So I just finished Persona 3.

You should've braced yourself, anon. His fate was foreshadowed many times in the game. With that said I still teared up a bit at the end too

Its only natural to feel that way about the best persona game.

>>385582170
Its been talked about over and over, especially in the past few days
Its a damn good game though

>>385579278
Maybe not the best combat
or dungeons
or pacing
but damn it had the best story, shit.
Yes, its normal senpai.

OP here, I really enjoyed the entire game. I bought it and P4 two years back on a whim because I was looking for rpgs. God, this game hit me hard. The gameplay was fun as fuck, despite sometimes being annoying as hell (Instant death Hama and Mudo were a ball kicker during the beginning), the story slowly got me into the characters and made me care about each of them. I loved the Social Links and getting to know characters which also gave me a boost in battle, and I was shocked with a few of the story moments.

Overall, this would have to be one of my new favorites of all time. And damn, that ending. I'm still thinking about it.

I understand, not many games leave you with the bittersweet taste of P3.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Do you plan on playing P4 next?

Whatever you do don't play The Answer. It's one of those sequels so bad it ruins the game before it.

No. That's what it feels like to actually play a good game.

>>385583381
Jesus, that really got me. No fucking clue that Shinji was going to go out like that. I was really starting to like him too right up to the point when he died.

There's really a lot of scenes from the game I loved. The whole trip when the team first meets Aigis was a great time, the old couple SL was heartbreaking, and anything with Riyoji since..you know. I think part of the reason that ending hit me like it did was because I spent time getting Aigis' SL maxxed out.

>>385584527
Same, they're very long games when you explore everything you can, take your time and enjoy yourself.
The Answer actually took me 25 hours because I started rushing things once I got good personas.

>>385584671
Not much, just be sure to not browse the internet until you beat it so you're spoiler free.
You should also get P5, it's more of the same but also better in many ways

>>385583684
>>385583743
Oh, my copy is FES. I was debating on whether I should play the answer or not. All I know is that it's just a new Tartarus dungeon with a new story. How does it exactly ruin the main game experience?

It's an epilogue. The reason people know that the main character dies at the end of P3 is because at the start of The Answer, they tell you.
Everyone's bitter, frustrated, and bothered that he died in Aigis's lap, Aigis reverts back to robot mode because her emotions are too painful and thus Metis is born and underneath the dormitory, a new tartarus opens up because everyone's clinging to the past.

>>385579278
Pussy.

>>385584446
I thought that was the MC saying that on my first playthrough even though it sounded different than what I normally heard from the MC, but it being the last line convinced me. Then my mind blew up when I realized it was Shinji on the 2nd playthrough

>>385584446

Sounds like fan fiction.

My gf ruined the ending for me since she played it through gods know how many times and made sure to spoil EVERY emotional moment by chiding on... but it was still rather touching. Have to thank her for at least introducing me to the series, but she really needs to learn to shut her mouth. THANKFULLY, she hasn't played 4 or 5, but she had watched playthroughs for both, so I instantly tell her to GTFO when I boot them up.

>>385584787
Thanks! I've heard a lot of good things about P4, and I have been hype for P5 since the trailers started coming out when I was in the middle of the game.

>>385585092
Play it you fucking loser. It explained what shadows are before P4 even existed.

>>385584446
wait what the fuck, that was shinjis voice

>>385584934
God, that fucking guy. I spent all of my Sundays checking on him as soon as I could. Another one of my favorites.

>>385585120
No problem, I hope you enjoy it
You should probably get going as to keep yourself unspoiled

>>385584985
Really? Damn. I mean, I kind of wondered if he was slowly dying due to how tired he was and how he fell asleep at the end with Aigis saying that he'd wake up with his friends there. Then I figured I overthought it because I wanted them all to have a happy ending. But now that I know that he actually did, that makes the ending depressing as fuck.

The intro alone made me dive in balls deep. No regrets. Good story.

It may as well be. It tacks needless shit onto an already perfect ending and imho brings it down. The characterization of everyone being depressed is fine, but by god the climax of the story pisses me off so much.

Well, the opening part seems interesting. Maybe I'll try to tackle it before I head to P4. Hopefully I won't get my ass kicked in the process.

>>385587494
Keep Metis on your team, she has every element and will help you get all out attacks (which you should always be aiming for, they make the game a breeze).
Get one party together and stick with it the whole game.

This boss fight is the pinnacle of video games. I say that completely seriously.

The emotions you feel as you fight the avatar of death followed by everyone cheering you on, ending with Shinji's "Let's do this".

Perfection.

I wish I played 3 last so 4 and 5's final bosses weren't so disappointing although I guess 5's was pretty good where you shoot Yaldabaoth in the head.

>>385587869
Where did I say that? I accept that everything will die, but that doesn't mean I want them too. Shinji's death is just something that needs to happen in order to make the story work. Having him survive through one of the most bullshit ways possible ruins what the game was about.

No she's not. She doesn't develop a character until the end of the game and even then it's just the standard Pinocchio character. Her story has been told literally hundreds of times

>>385588496
I played P3FES on ps2, NG+ and barely made it under 24 hours by skipping fucking everything. (I did all social links though, I did this "speedrun" for Orpheus Telos).

>>385590268
>How was it not obvious the MC died.
I didn't really think about it much. The fatigue system meant you saw the "you feel tired..." thing a lot.
Most people didn't know he died until The Answer came out, then it suddenly became "common knowledge". I fucking wonder why.
