bro same every time i boot up the game, i get this feeling that I should just stop playing for some reason if you've played undertale, its the same feeling you get when you want to true reset after getting the true pacifist ending it just feels kinda wrong
i need a mod so the title screen will go back to the old one. i can't start a new game with this playing in the background and seeing an empty classroom with makoto's evoker and SEES armband without its owner. i can't.. it's a beautiful day outside at port island, but he is no longer there to see it.
Just finished it last night. And yeah, apart of me is sad. But… hearing all those characters saying how they’ll live their lives, and knowing they’re able to do that because of the MC. It made me realize that Makoto was content. He found the answer to life’s greatest question. He lived a fulfilling life in just one year. Starting as a boy who didn’t particularly care about anything in life, and slowly realizing the bonds he was forging were more than just strength for him. And after I realized why he smiled when he created the seal, and when he ultimately passed, I felt a strange wholeness. Like everything was how it was meant to be. Tomorrow is a hope, never a promise. So make sure that when your time comes, you don’t have any regrets.
Once you understand, after dweling on it for some time, feeling so sad, angry, and even broken, thinking of all the things MC would not get to see, do, enjoy with everyone he holds dear to him, that's when it clicks, the moment you understand that MC didn't feel the need to keep going, he wanted to give everyone he hold dear a chance to live their lifes until their natural end, in a way, he gave them back what they gave to him in just one year. Feeling alive, hope, change, growth, all these things he saw from his friends and SL's, he wanted to protect them until the very end. We don't deserve Emo Jesus, a boy with no care about life becoming the Messiah that save it everyones lives, becoming the strongest Persona MC the franchise has known. He was trully, a most remarkable guest.
Its kind of suprising how a story of a game that came years ago still can have so much impact on people, while not many new ones are able to do that. I dont remember last time when i cried that much
P3's story is universal I feel. Death and change are inevitable trials we will face many times in our lives. Learning your purpose, the answer for why you want to live. It's profoundly human in ways that we have questioned and experienced it for millennia. That, to me, is what makes P3's story and themes feel timeless. What a masterpiece.
Kinda wish the title screen was the rooftop scene with Junpei and Chidori holding hands like that Xenoblade cleared game title screen as a bonus if you did the Junpei flower favor.
Every time i come back to the game, i try to start a NG+, but no matter what i can't get over the screen, the sky being clear, the classroom only with his evoker and armband. It's even harder with this damn music, i just sit there and listen to it, reminded of the journey i had with this game... RIP Makoto, you did what not everyone would do🫡🫡🤧🤧
Beat the game today, The fact its March 5th today was not planned, it also did not help my feelings... Then the title screen change was basically the game kicking me while I was down
I've never cried playing a video game. Not even RDR2. i shed a tear sure but i didnt cry. this made me cry. this is the first peace of media (movie, game, etc) to ever make me cry.
Theres always the "one rule" with music like this: You cry the first time you hear it. Then a day later. One week. One month. Until the years go by, forever holding onto the memories of such a legendary story. This game really has impacted my life more than anything and Reloads version only made it better.
I wanted him to be able to see his friends one last time, so 4:12 looped for me for a solid 4 minutes as i held back tears trying desperately not to neglect the games message and pick the dots, hoping that it’d prolong things a little longer
I admit, I'm finally noticing the beauty of spring. It's wonderful. And yet, without exception, each and every season will come to an end. We fought side by side... We faced the world's end... And now... I'm finally beginning to understand... ...what it was I'd been searching for. I always wondered what it really meant to "live." Now, I think it's... Following your heart... Fighting for what you can change... And accepting the things you can't. Nothing on this earth lasts forever. Every life will one day fizzle out... That holds true for all of us. And as soon as you come to terms with it, you realize something. You see what really matters... And find out what it is that gives your life meaning. When I learned that I wasn't strong enough... I was tormented by it. Now I understand why. Protecting others is the duty I was given... But to me, it was more than an obligation. At some point, it became something I wanted to do for myself. Once I decided to try and prevent the Fall... something inside me clicked. When I thought about how I might never see you again... That's when I first understood... what mattered to me the most. And so, I made up my mind. What I want... is to protect you. From now, until the end of time. I want to stay by your side. And I know, I'm not the only one out there who could do this... But still, I want to. Because I'm positive... if I do it for you... Then nothing's a waste. My life... will have meaning. So... thank you... *> Don't cry.* Sorry... What's gotten into me? It's good... I've finally found a reason to live. So why am I...? ... They're here... I see it now. I have friends... we support each other through thick and thin... Not everything needs to be for some greater purpose. Just caring about someone can be enough. That's all we need to give our lives meaning... As for me, I've found my path. And that's to protect you with my life. Thank you so much... for everything. You must be tired. Go ahead and rest now. I'll be right here. I won't be going anywhere. In a moment, the others will be joining us... ... *I'm getting sleepier...* *My eyes feel heavy...* *> Close them* ... It'll be okay. I'm right by your side... Here to protect you forevermore.
I don't mean to be that guy, but it's Living with Determination that plays during Social links, if I'm not mistaken? Or maybe you mean Aigis' Link, in which case it's probably Memories of the School. I realize I probably sound like a snob, buy that's genuinely not my intention 😭
Knowing what happens to Makoto and doing all those promises and looking forward to the future in the social links is so sad. I mean when Koromaru gives you the collar the priest had made for him it just broke me. This game is so beautiful 😭
Akinari's Mom: "...Before I go, let this old woman give you one piece of advice....Take care of the ones you hold dear. If you wait until their day comes...It's too late. Clinging to their cold bodies won't bring them back.....Everyone who's born will die someday. Not just Akinari or me or even you. Its all the same...So before that happens...It doesn't take a grand gesture. You don't have to make a big production of it, but...If you love someone, let them know it" On The Roof: (Rubs a tear from Aigis's eye before he dies.)
Finished the game today and my god was it a beautiful experience. Going through this ending again makes me realize how much the MC has affected everyone around him from what we see in Persona 4 and Persona 4 Arena. God bless this wonderful game.
This game took a part of me with it to be real. But it taught me something too. Everybody’s got something or someone to protect whether it’s themselves or others. And cherish those you trust and hold dearest.
I already had played FES and watched the anime, I knew what was coming. Somehow this game still managed to make me ugly cry more than I ever have playing a video game. Thanks for this masterpiece Atlus, this game will always have a very special place in my heart.
Really glad they separated this and Memories of the School to the other version so we could just have one track that plays during the whole sequence and seamlessly goes into Memories of You.
I've finished Persona 3 five times now: Portable three times. FES once. And now, Reload once as well. When I got to this part, I was *not* expecting to cry. I expected to feel really bittersweet because I knew that Makoto willingly sacrificed himself to protect the world, and also because I had seen the scene a bunch of times by that point due to my past playthroughs. But the moment Aigis said this line, I just started tearing up: *"It'll be okay. I'm right by your side... Here to protect you forevermore."* God, what a masterpiece of a game. Persona 3 is, without a doubt, my favorite game of all time.
@@shamussarrazine6623 game award would not....i bet it will be dragon age or the like that fits their agenda...it been that way for them.[ *remove tinfoil hat* ]I really do hope they do acknowledge
This song it's in my mind since I started 11º grade. Only 2 years... And then to the university. Walking in my school remind me of a child who only wants to see their friends and have fun. When the pandemic starts (2020) I started thinking... That nothing will be the same after that. I'm 16, in July I'll be 17, and I don't want that time goes away. I want to remember that days, help other people... And seem them happy for the future.
Having never played this to completion 17 years ago, I finally did it with Reload. I was not ready for this shit, especially when the piano 4:12 came up. All the more weird knowing that Memories of You has been my favorite Persona ending theme for a good while. It's just too strong
I’ve been looking for this theme. Thank you so much for uploading this. It’s both beautiful and sad to hear while watching the ending of the game. It made be cry! 😭
they made this shit the title screen music and i was staring at my screen for a good 10 minutes man (tho i think the one that plays on the title screen is a very slightly different version)
It’s amazing how such a small detail can have such a huge impact. It’s like as the epilogue for the sun social link states “it doesn’t have to be a grand gesture or a large production” it’s beautiful how something so small can carry so much weight. The menu takes a portion of this song and loops starting at 3:27
*SPOILERS KINDA BELOW:* I still find it very ironic that in the moment, it feels like this track's title, it's Aigis' words toward the protag. But then you realize in truth, it's not. *It's the other way around.*
Well.. he does "leave" Thanatos behind for Aigis in The Answer DLC I believe. so yeah, a piece of him will always protect her, even if it was just a piece of death he harbored unintentionally.
It's because of how The Answer/Episode Aigis ends, so again, since the Episode Aigis DLC is gonna be a remake of The Answer, *SPOILERS BELOW* The course of the story explains why the protagonist had to die, and why Aigis suddenly has his power The short of it is, the protagonist gave his life to create the Great Seal on Nyx, but Nyx is revealed to be neither hostile nor malevolent-- The Great Seal was made to protect Nyx from Erebus, a monster that was created from the collective will of the people to call down Nyx and plead for The Fall, welcoming death. But as such, Erebus cannot be killed-- Not unless people stop wishing for death. And if Nyx dies, then those wishes will come true for the entire world. The Great Seal is using the protagonist's life force to stay intact, thus protecting Nyx, as well as his friends, from Erebus and impending death, possibly forever. Which is why as of P4A, Elizabeth has left the Velvet Room-- She has embarked on her own journey in hopes of finding some way to rescue him and set him free.
I will never forget this game for as long as I live. It taught me how to live and love those around me to the fullest. We never know when our time will come, so I’m going to make sure I live every day with no regrets. As I finish this comment with tears in my eyes, I hope everyone who took the time to read this will do the same.
After finishing the game a week ago this song suddenly was on my mind then everything hits me hard the characters, music, the story was so great the game rly handle the theme very well too
I truly believe that Persona 3 is more than just a game. It’s a beautiful story from start to finish and teaches such a powerful message; that while death is inevitable, it is because of that fact we should live with all we have, and have no regrets. This game genuinely changed my life and I just felt like sharing this with other people who love this amazing game as much as I do.
I was so in my feelings after that entire ending and the credits, to then have this play on the title screen with the sun and cherry blossoms outside and Makoto’s evoker laying there by itself on a table. I just sat and stared for a bit why would they do this me😩
I just beat this game today, it was my first ever persona game and oh my god it brought me to genuine tears. I couldn't help but cry at the end of this game and that last cutscene with Aigis and Yuki. This game is legendary and deserves all the praise.
Not gonna say who just in case someone reading this hasn't beaten Persona 3, but this game straight up has in my mind on of the saddest charecter deaths ever. Like, I feel like I'm legit morning him still even though I already knew he'd die! What a game!
I thought I could keep myself together when I was watching this ending. But no. I was quietly sobbing while watching one of the most beautifully bittersweet and heartbreaking endings in all of fiction.
I spoiled the game for myself long before the remake was announced. Despite knowing the ending, I still sobbed profusely. In a way, spoilers played along with the game’s message of expecting and accepting death or sum shit
-beat the game -cry through the entire ending -finally start recollecting yourself during the credits -go back to the menu, 3:26 hits -start crying all over again
first heard it during Maiko's link, almost broke me and i was just a little bit into the game, couldn't believe it. what a damn good song. I am not going to be ready when it kicks in at the end.
This was like my first ever persona game and the only game out there that actually made me cry persona 3 reload is the reason why I got into playing the other persona games now this game series is like my all time favorite and I mean that
They had to go and make this the title screen music once you've beaten the game once, didn't they? So you cant go 10 seconds after booting up the game without crying.
That is why it was dead silent when u first boot up the menu. I know Atlus is cooking something, but too late to realize how well done the execution was. Atlus and their cunning scheme...
It's official. It's going to be extremely impossible for any other Persona game to top this beautiful game for me. For real though, the original ending made me cry and was already one of my favorite endings in a game. But goddamn Aigis's speech here made me feel like someone was squeezing my heart 😢
este juego.. logro encontrar un lugar en mi corazon que jamas sera reemplazado. recuerdo que cuando lo termine estuve como 15 minutos en la pantalla de inicio y no queria cerrarlo.. son historias que simplemente a pesar de ser consideradas "videjuegos" calan en ti y logran hacerte ver las cosas de diferente manera. Persona 3 es un viaje inolvidable y al igual que su version antes del remake, son joyas que todo el mundo deberia probar
Bro I know I’m not in the minority here, but this ending hit me so hard man. I’ve NEVER been hit like this. I was in like a three year slump of not progressing forward and I was 21 years old without a license and the future was just so built up in my mind that I just got so stuck and then BAM persona 3 came along and two weeks later I had a license and a car. It’s kinda hard to remember what my headspace was like when I was playing this game, and it’s not like it changed me as a person. I’m still lazy and still procrastinate constantly. I mean hell my credit card hasn’t worked for weeks and I still haven’t found the motivation to figure that out. But this game man…it just shot me so far forward and I can’t even put into words why.
Even in the face of death itself makoto stood defiantly cause he knew what he had was worth fighting for the people he had met in his short time at tatsumi port island He protected it with his own life a sacrifice a martyr for humanities self loathing
Helped Junpei save Chidori from death Loved Chihiro until the very end despite all the advances from the other girls, and the threat of death Became brothers with Shinji Raised Koromaru and Ken and helped Akihiko find his inner strength Helped Mutatsu return to his family Helped Maiko and many others find purpose in their times of trial Told Ryoji we would settle our disagreement like men a top of Tarturus Tower. And in the end, went out like Arthur Morgan from RDR2 Easily one of the greatest games I ever played.
@@sLasHeRxXx07 I felt bad for Ryoji. He was such a chad, and it hurt having to fight him. He didn't deserve the hand he was dealt and if there was another way, I would have done it.
The protagonist death isn't what gets me. It's the sadness knowing his friends will no longer be able to see him again.😢 I know they are fictional but that doesnt make it any less heart breaking.
The year is 2007. Folks were still young, your loved ones were still alive, life was simple, kids still go outside to play, students brought iPods, Nintendo DS and PSPs to school since Spotify and tablets weren't a thing, People weren't that glued to the internet and still had YM and Friendster and the PS2 was on its last legs. This game brings you to that year(since y'know, game came out in english speaking regions that year). Playing P3R felt like going through memory lane about the old days, old place or old friend you havent seen in years.
This was my first ever experience with a persona game so I don’t have that nostalgia but I see so many comments like this. It warms my heart to see how this brings back memories of simpler times for so many people and how significant and impactful this story is to them. I hope you continue to treasure those memories.
I know they’ve already done a lot for us but, I still kind of wish there was a funeral scene for the mc. Maybe they could add that to The Answer but, Idk if they would.
Only one I can say about this it made feel sad and persona 3 is one of the few games that can make me feel this way and I tear up multiple time in this game and that’s not a bad thing
This was a god damn good game for NEVER having played the original. Atlus may have not knocked it completely out of the park, but it was worth my $70, I enjoyed the fuck out of this game. I have yet to see Persona 2 & 1’s stories but Persona 3 definitely THE SADDEST by far💯💯
Hermano, como en la parte final la melodía se va desvaneciendo poco a poco, justo como la vida de Makoto en esa parte del juego Mientras que la siguiente canción -Memories of You- empieza de una forma tan explosiva, representando el inicio de la vida de Aigis. Este maldito juego es una obra maestra.
"Okay, let's play Persona 3 Reload without crying!" *several hours later "Guys, i'm already at the end of the game! *sobs* i did not fail the challenge, i didn't! *sobs*"

Bro i lost it when this started playing on the title screen after beating the game.

every time i boot up the game, i get this feeling that I should just stop playing for some reason

it just feels kinda wrong

I admit, I'm finally noticing the beauty of spring. It's wonderful.
And yet, without exception, each and every season will come to an end.
We fought side by side... We faced the world's end...
And now... I'm finally beginning to understand...
...what it was I'd been searching for.
I always wondered what it really meant to "live." Now, I think it's...
Following your heart... Fighting for what you can change... And accepting the things you can't.
Nothing on this earth lasts forever.
Every life will one day fizzle out...
That holds true for all of us. And as soon as you come to terms with it, you realize something.
You see what really matters...
And find out what it is that gives your life meaning.
When I learned that I wasn't strong enough... I was tormented by it. Now I understand why.
Protecting others is the duty I was given... But to me, it was more than an obligation.
At some point, it became something I wanted to do for myself.
Once I decided to try and prevent the Fall... something inside me clicked.
When I thought about how I might never see you again... That's when I first understood... what mattered to me the most.
And so, I made up my mind. What I want... is to protect you. From now, until the end of time. I want to stay by your side.
And I know, I'm not the only one out there who could do this... But still, I want to. Because I'm positive... if I do it for you...
Then nothing's a waste. My life... will have meaning.
So... thank you...
*> Don't cry.*
Sorry... What's gotten into me? It's good... I've finally found a reason to live. So why am I...?
...
They're here... I see it now. I have friends... we support each other through thick and thin...
Not everything needs to be for some greater purpose. Just caring about someone can be enough.
That's all we need to give our lives meaning... As for me, I've found my path. And that's to protect you with my life.
Thank you so much... for everything.
You must be tired.
Go ahead and rest now.
I'll be right here. I won't be going anywhere.
In a moment, the others will be joining us...

@@shamussarrazine6623 game award would not....i bet it will be dragon age or the like that fits their agenda...it been that way for them.[ *remove tinfoil hat* ]I really do hope they do acknowledge
Sorry to tell you, but that won't happen
This song it's in my mind since I started 11º grade. Only 2 years... And then to the university. Walking in my school remind me of a child who only wants to see their friends and have fun. When the pandemic starts (2020) I started thinking... That nothing will be the same after that.
I'm 16, in July I'll be 17, and I don't want that time goes away. I want to remember that days, help other people... And seem them happy for the future.
Having never played this to completion 17 years ago, I finally did it with Reload.
I was not ready for this shit, especially when the piano 4:12 came up. All the more weird knowing that Memories of You has been my favorite Persona ending theme for a good while. It's just too strong
I’ve been looking for this theme. Thank you so much for uploading this. It’s both beautiful and sad to hear while watching the ending of the game. It made be cry! 😭
I Remember I Already Cried After The Ending, And When I Stopped Crying This Showed Up. You Can Immagine How It Ended
when i go band for band with bro and he pulls up "Because I Will Protect You - Persona 3 Reload OST"
Sorry you lost then bro, this song is priceless
Legit cried so hard after beating this game that my eyes were so swollen the next day.
I just laid in bed for like an hour with this playing
I beat the game today and am actively sobbing in bed. What a phenomenal fucking game
"close your eyes, and you'll see" all I can hear 😭
they made this shit the title screen music and i was staring at my screen for a good 10 minutes man
(tho i think the one that plays on the title screen is a very slightly different version)
Same, I was just shocked
It’s amazing how such a small detail can have such a huge impact. It’s like as the epilogue for the sun social link states “it doesn’t have to be a grand gesture or a large production” it’s beautiful how something so small can carry so much weight.
The menu takes a portion of this song and loops starting at 3:27
One of the few times where a video game made me cry….
Nah, I'd cry 😭
i finished this game and the tears in my eyes have still not wavered after an hour
already finished the game .Man i feel empty...
I haven't even beat 5 and I started it in god damn July, how tf
Welcome to p3 brother, everytime you beat it you're gonna feel empty
I beat it earlier this morning. I cried harder than i did in 3 years.
I beat it around 3 days ago now, A game has never made me cry harder than when I finished this outstanding game.
How…
IVE BEEN CRYING, FOR HOURS NOW!!!!
*SPOILERS KINDA BELOW:*
I still find it very ironic that in the moment, it feels like this track's title, it's Aigis' words toward the protag.
But then you realize in truth, it's not.
*It's the other way around.*
Well.. he does "leave" Thanatos behind for Aigis in The Answer DLC I believe.
so yeah, a piece of him will always protect her, even if it was just a piece of death he harbored unintentionally.
Care to elaborate? I can see what you are saying but I feel like I don't get what you mean by it fully
It's because of how The Answer/Episode Aigis ends, so again, since the Episode Aigis DLC is gonna be a remake of The Answer, *SPOILERS BELOW*
The course of the story explains why the protagonist had to die, and why Aigis suddenly has his power
The short of it is, the protagonist gave his life to create the Great Seal on Nyx, but Nyx is revealed to be neither hostile nor malevolent-- The Great Seal was made to protect Nyx from Erebus, a monster that was created from the collective will of the people to call down Nyx and plead for The Fall, welcoming death. But as such, Erebus cannot be killed-- Not unless people stop wishing for death. And if Nyx dies, then those wishes will come true for the entire world.
The Great Seal is using the protagonist's life force to stay intact, thus protecting Nyx, as well as his friends, from Erebus and impending death, possibly forever. Which is why as of P4A, Elizabeth has left the Velvet Room-- She has embarked on her own journey in hopes of finding some way to rescue him and set him free.
I will never forget this game for as long as I live. It taught me how to live and love those around me to the fullest. We never know when our time will come, so I’m going to make sure I live every day with no regrets. As I finish this comment with tears in my eyes, I hope everyone who took the time to read this will do the same.
After finishing the game a week ago this song suddenly was on my mind then everything hits me hard the characters, music, the story was so great the game rly handle the theme very well too
We dying on March 5th with this one 🔥💀
Peak is still Peak
I truly believe that Persona 3 is more than just a game. It’s a beautiful story from start to finish and teaches such a powerful message; that while death is inevitable, it is because of that fact we should live with all we have, and have no regrets. This game genuinely changed my life and I just felt like sharing this with other people who love this amazing game as much as I do.
I was so in my feelings after that entire ending and the credits, to then have this play on the title screen with the sun and cherry blossoms outside and Makoto’s evoker laying there by itself on a table. I just sat and stared for a bit why would they do this me😩
I just beat this game today, it was my first ever persona game and oh my god it brought me to genuine tears. I couldn't help but cry at the end of this game and that last cutscene with Aigis and Yuki. This game is legendary and deserves all the praise.
Not gonna say who just in case someone reading this hasn't beaten Persona 3, but this game straight up has in my mind on of the saddest charecter deaths ever. Like, I feel like I'm legit morning him still even though I already knew he'd die! What a game!
I hope he saw that though
Today I finished the game, got up from the table, went out onto the balcony... lit a cigarette... thought a lot... cried...
It hurts
😭
It does..
I thought I could keep myself together when I was watching this ending. But no. I was quietly sobbing while watching one of the most beautifully bittersweet and heartbreaking endings in all of fiction.
Gives me "May I?, Unshaken." Vibes from rdr2 for some reason
3:15 sounds like the original P3 Fes title screen theme im crying 😭
2:39 has me crying and levitating
He didn't deserve this ending!!!!!!😢😭, he was just a 16 year old orphan who sacrificed his own life to save his friends and the world 🌎
Having to hear this every time after I’ve beaten the game is so cruel.
I spoiled the game for myself long before the remake was announced. Despite knowing the ending, I still sobbed profusely. In a way, spoilers played along with the game’s message of expecting and accepting death or sum shit
-beat the game
-cry through the entire ending
-finally start recollecting yourself during the credits
-go back to the menu, 3:26 hits
-start crying all over again
first heard it during Maiko's link, almost broke me and i was just a little bit into the game, couldn't believe it. what a damn good song. I am not going to be ready when it kicks in at the end.
Trust me bro youre gonna wish you never finished it in the first place.
@@yungronnie1146 I already know what happens lol, I'm just not gonna be prepared anyway.
Happy March 5th everyone...
WE CLOSING OUR EYES WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🗣
This was like my first ever persona game and the only game out there that actually made me cry persona 3 reload is the reason why I got into playing the other persona games now this game series is like my all time favorite and I mean that
They had to go and make this the title screen music once you've beaten the game once, didn't they?
So you cant go 10 seconds after booting up the game without crying.
That is why it was dead silent when u first boot up the menu. I know Atlus is cooking something, but too late to realize how well done the execution was.
Atlus and their cunning scheme...
Precisely
It's official. It's going to be extremely impossible for any other Persona game to top this beautiful game for me.
For real though, the original ending made me cry and was already one of my favorite endings in a game. But goddamn Aigis's speech here made me feel like someone was squeezing my heart 😢
I never played original so this completely caught me off guard
este juego.. logro encontrar un lugar en mi corazon que jamas sera reemplazado. recuerdo que cuando lo termine estuve como 15 minutos en la pantalla de inicio y no queria cerrarlo.. son historias que simplemente a pesar de ser consideradas "videjuegos" calan en ti y logran hacerte ver las cosas de diferente manera. Persona 3 es un viaje inolvidable y al igual que su version antes del remake, son joyas que todo el mundo deberia probar
Facts
Bro I know I’m not in the minority here, but this ending hit me so hard man. I’ve NEVER been hit like this.
I was in like a three year slump of not progressing forward and I was 21 years old without a license and the future was just so built up in my mind that I just got so stuck and then BAM persona 3 came along and two weeks later I had a license and a car.
It’s kinda hard to remember what my headspace was like when I was playing this game, and it’s not like it changed me as a person. I’m still lazy and still procrastinate constantly.
I mean hell my credit card hasn’t worked for weeks and I still haven’t found the motivation to figure that out.
But this game man…it just shot me so far forward and I can’t even put into words why.
Felt this. Persona has changed and even saved my life in the same way. It's still hard but somehow better. Good luck out there man.💜
I understand you, friend
Even in the face of death itself makoto stood defiantly cause he knew what he had was worth fighting for the people he had met in his short time at tatsumi port island
He protected it with his own life a sacrifice a martyr for humanities self loathing
Even if seasons change, Makoto and Aigis's love will stay the same
I cried listening too this while reading hayase's social link.
Sad part is that I beat this game today and it’s the day Makoto yuki dies
Helped Junpei save Chidori from death
Loved Chihiro until the very end despite all the advances from the other girls, and the threat of death
Became brothers with Shinji
Raised Koromaru and Ken and helped Akihiko find his inner strength
Helped Mutatsu return to his family
Helped Maiko and many others find purpose in their times of trial
Told Ryoji we would settle our disagreement like men a top of Tarturus Tower.
And in the end, went out like Arthur Morgan from RDR2
Easily one of the greatest games I ever played.
Ryoji deserved better. Guy was such a homie
@@sLasHeRxXx07Totally
@@sLasHeRxXx07 I felt bad for Ryoji. He was such a chad, and it hurt having to fight him. He didn't deserve the hand he was dealt and if there was another way, I would have done it.
Real men cry after playing Rdr2 and persona 3 along with crisis core ffvii
Helped a robot find their way in the world and a purpose to live for
First Playthrough: "What a peaceful title screen!"
After First Playthrough: "I hate you Atlus. I hate myself for letting you do this to me."
The protagonist death isn't what gets me. It's the sadness knowing his friends will no longer be able to see him again.😢
I know they are fictional but that doesnt make it any less heart breaking.
I'ts funny how i got here from the angel beats op...how much sadness does TH-cam want to give me.
The year is 2007.
Folks were still young, your loved ones were still alive, life was simple, kids still go outside to play, students brought iPods, Nintendo DS and PSPs to school since Spotify and tablets weren't a thing, People weren't that glued to the internet and still had YM and Friendster and the PS2 was on its last legs. This game brings you to that year(since y'know, game came out in english speaking regions that year).
Playing P3R felt like going through memory lane about the old days, old place or old friend you havent seen in years.
This was my first ever experience with a persona game so I don’t have that nostalgia but I see so many comments like this. It warms my heart to see how this brings back memories of simpler times for so many people and how significant and impactful this story is to them. I hope you continue to treasure those memories.
@@deucesbye that's .....tragic . I hope you'll find a game that makes you feel that way years from now.
Exactly. Beautiful times that will sadly never come back...
Nostalgia hearing it
I wish i could forget everything about this game and replay it again.
Dude Plus all of the social link You bond Hearing the man that help them during their crisis passed away
mfw hearing this in the title screen: i dont want to play this shi anymore
Today's the day March 5th 😭
I know they’ve already done a lot for us but, I still kind of wish there was a funeral scene for the mc. Maybe they could add that to The Answer but, Idk if they would.
Bebe lost someone very important to him...
Twice.... First his aunt...and then our mc 😞
C’est magnifiquen’t
This is honestly what got to me. I wasn’t personally sad that Makoto was gone, I was sad for all his friends, all the plans they had for the future
Only one I can say about this it made feel sad and persona 3 is one of the few games that can make me feel this way and I tear up multiple time in this game and that’s not a bad thing
Your eyes feel heavy.
Damn, this one first played on the Maiko Social Link in my playthrough and it hit all the feels from the rooftop scene years ago.
Same man. When it first played, I just let it play for a good 3mins and started tearing up
different song sorry
this came on randomly on spotify and i wondered why i was suddenly tearing up for no reason
i just realized that this song sounds like a slowed down version of Memories of You
LOVE this music box like version
This was a god damn good game for NEVER having played the original. Atlus may have not knocked it completely out of the park, but it was worth my $70, I enjoyed the fuck out of this game. I have yet to see Persona 2 & 1’s stories but Persona 3 definitely THE SADDEST by far💯💯
I finally found it! They changed memories of the school another version to memories of the school so I could never find this one!
4:11 goosebumps
Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s usually the part when Aegis says “Thank you, so much.” I was lucky enough to get the timing. And the emotional impact was heart breaking.
😢😢😢@@Broski26
3:26 is where the title screen starts
Cinema 😭
Hermano, como en la parte final la melodía se va desvaneciendo poco a poco, justo como la vida de Makoto en esa parte del juego
Mientras que la siguiente canción -Memories of You- empieza de una forma tan explosiva, representando el inicio de la vida de Aigis.
Este maldito juego es una obra maestra.
"Okay, let's play Persona 3 Reload without crying!"
*several hours later
"Guys, i'm already at the end of the game! *sobs* i did not fail the challenge, i didn't! *sobs*"
Es increíble lo que puede lograr un videojuego.
I need a robot hunny like aigis
