Persona 3 FES - Final Boss/"Nyx Avatar" (Promised Day) - Hard Mode [HD]

So in case you haven't heard, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed.

@Hikiki Monogatari You can, just emulate them

[@otakuanalysis4779]

@Hikiki Monogatari you can play fes not p4g tho

[@chuggajr]

So can I talk about some cool symbolism real quick? Your starting persona is Orpheus, who failed at saving his wife from Hades because he didn’t trust that she was following. Your ultimate persona is Messiah, who saves everyone through self sacrifice, showing trust in all those he sacrifices himself for. You fuse Messiah by fusing Orpheus, the failed savior, and Thanatos the God of death, and the symbolic representation of the fate of all living things. You can chose to accept your fate and you will not be able to fuse Messiah, but if you choose to go down this path of self-sacrifice you can use Messiah.

[@lpflowrider8619]

Or you didnt have the patience to grind up to lv 90 XD I pretended that Thanatos was my awakened Persona XD

[@shadedergu9921]

The other interesting thing is that your character doesn’t even use messiah in his final battle. Which is interesting because even the velvet room’s form for him is symbolic of ascension and transcendence. Which he essentially transcends needing to use a persona.

[@unknownusername74]

My name is Messiah, which is cool

[@nitsuaasemed1505]

Another symbolism, I might add, is that Messiah's fusion of Orpheus and Thanatos can be a nod to the biblical quote "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

[@adladeilhsupreme1302]

Just beat Nyx, I used Messiah (and it was an easy battle, no wonder why, I got to lvl. 90).

Creepy awesome form - check 13+ health bars - check epic battle music - check epic battle scene - check epic speech while battle - check Nyx Avatar here is an example of final boss done right

[@machaiping]

Ario Firdaus I was more surprised that the final boss in Persona 3 actively encourage the player throughout the whole battle. I never seen any boss in other video game did that before. All I hear is "You must die!" "I am invincible!" "Resistance is futile" "Die already, vermin!" or something to that effect.

[@deadpool-fi2jg]

+Ario Firdaus Sephiroth?

[@lordskittles3947]

Actually this was a upgrade of izanami and persona four is newer you see nix had a great concept of the arcana no you awaken your real power and just break through izanami never breaking health bar this boss actually had a amazing design and would accept his her bi fate

[@lordskittles3947]

Xemnas. Demigra diadact and final fantasy does it to a freaking T plus secret bosses are harder to perfect. Like sephiroth in kingdom hearts 2.5

[@Mettalus]

+machaiping While Persona 4's final boss was a huge plot twist, having two of the same entity fighting each other at once, all because of one certain someone wandering the path away from death itself, in silence, confusion, anger and denial, Nyx here purposely encourages you to give it your all. It's as if Nyx actually WANTS you to live, to prove his statements wrong, to let you do the physically impossible.

[@monkeyeatter91]

My brothers first time fighting Nyx was hillarious. He had one more hit to defeat her. Aigis and Koromaru were his only partners alive. My brother was low on health and Koromaru had half his health still. All Aigis had to do was heal him and he would have won. But, no Aigis had to be a bitch and heal the dog! Nyx does his final blow killing my brother. My brother sits in silence for a minute then screams "AIGISSSSSS!!"

[@puffpuffpassmako]

There's a little thing everyone may have missed. In one of your classes, Mr Erogawa gives a lecture about all the arcana cards, and what they mean. Nyx is almost word for word saying what Mr Erogawa said, albeit more threatening. A class lecture has now turned into a battle for your dear life. And if you paid attention to Mr Erogawas lecture, he hinted at each arcana's weakness. So if you were a good student, his lecture could help. I LOVE how a lecture you thought was going to be just filler, turns into a huge plot device

[@thejamesnut5158]

I remember when he was teaching everyone and I was really invested into it.

[@cloudstrife9204]

Yeah, Mr Edogawa also talked about Izanagi and Izanami when the P4 cast when to Gekkoukan High School during the field trip .

There's also the possibility of taking extra classes with him during vacation and he explains each of the Arcana's history, their origin and their meaning depending on the way they were drawn.

You know, this boss battle is the definition of a true boss battle. Nyx Avatar will forever haunt me every time I face up against another boss from a different game. The amount of tears and self-fulfilment that rushed into me after beating Nyx was indescribable. Playing on normal in my 1st playthrough of the game, my characters where a bit underlevel (Lev 73) facing Nyx (I figured it wouldnt be AS challenging as I thought) , and well, it wasnt until Nyx destoys you when it has just a few 100s left in its final arcane form, that you may actually cry. My 1st time facing Nyx, I was an hour and a half in, thinking I'm going to beat Persona 3! , and bam, Nyx destroys me. An hour and a half wasted... Just to do it again. And i did break my controller. Twice. The self-fulfillment of beating Nyx (About 5 more rematches later) really felt like facing death head on, at least in gaming terms. You could bet I was crying on my knees after the battle.

Instead, its all a matter of "cinematic" cutscenes, gameplay, and voice acting that AAA devs pump out, thinking they'll be the next Steven Spielberg. Persona 3 is amazing because it embraces itself as a video game, instead of going against it to try to mimic another medium like movies. It allow us to pursue social links not just as a gameplay mechanic to level up Personas, but as means to give the player an incentive to fight for this world. It didn't take away all of that from us, and just throw in some two minute cutscenes with a few NPCs as an excuse to fight to the end in this game. It gave us a choice to find value in living life and by doing so, we were willing to go up against Nyx even if it meant death. Fighting Nyx was epic as well, because there was so much at stake at that point and providing you didn't grind yourself to death; it was an overall challenging fight that put our skills to test. There's no amount of flashy cutscenes can ever surpass a boss fight like this, because we as players, conquered what was thought to be the impossible. Its those kind of moments that modern games lack nowadays, because they're so focused on telling over showing their story, that they fall flat on their face because of it (i.e. Metroid Other M).

Julie Way What can I say? The sixth generation of gaming was arguably the best time for gaming. Kids these days don't know what they missed out on lol.

[@julie13way]

majema007 u know, I'm 31 (and brazilian, btw, so I'm sorry for the awful english) and stoped playing videogames when was about 15 (or less, don't remember), the last one was a megadrive. Without a motive, just living a diferent moment. And after all these years, decided to get a PS2, last year (quite modern, ahn?). Started with Okami, then God of War and then Devil May Cry. Then Persona. And what an experience! Just finished The Journey, started The Answer today haha and I'm already missing the chars, really sad.

[@majema007]

Julie Way You should also consider checking out Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne for the PS2, it's a fantastic game.

[@julie13way]

majema007 I was about to start Persona 4, don't even knew about this Nocturne. I mean, saw something about on web, but tought it was just and manga/anime spiff of or something. Well, thanks a lot (A LOT) for the tip I'll look for it. You're a lovely persona, oh, I mean, PERSON. ^_^

Idk why some of them were surprised that Ryoji was Nyx Avatar, didn't he tell them that he is the usher?

I think it is because he became the Nyx Avatar, being the Appriser does not mean you fuse with Nyx.

Years later I was finally able to beat Nyx, my younger self would be so proud, it only took about 20+ attempts with my favorite one being reaching Night Queen stage, Nyx is literally a hit or two away from death but he manages to charm Aigis, who then proceeded to heal Nyx back up to full health…the willpower it took not to break something…

This is the perfect example of what a final boss should be

[@vedaryan334]

I think they should have implemented dynamic levelling to this boss. So that he stays a few levels ahead of you no matter how much you grind , so as to keep the image of him being some impossible unbeatable boss. Basically this fight should have been something along the lines of a dark souls boss, mainly how powerful Nyx is supposed to be , someone who is almost impossible to defeat and yet you overcome those odds

Possibly the greatest final boss fight of all time. I love the idea of fighting death incarnate, knowing you can't win, but trying to anyway. And the ending after the fight... just brilliant. Probably one the best endings of any video game, ever. Sidenote: That was the same party I used, and I also named my character "David" after myself!

[@ceoofcomedy3009]

Most player's teams are almost completely dead by the end of the fight, and that's with 13 phases, he'd have to be greatly nerfed to actually be beatable with the 25(?) phases having every arcana would give him.
