Dunno why, but doing a badass stunt to smash a card like glass with a blue aura surrounding you just seems more fulfilling then shooting yourself in the head; Not that it's a worse option.
@Cloymax Not specifically. The MC being someone faceless is something commonly used in games in order to have the player feel more or less like it's them. Besides, Bioware games have just been going down in terms of quality lately. Though, I'll admit being able to make your own Persona MC would be bitchin'.
@Cloymax That's actually a little funny because I can't really get into the MC being yourself thing in FPS games. In regular First Person RPGs, I can. But not FPS.
@Parkinstark Well, that depends on the person I guess. It's really easy to feel when the character is silent (Gordon Freeman, Master Chief etc.), but when I have choices, I can't feel the character as me, especially when I see through a camera and not the MCs eyes.
Fallout worked well for me in that way though, there's so many ways to do things.
@Cloymax Perhaps. But with games like Halo, you don't really have a choice in ANYTHING you do. I guess it's easier to insert yourself in games like Persona 4 because you can choose to use your name instead of a generalized protagonist.
Fallout works well with that because that's pretty much what it was made to do. The same thing with the Elder Scrolls games. (Fuck yeah, Skyrim's coming out soon.)
@ShadowBeckwith After reading your comment, i tried it for the first time. I timed it perfectly, finishing speaking just as the lead up music stopped.
I think Souji's badassery (if thats even a word) is enhanced by the absolutely amazing and blood-pumping music that plays in the background while Izanagi awakens. Plus, no offense to Thanatos or Orpheus fans, but I like Izanagi and Izanagi no Okami better.
@wdbisl Its for immersion apparently. The feeling is kind of ruined when they say persona at the beginning when they first get their persona and they SPEAK IN BATTLE. Kind of ruins the whole "immersion" thing
Persona awakenings are so hot blooded. I had those tingly feelings down my back (you know, when something is extremely awesome?) when I first saw P3's protagonist awaken to his Persona. So badass.
@Cloymax He didn't know beyond a shadow of a doubt. t was a hunch, because he'd never see it done. I say he's crazy. I love him regardless though. lol
@FenrirsDarkSeal Pharos is pretty much inside the MC, he could influence him easily. He also transformed Orpheus to Thanatos, why wouldn't he influence the MC to shoot himself?
I've always wondered....how much did Johnny Young Bosch get paid for this game? He made a couple of grunting noises, yells "Persona", and every single summon name
I wonder how people are going to evoke Personas in Persona 5. A shout-out, shooting in the head, smashing a card... What next? O.O
