So I was playing Persona 3 FES, and I got this during a tough battle. Never knew characters could retreat from battle if they are at low health. You learn something new about your favorite games every day.

This is a sequel to this post I made in January. Thought I'd share the alleged "subliminal effect" commercial for Persona 3. I've left a link to the original file on Archive.org, as well as a transcription of what is said on there.

テストROMをプレイして正直びっくりした。 ウチの人間にここまでやれるとは思っていなかった。 これだけの作品だ。絶対に売りたい。広告戦略も大胆にやろう。そう心に決めた。 既にWEBサーバーは何度もパンクしかかってるが、僕の仕事はより多くのアクセスをもたらすことだ。むしろパンクさせてやろうじゃないか（そんなことを言うと現場の人間や上長に殴られそうだが・・・）より多くの人にこの作品のことを知ってもらいたい気持ちの方が強い。 そう思って作ったTVCM・・・。 まさか、あんなことになるとは思わなかった。 TVCMは放送する前に、TV局の審査にかけなくてはならない。 そこでまさかの審判が下った。 「サブリミナルCM」だと言うのだ・・・。 そんなはずない・・・！ 僕は何度も何度も作ったフィルムを見直した。 というか放送期限までギリギリの状況で、一体どこを修正すれば・・・。 と憤慨してみたが・・・ 目まぐるしく移り変わる画面を眺めていると 耳鳴りがしてきた。 確かに、これは、サブリミナル・・・なのかもしれない。このタイトスケジュールの中、修正作業をしなければならない…そんなことを考えるとクラクラしてきた。 気分転換のために窓から顔を出すと、空が緑色に染まって見えた。 あれ…？東京の大気汚染はここまで進んでいたのか？ 気づいたら他のスタッフの姿が見えない。 耳鳴りが酷い。 空は相変わらずの緑色だ。 昨夜から降り続く雨が作った水溜りが真っ赤に染まって見えた。

#persona 3 #websites back then were really crazy #and the fact that this alleged “subliminal commercial” exists is also crazy #i fucking love diving into the depths of persona 3 content on the internet

Whatever you do, if you see the Freedom Gundam or Throne Drei at your wedding, things are gonna get ugly. Especially if you see Throne Drei, cause Nena Trinity WILL fire upon you.

Reminder that Vanilla Persona 3 has been outdated since 2007 when FES first came out. If you have a copy of Vanilla, use it to play FES (Append Edition, if you have a Japanese copy of both of them, Append was never released in the US) or use the save file transfer to carry over your compendium and social stats to make your FES run a bit easier. FES is still the best way to play the PS2 version of Persona 3, and both Portable and Reload don’t invalidate FES as an option for your first Persona 3 experience, since all 3 are good ways to experience Persona 3.

If you like Vanilla Persona 3, that’s perfectly fine! Everyone’s entitled to their own preferences. That being said, FES did add many QOL features and new content (The Answer, Aigis Social Link, Elizabeth Dates, etc.) that it’s hard to go back to Vanilla Persona 3 for some.

Ah, you want to get into Persona 3?

Well, first you have to play FES, Portabe and Reload. Yes, all 3 of them. It's called Persona 3 for a reason.

Then, read the manga and watch the anime. While neither are a flawless adaptation, each one give an insight on different things relating to the characters/specific scenes and are very worth your time.

CD Dramas are a must since they're canon and have plot pieces and slice of life segments between the characters. (Translations)

Play Persona Q, Q2, Arena and Dancing. Like them or hate them, they give you info about the characters at the most random times.

Now learn Japanese.

Read the novels, again they give you insight into the characters that isn't shown in the games. (Velvet Blue has been fan-translated!)

Get all the arbooks and fanbooks to read the interviews since they mention lore bits only written there (do they even make fanbooks for games anymore?)

Watch the stageplay, all 10 acts. Aside from the stellar performances, songs and actors, they also flesh out characters like FeMC and Strega. (Avaible worldwide at Theater Complex in HD for just $5)

I want to keep this atlus staff-only works, but an important exception: While not canon since they're by-fans-for-fans, you have over 40 comic anthologies to read! They're very fun, worth your time and money.

Now get a time machine

Read Atlus Net's posts for P3 development info. (Some saved via Internet Archive)

Get a JP phone and play the P3 mobile games like Escape, EM and ATFM. While it's debatable if they're canon or not since a few bits contradict the games, it's still official P3 content and explain a few story stuff (ATFM has a full recording and rought translation, Escape has recordd bits)

🎉🎉🎉 Congrats!

You're a fan now and know aprox. 50% of P3's canon 👍 I hope you had fun

Here’s a video with subs for this. Just in case it becomes lost media in the future. Also went to the trouble of snapping that on the Wayback Machine so people could be aware of this marketing stunt.
