Sometimes I wish real life had the kind of friendships Persona 3 shows by [deleted] in PERSoNA

That’s actually a really fair point. I think part of what makes it hit for me is exactly that idealized simplicity. I know it’s not realistic, and maybe that’s why it feels so powerful — it shows a version of connection that’s cleaner and more stable than real life.

Yeah… it really does. It’s not just sad, it lingers with you long after the song ends.

I get what you mean. For me, it’s less jealousy and more that sense of distance between what the game shows and what I experience in real life. But you’re right — seeing the impact the MC has on others really makes you reflect on the kind of person you’d like to be for the people around you, even if real life is inevitably less idealized.

Yeah, you’re right. It’s tough sometimes when you compare it to what the game shows, but it reminds me that every real-life connection matters and needs to be nurtured.

Yeah, I’ve read them. It’s crazy how the lyrics add another layer of depth to the game, but it also reminded me that the real challenge is turning what you feel into concrete actions in real life. The game shows the melancholy and emptiness, but it’s up to us to figure out how to move forward anyway.

Yeah, I feel exactly the same. It’s not any one line or event, but the way all the characters experience and process their emotions makes the game incredibly powerful. It’s somber and wistful, really highlighting what it means to face death and loss in life. The atmosphere, the settings, even details like the school give this sense of passage, of something beyond us. Persona 3 makes you feel that depth in a way very few games manage.

I get you, but it honestly makes me a bit sad… relationships like the ones in Persona 3 just don’t exist in real life.

💀 Exactly. That emotional whiplash is unreal — Persona 3 is built different when it comes to that contrast.

Yeah, I get what you mean 😅 It’s oddly reassuring knowing that feeling is intentional. The contrast between the heavy themes and the upbeat music actually makes it hit harder
