Depressing....

Iam in the month of december in the game, which is the 2nd to last month I belive. The game has become pretty depressing. I have played a good 85 hours of the game so far. I have grown very attatched to these characters and I feel that if they're in a sour mood, so am I, and they were happy, so was I. I have never played a game that made me this kind of connection with the characters before. Dont get me wrong, Ive been connected with characters before in other games, but persona was diffrent... I feel as if, when the game ends, Iam going to be saying good bye to close relatives of mine......

re: Depressing....

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but chuckle at your last line.

I understand how you feel though. I too feel that way sometimes. Almost cried at the Shinji/Ken scene.

I guess the reason that we feel it sometimes is because the characters are going through their lives like we do, as students, in a REAL (in a sense) world - not some make-believe fantasy world.

re: Depressing....

I agree completely. This game has its flaws, but it is one of the best example of efficient writing and directing for emotional connection in video games PERIOD.

re: Depressing....

Yup, I agree 2... EVEN because t'has happened with me since oldy Breath of Fire IV from psone series (I luv BoF), when [spoiler=]Elina dies and we get the sensation of all that jouney we had were for nothing but cries[/spoiler]. Persona 3 is one of these for sure, I got sad in October 4th 2, but couldn't cry because I didn't get much affection for Shinji...

I remember that, she was turned into this disgusting creature at the end of the game and Cray was forced to kill her, yeah that was gut-renching. Capcom had alot of balls to pull off an Akira-esque scene like that.

re: Depressing....

on october 4th i actually started to cry a bit because of that scene, and i am the type person who cries very rarely. i guess i can feel sympathy to everyone even if they are just video game characters.

re: Depressing....

the game's cast of characters is very easy to get attached to, becuase they are in a similar world with those who mostly play the game (high school students).

re: Depressing....

A spoiler warning would've been nice kvnkrbr99, as you just spoiled the ending for me.

re: Depressing....

Please ensure that you put all spoilers within [spoiler][/spoiler] tags to ensure that nothing is ruined for other players, like you have done so already.
