Persona 3 Volume 1

Product Information

On New Year's Eve, the player must decide whether to kill Ryoji or spare his life. If the protagonist kills him, the game cuts to Graduation Day, as the members of SEES (barring Aigis) lose their memories of the Dark Hour and the Shadows and live in blissful ignorance until Nyx inevitably brings about The Fall and all of humanity dies. If he is spared, on January 31, SEES ascends to the roof of Tartarus to face Ryoji, who has transformed into the Nyx Avatar. [28] While they defeat Nyx Avatar, Nyx continues to descend to Earth. The protagonist awakens the power of the "Universe", allowing him to seal away Nyx from humanity and return the world to normal. [29] On Graduation Day, the protagonist and Aigis go to the school's roof, where Aigis thanks the protagonist for giving her a purpose in life: protecting him. [30] The protagonist, who has been feeling tired and unwell, then closes his eyes. Vol.2 -Moonlight-" (in Japanese). Frontier Works. Archived from the original on July 24, 2011 .

The feelings that gave birth to this abomination were inside me as well. Because I couldn't accept reality, I foolishly sought solace in a past filled with death and strife. There's no mistaking it: this monster is the reason for all our troubles. / Akihiko: You got that right. If we run away from this, we're off to a lousy start for our future. / Ken: That's what I think too... This was already a battle against myself. The localization of Persona 3 was handled by Yu Namba and Nich Maragos. During this process, the team worked to leave as much of the original Japanese content intact, continuing a trend started with Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. One of the ideas had by the team for Persona 3 was to use it as a medium for introducing Japanese culture to a western audience. [58] [59] While localizing Persona 3 for English-speaking countries, the honorifics used by the characters in the original Japanese script were retained. According to Maragos, their use "[added] so much more meaning to the text". [57] In an interview with RPGamer, project editor Yu Namba explained that during the process of translation, some of the Japanese humor, "things that made absolutely no sense in western culture…were replaced with jokes that at least somewhat parallel the originals." [60] One of the changes that needed to be made was to the school tests, which were based around questions on the English language. A similar change was Mitsuru's second language: in the original version it was English, but for the localized version her second language was changed to French. This choice was influenced by her cultured appearance. In addition, in-game references to the original Shin Megami Tensei were altered to references to Persona 2. [58] [59] Music [ edit ]

In Persona 3, the player takes the role of a high-school student who joins the "Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad" (SEES), a group of students investigating a temporal anomaly known as the "Dark Hour". During the Dark Hour, members of SEES are able to enter Tartarus, a vast tower containing monstrous creatures known as Shadows. Members of SEES battle the Shadows with a physical manifestation of their psyche known as a Persona, which they summon by firing a gun-like object called an "Evoker" at their head. In addition to these role-playing game elements, Persona 3 includes elements of simulation games, as the game's protagonist progresses day by day through a school year and forms relationships that improve the strength of their Personas in battle. a b c Juba, Joe.

Throughout the game, Chidori develops feelings and an affection towards Junpei. She always healed and revived the flowers he gave her when she was in the hospital to make them healthy and in the exchange she gets injured on her hand. Chidori self-mutilates, once taking a box cutter to her wrists, which greatly upsets Junpei and he tries to talk her out of it. When Chidori is hospitalized, the hospital staff are warned to remove all sharp objects in her hospital room. Her selflessness and love towards Junpei shows when she sacrifices her life to save a dying Junpei.
