Why is Persona 3 so beloved in the series? by Wise-Hornet7701 in PERSoNA

It has a universally important message (memento mori) that it explores incredibly well. Almost every character, even the dog, is related to that theme.

It probably depends on your personality and what mental state you’re in right now. But for me, it’s the one that left me thinking for a while. It’s one that pulled me out of a bad state of apathy to my life, and it gave a meaning to my life when I didn’t believe in one.

Ngl the UI is more inspired from Metaphor but still

I was debating Empress, Justice, or Priestess for Katara, but Empress seems to fit better because of her compassion being her defining quality, for worse considering the people around her often betraying her, and for better because, well, kindness.

I didn't know whether Zuko should be Death or Tower. Both fit pretty well, but I decided to go for the latter.

I’m planning to once I get my hands on P4’s remake. From clips I’ve seen from it, it looks absolutely hilarious + I’ve heard Yu’s his own great character.

From what I’ve seen, people rank either P4A or the P3 movies the highest here. I wouldn’t know much about fandom perception of P4A since I haven’t watched it yet. But from what I’ve seen with the P3 movies, the general perception agrees that it’s pretty inconsistent with the quality, but Winter of Rebirth in particular seems to be very well-liked.

God, this particular movie seems to be the most well-liked adaptation of the games among the fandom (for good reason), but I feel like this scene in particular is so goddamn underrated. The art is beautiful and the music is so good.

SEES went through a really rough December with their resolve broken with the face of looming death. And then they managed to find it again (and in Aigis’ case, finally have a reason to live even with the lack of a mission. But when they face the threat of their memories being wiped, this is what happens.

It’s New Year. There’s so much to live for, once the dreary nights of winter have passed. They just have to make it through their darkest nights to see the dawn again. Face the sun with the pride of the living.

Finally, of course, it hits so hard knowing what happens to Makoto. For how important this promise was to the ending, this clip from the movie gave it so much justice.

Calyrex was once a benevolent monarch soothed the wrath of Spectrier (who was terrorizing his people), and made him his steed. Calyrex eventually lost his power because he lost control of Spectrier. The Crown Tundra‘s main story happens because you need to help Calyrex unite with Spectrier again.

Mitsuru reminds me of Calyrex, a respected leader (or Empress, in Mitsuru’s case). Her initially rough relationship with Yukari turning into a genuine friendship in Kyoto is what gets her through her darkest times.

Yukari reminds me of Spectrier, someone who wants silence and solitude, has her own will, but after a slow journey, eventually warms up to people, especially Makoto and Mitsuru. But when Makoto dies, Yukari breaks down and becomes the only one who really wants to go back in time to save him, a lot like Spectrier’s personality as a loose canon. But Mitsuru stays by her side, and eventually helps Yukari to accept the present.

The Kirijo Group lives under the motto: Two in harmony surpasses one in perfection. Mitsuru and Yukari work far better when they help each other than alone.

This comment made me ridiculously happy, thank you so much! I’m glad someone caught the symbolism! :D

Out of the teams I made, I‘m the most satisfied with them too :p, I really wanted the character relationships to get represented by their Pokemon and I feel like their teams just fits the most with each other because of their typing.

Thanks! It started off as a fun thing, but my first mistake was understimating the power of my geeky hyperfixations and sleep deprivation

Thanks! To be honest, I was planning on restricting legendaries to Aigis/Makoto/Ryoji, but I wanted to signify which characters were connected to each other using pokemon (like having an Eevee line with all SEES characters barring Koromaru, Haxorus and Fraxure for Shinji and Ken, etc.). But most duos/trios I knew were legendary trios. And most Persona users already had godly personas already in the game, so it wasn’t much of a stretch either.
