I feel so bad for the MC in persona 3. I really like this game but damn this guy has gone through a lot in his short life. 1.)Both his parents die horribly and he saw the entire thing thus leaving him probably emotionally scared for life and detached from his emotions plus being forced live life alone without any living relatives or friends to relate too (As far as i know of, sorry if in wrong), most likely trapped in foster care until his transfer to that high school. 2.) On that same day He becomes the container for the embodiment of death just because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and he was the closet living thing around. 3.) Spends the entire game forced to listen to how hard his friends lives are with one relative either dead or incapacitated but when people mention his parents it like "oh, sorry about that." and is never spoken of again or its brush off entirely as fake in the case of the other students 4.) He finds out that its partly his fault the world might end not only because of his believe that killing the shadows would fix things but because hes the container of the shadow that will unwillingly shoved into his body that will help destroy the world. No one barley asks if hes OK or tries to help. In fact at first he was blamed by Junpei. 5.) He becomes a messiah, sacrificing his life energy to seal an all mighty spirit with only a couple of weeks to live where his soul my never find peace in the afterlife.

The look of wonder, and innocence in the Main characters eyes is beautiful. The reflection of space in his eyes shows a sense of emptiness, yet he is prepared to take on death itself. Truly a tear-jerking moment, one that gets me every time when paired with the music at 4:12. He is essentially accepting his fate, as the contract required.

4:12.. this song is so touching it makes me tear up when i hear it...

I watch this whenever I need a dose of the feels.

The Kirijo group used to be a part of the Nanjo group with is Kei's group in Persona 2. Also if you watch the TV every night, sometimes they'll talk about characters from Persona 2 in interviews. That's about it.

Well I cryed again and ima cry again when getting to this part cause playing even after your done never gets old

Hearing Shinji's voice just made me cry

Then i Cry as a baby for 15 min...

I absolutely LOVE the ending to this game, the fight with Nyx up to the MC's unfortunate demise (or sleep as Arena states). It's all so fantastically brilliant.

The cutscene of Tarturus dissolving with the bell toll is so great.

I lost all my progress of this game a few weeks ago(120 Hrs), so I came to see the end that so much anehele for months, damn is so sad. ;-;

+D23Player Yep.

As great as P3 is, when I watched the movies with a friend of mine who hadn't played the games, his questions really made me realize some plot holes or perhaps, a lack of information would be the better phrase. What determines a Persona user having control over their Personas? I had to brush it off as saying it must be related to mental fortitude or the brunt of a person's motivations and sense of purpose but it is never properly explained. Why DO Shinji and Strega have to take supplements to be able to control them? Why are they naturally 'weak' otherwise? We never know. Yet another which was completely dropped is the whole 'ransomed murder' Strega was doing when they were first introduced. They were supposedly being employed by random people to kill other random people who also conveniently happened to be potential Persona users otherwise they couldn't even kill them in the Dark Hour. Like what, they found some employers who knows about the Dark Hour and specifically target people who are still active in it? If it's just any warrant, their target could very well be just a normal person. It's convenient for them that they are getting rid of potential Persona users in the Dark Hour by doing this but ehhh, what? Who signed them up to this and how are all their targets conveniently able to function in the Dark Hour? Here's one that changes the entire premise as a whole. The Shadows were gathered for the experiment which quite literally bombed, right? The Dark Hour and Tartarus were therefore created by this. The game however tells us multiple times that the Shadows ONLY exist within the Dark Hour and Tartarus. So my question is, one that changes the premise as I said, where did the original Shadows prior to the Dark Hour and Tartarus resided and how were they even captured to be studied, let alone existed in our world? (This point MAY have something to do with P1 and P2 as the possible answers may be there. I am sadly unknowledgeable about them but seeing as there is nothing else relating those games to the newer ones, I doubt it.) And finally, although I believe this was only said in the movie, the very first time there was potential danger to a vehicle or structure, the monorail, Mitsuru told us that there would be a 'paradox' if anything was to be harmed during the Dark Hour. So uh... Moonlight Bridge, anyone? That's all I could think of right now but there could honestly be more. I'd be extremely happy if there were consistent explanations for these as it'd cause me to love this game even more than I already do. I do think these inconsistencies mostly stem from the fact that P3 doesn't share P4's theme of 'seeking out the truth' as the whole purpose of that game is to not leave plotholes, not leave a single rock unturned. P3 is far more about loss and perseverance (P4 shares the second aspect in refusing to accept lies and take easy exits but it's still a more prevalent aspect in P3) in comparison. Loss of someone dear (Pretty much every character has lost a loved one) as well as the loss of hope and subsequently, moving on to become a better, stronger person and work toward a brighter future. Even if truth is not the tone the game is going for, these inconsistencies damage it badly in my eyes and I would be delighted to hear some proper explanations if there are any!

@daiyahigashikata

Жыл бұрын

the first two are answered. strega were artificial persona users created by the kirijo group, so they required suppressants to keep their personas from killing them. shinjiro required them too after the incident with ken's mother. as for strega's actions before meeting SEES, they were employed by themselves. they never mention an employer. people contact strega if they want revenge, then they do it. (small edit: just like the shadows, persona users seem to be able to open the coffins if they want to. not sure if this is ever mentioned but it's what it looks like) the game says shadows come from human emotions. from this, we can guess the kirijo group obtained them somehow using this information. this point isn't explained very well however, especially not in the movies. mitsuru doesn't say there would be a paradox in the game, she says there would be panic if a disaster suddenly happened overnight. ikutsuki says he was "dreading tomorrow's headlines" before they stopped the monorail incident

Alright I have played FES and The Answer but I was wondering if it was ever implicitly stated that the MC died before The Answer came out or is it just implied like in the final cutscene.

@arielcerecer142

5 жыл бұрын

Well, its implied. The great seal attacks costs all of your hp, and after the fight, the game tells you constantly that you are way too tired. Plus the aigis scene with the cherrh blossoms and stuff. But the answer pretty much confirmed it

The best ending of the series and it ain’t close, this is imo the best ending of any video game

When you are the only save the world it feels lonely

when you get to the end on your casual and very easy playthrough and nyx enrages you while repel all things is up so you instantly lose while he has like one hit left in him.

Yeah, not to forget but most, if not all, of the S-Links in 3 are thematically tied to the protags choice-4 has a more diverse series of motifs(and some people say the ending comes out of nowhere).

Yeah, I have an idea for 5 where they bring all the characters together, so like the trailer would be just amazing with Ulala and Akihiko boxing and stuff. Like Elizabeth is clearly trying to get the protagonist from 3 out of his seal.

nanako is still adorable

Since the movie is official, and even the manga went on Atlus' official Persona magazines, according to my source, it could also be canon. Forgive me for my mistakes. tl;dr P4 Anime+games=Yu Narukami canon ---->P3 Move=Makoto Yuki canon? Following my logic makes it seem so. Sorry.

Persona 3 FES is one of the best games I have ever laid my hands on, but I do have a slight problem with the ending. I am not a fan of games where the protagonist dies at the end, even moreso with a game like this where you spend almost 100 hours building him into a character you can truly call your own. Even though I partially dislike the ending, I would recommend this game in a heartbeat. Have seen a max social link run (along with all books read) of Persona 4 Golden and I cannot wait to get a Vita. If I were to compare the two right now, Persona 4 would get a slight edge due to the ending and some social links. It would be more like a 1a and 1b type of ranking though. Atlus, you make great games. Looking forward to being able to play Persona Q as well.
