SPOILING LITERALLY EVERYTHING. DOUBLE WARNING!!

.

this game means so much to me. there was so many moments in this game that just left me sobbing and crying, leaving me to think about MY own life in the process.

i spent so much time with this game man. so many major scenes were done so tastefully and beautifully from fes. this game visually is so gorgeous, seeing port island like this is still so crazy to me. the music in this game dude? FUCK bro they were COOKING so fucking hard. i know there is like alot of thoughts on certain reloaded versions of songs but i personally grew to love them or heck, love even more than the OG like changing seasons for example like god what a good song man. but the new tracks like color your night and its going down now? new favorites with color your night ESPECIALLY being on top 3 levels in persona music personally speaking. overall, music is #GAS #ALLTIMER

the gameplay was exactly what i expected and its so much fun. tartarus had now become a blast to run to, making personas and creating builds using a fan calculator, its all here and i love it so fucking much!

this game's loop becomes so addicting and i love how it just gets going rather quick too. the much needed dorm hangouts were such a fun way to add more life to the dorm, but also SEEs as a group. link episodes were also an incredible addition, giving characters like ken much needed development and personally has now become a character i love a lot. i also just love the fact every slink in this game is fully voiced. even though some slinks in this game while not the greatest, (except maya she is #foreverwashed) i still appreciate the extra push and im glad that this will probably be an ongoing standard for future persona games. gotta give flowers to yuko, maiko, mamoru and akinari especially for giving so much life to these already fantastic slinks.

i was just having the funnest experience going through the first half of this game as it slowly introduces new stuff in the process. but once october hit and onwards, it just became an emotional rollercoaster that i will never forget. shinjiro and chidori's death were something that i knew would eventually happen but, god those moments hit so much harder in this game. again, the voice direction is just incredible in this game. akihiko's awakening was so gut wrenching, EVERYTHING with junpei and chidori was just so beautiful man. aigis' voice progressively becoming more human as the game goes, all of it is just amazing. the voice cast is unbelievable. everyone did an incredible job, especially aigis and junpei for me were huge standouts. dawn and zeno were just amazing.

i remember hitting the very last stretch of the game. january started and the dorm's living with determination begun playing, thats when it truly solidified that this is one of the best games i've ever played. and once i beat nyx, march rolled around and i literally just sat there, tears down my face for an hour straight going through every character, every npc and what they had to say.

i was terrified about 3/5 especiallly, considering how i was reacting to the rest of this entire game bro? (crying alot) i knew i wasnt ready. but once it happened, it destroyed me man. makoto and aigis' final scene was absolutely gorgeous, heartbreaking, hopeful and so much more. the fact that they went out of their way to create exclusive sound effects and such a unique way of displaying makoto's dialogue choices in this scene was such an incredible touch to an already incredibly perfectly done ending in fes.

this game is everything i wanted for a persona 3 remake. p3's story touched me like not many stories have and seeing this game being a thing is such a surreal thought to me still. this game is in levels of xenoblade 3 and kingdom hearts 2 for me specifically on how they all have a special place in my heart. thank you for this game, im truly grateful for it.

hug your loved ones!!!!!!!!
