Persona 3
I finally beat Persona 3 today. I could have defeated it a lot sooner but I have a bad habit of wanting to max out my levels so for the past few weeks all I've been doing was working-up in Tartarus.
It's a really awesome game. I definitely say it's in my top 3 favourite games list. It's just so damn fun.
Main Character (Minato) - Strangely enough he ended up being my favourite character in this. That's odd for me since with a few exceptions (*cough Weiss Kreuz cough*) I normally like other characters better. I think it's because I got to choose his actions and was therefore able to make him into a character that I would like. Because if he had been a typical hero and thus thereby had fallen in love with Yukari? I would not have liked that.
Yukari - I have a love/hate relationship with Yukari. I think she's a whiny, snobbish, brat BUT I ended up liking to using her in my party since she can heal and attack equally well. Why they had to give good stuff to someone so annoying, I do not know.
Aigis - I was really surprised at how much I ended up liking Aigis. Despite not wanting too, I figured I would always subconsciously compare her to KOS-MOS from Xenosaga and there's no way that Aigis could win that battle. But I really ended up liking her. She's so damn cute and sweet! One of the reasons why I want FES so much is because I know you can play as her. I really wish she was one of the characters you could fall in love with since I would have gone after her in a heartbeat.
Mitsuru - Aigis shares my favourite female spot with Mitsuru since Mitsuru is so damn awesome. The only thing I regret with her is she's the one I picked to fall in love with. I wish I had chosen someone else (I should have picked Yuko or ignore that part entirely and concentrated on my other social links). I don't like the MC/Mitsuru pairing at all and think they work way better as friends. I definitely didn't like the whole subplot where Mitsuru was engaged to such a jerk.
Junpei - Despite his annoying voice (seriously he has probably the most annoying voice I've ever heard in a video game) I was originally sympathetic towards Junpei since I felt that Yukari was treating him too harshly and that he definitely didn't deserve to be called 'Stupei'. But then I realized that Yukari was right. It's just... getting jealous for no good reason, getting kidnapped, falling in love with the enemy... it all adds to a very annoying situation. I'm trying to save the world, I don't have time to babysit Junpei to make sure he's behaving and not getting into trouble. I would have been so happy if he died and Chidori replaced him in the group.
The dating side of things - One part of the game I really thought they needed to improve upon was the dating aspect of the game. They simply needed better characters to choose from to fall in love with. Yukari? Not bloody likely, I can't stand her as is. Mitsuru? Friends to the end. Fuuka? She's like a little sister. Chihiro? I'd rather date Yukari. Yuko? Okay, Yuko I liked, she's cute and a lot of fun to hangout with, but the Strength Arcana is pretty damn sucky which made me not want to date her. :/
Chihiro should have been ditched for Aigis (the Justice Arcana would have been perfect for Aigis). Or the that kid who was the Moon Arcana could have been dropped for someone dateable.
I also kinda wish you had the ability to date anyone in the game, I think that would have been better. After maxing out a character's arcana, you'd have a chance to develop a romance relationship with that person. That way pretty much everyone playing the game could date the person they liked best.
I'm interested in seeing the anime now. Especially since I did the whole saving the world thing and yet for some crazy reason, ten years later a new group of kids can summon Personas. The Dark Hour and all the stuff was suppose to be gone. I wonder how they explain things.
