I'm surprised how little of a fuss people made about the whole suicide mechanic in P3, even back in the day. You'd think it would at least as controversial as some tiddies
They thought it would make for a striking visual that reinforces the core theme of death, same with the rest of the aesthetic design in the series up to that point.
People like him are always getting upset about stories that use basic metaphor and symbolism. I'm starting to think newer generations have had the worst literacy in a long time.
Personas are a mask. They're how you present yourself to others, traits you use to overcome social situations or hardships.
Personas are the conscious actions, Shadows are the unconscious thoughts and feelings. Both of these together are the self.
Thinking?

Man P4 summonings were the lamest shit in retrospect.
Makes you wonder what 6 will be.
Given Japan's increasing trend to pandering to America, probably twerking
Some gay-ass futuristic visor lighting up with their Persona's face ala Daft Punk maybe.
I love it.
Didn't this lead to some suicides or was that just normie outrage?

Persona (and SMT) was still a niche thing at the time, otherwise it probably would have a little controversy.
It was a different time. Emo stuff was huge and suicidal ideation was at an all time high

no youre just a weeb
the game is about letting demons possess you. killing yourself is the only way to let them in
You can also see it as killing your true self to put on a mask.
Aren't personas supposed to be related to you? Why would they be a mask?

the mask you wear so make people perceive you a certain way. literally, a persona.
Go read Carl Jung.
You don't call your boss a Black person despite being a racist hence a persona.
My favourite Temperance persona, the moderate racist
Heh, not a bad technique kid. But you'll never do it better than me.
It's cool but too repetitive. Should've been only at the start of the fight and when you get crits.
Wait till you find out that they take turns hitting eachother.

Still waiting for Ronnie McNutt's Persona to emerge.
