What was the point of killing him off?
So that Ken could stop being a faggot.Not that it worked.

Le surprising death of a party member meme
RPG's do this all the time!
Okay so the theme of the game was death right?
Alright now you probably guessed where I'm going with this, but that's probably why they had a suddenly introduced and not developed a character to die off to mentally scar the group and possibly the player.
Cause like that's what death does.
>letting him die
>not playing P3P so you can save him with the power of love and pussy
>not ntr'ing him from Ken and Akihiko once he goes into his coma
Play the fucking game retards
>>338237527
/thread
>it's an akihiko starts screaming and crying episode
SERIOUSLY HOW THE FUCK DID THEY NOT HAVE THIS IN THE MOVIE
>>338237358
>see who his persona is
>attack called death bound
>using pills with a side effect of death
HMMMMM WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME GAME
he was going to die anyway from the drug usage anyway, i think
>Play Persona Q
>Ken forgives Shinji
>LOL MINDWIPE
>>338237358
To make you use up a party space to not level the permanent party members and make you spend money on equipment he would take to his grave.
>>338237758
>suddenly introduced and not developed a character
He showed up a shitload before he joined the team though
>>338238079
Gotta squeeze in more fujobait and robots dude, can't have more than one character actually finish their development arc
>>338240107
You can recover his equipment by going to his room.
>>338240786
>It even plays into some of the s-links
>SOME
Memento Mori
Everything in this game revolved around death.
>MC's parents died
>Yukari's dad died
>Junpei loses his girlfriend
>Akihiko's sister died, and he end up losing his best friend too
>Mitsuru sees her dad get shot
>Aigis is the only robot left... until later. All her sisters are gone
>Ken wants revenge on Shinji for killing his mom
>Shinji had pretty much given up on life after killing Ken's mom
>Koromaru's owner is dead too
It even plays into some of the s-links:
>Old couple is concerned with a tree their dead son planted
>Fat Moon kid got roped up into a cult after his brother died
>Sun is obvious
>Frenchie's aunt died, which leads to him learning how tough she had it to support him
>>338240107
>make you spend money on equipment he would take to his grave
If you go in Shinjiro's room after he dies, you can get his equipment back by looking in the box on his desk I think.
>>338240912
And don't forget that at the start pretty much all the SEES members are basically suicidal
>>338240891
>>338240990
>taking back what you gave to the dead.
>>338237358
To save him from suffering.
From a narrative perspective he only existed so that he could die.
>>338240904
Yeah, some. Not all
Devil, Emperor, Tower, Hermit, and others, didn't really have dying involved. You could argue a couple represent the non-literal meaning of the Death arcana, but not too many.
>>338241085
The shooting yourself in the head thing completely slipped my mind. How did I miss that one?
>>338241097
>Implying you don't do this every single day with everything you eat, drink and wear.
>>338237358
He had a hard life
>>338239974
>>Play Persona Q
this was your first mistake
>>338241184
>You could argue a couple represent the non-literal meaning of the Death arcana
>death arcana
>metamorphasis and change
That's basically every s-link in every persona.
>>338240912
How did we go from this, to Persona 4?
>>338239974
>it explains the reason for the IT team immediantly trusting the SEES team in the game prior but not knowing why
>>338241260
Why wouldn't I play the best Persona?
>>338241475
Waifus and expected sales.
Really I wonder why they make sequels like this with so much time inbetween them. It feels like a labor of love, but the writing dip was really bad.
woah spoilers OP. currently playing the game but passed that point in the story already but think of the people who got this on sale recently
>>338241184
It's classic tragedy, a group of people fighting because they have nothing to live for, with MC only dying after they realize all they things they do have
>>338241806
Yukari betrays the group and kills Mitsuru
>>338241806
Yukois best girl
>>338241806
>but think of the people who got this on sale recently
what
>>338241905
No actually aigis betrays the group, kills glasses guy, and then mitsurus dad. Probably the lowest part of the story.
>>338237358
To strengthen everyone's resolve.
>>338237358
>mfw leveled to 99 and learned Null Pierce
Should've been fucking Ken. That way we would have gotten Shinji in P4A and P4AU.
>>338237358
Not related to P3 but does anyone know what mythology P5 will be based around?

>>338245056
Given how affected everyone was by Shinji's death, I think it was probably the correct choice. The impact wouldn't be as big if the one who died was a character no one gave as hit about.
>>338248121
Would've been even better if MC himself was allowed to bond with Shinji a little.
>>338249396
Then we'd hate Ken too much.
Ken did nothing wrong
>>338251310
Besides being useless in just about the entire game and killing shinji for something he really couldn't control? I mean, his critical animation is absolutely hilarious with him spin kicking from the spear, but he only really offers Hama spells, Akihiko is overall a better Ken you get earlier.
What is the point of Koromaru? He is literally one of the most useless party members ever
>>338244382
I understand arrows doing pierce damage, but aren't bullets more blunt force?
Or am I an idiot?
>>338247535
>Well-bred and in perfect shape
She has the body of a goddess.And I bet her dick is huge too
>>338253949
Like Ken, almost a joke character, but really good natural dodge and has some Mudo skills I believe, so he isn't complete garbage, just kind of mediocre
>>338253949
mudo spells and high speed
Because Persona 3 is badly written.
>>338253949
Mudo and the only party member to have Multi-target Agi Skills. with Fire Boost also.
>>338251310
Ken was almost good.
>Ken
HE'S BAAAAAACK
>>338251310
Ken is cute cute cute!
Why couldnt they just use a dusk plume to save him? All you would have to do is crack open a spare Evoker unit and use the internal DP to heal him.Or scrap Mitsuru's bike. A few personal sacrifices can be made for the sake of saving a comrade, right?
>>338255516
>D-Dog
>Furry Ken
>>338256597
>Dusk Plume
Apologies if I somehow sound like a ignorant fuck, but what?

I had no idea what he was talking about either, so I googled.
