Indeed. I went with Bravely Default in the end as I loved what I played when I first got it... but then I got distracted by other games or something. I really don't have the time to devote to RPGs anymore. It's a shame that's my favorite genre. You should let me know how you feel about Four Heroes of Light. I really want to play that game someday, but it's hard to come by.

Have you played Radiant Historia and Bravely Default? I just beat Innocent Sin, and I'm trying to decide which of these I should go to next. i think I want to take a break before I move to Eternal Punishment.

That's it! I can see it! I really wasn't sure if it was due to the writing of his social link, or if it was just me having grown up since I played P3 for the first time, but yes. Junpei is the most human character of the bunch, although I still think the two PS2 persona games have probably one of the best developed casts in gaming, if inly because of all the time you get to spend with the characters. So much so that you really get to know them deeply, as if they were real people.

I'm really glad I played this game twice, and I might do it again in the future. I don't think I was mature enough to appreciate the story the first time around, but the second time it really touched me and really felt that it influenced my fear of death in a very personal way. Back when I played it in high school, my best friend also played it and told me that even the good ending is actually bad and that the game is simply really deptessing. Having played it again as an adult, I see it as a much more cathartic experience, a tale that, despite death being an enormous part of it, is incredibly uplifting. I don't think any game ever has ever tackled the theme of accepting death quite so expertly, and even if there are elements of P4 that make it more enjoyable for me, I think P3 is now closer to my heart.

Bah, I just spoiled you a chunk of my list >< I never got why Yukari is such a scrappy according to the fanbase, by the way. I mean, I get that Ania, my wife, hated her, but she told me that it was because she just would not stay alive during battle to the point of being completely useless

I also recently recommended P3P to my mom, who is slowly getting into games nowadays. She has a lot of issues concerning life and death and whatnot. I hope it can help her.

It's an interesting experience. I mean, after playing both P3P and P4G, I find myself having vastly different opinions about the Magician party member than at first. Like, first time around I didn't really like Junpei due to how easily be for jealous and I loved Yosuke due to how friendly he was. And then in P3P (I played as a girl, that might have done it) I found Junpei to be much more complex, and really genuinely so sweet deep down, that he's now probably my favorite character in that game, while Yosuke now comes off as incredibly immature and very often kind of a sick with his homophobic and sexist remarks.

It's not going to be a fantasy or anything. It'll be a drama about a young couple dealing with the news that he has a degenerative disease that will kill him in a few years. I'm leaning towards ALS right now

Also sharky got Valkyria Chronicles today :P

I'm going to write a novella

Get this.

I managed to max out all the party member social links before the whole Adachi thing! Soooo satsfying! I also heard that in Golden you get to play through all that time from December to March that got unceremoniously skipped in the original, so I may actually have the time to max many more of them!

By the way, updated my list. Hoping to pick up the pace now.

Your request is done as well.

I'm really enjoying it. I like the story and it's just fun to play in general. I also like that I can just set things to auto in the random battles so I can just do other things when I'm getting tired of focusing on the high encounter rate stuff. I also like the really weird, amusing instances like Nazis and Hitler just popping up. I just finished the dungeon where you get Jun in your party, but I sadly have to stop for the night since I have to work tomorrow, blegh.
