People nowadays really misuse the word "tragedy"

what is tragic, imo, is that in spite of being fans of this game, people still can't really apply its message to themselves. They can't let go and accept death for what it is and want to "save" the characters from it, despite the fact that they'll die sooner or later anyway. And the fact that, you know, they're fictional, so it should be easier to accept and you should use this opportunity to learn how to deal with the emotional impact of people dying around you? Because you know, you can't just hit certain flags and "save" people from ever dying irl.

That's the reason I like P3 so much more in this case - it's just so much more than blind, feel-good escapism(even though it offers that as well).
