"You don't need to save the world to find meaning in life" i don't know why but that quote hits me like a sword through the chest

[@CereDulce37]

*comatoseCristatus* I know this is a year but seeing this made me cry a little....

[@thebathtub9680]

*comatoseCristatus* because it's a feel good truism made out of something you were out to do for the whole game. Also, you cannot "save the world" unless it has a threat to be saved from so it would be absurd to claim that saving the world is the only meaningful thing because then you'd be stuck waiting for a threat to give you something meaningful to do (duh!) Also, from my standpoint you either promote the value of saving the world as something more meaningful than every other option (because without a world for you to live you cannot even exist in order to find meaning) or you make all meaningful things equal in which case you pray for someone to pick the task of saving the world just because it's meaningful for them and not because it has the highest possible priority.

[@LightKing1237]

[@ThatOneLegendEmerald]

[@buslgal3385]

The intro keeps saying “remember you are mortal” “remember you will die” it doesn’t matter if you know or not and the game knows that. Making it very literally making persona 3 more about the journey than the destination

[@averysketchygamer3241]

I think it's tragic that Minato's last words were either "Don't Cry" or "It'll be Alright" (Depending on the player). Even in dying, he's more worried about his friends' wellbeing than his own.

[@anibator3401]

I think this game has a really clever ending. If you notice, everything about this ending is romanticized and over the top. The cherry blossoms, Aigis having only human parts, Mitsuru's cheesy slow motion jump, and the overall cheerful nature of the final song are examples of this. I think one of the reasons they did this was to replicate the feeling of euphoria which is mentioned earlier in the game. Like Mr. Edogawa says when talking about near death experiences, euphoria is to "experience complete and total happiness." To me, this really added to the scene's emotion and was a brilliant way to portray your character's death by making you relate in this way.

[@FreshTillDeath56]

I think it also works based on what Aigis says. Since you understand the inevitability of death / after you defeat NYX, notice that she says a lot of simple things like, "The weather is lovely outside," and "This is my first time experiencing spring!" It's just like you say: it leaves you with that feeling of, "Huh, what a lovely day to die."

[@shadowhunter-mi5su]

FreshTillDeath56 "guess I'll die".

[@Evil_Beauty]

FreshTillDeath56 She's saying all of that b.c she knows the mc is about to die. It's kinda like a last moment farewell before officially parting with the mc. Death is a part of life after all, Aigis just wants to remind mc how beautiful life is in his final moments before dying.

Sometimes I come back here just to get my heart broken again. The way Aigis talks not knowing that Minato is dying breaks me every time.

[@MMario90]

I know your comment was four months ago but I have a theory about this. Aigis has a dual nature: her human nature and robotic nature. When she finally figures out her human nature in the final parts of the game, she still is able to perform all of her robotic functions, one of which I would assume is reading life signs in others. So in this scene, Aigis was a hit confused why she was crying when she was supposed to be happy. My theory is that since she focuses way more in her human nature, she tries to ignore her robotic nature in this scene because Minato's life vitals are going away. Her change in breathing in her last few lines still sounds like she's in sorrow. Thus she knows in her robotic nature that he is dying, but her human nature doesn't see that.

Actually, that breathing animation appears all throughout the game from the very start of the game to the end. It's an idle animation. I noticed it since he breathes with his shoulders instead of his diaphragm which is a bad breathing technique. It's just a little animation that gives him some charm.

[@francescoa.7408]

I just finished it today... I cant describe how beautiful and sad it is at the same time... Just imagine yourself putting over a 100+ hours of time into this game and then get an Ending like this one. I was new to the persona series and only discovered it through the kubz scouts youtube channels, but more important I already did play p5 and I still have to say that p3 is not only the best persona game ever made, but probably also the best game in general i've ever seen in my life. I hope that they at least consider making a remaster of this fantastic masterpiece. I never cried before at any ending of any game, but at the moment Aigis tells the MC that her reason to live is to protect him, unknowing of the fact that he is peacefully passing away at exactly this moment, I completely lost it.

[@shanedog679]

Bro that's exactly me. I came to persona 3 unexpectedly walking into a god damn masterpiece of a game. This game made me cry real tears. I can't play the answer because I start to tear up every time i see Aigis or anyone of the SEES team. This is by far the best persona game ever, and to me personally the best game of all time. Period.

[@WolverBean]

My favourite Persona is 4 but 3 and 5 are master pieces. What a series.

[@rose_cor3080]

I beat the game this past summer, and it was also the first year where I wasn't crying myself to sleep every other night. I had gotten through therapy for some depression, but I didn't have much direction. I jokingly said that I wanted to die because I had nothing left to do in the world, that all of my business was up. I was joking around to myself that night (I had 4 99's on my messiah, spell master/armageddon on helel) that the final boss would be too difficult. I knew that the protag dies at the end, but the way that the ending was structured, I thought that he might live. When the game said that i felt sleepy, I realized. When Aigis said "Soon, all your friends will be here by your side," that's when I cried my first real tears of 2019. Floodgates, sobbing, uncontrollable sadness. I got through it, had to take a walk and calm myself down. All I can say about what this game made me do is that it made me consider my own death in a meaningful way, just like what you said about the 100+ hours (it's hard to not identify with a character that you've played for even a 20 hour game). Even if I don't think I want anything from this world, other people care for my existence. Them caring about me is already reason enough to live. Now, thanks to a pervy, 15 year old video game, I actively don't want to die. It's good to see that other people appreciate this game like I did.

"You've been in a coma for quite some time. Yes, yes, I know, you want to know how long.... I'm afraid it's been....Nine years..."

[@Rettomus]

I don't think he's in a coma, since The Answer revealed he was pronounced dead at the hospital a day or two after admission. The only part of him that's still technically alive is his soul, and even that's somewhere deep inside the Collective Unconscious, not in the real world.

This ending honestly shaped my perception in a lot of ways. Mostly, that endings don't have to be happy to be good, that there's beauty in tragedy. I love Persona 3, and the ending is a large reason why.

it is March 5th, let us gather once again in Memory of this special boy that showed us how precious Life can be.

[@Akirapoet]

People who didn't like this ending didn't actually get the game at all.

[@alyssarasmussen1723]

+Jeipi59 What you mean by that?

[@Akirapoet]

Alyssa Rasmussen Normally, people who didn't like this ending was mostly because the mc died. From the very beggining, the game reminds you that you are going to die (Memento mori). The Persona series take into account Karl Jung's psychology theories regarding death. During the story the are too many clues which tell to you about how ephemeral life can be, that includes this final scene. The cherry tree's leaves falling means youth, a short life coming to its death. It's heavily deep and meaningful You can not defeat death, it's unnatural... accepting that fact is one of those things that makes us human beings. I really love this game but hate the fanboys/girls who are pissed irrationally with the mc's death. They thought this was going to be like DBZ or something just cause it's appealing characters design.

[@alyssarasmussen1723]

***** Alright. So you're saying people don't get this ending because they don't see the natural beauty of how this ending truly is! He sacrificed himself because to save the world and people don't see that at all. That was the only way to close the seal because HE was the seal. Right?

[@Fralite]

Jeipi59 i understand a little but the words are too deep

[@YuzaruKisekiKokoro]

i loved the ending, but i still wish and hope they'll make a game where we can save the protagonist he deserves a happy ending in the alive sense in my book

[@GeminiOxStar0603]

I was freaking out at first when nobody seemed to remember one another.

[@TriPlaydoh]

Talking to all the social links in those last two days and seeing how their lives have changed and commenting on how sick you look really makes the ending hit so much harder. Your last few days in the world and you're reminded of all the good you've done for everyone.

You really have to put a lot of personality behind the voice for comic reliefs. Look at Max Mittleman and his voice acting for Ryuji in Persona 5. Top notch.

[@charlie1234500]

A lot of the English VA's delivery were surprisingly good. Especially, for a PS2 game that would have been a very niche title at the time of its release. A little bit were kind of flat like Shinji but other than him the main cast was perfect. I didn't know Vic Mignogna voiced Junpei. His performance really stood out to me the most out of any character. Absolutely brilliant voice actor. Just with that compliment alone, you know exactly where's my stance is with Vic. Anyone else involved in that crap can rot in hell. I truly fucking mean it.

My MC broke his promise to yukari about spending time in the mountains together. Just finished the game and didn’t realize he died at first. Really good. Wasn’t expecting such a good game that early on. Was pleasantly surprised.

[@wolfiethefurrygamer1908]

I finished Persona 3 Portable on my switch last night and this fucking broke me, I felt so heartbroken that it made me question "Was this really the good ending" but when I think about it, it is, the bad ending, everyone dies but this ending, only one person dies and thats Makoto and he dies a hero's death He truely deserves the arcana of The Universe I proceeded to watch The Answer and it broke me more because the message about the base game is about death and to live your life to the fullest while The Answer is all about letting go and accepting what happened, that you cant change the past or bring someone back, you just have to accept that their gone but you can carry their memories and use that opportunity they gave you to bring hope to others Persona is a series I got into about two years ago and each game tought me a lesson Persona 5 Royal tought me that its okay to be an outcast, just be yourself Persona 4 tought me that fate isnt always pre-determind and that I can do whatever I can if I put my mind to it But Persona 3 tought me the biggest lession of all To live life to the fullest with all of my loved ones I have cuz tomorrow, They might not be there or I could die Persona is a game that even through im still new to it, holds a special place in my heart in the experiences I had, the amazing story and music but also the lessons it tought me along the way To anyone who hasn't played this series First: Why are you here, you are spoiling an amazing game Second: give this series a go, even if you dont play JRPGs, this series is worth it and you won't regret it, I promise

[@wolfiethefurrygamer1908]

Since I finished Persona 3 after the anniversary of his death, I'm gonna pay them now You will never be forgotten No matter how many times god's tries to destroy the world, we got you looking down and helping the new Wild Card along You died too young, Rest in peace Makoto/Minito, you are missed

[@chingchongwalawalabingbong3035]

cuz u played it in 100 hrs with fun then after that he dies

[@nyodesu]

I just finished this version of the game tonight. I got spoiled YEARS ago and yet it STILL hit for me…just the tone of it. Aigis being so human and talking about how much Makoto helped her find her purpose, everyone coming to the roof after getting their memory just to see Makoto was already gone…it hurts. If they got their memories back sooner, they may have been able to see him as he passed. But the game said it so many times and even blatantly foreshadowed it with saving “He just so happened to find his purpose before of all you.” It makes in context and with this ending being so in-tune with the game’s makes me love it, even if it’s super depressing. That and well…The Answer and Elizabeth’s P4AU (sort of) but not definitively) implies that he may not TRULY gone, at least not in spirit.

[@tia.p]

You know the game good when you got spoiled and still cried hard at the ending

[@jackabsolute5525]

Ah 14 years ago. Man, how time flies. I was in school then, now I have a wife and a kid. This game taught me to open up more and be more sociable. Now it still teaches me a lesson about caring for someone.

[@whodatninja439]

and to live every day to its fullest

[@SparkBag]

Nothing beats Karen Strassman's performance man, the Aigis scene is just so beautiful... Reload doesn't even come close for me. Nothing can possibly beat this, the choking up of voice, the way she forgoes the robotic stiffness slowly as the scene progresses... It hurts in all the right ways.

14:55 didn’t know this was the p3r’s title screen music. Very cool

[@alex-zj6ef]

Ive never played the game, i watched the movie. In the movie its much clearer that minato dies. It has much more emotion because the team looks out the window when mitsuru says her father died. They gasp a sprint to the roof. Aigis says her lines then the door bursts open. You here "Makoto!" feintly as makotos vision is fading. He closes his eyes and it ends. That had me in tears. Such a great and powerful story.

[@player2-lightwater914]

Before the movies came out, it was confirmed in The Answer that Makoto Yuki died.

[@NFLuke]

Yesterday I finished Persona 3 and I must say that it left me worse than it already was. It's very cute, beautiful and melancholic the way the story ends and honestly, I ended up crying, something that never happened before with a game.

[@VermilionRen]

This version of the ending hits much harder for me. Don't know why, but Reload's presentation of the ending didn't make me cry while this one nevers fails in doing that...

[@orpheus_52]

Same, just finished it expecting to cry but wasn't much of a fan how the scenes were not animated

[@PinClockFuntime]

It's the CG focus and giving all the friends running bits. FES just hits harder because it's simpler and more focused on what's going on. Also it being a normal scene lets you take it in at your own pace.

[@ronantheronin3521]

I think the words were too overexaggerated. The simplicity of the original made the meaning more poiniant. The words "You don't need to save the world to find meaning in life, sometimes all you need is something simple, like someone to take care of" leaves such a huge impact on a person's soul. It is these words that are what keeps me alive no matter the pain. I want to be there for others and I truly learned to appreciate the bonds I hold.

[@PinClockFuntime]

[@ossomysteriossobutyoucanca9472]

Even if it’s just for three lines, when Aigis speaks fully human, that never fails to make me tear up

[@ThirdXavier]

This ending is really existential. I played p5 and p4 before i played this and I always felt bittersweet when the game ended knowing my time with those characters was over. In this one the protagonist's time is over with yours, the game ends right as he dies. You dont get to see the aftermath or how his friends reacted, you're just gone with him.

[@stairface_ed6859]

It’s the fact that you get to choose that you die, you get to choose to close your eyes, that’s what always got me in the end, in the end how one dies is decided by the self. But once I realized that the MC doesn’t fear death I stopped tearing up. And I accepted that, death was the end. Phenomenal game
