Persona 3 is the only game that really lets the system be the focus of the game. Other games largely focus on the relationships between the main characters and the main narrative. Persona 3 Im not convinced it really has a core narrative until you get about 4 months into the school year, and I like that a whole lot more. This narrative space allowed by the game lets the game flourish through its basic dungeon crawling and its social links. I love just getting sucked into the black hole that is watching the numbers go up as I get more social links and better stats. It also lets the games tone shine through a little bit more. Persona 3s tone is brilliant and it becomes the star of the game in the absence of a lingering plot thread. The drums of Tartarus and the dorm song gives this game a mood that I just really enjoy. Its also my first Persona game which I think helps a lot - I think the first one you play sticks with you in a lot of RPG series, and Persona fits that bill. And yet, despite Persona 3 not really having a standout story for the first half of the game, the story comes on in the last few months and actually shines. Persona 3 is the only game of the three that actually ends strong. Both 4 and 5 drop the ball, but 3 actually soars during its climactic ending and exhilarating (and exhausting) final boss. I like Persona 4 and 5, but I really adore Persona 3 and come back to it all the damn time. --- xyzzy ... Copied to Clipboard! |
