Persona 3/Unused Cutscenes

From The Cutting Room Floor
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a sub-page of Persona 3.

Hmmm...
To do:
  • Include E330_002.
  • Transcribe the cutscene text, and translate the ones left in Japanese.
  • There's more unused cutscenes.

By using the cutscene editor, you can access some unused cutscenes. Some are still in Japanese, while others are entirely voiced in English.

Story

E110_001

An unused cutscene of the main character being introduced to his class, left entirely in Japanese. Though there's a translation below;

Toriumi: "Hello, I will be the homeroom teacher for class 2-F. I am your English teacher, and my name is Toriumi. Pleased to meet you all."
Toriumi: "We're about to have our welcoming ceremony in a moment, but first I'll  introduce a new transfer to you."
Yukari: "Wait... We're in the same class?"
Toriumi: "Oh, Takeba. You already know him?"
Yukari: "K-Kind of..."
Male Classmate: "What's this about...?"
Male Classmate: "What's with them?"
Female Classmate: "I wonder..."
Female Classmate: "I heard someone saw them come to school together. I mean, not that I care personally, but..."
>You can feel everybody whispering about you...
Toriumi: "Now, please introduce yourself to the class."
>Hi, it's me. Nice to meet you.
>Please don't bully me, okay...
>Dare lay a finger upon me, and I shall smite you!
-
>Nobody's really reacting...
Toriumi: It's nice to meet you as well.
Toriumi: Alright, everyone, go to the meeting hall now. Anyone who's late will receive a good scolding.
-
>You heard some people giggling...
Toriumi: Ahaha, is that a way to introduce yourself?
Toriumi: Alright, everyone, go to the meeting hall now. Anyone who's late will receive a good scolding.
-
>You felt a cold glare on you...
Toriumi: Ahaha, look out everyone, we've got a badass here.
Toriumi: Alright, everyone, go to the meeting hall now. Anyone who's late will receive a good scolding.

E127_002

An unused cutscene meant for after the protagonist recovers from his Persona awakening, where the protagonist talks with his homeroom teacher.

E131_001

An unused cutscene with Yukari at the dorm after the protagonist recovers from his Persona awakening. According to the sound files, this scene should come before the previous one, but it comes afterwards in the files. There are similar oddities in the ordering of sound archives in the early portions of the game.

E132_001

An unused scene at school, before Junpei joins the team.

E157_001

An unused scene with Yukari, before Akihiko returns to the team.

E330_002

This cutscene is supposed to be the anime cutscene for when Nyx Avatar appears. Usually for anime cutscenes, placeholder event files are added. When played in an event viewer however, the event just ends immediately. Among this one though, this cutscene in particular has early dialogue for the next cutscene, which is the first encounter with Nyx Avatar, E330_003. Since there's no actual scenes for this early cutscene and just dialogue, only the text will be shown here

E331_005

This cutscene is present in the final game, but the line "How marvelous! I cannot believe the moment has finally arrived!" is unused. It was later re-added in Persona 3 Portable.

E992_001

Unused scene originally part of the bunker Full Moon Operation.

Social Events

Early Hermit Social Link

An early version of the Hermit social link. The early version of Rank 4 is the same as the final version of the first rank. Ranks 6/7 and 8/9 are identical to one another. Later ranks lack proper animations.

E519_200

Elementary, my dear Cactus.
This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: The kanji used here seem totally wrong, making the text very difficult to decipher. Did the kanji table change during development? (For example, 俺 is likely supposed to be 遅, and 階 is likely supposed to be 貸.)

An untranslated, unfinished reversal for the Hanged Man social link.

E760_200

An untranslated, unfinished reversal for the Moon social link.

Other

E603_001

This cutscene is impossible to load in-game, as it uses some file formats not supported by the game. This is because this cutscene is leftover from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, though it's unknown which cutscene exactly.
