  • Wait no! He didn't die did he? I remember that they gathered after they sorta forgot their memories?? oO My ending was me with Aigis at the top of the school roof... DAMN!! How I wish persona 3 can happen in real life to me!! T^T

  • @LiarAkiyama He definitely dies. The FES version of the game confirms that

  • From the beginning I knew Minato was gonna die, gut feeling, what I didn't know was how...That ending...

  • I spent months playing at the end of the game to level up everyone to level 99, and get the ultimate weapons and armors. but the true is, I didn't wanted the game to end.

  • You're feeling sleepy...

    .

    Close your eyes

  • Im gonna play this on 12/22/12.

  • @geocross237 That's my birthday :D

  • This game is amazing, this song is amazing, it's too bad that ignorant people comment here and spoiled the entire fucking game for me though, still, great song. </3

  • @ItsAzureBlue

    Yeah,I know right?

    I regret looking stuff up about P3,it ruined my experience playing it. Its a great game nonetheless but god,if I didn't,I can't even imagine my reaction to the ending. >:

  • whoa whoa whoa Kingdom hearts? this is Persona ! Sora cant match to Minato !

  • @neoneo23 Lol, Sora vs Thanatos? Sora's gonna need a better weapon....

  • I recently finished this game and I gotta say that it's got me big into the Persona series. =)

  • Omg I playd the PSP version and you don't see the cutscenes so I honestly thought my character just went to sleep Dx

    Then my friend who finished is told me that he actually dies and I got so annoyed and depressed....

    I still love this game cuz it's the first ever game where the person you work so hard to level up dies in the end! It's so rare!!!

  • @SonNuriko well i thought he just fell asleep too! I was listening to this feeling all happy until i bought P3:FES. you really don't find out he actually died unless you play Persona 3 FES:The Answer, which, btw, is set on a high diffculty setting automatically Xl

  • @Sasorislovery Wasn't that fight with Mitsuru and Yukari a pain?

  • this ending theme is among the best ever created.

  • "Thou art I, and I am thou."

    Think this only applies to the Persona?

    Nope.

    The same holds true for Minato Arisato and yourself, the player.

    He is your avatar in the world of P3.

    Its the reason why its so easy to get attached to him.

    Hell, it holds true for tons of SMT protagonists in the various games.

    I am never gonna forget this game, its the one game where I felt that my choices truly affected others, the immersion was brilliant.

    I truly felt I would have done the same as Minato at the end

  • aghhhh the tears ;_____;

  • I'm a pure gamer , ya know : GTA , NFS , FPS's ... Hardcore sh*t , I never thaught in my life that i will play RPG's , but then i tried P3 Portable on PSP , it had changed my fucking life , i never cried in my life for a game before but DAMN .

  • @33Nitrous

    That's because you're gay.

    I mean, "YO YO I'M A PURE GAMER NIGGA, I PLAY HARDCORE STUFF LIKE MODERN WARFWARE AND ALL, AIGHT", what the fuck is that?

  • @DuncamLeBrave First of all , i don't play modern warfare , i'm just expresing my choice of video games , got a problem with that ?

  • @33Nitrous i play the modern warfare series out of boredom just cuz they didnt make any persona games in long time. But kingdom hearts is good too.

  • @AnUnwillingZebra I playedKingdom of hearts too it was not bas at all but Personna is better

  • @33Nitrous I've been a Kingdom Hearts fan forever, and yet I agree with you! :D

  • @DuncamLeBrave lol i only play Call of duty out of boredom and because my friends play it cause they didn't release any persona games in a long time and they are releasing kingdom hearts games i dont even have the system for lol.

  • is the download free?

  • Why titles with number "3" are so great?

  • @metalslugfreak15 Usually because 3 is the last and they want to make it as good as possible, but in Persona's case, it's always awesome. The 3 is just coincidental.

  • @metalslugfreak15 HUM HUM, Final Fantasy III is one of the WORST GAME EVER, you know.

  • I don't know, but I think making Minato die is part of what makes 3 so good. It's bittersweet, and not many stories tend to kill off the protagonist... that's part of what makes Persona 3 one of the best RPG's, if not the best.

  • The game sucks you in to their world XD and then you die and it makes it even sadder ;-;

    I loved this game and it has amazing soundtracks ><

  • to bad minato had to die

  • いい!

    

  • I finished P3P and I absolutely loved it! It's a shame that it doesn't include The Answer :(

  • muchas gracias! la estaba buscando

  • I know ppl r tired of me saying this but ah...THIS THE BEST GAME EVER.who else agrees?

  • 15 people never beat persona 3

  • I my the only one who heard Minato as suzaku from code geass?

  • @JupiterQuest yes

  • @JupiterQuest Same voice actor - Yuri Lowenthal. Oddly enough, the voice actor for the Protagonist in Persona 4 has Lelouch's voice actor, as does Adachi from the same game - Johnny Yong Bosch.

  • After finishing this game for the first time, well, i got depressed for more than a week. No other game ever made me cry before. Such an emotional feeling, so mature and deep, indeed a masterpiece.

  • Comment removed

  • every memories song have the same note but different tempo so it's must be that everyone feel the same thing while the protagonist gone but they show different in the memories of them with protagonist

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

  • I fell in love....

  • They'll probably make him come back later in one of the series. As shown on P4 they're started ''Cleansing'' The darkness in people's hearts, the wish for everything to end, which is what keeps Minato locking the door to Nyx. Either way Elizabeth left the velvet room to find a way to bring Minato back so who knows, maybe someday she'll find it and we'll see Minato alive again.

  • Damn it dude. I just beat the game today. Love that game. And the Top comment with 124 Thumbs up deserves every single one of them dude! It pretty much sums up all we thought ya?

  • So beautiful. <3

  • I think that a person can only truly understand this song once they've lost a loved one. Its lyrics are pretty much perfect.

  • nice song, luv it :-D

    

  • why he must die? leave yukari behind T_T

    

  • I have to say im surprised you found such a high quality sound track of this song. you get mad points for this :D

  • Lol I think they do this to us on purpose but its incredible that they made us care as much as we all did for the main Character the only time that I felt even slightlty the same again was wen I thought Nanako was dead

  • I felt this.. empty void inside of me when I finished the game. I held back the urge to grab my tv and throw the controller at it because I wanted to know whether or not he died or was just sleeping.. It's pretty messed up to go through all that crap and have him die! >:c

  • @R41LGUN lol I think we all felt that

  • @R41LGUN You know, there are rumors that he's going to come back.

  • @brandedelemental Really? :D

  • @R41LGUN * 3:FES & 4 SPOILER*

    Yes. In 4 (2 years after FES) Margaret says that her sister Elizabeth is trying to bring the MC back. Several Persona Team members have mentioned her return in 5 (weither she important or just a cameo). Also, several Atlus staff had said that there is a good chance that the MC will return. Theirs also several rumors (although I doubt their true) that he'll be in the new 3 & 4 crossover game that'll be out next spring.

  • @brandedelemental you mean that rumoured Persona 4 brawl game? O_o If so that would be awkward...I mean like brawling against a shadow is one thing, brawling against your own persona is just weird

  • @ongzhiyang Yep. There's rumors he'll be in it, although I don't know how creditable they are. There is however good evidence from Persona Team, that he'll be in or at least mentioned as a part of the main plot.

  • when i heard this song after the final stage and seeing all the scenes we've bean through :)) i cried XD

  • Over 1461 shadows liked this ending.......

  • Comment removed

  • It doesn't make sense for everyone to be so bummed out by Minato's death. I mean, he had NO personality at all, yet nobody seemed to give shit when Shinjiro died, and he had tons of personality. (OK, he was kind of a stereotype, and a bit of a douche, but still...)

    So why then? Why did we all try so hard to hold back our manly tears as Minato died? I have no idea, yet I still felt so bummed out by the ending of this game.

  • @dobadobadooo You obviously don't understand that the game gave you choices to lead through what his personality would be like. Atlus left it up to you to make out his personality.

  • The thing that I think made this game reach our hearts is that while you play as Minato, we kinda became a part of him as we saw him grow. He slowly became a part of us so that is why when he died it was so epically sad... When we first play this game we're getting used to the controls and the battles so we didnt think much of the character other than that he's a silent-type. At the end of the game however he became a part of us.

    Persona 3 is definitely one of the best games in the world. <3

  • @XxMerunxX it wasnt just the protagonist. it was the other characters as well, they were emotional, the producers showed you clips of their lives without you around, giving them flesh and personalities. one example? Yukari.most think she's bitchy. to me? she was a normal girl that can relate to, stuck in a abnormal situation. but thats the point, the conflicting opinions show how the characters affected us.. P4 was good but it never managed to reach the same heights of emotions.

  • @XxMerunxX I still consider P3 my favorite game!

  • @XxMerunxX You really feel like a little part of you dies when Minato/Minako closes his/her eyes.

  • what if some of the main events of Persona 5 take place in December of 2012? that would be pretty awesome. :)

  • this music is so fucking good.

  • one of the most amazing game and story I've ever played. P3P <3 Aegis is an angel.

  • Don't Worry Guys because of MC Nyx can't return in 2012! no cries now xD

  • They should make an anime series about what will happen to aigis,mitsuru etc. (not akihiko he's in trinity soul).

  • Comparing this song to "Never More", I am more attached to this song and the game than Persona 4. The game was awesome and like Jingle041 this game left me crying. I felt a personal attachment to it, hard to let go so I decided to play it again and again and again LOL. Great game this is :)

  • @JaeLionHeart Yeah :P But I don't want Minato to come back. Or Hamuko. It'd be dishounering the character, especially after they basically sealed away the personafricitation of death itself, and then everyone realises that they did it for fuck all.

  • Aigis, Mitsuru, and Akihiko are going to be persona 4 the ultimate in mayonaka arena (fighting game)

    YEEEEEEEESSSSSS

  • Kimi no Kioku or Brand New Days? Personally I preffer Brand New Days a tiny bit more

  • P3 is basically everything to me. It changed my life perspective; I never look at the moon or life the same anymore

  • Manly tears shed.

    Also don't know about anybody else but does anybody think it was intended for people to get the bad ending first? I mean this song sounds an awful lot like memories of the city and it made me think that the bad ending was kind of like an intro to the last month of the game Because the first thing you hear right after starting that path is memories of the city.

  • after i beat the game i was like NOOOOO

    I WANT MORE STORY!!!!...

    awwww.... really emotive game

  • I remember finishing this game 3:30 am in the morning. It was worth it :)

  • Best game ever btw

  • I feel happy listening to this

  • Its strange.. i beat it.. its finally over.. but it makes me so sad!

  • im not going to lie i cried after beating this game D: ima miss shooting myself in the head to fight nyx D:

  • The soundtrack was the whole reason I was interested in playing Persona 3. Everything else about the game was a pleasant surprise :)

  • @sapnyosentry Lunar Dragon....

  • I swear this ending while way sadder than P4's ending, I cried in both. If they make a Persona 5, just if there is a possibility, then I hope they be nice to everyone and give him a happy ending, instead of one where he dies like that or gets sent away from his friend and loved ones.

  • The only game I cried in was P3.

  • when this song shown up in my game ( persona 3 ) i thought positively like....... "ahahah dont tell me it end.... hahaha impossible" guess what it end

    SHIT!!!!!!!

  • The best song I've ever heard, I cried inside when beating Persona 3. Memories like that are going to stay forever, even if they're not real.

    Persona >>>>> Everything.

  • such an epic game with an incredible song for the credits. P3 and its remakes will be top on my list for games forever

  • There is one VERY negative aspect of playing Persona 3.........

    it pretty much killed the PS2 for good :P

    every single other game in the PS2 is such a piece of shit compared to this one, its so good you literally wont ever feel the same way about videogames again. No other protagonist will be as compelling, no other sad moment will be sadder, no other soundtrack will be more awesome.......

    nada.

  • @Shakduhn

    True, but I think it's the characters that made it so amazing. But Persona lacks in gameplay, there's nothing wrong with it but there's nothing great about the battles. OST is good. And I'd say Metal Gear Solid is a close contender. Also thought Xenosaga Episode 3 was really close. The "such a piece of shit" was unnecessary.

  • @Safros9 well, I may admit "piece of shit" could had been a slight exaggeration but my point remains :P after playing P3 and P4, every other game in the PS2 will simply feel lacking.

  • @Shakduhn sorry but P4 isnt on P3's level and thats not even arguable. the only reason P3 doesnt have an anime and a lot else is because of a small detail (headshots lol)

  • @BloodyFingersify Which could easily be replaced with tarot card if they really were scared of that, even if fans bitched. The Evokers were never that important and no other Persona user in the series has ever needed them outside of the Users from Persona 3 (probably because they weren't directly aided by Phil or Izanami)..

  • @LeonGun8 nah it couldnt be replaced. suicide is the selling-point of p3

  • @Shakduhn

    .. gee. Broaden your horizons. The games are amazing (Mainly 3), but I don't find other games to be lacking in comparison. Persona was lacking in gameplay and graphics. Try Shadow of the Colossus.

  • @Shakduhn I humbly submit ICO and Shadows of the Colossus for your kind consideration.

  • @Jingle041 *crys on your shoulder*

  • @LeoFauston Just because the fog "in humanity's heart" has been lifted doesn't mean that Erebus no longer exists. I'm pretty sure what was meant by that was that Izanami has stopped interfering with humanity, and thus the feelings of humanity. Humanity will never be completely free of grief or hatred, pretty sure that's impossible feat. And considering this is SMT/Persona, I doubt they'd make everyone all happy and lovey-dovey just because some fog and some god is gone now.

  • @Arashile In a way, Persona and SMT in general adopts a Lovecraftian approach. Every victory is but a temporary setback for the bad guys, in this case Mankind is its own worst enemy.

  • @LeoFauston But then Nyx'd be free again and summon The Fall again. Though, I guess her avatar/harbringer was killed, so she can't really do much.

  • @Jingle041 Nyx's avatar was never killed. It's impossible to kill him/it.

  • I was so sad when I watched the end of this one guys Let's play (I kind of ignore his comments) and I cried so much... and I haven't cried that much for a long time it was just emotional to me(All though I didn't cry during from the beginning of the battle to before Minato died...)

  • @8lonerscreamogirl8 What's sadder is when you get the bad ending, hear this song. Replay from before the bad ending to get the good ending and hear memories of the city play which sounds like a no lyrics version of this whenever you leave the dorm and go around the town. Then hear this once you've beat the game. Put it simple the last 3-5 hours of this game kicked ass becuase it was sad and indicated what was going on through changing the music.

  • I'll miss minato, but hopefully atlus will make persona 5 equally as great

  • here comes the depression....

  • Geez.. I cried for hours after I beat this game. Seriously. Goodbye, every, single, meer shred of manlieness.. which I, sorta, never had XD. No, but, seriously, this left me in a state of crying, eating waffles, and quietly flipping through the TV channels for atleast a week.

    Fuck you, Great game.

    Fuck you, Atlus.

    Fuck you, Imbombrue Sensei Persona.

    And, last but-not-least, fuck you Minato - for being one of the best video-gaming protagonits, ever. You will always be in our hearts.......

  • @Jingle041 the thing is this is a character thats easy to get attached to, because you literally BECOME them, its like he is YOUR persona... i didnt play any other games until i figured out his true fate in the answer... he became greater than human.

  • @JHUB3R atlus did a great job with minato. In other games where theres a silent protag(fallout,oblivion) theres no connection cuz he only does wat u make him do. But in Minatos case he has a set character design and does things beyond your control. So its like "i didnt save the world, minato did." I just helped him along his journey

  • @admiralrandom Atlus art style is like none other... its always top notch.

  • @admiralrandom so true dude. im hoping they'll make a persona 3 anime after theyre done the persona 4 one

  • @admiralrandom They did. -Trinity Soul-. It's a loosely connected anime. But it does take place in the Persona universe and followed the events of P3. You can usually find a dubbed version on an anime-site or soemthing.

  • @Jingle041 yea but i heard it sucked i want them to do a straight up retelling like theyre currently doing with the p4 anime

  • @admiralrandom Well, personally, I though it was OK. It's a mixed-opinion thing. It features very little original characters from P3, but it's ment to explain the impact destroying the Dark Hour. Seriously. Try it out. It's not good, but not bad. That's for you to decide.

  • @Jingle041

    I cried because of the valor of the sacrifice Minato made. He died to save his friends, his loved ones, the world... And in the FES version, in The Answer, we learn he died for fuck all, just to keep humans from touching Nyx, not to kill Nyx. I bawled when I learned that, because such a large sacrifice, dying for what you think is the salvation of the human race, but to die in vein, for nothing... Oh god... The memories...

    *Runs to other room to cry uncontrollably*

  • @TheK12314 hy didnt die in vein he became the great seal to keep peoples calls for death from reaching nyx because they all find out you can kill nyx so instead of sealing nyx he basically became a barrier between the world and nyx so really he did bring salvation :D

  • @TheK12314 I cried because it mostly reminded me of my own life, staring death square in the face, nowhere to go... At the age of 10, this question popped into my head: what's death like? It changed my life and my perspective of this game forever...

  • @Jingle041

    Ah, I see. I had a similar experience. When I was 9, I almost drowned, and my life was flashing before my eyes, and when I came to, I was wondering what it would be like to die. Whenever I hear about death now, I end up dwelling on it for a while, and getting REALLY fucking depressed. GOD DAMN YOU PERSONA 3 WITH YOUR GENERAL EPICNESS DRIVING ME TO DEPRESSION.

  • @Jingle041 Waffles...... :3

  • @Jingle041

    fuck you jingle041 , because you're right ;) *trollface*

  • @Jingle041 A-freaking-men brother. You weren't the only one. I actually denied his death at first. ;_;

  • this brings me back to my day of playing PS2 with my friends all te hour we play laughing enjoying game there stories they had to tell us-sighs- now a days everything is about graphic trophys and that danm call of duty danm i miss those day but i was glad my last run with my PS2 was P4 i love the persona games np the megaten series in general

  • Comment removed

  • Note: if you read the translated lyrics it can make you cry!

  • kkkk Ele é meio sem personalidade mais ele é um cara bom tanto que no final ele salvou geral XD

  • Simplesmente Um personagem que me descreve Minato com o passar do tento ele deixou de ser um personagem e começou a ser um estilo de vida andar com a mão no bolso sempre proteger pessoas que pra você são especiais.Minato me encinou muita coisa agradeço a ele e espero que ele volte! É só ter fé galera ele voltará XD

  • @Clifhe Que? Ta brincando, né? De todos os personagens do jogo ele é o único que - propositalmente - não tem personalidade alguma! Como pode se espelhar em algo assim?

    É até meio rediculo se pensarmos que todos se abrem com ele, e ele não diz.. Erm, nada. Não retribui. São relações de vias únicas.

  • I swear to god the first time i beat this game on my PSP i had no idea that i (the main character) died at the end. I was like ok I'm just gonna rest for a bit. After found about P3 Fes I was sooooooooooooooooooo f**king sad!!! why did "I" have to die? T.T

  • @ninhquanghieu exactly like me except you're probably a guy and i'm a girl playing as the guy and i cried for almost a week but i then realise he died to protect billions of people maybe it's just me but after i finished watching a LP of the answer and i lied crying in bed i heard a voice in my head saying "Don't cry, it's okay, i'll protect you." you probably think i'm crazy but Minato will always have a place in my heart, whether he's real or not.

  • Thank you for the beautiful song!

  • my friend told me this was his favorite song. now i think he may be gay... O_O

  • @MonsterHighFilms1 by this reasoning, i think you are bisexual. Nothing wrong with loving the chick singing japanese, the saxaphone, and the guitar,and the drums.

  • @MonsterHighFilms1 Wow. You... are despicable. What's wrong with liking a GOOD song for a GOOD reason from a GOOD game?

  • @Jingle041 obviously, he is reatard

  • damn whenever i hear this song i get emotional :3

  • how addicted i am.... first i played persona portable then played the female character then played persona 3 fes in ps2 then the answer :3

  • I cried like a little bitch all throughout the ending to this game.

  • @cookiemewmew I had to shed a tear too, although I usually don't get too emotional during games' endings...shows how great P3 is.

  • @cookiemewmew my first time beating it, i couldn't stop crying during the credits and the last part of the ending. XD i never get emotional at a game but i couldn't help it. it took me MONTHS to beat the game XD

  • You Just Wasted 0 Minutes Of My life :D

  • @99Bobson and 0 seconds.

  • Grrr, i really wish I still had my PS2 . . . I love this game and wish that I could have gotten Persona 4 . . .

    And Personally I think Sony shot themselves in the foot by not making the PS3 backwards-compatible . . . . Cause these 2 games are amazing and there are dozens more of PS2 titles that blow anything today out of the waters

  • @DJKasres The PS3 is backwards-compatible, it depends which model you have. If you have the new slim ones, none of those are backwards-compatible and some of the old thick models are. An easy way to tell if its backwards compatible is if its a thick PS3 with 4 USB ports. The 60 gig is better than the 80 gig if you're going for backwards-compatibility.

  • @mgsrokz I don't trust Backwards-Compatibility

    I really like the PS2 so much more, Meh

  • @DJKasres You're right. PS2 was the best. PS3's games just don't have the same feeling anymore.

  • @watarimono17 Give em' time. Maybe Atlus will save it.

  • I'll have my brother to thank for giving me the greatest JRPG ever a few years ago!

  • this song makes me want to go to the past and tell her i love her so much

  • It wouldnt hurt to remake the game by adding enough shadow bosses for the 22 major arcana. At the same time make it longer while adding a hard ass dungeon that rewards one with a better ending.

    I wish Minato entered a coma. So the Kirijo group keeps him preserved until they come up with a way to heal him. When they do fix him its been several years so everyone he knew has passed away. But has a new threat to humanity to deal with.

  • @TheDragnorok That would just be lame.

    A good plot needs sacrifices.

  • Best ending Theme ever!!!!!

  • i bought this game in eng version in 2007 4 80 bucks from ebay up until now the disk is never broken and it's still played by me and my sis

  • i dumped about 100 some hours into this game, don't regret a single second of it either

  • I was so pissed Minato died...he was a good person, it wasn't even poetic. But he died for the greater good I guess

  • I will never,EVER surpass Minato's death. N!E!V!E!R!!!NEVER!

  • Hahaha,I won,I only payed five dollars!

  • "Nothing is outside the realm of possibility for you now"

    favourite quote how is Minato so badass

  • @Templar1315 im satisfied for 80 buck 4 diz game coz all over my city didnt sell ENG/JAP version of this game

  • @bayu750 So?

  • I <3 you, persona...

  • why do i cry everytime i listen to this?

  • 4:16

    Because you protected this ephemerally floating world by your own hand

    Now simply fold your wings and sleep restfully

    Be wrapped up in an eternal tranquility, and love through all eternity

    Sleep, by this hand of mine that gently watches over you

    I remember you laughing, you crying, you angry

    I will never forget for all time until my life is exhausted
