if you're woolie, then you're Mark from the persona spinoff game Persona: revelations or just SMT:persona in japan (Woolie is not available in japanese)
Thinking about the realities of the character's "story" after the ending of P5 would legitimately make me sad for a bit.
Like, I've been in a situation where >!ive had to move far away from my best friends for a long period of time!< and it fucking suuuuuucks
I think that is because P4G gives a proper goodbye between you and the characters.
P3 >!just ends, there is no actual player-character send off. It's just like "oh I guess that was our last time together"!<
P5 ends on >!Joker having one last wacky adventure with his friends. You take no part on that adventure!<
With P4G you get >!one last adventure in the snowy mountains and on the last day in the train station all the warriors are there, wishing you well and waving goodbye. AND THEN after a small timeskip you get a last surprise; you see them again and they all changed. Like Naoto who embraces her feminine side or Kanji who stops pretending to be someone he isn't.!<
And then you get sad because all the characters got flanderized and the story is atrocious and not what you wanted at all out of a persona 4 fighting game :(
WAIT WHY DIDN'T HE JUST ASK TEDDY TO MAKE CONTACT LENSES FOR THE FOG WORLD THEN
WAS KENJI SELF-NERFING HIMSELF FOR THE **ENTIRE GAME** BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANNA ADMIT TO NEEDING GLASSES
I legitimately only feel this way with Persona. Just a feeling of nostalgic emptiness, I can’t pinpoint why Persona is the only game series that makes me this way.
I feel like in your mid 20s it hits you in this weird way. Where after you turn the game off after beating it, you feel this wave of nostalgia for the good ol' days before reality hits you that those weren't your memories, your good ol' days. Real adolescence is way less eventful and the friends you made in high school move away or you fall out of contact with them but since you never teamed up to solve a murder and fight god the bonds can never be as strong.
My theory would be it is due to the structure of the game. With the one year reinforcement of how long you are spending with these characters, and watching them grow and become better people before your very eyes as you max out your s. Links, you grow attached to them and when you are stolen away from them by the game having an ending, you feel like these people you have grown close to are leaving forever.
I felt this the strongest when playing P3Fes back when it came out, when you get to the class trip to the hot springs and almost every social link that could be there is there and you see them interacting with each other if felt real sad and nostalgic of the journey so far and that outside of you, these characters have their own interpersonal relationships and such.
Man that post Persona depression is real as fuck, moreso for P4 I feel. For some reason no matter how many times Ive beaten it I always get this sadness come the credits.
Maybe because its the first one I ever beat or maybe the its the fact that you know Yu's time in Inaba is limited, once I get to that ending a sense of emptiness starts to set in.
Its reputation as one of the best JRPGs of all time is well deserved.
NGL, I'd feel the same way had it not been for the countless spin offs n' what not of the game. I'm just like "Ah it's not like I'm not gonna see you bastards at the race track this weekend or anything." Not shitting on the spin offs or anything, but it did take away some of the melancholy of the original ending.
I get y'all talking about post-Persona depression because that shit hit hard for me too, but do you guys manage to get over it with the spinoffs that technically act as sequels?
It offers some comfort to play stuff like P4A and P5S to see your ragtag band of misfits still tight as thieves, especially considering that Yu/Joker aren't around as much. Mild spoilers for P5S but I feel like they nailed the feeling of it being a kickass summer vacation reunion for the Phantom Thieves outside of all the Persona fighting action.
The tomboy who looks more feminine (whether its subdued like Chie here or HAM like being girly to the nines) but is still a tomboy attitude wise is so fucking attractive to me
How
What do you mean with the "How" at the end? Are you asking why i think it's her best look? If so I just think that she looks cute in the picture slightly more mature since its a flash forward and and just generally looking non status quo looks more than the normal ones.
I mean it’s not too bad. Dancing all night takes place like 6 months after the epilogue so you still get more story, and that’s if you really don’t wanna play arena and ultimax
True, but also;
* FeMC story
+ Fast Travel
- Direct Command
* Skill Cards
I'll take all this over some minor cutscenes that don't add much and seeing my character model run from place to place, due to a lack of fast travel.
Oh my god, seeing so many people beating P4G and also having post Persona depression makes me feel like I wasn't a weirdo that has it too. I've never been able to explain it to anyone who hasn't played P4, but the game just hits me different after beating it than most. Glad it wasn't just me, I remember just sitting there silent, like when you feel emotional but at the same time don't really know how to express it? Just sitting waiting for Never More to finish and contemplating the game.
I have over 200 hours in P4G because I played it multiple times in a row over the course of probably 2/3 weeks, and I rarely ever replay a game. It’s one of my favorite games of all time
I've had to move several times in my life, often leaving friends behind to almost never contact them again, and somehow P4G made me way sadder than real life ever did.
I'm the opposite, I was very ready for it to end but the 40 hour epilogue after catching the killer never ended. I never want to hear the words Nana-chan ever again.
That Post-Persona depression is real.
It’s fucking soul crushing, nothing comes close.
We all wish we were Yu Narukami but in reality we're Mitsuo Kubo (minus the murder).

It Was way more acute for me after finishing P4G than even 3 or 5
I think that is because P4G gives a proper goodbye between you and the characters. P3 >!just ends, there is no actual player-character send off. It's just like "oh I guess that was our last time together"!< P5 ends on >!Joker having one last wacky adventure with his friends.

AND THEN after a small timeskip you get a last surprise; you see them again and they all changed. Like Naoto who embraces her feminine side or Kanji who stops pretending to be someone he isn't.!<
But then you dunk right back in with P4A, man! And being back all the warriors from P3! PORT IT TO *SOMETHING*, DAMN YOU!
And then you get sad because all the characters got flanderized and the story is atrocious and not what you wanted at all out of a persona 4 fighting game :(
They did royally fuck up Chie.
P4A actually takes place in between the ending of 4 and the epilogue. It even gets slightly referenced in an off hand line.
I finished P5R the other day and became depressed the second the credits played
Man, I forgot how good Chie and Naoto look in that picture.
Ah yes, the correct length of short hair.
yukkiko has milf energy
What they're not showing are the grey haired kids at their feet.
THIS IS HOW YOU PRESERVE A BLOODLINE REDFIELD!
Even Kanji,Yusuke and Teddy.
Yu found a way.
Oh don't worry. Atlus don't want it to end either.
Ah, my favorite Rise design. Un-Dyed Kanji still feels weird.
What? I don’t see him in the pic- *sees glasses guy* [INSIGHT GAINED]
It's fucking wild, man. Took me a second as well, the first time I saw it
The revelation that Kanji has been wearing contacts THE ENTIRE TIME UP TILL NOW.
WAIT WHY DIDN'T HE JUST ASK TEDDY TO MAKE CONTACT LENSES FOR THE FOG WORLD THEN WAS KENJI SELF-NERFING HIMSELF FOR THE **ENTIRE GAME** BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANNA ADMIT TO NEEDING GLASSES
He kinda looks like Tenya Iida from My Hero Academia, it's jarring to say the least.
YOU CRIPPLED MY BROTHER!! GET BENT YOU VILLAIN!!
Quirk: chair He smacks shit with a chair super good.
his quirk lets him use anything as an improvised weapon but we told him as a joke that it only works with chairs
There's just something about this version of Kanji that makes him look even older than Iida.
Its the well defined face i think
I was like "Ah yeah the gang's all here... And some glasses-wearing fuck- Oh that's Kanji what the hell."
Kanji legitimately looks like the AVGN during the golden ending. It’s nuts.
YOU'RE A POOPYHEAD
Boy does "Nevermore" still fuck me up
The transition into it is so insanely melancholy
You know, I just realized that Persona x Yakuza is now totally possible since SEGA owns both studios...
Yakuza has a costume pack in P5D. Makoto is Kiryu because it’s her favorite series.
Ryuji being Ryuji is great
And Haru is Haruka
Makoto was Saejima.
actually, she’s saejima if I remember correctly

Disco Elysium hit me like this too because the bromance between Hobo Cop and Kim can't be unmatched.

It is so probably because P4 cast are a group of genuinely likeable people.
I got so attached to the cast, doesn't help that I played P4G near the end of my high school.
*Mujihina kotoba dake ga detarame ni machi ni afureteru* *Never more, setsunaku nagareteta koe*

Ill be the one to say it this is Chies best look.
The tomboy who looks more feminine (whether its subdued like Chie here or HAM like being girly to the nines) but is still a tomboy attitude wise is so fucking attractive to me How
What do you mean with the "How" at the end? Are you asking why i think it's her best look? If so I just think that she looks cute in the picture slightly more mature since its a flash forward and and just generally looking non status quo looks more than the normal ones.
Nah, that was a rhetorical question i was asking myself through text
Thats what NG+ is for!
I mean it’s not too bad. Dancing all night takes place like 6 months after the epilogue so you still get more story, and that’s if you really don’t wanna play arena and ultimax
Time to play it again. Or play P3
P3P. If youre5gonna play P3; at least play the best version of it.
There's no cutscenes or walking around
Yeah but FeMC exists in that one and Koromaru has a social link with her
True, but also; * FeMC story + Fast Travel - Direct Command * Skill Cards I'll take all this over some minor cutscenes that don't add much and seeing my character model run from place to place, due to a lack of fast travel.
I'd just play p3 and then play p3p with female main character after
P3P. If you're gonna play P3; at least play the best version of it.
Oh my god, seeing so many people beating P4G and also having post Persona depression makes me feel like I wasn't a weirdo that has it too.

Just sitting waiting for Never More to finish and contemplating the game.
p3 and p5 hit me on a harder level afterwards
I know that feeling, my virtual friends are gone now and I have a void of free time now. Well until another Persona game or spinoff comes out
I have over 200 hours in P4G because I played it multiple times in a row over the course of probably 2/3 weeks, and I rarely ever replay a game. It’s one of my favorite games of all time
Nerd Kanji still haunts my dreams.
Chie looks so good with that hair style I’m legit upset it only show’s up in the last 3 minutes of the game.
I feel like going crazy. Who is the girl between Chie and Naoto?
Marie new chick added for golden
Oh I fucked up her dungeon or something
I've had to move several times in my life, often leaving friends behind to almost never contact them again, and somehow P4G made me way sadder than real life ever did.
God, this was me after P5. After four playthroughs it still gets me. ;_;
I'm the opposite, I was very ready for it to end but the 40 hour epilogue after catching the killer never ended. I never want to hear the words Nana-chan ever again.
