesnt communicate with the P1 gang anymore, thats why they dont show up in any of the P2s

Babe wake up, Courtney uploaded another banger on an obscure but beloved game!

My favorite persona game such a beautiful ending to the duology/ trilogy thanks for covering this Courtney
