Re: Persona 3

... okay. Actually, I think I've figured out exactly what it is about this game that hella hooks people.

It's like getting to play in those 90s action shoujo series. The kind with the waifish violet-eyed protagonist! The confusing highschool setting! The massive amounts of blood and bizarre religious symbology! SHAMGOTH WARDROBES. Irregular chapter releases leading to awful pacing and eventual hiatus hell! MESSED UP AND ANATOMICALLY IMPOSSIBLE OFFICIAL ARTWORK.

And some plot sometimes, I guess.

holy crap guys its like i'm 16 and reading x again EXCEPT THIS TIME I GET TO CHOOSE WHO I HAVE SUBTEXT WITH??

Dude have you gotten to Shinji yet?

Nah, I've only just started, with a peppering of spoilers (read: youtubed random scenes for Liam O'Brien's Akihiko--er.) And am immediately going cross-eyed at the very very, ah, bizarre choices in storytelling. And everyone's amazing ability to NOT answer my questions but pretend that they have. And the very vague dialogue describing what the shit is going on-- ... god it really is the 90s all over again.

I really love Shinji. And Akihiko. And Shinji and Akihiko.

...Uuuuh something happens in the middle of the game that made me laugh just because it was such that classic 90s anime blasphemy. Hint: involves a particular religious symbol.
