Hey everybody. Hope you are all doing okay and staying cool during the summer heat. This week I finished my playthrough of the Persona 3 remake. Overall, I enjoyed the game and cast of characters. Unlike Persona 5 (my only prior experience with the series), I liked the life sim stuff over the dunegon crawling, mainly due to Tartarus being very repeatative with sparse enemy variety. I ended up 4 ranks short of maxing out all Social Links, which really irritated me. My one really big gripe is that

I really didn't like that the protagonist dies at the very end. I perfectly understand that it fits the themes of the game about life being fleeting, so you better spend it with the people you love, and the ultimate Persona you can fuse is Messiah, who gave his life to save mankind the way the protagonist does, but it really bummed me out. I guess since ive only played Persona 5 that my expectations were aligned with that game's rather cheery "Its not goodbye, its see you later" ending

Anyway, I am doing a NG+ run to max out all social links. Besides P3, my brother has returned from his vacation, and we have resumed our playthrough of Elden Ring seamless coop. We are nearing the end of the base game, but I am planning on forcing him to buy the DLC to play when we are done with that. I hope everyone has a good week

Been playing Darktide. Was taking a break but the Skitarii DLC persuaded me to jump right back in since I love the toaster boys.

Yeah, I feel that. Unless you use a guide and follow it to the letter, it's practically impossible to get all ranks on the first go, especially with stat checks. Sure that's one of the benefits of NG+, but it sucks if you don't have the time or desire to replay an 80+ hour game.

W/R/T the ending, I started with Persona 4 so it did feel like a gutpunch when I got it. But I think it was an overall nice arc for an otherwise "blank" MC. Believe it or not, Persona 2's story is arguably bleaker.

I think the major error i made was that I didn't know there was copious amounts of non school/exam week days where all the school related social links are unavailable, so early game I wasted school time slots on the old couple, the girl at the shrine, and the gourmet king when there are plenty of days late game when you can finish them. On my NG+ run ive been making sure in the early game to only do school related links
