Persona 3 Reload (100%/Merciless) – Part #15: Art Club Buddies
Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJQZtsZNm8a5iCfgfyddZl-8nnZrJFjDM
In this part, we continue our free time while we wait for the next Full Moon. Today we join the Art Club at school, which unlocks two new Social Links for us! We also unlock
Tips for today:
– Night activities with the other members of S.E.E.S is a new way to spend nights in this remake. Your goal is to spend three nights with each character on each activity they’re interested in, which means six nights with each party member. How you split these up is completely up to you! Just don’t neglect your Social Stat grinding, especially if you haven’t maxed any of your stats yet. I recommend maxing out Courage first.

0:59 [Italics are First thoughts]
“Considering Junpei & I were also recruited shortly after we were shown to have the potential (I mean, after I woke up from a coma), it seems par for the course.”
17:04 “Dang it, now I wanna romance Elizabeth!” Little did I know…
35:29 I’m sure many people thought this was a hint that joining the art club was the way to unlocking Fuuka’s Social Link right then & there.
41:58 It’s like chicken soup, but without the salty stuff.
59:01 There actually is dialogue with Elizabeth, if you talk to her after getting a Level 99+ Jack Frost.
1:13:33 “Ooh, tell me more.”
1:13:36 “…Go on…”
1:13:57 “Not that broad of a description, but still…”
1:14:02 “Wait… ‘emo’?”
1:14:11 “…Uh-oh.”
1:14:14 “Uh-oh!”
1:14:19 [Verbal] “Uh-oh!”
1:14:45 “…Maybe I can romance ‘her’. Maybe they changed things, due to P5(R)…”
1:14:57 In the original, playing with Maya would take up both the day & night free time. I wouldn’t blame the game devs if they decided to make this one session go with that use of time, as if we needed to be alone to process that moment of insanity.
1:18:21 This is why transoms above the doors are a good idea.
Kids with guns thank god nothing wrong can happen
1:02:41 GOODEST BOY DETECTED!!! 🚨🚨🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! I REPEAT, THE GOODEST BOY HAS BEEN SPOTTED!!!🚨🚨🚨
Great work.
1:13:36 Vine boom. Don't think you can hide memes from me!
Very nice.
Okay, the vine booms you added during Maya's Rank 8 had me cracking up
I like that you get to spend time with your friends at the dorm. I don't know how much spare time where you can just do whatever near the end of the game, but it'd be fun to just hang out with people even after maxing them out. Junpei's room looks exactly like I'd expect it to. The thing is, it doesn't even look messy to me, which might also be a bad thing. I like that sound you put in Maya's conversation. I'd have no clue how to react.
13:45 In the og version choosing the first option would get Hidetoshi and the rebellious student to notice you, and therefore avoid the latter punching the former. I wonder if the removal was a change made in P3P.
22:37 ah, that's so wishful, Iori.
23:33 foreshadowing…
30:36 pretty great activities to spend time with the party members honestly. The dvd and book activities aren't really that interesting, even if they increase social stats, other than they still have to be done for the party members, but the gardening and cooking ones are the ones that are indeed worth doing. The cooking activities will always give the same items related to their corresponding characters, but the ones from gardening will be different depending on what you plant, and how it works is that you get extra and more or less improved versions of these items when you go grab them if you went gardening with anyone, and this can be done so that you get a lot more of the same plant if you did this activity with more than one person. On a side note, it's funny that Junpei pretty much gives lower quality versions of the plant you cultivate for the most part, like giving plants that restore less SP than the normal version, although to compensate not only they don't really replace the plant you cultivated originally, the plants you get with Junpei come in a much higher amount than the ones from the other party members that do this activity.
Fun fact: On the 2nd playthrough I did for this game, the new game plus one, I ended up starting really early the two SL that can only be done in the night, way before these activities where available, to see how close I could get to finishing them before then. I think I managed to beat one of those just right when you could do the dorm activities, and the other was finished right before June was over. You know, just to finish these SL quickly to avoid having to do them right when the dorm activitied were available, although, in hindsight, I think it isn't that of a deal breaker since there's some days when there'll be no activities to do with the others, so you can spend those nights doing the SL.
34:57 if only…
38:09 heh, and we still have half of the SL in the game to start yet. I think of the Fortune SL/confidants so far, this one might be the most normal or less unique one compared to the others that came later imo.
54:46 wow! This is really terrible!!
55:45 and thus now starts the SL of the most normal P3 party member.
58:40 true! Makes doing this little activity more easy.
59:11 that's something I actually did in new game plus, and when you go and choose the option to have a talk with Elizabeth she actually gets surprised and happy that you raised a Jack Frost to level 99. I think I only missed giving him diamond dust to fully make him into a true lethal joke character.
1:13:33 boom vine
1:14:33 I'm not even surprised at this point lol.
1:14:56 Idk if that would make me happy, surprised, or disturbed. I bet more on the latter tbh lol.
1:19:26 yeah, it could've been way worser lol.
thanks for the video 🫣
