I'm really curious who you mean XD If you want you can tell me and I promise not to react to it But yeah, I'm thinking maybe P3 is one of those games that need a second playthrough to let the story really sink in? Idk, after playing both games once, I was left liking P4 much better, but then, as I replayed P3, I noticed how subtle and poignant it actually is in the way it deals with death. I mean, in many ways it's the opposite of FFX which is self-important and in your face about its "Death is bad" message. In P3, death is not something that you just need to stop because bad people make it happen. It exists. It's a part of life and we have no choice but to accept it. The fear of death may be crippling, but in the end, it's what we get, and there's comfort in it, knowing you got to love your life and change the life of others through it, especially if you sacrifice it for others. Maybe it really does have to do with the psychology thing. I think when I played P4 it might've been the case that I was just going through a phase of disguising my true self, and maybe now that I feel more comfortable in my skin, I just take it for granted. And on the P3 side of things, my therapist told me yesterday that I have this fixation on things ending, and it's true. He claims that I came to therapy with the express purpose of ending it, and now I'm thinking about the end of my studies and I am focusing so hard on how I end these things. Even the whole Borys thing was mostly me feeling bad about how I went about that end. And every end is a new beginning - which is exactly what the death arcana symbolizes. I think I now understand much more why I have such a personal connection with P3 Hoo, so anyway, is the gameplay serving you better? Shorter dungeons good? You like the new shuffle time? It's actually again something they changed in Golden. In vanilla P4 it was incredibly boring because you only got to choose from Persona cards and blanks.
I am liking the story in P4 more honestly. I'm not sure why. Eveyone seems to adore P3's story, and while it was fine, it certainly didn't grab me. Maybe the gameplay just wore me out, or maybe I don't have the same issues with death that a lot of people do so it didn't impact me as much. On the other hand, I do struggle with myself a lot and my feelings about myself, so that could be why P4 hits home a bit more. I also think I know who the killer is which makes it creepier because then it's like "OH GOSH HE'S IN MY HOUSE" and there's nothing you can do and that's creepier to me. I could be wrong but I'm relying on my too many seasons of Criminal Minds watching and it seems to point to one obvious suspect
Yah, I know That was a purposeful exaggeration. It's just funny how everyone expected you to like the bright and cheery one better, and so far it looks like you like the broody one better While I prefer P3 overall for its story and characters, I still adore those elements in P4 and I really like that idea of actually, physically facing those dark things inside you that you don't really wanna admit. And the voice acting is amazing in both games.
haha no, I'm not going to end up hating it. I don't think. I think basically it's going to boil down to about even with some things I like better in P3 and some better in P4
It's gonna be super ironic if, after everyone saying "oh, Pumpkin's gonna like P4 better for sure" you end up hating it XD
Sounds fun
Yeah, the camera IS pretty stupid XD I didn't know you liked Elizabeth quite so much. Margaret grew on me later though. Also, Teddie has a new voice in Golden too. And I can do a flawless impression of it
I go with him, it's twice a month, but I'm usually pretty bored when he's going around talking about cars so I just play video games! Honestly not really, which may be why it hasn't grabbed me that much so far. I don't dislike it at all, but it hasn't been like "oh, can't wait to play again!!!" you know? I also miss Elizabeth and I don't like Marie at all and the camera is weird and awkward to work with. Like no game, I don't actually want to stare at this wall
As in... Sharky's going? Sorry, I'm not in the know about many things XD Do any of the characters interest you so far?
Oh dear Fynn, you can do it! I believe in you! It's going alright. Rescued black haired girl. Will probably play tonight as it is car club meeting night~
