Persona 3 Reload Title Screen NewGame+

[@cassianpicaro]

I can’t not cry harder seeing this title screen after beating the game. I was already crying buckets but after seeing the title screen change.. i just can’t. It’s a beautiful day outside, and he is not there anymore to see it. Everyone had left, the classroom is now empty, the adventure had reached its end..

[@Dragonero1700]

The chair slightly pulled from the right it s such a beautiful yet sad thing to see. In Japan they use to celebrate somebody that passed away like that. It s beautiful because his things are there and they are still waiting for him to come back. Even if they know that he will never come back, so sad.

[@KaiserWright]

i cried like a bitch when i saw his evoker and armband on the table

[@BobbyDoesExist]

I didn’t cry at Makoto’s death for two reasons 1. My dumbass just thought he was sleepy from his big fight with death, and didn’t get the metaphor 2. When I did figure out he died, I was strangely content. While it is sad that he died, and that everyone is left to themselves without him, that’s the message of Persona 3. He lived life to the fullest, with amazing friends, never holding to a single regret until the very end of his life. And that’s why he welcomes death with a smile. The message of persona 3 isn’t that you should fight against death when it comes, it’s that we must live our lives to the fullest way we can, because they will end one day. That’s why the ending changed my perspective on life, like Persona 5 did when I played through that last year. Just because life ends, doesn’t mean that death should be feared. Living a happy, fulfilling life, that’s what matters. That’s what keeps us alive, and makes death easier to accept.

[@TristaTridsatTri0]

Finally I saw the person who also thought he was sleeping, lol. But to be honest, Makota is not such an interesting character that you sympathize with him too much. But I still feel a little sorry for him and his team(

[@superdoodzz]

@@TristaTridsatTri0Makoto is the true self insert mc as in the original you had much more things that made him feel more personal to you and his core personality of being a introverted guy that cares for his friends is one to easily relate to (for the majority of players) and one thats simple enough to have stuff added on mentally. you don’t need to cry but i feel having you feel more personally connected to the mc would make it hurt more to see him go

[@LegendeN936]

Makoto's evoker and armband on the table and everyone gone... man that hurts.

[@lnazuma]

not only that but it is also on yukari’s desk the answer was always there 😢

[@blokkybrikz9651]

Ever since i beat this game ive been contemplating what i actually feel when i see this screen. Like it makes me cry every time i see it but i can't understand what its actually making me feel. I think it feels like the game wants you to move on as well, SEES is disbanded, your time with these characters is over, and you have to just go fourth with the memories left behind.

[@kenjeb]

Title screen stuck in my head and make me reflect on my life choices… feel so melancholic

[@Epictrailers921]

Persona 5 royal made me cry, Persona 3 reload didn’t exactly do that, but, instead, has certainly encouraged melancholic reflection. Never has a game made me reflect on life more so than this one, despite not crying to it.

It's kinda hard to describe exactly how this title screen made me feel after finishing the game. It's this really weird, wistful feeling knowing MC accomplished his goal of protecting everyone and following through on his promise so they could see this peaceful spring day. It's very bittersweet, but that's what makes the message and general theme of this game come across to the player so perfectly. Hopeful and sentimental are probably the words to use to describe this feeling.

There are very few games that have left me feeling like this.....Persona 3/Persona 3 Reload transcend what it means to be a video game and become a piece of art.

I have mixed feelings. He beautifully emphasized the game’s main idea of finding a purpose to life even in the face of death, but I still wish he had lived long enough to enjoy the world he had offered his life to save, or grow old with the friends who had given him a purpose to his life. If he had to die within a year, he went out the best way possible, but after everything he did, it’s an injustice that he wasn’t able to enjoy any of it.

He did survive until graduation day so he enjoyed peace in the world he saved but he kept getting weaker and weaker so the peace quickly ended.

P5R made me feel empty and now so did P3R. I guess it's because they are big games, you connect to the MC personally by seeing his daily activities and just bond with everyone. Spending so much time and effort into a story only for it to end. I just finished this game today, a few hours ago actually and I might take a break and do NG+, then play The Answer. I never played P4G though so if the supposed remake for P4 is real then I guess that can help with the feeling of emptiness, but even then after I finish it aswell the feeling will come back.
