Video game journalism king. reviews Persona 3 FES
Persona 3 named after the titular protagonist of the series with the same name is a videogame that deals with complex themes, subject matters and topics of conversation. This forms a triadic structure to the game. An innovative way to justify the first entry in a series having the number three. A move also pulled by 2003’s acclaimed smash release threedom fighter S but to less success because no one remembers it, the fact i am not really discussing it here and that no one is anywhere at all but some people do talk about persona (the game not the character, thought i guess they might also do that) is very telling.
In the game you are a weeaboo in japan trying to be japanised. When you discover you have the powers to have a personality and that having said personality lets you fight shadows, which as a clever literary device represent darkness, maybe, i mean there are no right answers where that's why we took english gcse right but somehow the teacher didn’t recognize my talent and neither did the exam man who instead of helping me like i kept asking him to just paced up and down for two hours while i wept because my pen ran out of ink.
Persona has even more tragic story than that as you the protagonist must make friends and then get them to like you in order to make your personality the best one. Like batman do this by day by buying girls catus’s and being told that a janitor's closet is a janitor's closet then going to karaoke which is japanese for singing really good in the original kanji. You also have to answer questions in class, this gameplay element really evoked a feeling in me as i was forced to relive the trauma of answering questions while pretending not to have an erection (tuck it in your belt).
At night you can go to a school again but now it’s evil and there's blood everywhere and because it's night people get tired. This is where the shadows come in, as in they live their at night and you fight them to get more tower so you can fight them more to get more tower and sometimes they're harder. Here you use your personalities to make stronger ones by mashing them up. For example dick van dike and bane from batman would fuse to give, well i’m not really sure there not in the game not even as dlc but i’ll do a prize pool for whoever finishes this paragraph best for me.
Floors, there are lots of them and you climb them to go up through the game at night. flaws , there is no dlc, the erections in class (lost my belt), the game makes you do one day at a time and there is no time traveling. That being said there is an extra hour everyday and everyone keeps going on about how that's cool but do you age during this our and does this mean i need to adjust when i have my birthdays and will i die sooner. These issues are never addressed and i hope bug fixes will be released in time to deal with them.
Over all it is good, i like the girls when they say nice things about me, i do not like the teachers they are mean. The moral of the story is one of psychology and astrology, too sciency for a creative soul like myself but something i’m sure can be enjoyed by an audience that has been going to Wakatsu for their after school snacks. 10/10 minus the bad stuff i said (not a scientist yo)
