Unlike the others, Nanako's tv world is a child like view of heaven or what she thinks heaven looks like so that she could see her mother again. She's so pure that she doesn't even have her own shadow.

[@MaskOfLimbo]

I would find interesting if she had a Shadow and it tries to guilt her by saying she hates her father and that she just wants to die to see her mom in Heaven. But the whole thing simply results in a conversation that, with her big bro by her side giving support, she manages to accept her Shadow and get a Persona.

[@Luchux177]

@@MaskOfLimbo kids can't make shadows, since they are too young and innocent. Besides, shadows are repressed emotions, the side of us we don't want people to see. It's pretty unlikely that a 6 year old would be hiding too much of her personality.

[@LunarSovereign]

The events leading to Nanako's capture are so intense. Dojima finding out your involvement, keeping Yu away from the fight, Naoto running through the rain to try and prevent her kidnapping with no means of telling Yu, Dojima realizing he's the reason she became vulnerable and was taken and nearly dying trying to save her...it's all top-tier stuff.

[@YORCHspartan117]

@Low Quality Ice one thing i thought about is that perhaps namatame might have attempted to persuade yu into hiding nanako if he was there, since namatame knew that yu had some sort of involvement with the previous people he "saved", if yu refused, or attempted to explain the true nature of the tv world however... yeah, i think namatame might have attempted to take nanako by force (based on his dairy and how his shadow talked, he was not really in a good state of mind, so he might have taken drastic measures). That or he might have drugged off yu in the same way he did to the previous victims, and then take nanako away

[@chandra_creator]

I know your comment is from 2 years ago but I'm experiencing the exact same thing. I missed hearing that too + the only reason I planted vegetables (besides crack wheat since it's a useful back-up for chest keys) was because "hell yes nanako gets to do something fun" (bonus points if dojima was there too "great vegetables" they sure as fuck are). The music changing at home too.

@@chandra_creator Did you play P5R? I loved it as much as this one.

[@Orion_The_Merchant]

This is by far the part in the game where everything begins to hit the fan. And the feelings you get when Nanako is kidnapped... It's just totally unexpected. You do your best to protect and save people, just to have your closest loved ones get caught in the cross-fire. Persona 3 may be the more depressing of the entries, but it really bothers me when people say Persona 4 is all happy go lucky. If you think about it, it's just as depressing, if not worse at some points.

[@Weenworm]

Plus Persona 4 deals a lot more with internalized hatred of yourself and such.

[@yurigagarin9765]

+Foxhound 248 "Totally unexpected"? You have JUST received a warning letter telling you that your family would be targeted, what is unexpected is that Dojima actually doesn't notice that and doesn't put her under surveillance too. *Good ending SPOILER* Yes, the one who kidnaps her doesn't have anything to do with the one who sends the warnings, but you can hardly imagine that unless someone spoiled it for you before.

SPOILERS I hate this song so much but not in a bad way. All the events leading up to and beyond this point. 1)Dojima who you always felt was on your side throwing you in jail for the night, albeit for a valid reason. 2.The realization that Nanako, the character who became a really close little sister to you and a really lovable character throughout your journey, was going to be the next victim. 3. Suddenly Dojima gets in a car crash and now he's in the hospital. 4. The panic as everybody tries to save Nanako before realizing that she already got thrown in. 5. Knowing that every dungeon up to this points entrance was called "Castle Courtyard, Sauna Entrance" generic names based around what the dungeon was, and then seeing the name of Nanako's "The Pearly Gates" and seeing that it's based on Nanakos child like view on what heaven would be like. 6. The fit of panic to save her before things are too late, this is the only dungeon that I rushed to finish as opposed to taking my time and spreading it out for a few days. 7. The boss of the dungeon literally having an attack that forces your team and friends to fight one another. 8. Nanako being rushed to the hospital and seeing her all hooked up to the machines. 9. The slight lull and feelings of joy before Nanako suddenly dies. And everybody breaking down after she does die. 10. The mad rush to avenge her and kill Nametame and the large fight that basically splits your friends into two groups, along with your panic to talk them out of killing him. 11. Teddie's disappearence. 12. The realization that Adachi is the true culprit and that the goofball who was a loveable character throughout the entire game is suddenly a Masochistic Sociopath. Basically this whole section is a huge sucker punch to the gut. Whenever you think things calmed down, you basically get bitch slapped and you don't even know who you can trust anymore. And that's the beauty of it, this song is amazing and it fits the situation perfectly, better than any other song in the series in my mind, and Battle for Everyones Souls was an incredibly fitting and good final battle theme. But this song is even more fitting, and that's why I hate and love it. It hits you hard, you're in this hectic section of the game that just throws constant curveballs at you, and all you hear as your rushing to save your little sister, is this.

[@mas8705]

The joys of what music can do and what memories and feelings it can bring out. The song is great, but when you take into account of everything that happens before, during and after the part where this happens, it can really bring back bad memories of what happened during that time. An audio oxymoron? A peaceful and cheerful song reminds people of all the bad things that happened towards the end of the game? Still, what you wrote is true from start to finish, and it was a delight to read (even though it is mostly a downer and sad, especially the part when Nanako dies and it feels like you ultimately failed for those few minutes when it happens.)

This is what made the incentive behind this game feel better than persona 5. Persona 5 is very much "you have to take out the baddie because if you dont then bad things will happen to YOU" Whereas persona 4: "you have to save this person, they will fucking die. We cant make this any clearer. their life is in your hands." The fact the last kidnapping is nanako really kicked things up a notch. Not only is it someone purely innocent, but it's also your little sister. The girl youve been keeping company all this time. I'm not rescuing her because the game is telling me to, I WANT to do this. That's one thing that Persona 4 does better than all the other games.

[@mechcannon]

P5 tends to go for more outrage. Since you are the one actively pushing against society, the reason you want to take down Kamoshida and Shido is because fuck you, you are utter bastards. Their stake is based on(mostly) how everyone was wronged.

[@prodigous21]

P4 does an amazing job giving you a core cast that is well developed, to the point where you feel genuine attachment to them. It also helps that alot of the events in P4 are extremely personal, making characters show their deepest secrets which in turn opens up character development by a huge margin. P5 is a very good game and I cherish it just as much as all the persona games ive played but it isnt as personal which makes the game have to work harder to reach that same type of attachment. P4 will always have a special place in my heart because of how many emotions it had me feeling especially Nanako's arc.

[@fissurehezzer1897]

@@prodigous21 kinda agree on this one, p5 and p3 was a great game, but P4? it has a special bond with me. They felt so real, like your own friends and family. You know when "never more" came in, i felt so empty....

[@RuiRuichi]

If you look at the bigger picture it's the same in P5 the stakes are just as high , it just started slow but not taking out Kamoshida could have led more students to suicide, Kaneshiro killing people with debt, Okumura working his employees to death. Lastly if you didn't take out Shido he would have killed countless people opposing him including you and the Phantom Thieves. I think I did Shido's place in just a day lol.

[@blooper5li]

Full confession: up to Nanako's kidnapping, I was mixed on P4G. I bought it as soon as it went on Steam, but didn't get to actually playing it until a few weeks ago. Having played it after P5, I can say that P4G and, by extension, P4, have been objectively obliterated by the passage of time in a lot of ways. I loved the story, but the actual dungeoning reminded me of why I tend to stay away from RPGs. By the time Naoto's dungeon hit, I was bored to the point that I contemplated putting the game down. Thank God I didn't. Nanako's kidnapping and the subsequent mad-dash to rescue her might be my new favorite gaming moment. What makes this dungeon work so well is down to Persona's social link system. If you played the game like I did, you maxed out Nanako's social link as soon as you were able. She's a good character for a host of reasons, but she matters to the player because we spend so much time with her. She confides her feelings in us and relies on us to find answers to important questions in her own life. We're more than just a special bond to her, we're her big bro. When she gets kidnapped by Namatame and her father is injured attempting to rescue her, it falls on the player to save her. At this point, we also assume that Namatame may be the killer, heightening the stakes even more. Like a lot of other people, I beat this dungeon the first day it was available. Stopping Namatame is no longer about the case: it's personal. It's about saving your little sister. For everything I didn't like about P4G, saving Nanako made every moment I spent with the game worth it a hundred times over.

I haven't even played Persona 4, but this song is almost bringing me to tears. *dArNIt ShOjI meGuRo wHy ArE YoU sO aMaZiNg*

THEN PLAY IT NOW

[@cloodstroof7786]

You gotta try it. The events surrounding this song are pretty heavy

[@cakoe.]

Bro try it. It’s on Steam now and for a low price too, why wouldn’t you get it now? >:0 And you’ll be crying MORE tears once you actually play the game

I did feel bad for Nanako and this part of the game did give me the feels. However, am I the only person that felt bad for Namatame?

[@CaptainSunFlare]

no i did as well

[@BraveVermillion]

+Yu Swag Master Narukami I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thought so. While what Namatame did was a little dumb, I can understand where he was coming from.

[@CaptainSunFlare]

Brave Vermillion yeah especially since when he tried helping saki, she blew him off and she died.

[@yunogasai8800]

the real question is, am I the only one who likes Adachi?

[@BraveVermillion]

+Yuno Gasi Nope, i can relate to him to an extent, kinda. He even changes greatly in persona 4 arena
