  A huge thank you to Lani Minella for lending her voice as Maya in the intro. Please check out her IMDb page: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0591115/">https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0591115/</a>

  One of the things I think is cool about Persona 2 is how the mindsets of the character differ between each game. In Innocent Sin, the cast is very reactive while in Eternal Punishment they&apos;re proactive. In IS, one of the earliest missions is to destroy school emblems, but it&apos;s a preventative measure- They aren&apos;t taking initiative by doing so. On the other hand, EP has Maya destroying a school emblem specifically so that she can pursue Tatsuya, it&apos;s a choice to move towards the future. This is probably the single biggest reason why the EP cast succeeded while the IS cast failed- The IS cast was content to be strung around by the riddles of their enemies but never made any effort to get ahead of them, while the EP cast was actively working to try to accomplish their goal.

  I never liked endings where everyone forgets there adventure. But there is something about persona 2 showing that the mind and body can easily forget. But the soul will always remember

  I wonder what Carl Jung would think of the P2 duology if he was still alive

  seriously, after playing every main persona game for several hours, even after being emotionally devastated by the likes of persona 3 and it&apos;s incredible message, ending, and cast, being absolutely sucked into persona 5 as a whole, and loving innocent sin every single bit, i still believe that eternal punishment is my favorite persona game out of the entire series, the vibe is so unlike anything else i&apos;ve seen come from persona or even smt as a whole, people can say all they want about whether or not they think it&apos;s &quot;outdated&quot; but honestly i think it holds up perfectly, it&apos;s only outdated in the sense of the hardware it&apos;s on and nothing else, it still looks amazing in some places like the final dungeon and if the resolution were higher it would be actually perfect, and personally, i found the gameplay to be really fun, with my only complaint being my preference of a proper fusion system over the card currency system in place in both p2 games, though it far from ruined anything. i could talk about how much i adore the story and it&apos;s ideas too, but then this comment would probably rival the length of this video lol<br><br>thanks a ton for making these analysis videos, they&apos;re very well done and it&apos;s nice to see more love for what may be some of my favorite games <b>ever</b> at this point, if we ever get a modern day re-release of either of the p2 games in some form, then i will officially declare this the best timeline possible

  That beginning made me smile so much. Hearing Lani as Maya again would be pretty cool imo.
