Your Unforgettable Moment in Persona 3? (*SPOILERS*)

[Animus_19]

What is your unforgettable moment in the storyline or gameplay or boss fights of Persona 3? You can choose from the The Journey (Episode Yourself)or The Answer (Episode Aigis). I know it's hard to pick one, but you do not really need to choose your most unforgettable memory that you will always remember for the rest of your entire life. :D

Here's mine: When you get caught in the hotsprings, Mitsuru orders your EXECUTION! :cry:

[Saishu]

My game, the regular P3, freezes during the Summer Vacation after you meet the Beautiful Woman(?). I hope that doesn't happen to my friend who I lent the game to.

I had fun with the game but that's the only thing that comes to mind right now.

Oh I know now, the fact that Hulk Hogan is an enemy! And those funny invisible eyeball dudes that scream at you.

I hope that game freeze does not mean you haven't finish Persona 3. :cry:

Let me just assume you did finish it. :)

Anyway, I am also shocked with Hulk Hogan look-alike and eyeballs. I think I had nightmares about the eyeballs. :lol:

[Saishu]

Nah, I finished it. The original P3 had some freezing issues though.

I like the eyeball guys. I laughed when I saw them knocked down. The enemy encounters are what I remember most from the game. In The Answer, my Aigis would always land a critical hit on the giant Phantom enemies, so they would always pass out after taking a shot to the crotch :P

I was really caught off guard by eyeballs! I was not laughing! I was like surprised that they were flying heads! They reminded me of actual Malaysian folklore of vampire heads called Penanggal (I'm not sure about my spelling). :shock:

Anyway, for the enemy encounters, I laugh at the tables. They are adorable when they are flat and knocked down! :D

Ah yes, the Penanggal. It's those flying heads with organs attached to it, eh? Missing a few limbs, I must say. Hm, but for some reason, those eyeballs reminded me of Rangda, in a way.

I'd remember my social link with Mitsuru. Here's what happened:

It's that part where her fiance suddenly appeared and was trying to drag Mitsuru away, but she retaliated and yelled at him. I'm just there staring at the two, and laughing. But at the same time, I felt really proud and cool being the only one that's calm at that moment. XD It's somewhere around that part, I think. The date by the Island Station thingie.

Question@Animus_19: Malaysian?

Fighting the Lover Arcana guardian on the 110th floor of Tartarus with just my main MC and getting charmed most of the time. XD

Here's mine: When you get caught in the hotsprings, Mitsuru orders your EXECUTION! :cry:

Lol, yeah. I loved that part. It didn't even matter that I got caught, because I couldn't stop laughing. I didn't even bother to reload it.

My most memorable moment was when I took out the 2nd last floor boss in Tartarus by myself. I had abaddon, and he was immune to all physical dmg, except strike(though he did become immune to that too eventually). Everyone else would die quickly if I had them in my party, and I think I actually did have Yukari, Junpei and Ken in my party when I finally defeated those shadows. They were only in for a couple of turns at most though. It took a while, because I couldn't do much dmg to them, and neither would reflecting back dmg, except when I reflected primal force back at them, but it was one of the easiest boss fights in the game.

And after, I was standing on the bodies of my comrades while it said that my bond with them grew. It was the most hilarious thing. And I actually used Yukari, Mitsuru and Aigis for the fight before that, and the fight after that, so I decided that they would be my party to take to the end. Everyone was even in terms of lvl at that point, because that's how I play rpgs, but I decided to let the others slip off after that. My party might have been a bit sexist, but it was practical.

Also, when Jin threw a grenade at Mitsuru, and she was lvl 92 at the time. It did hardly any dmg, she just fell down and said she let her guard down. It was the most pathetic thing ever. Jin sucks. So does Takaya.

[JMAN]

I liked all the students trips, like "Operation Flirt" on the beach, stuff like that.

[V0LK0V]

/me sighs.

Akinari's final bit of plot after Nyx.

/me cried.

[alex azukari]

i say my memorable part is in the answer when they get to the door that goes to the mall, and aigis says, 'a door....' i totaly burst out laughing and said, "WELL NO DUH!" it was just the way her voice sounded as she said that that got me, lol good times

[Paean]

After Nyx? Akinari? As in, the one with the Sun Arcana?

[V0LK0V]

Yarp.

[Animus_19]

I just wish there were more mini-games, but the student trips were really a break from the serious stuff in Persona 3.

[sushigrlOOk]

When you found out Shuji Ikutsuki is a big fat LIAR! him and his puns.

[Raidou11]

Old topic revived?

I guess mine would be when Minato dies..

It is hinted that at the end of P4 that Elizabeth is going to find a way to revive Minato, which is strange. Considering that Minato used himself as a great seal to seal away Erebus and that Erebus was eliminated by Aigis in the Answer, wouldn't the seal break because it is no longer needed? And thus, Minato is revived.
^^

There would then be one of the 3 possibilities: a Persona 4 expansion, Persona 5, or even more possibly a Persona spinoff, since spinoff games are now quite popular these days.

[raum215]

When I lost Shinji :(

He was endgame material before the middle of the game.

[Einherjar]

Probably the part where I lived for a minute under charm with only like starting 20% hp left. I had a spirit bracer but still..
The suspense killed me.

[Kyo Kusanagi]

When the "Main Character" smiles and finally dies. Too sad, but definitely the best moment of the game.

[Las Lobos]

Fighting the Lover Arcana guardian on the 110th floor of Tartarus with just my main MC and getting charmed most of the time. XD
hahaha yeah that one was funny

When Shinji died :'(

[Pibbman]

Fighting the Lover Arcana guardian on the 110th floor of Tartarus with just my main MC and getting charmed most of the time. XD

that's probably like one of the most famous bosses in the Persona series. I remember many people stating their hate of that boss lol. Even walkthroughs show their hate towards the famous "Natural Dancer".

In matter of fact, that's my next boss I'm up against in my P3 playthrough right now. Except this time I'm smart and got 3 Narcissus flowers, sadly I can't afford the fourth one yet.

Honestly I was hoping for a boss of that type in P4, but sadly I didn't find one.

[unknown]

When the "Main Character" smiles and finally dies. Too sad, but definitely the best moment of the game.

Definitely the most memorable moment of the game for me, to protect the strong bonds that he forged and the future, P3 MC paid the ultimate price ;_;

The only Persona MC to die.

Shinijiro's death was memorable too, but not too much as the MC death.

[Auden]

for me it would have to be the baths on the school trip. i remember reloading 2 times and finally managing to escape, the guys reactions to the girls when not found out were hillariuos XD

"mitsuru is going to... EXECUTE us!!"

lol

[septembervirgin]

Not much of Persona 3 was a great experience for me, in all the computer games I've played, but I did like meeting Strega. I had hoped that Strega would be found as a huge organization instead of a small gang, which would have made the game double its existing size. However, they were somewhat interesting and should have been met en masse as opponents.

Of course I imagined that the force behind Strega was none other but a protagonist from another Shin Megami Tensei game outside the Persona series. If anyone does recall, some of the protagonists have been a bit less than moral and often self-serving.

haha yeah, the hot spring scene was funny, but it sucks that when you do get caught Mitsuru doesn't do anything. I was expecting kinky pink, fluffy handcuffs some female lingerie wearing, but I guess that's asking to much.


@unknown: I like that fan art in your sig

[x_revenge]

i think the most memorable experience for me was when you unlock the world arcana, and go to "seal" nyx's behind once and for all, it always did a 9999 damage attack when the HP cap is 999, but you always survived, getting help from your precious friends, healing your wounds and strengthening your resolve until you unleash the ultimate attack, an attack that could "defeat" nyx, let's not forget that nyx was supposed to be the incarnation of Death itself, too, in the end, the main character sacrifices his life to save all life, like Jesus did in Christianity and guess what, the protagonists final persona is called "Messiah" and looks just like him (emo look and everything), its attack pose forms a crusifix and it even has the same coffins as Thanatos does...

[Jonny The Pie King]

I cried at the very end of the game, only game to make me do that.

Shinji dieing was also extremely upsetting for me. To the point where I blamed Ken and never used him in battle again, except for once later.

Operation Babe Hunt was hilarious...especially the last one :p

Plus Elizabeth coming to the mall...I never got any of the other ones where she came to the real world though...

[Saburo Hikari]

Greatest moment: gotta be the conclusion to P3. I was depressed, but I thought it was a great ending. Good execution (No pun intended) with the way the ending was directed I'd say, such as how it would be quiet and lonely in the dorm and a text saying "You're feeling tired." Or how the piano playing while showing a closeup of Minato's face minus the eyes in the final scene where he lies down on Aegis's lap.

[ChinoZaki]

There's a few of them...

- Minato's death
- Shadow Minato's death
- Shinji's death
- Junpei's Persona upgrade
- Akinari's final event :C

[FISSURE]

My biggest one.

"Crap, i'm about to die, it's ok, Yukari can use Mediarahn to heal the whole party, she has 113 SP left, the move only uses up 40"

*yukari uses an item that heals 50 to one person*

*main character dies*

That happened another time after that.

[Sphinx316]

The ending was so awsome...But so very sad. He was a brave man and did what had to be done. It was a crowning moment of Awsome I say anyone agree?

I somewhat agree, but it could have been improved.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

the best part was when minato flies towards nex and aigis cries

[Fatney]

The last boss battle. Most epic battle ever.

[Chidori Boy Uchiha]

The last boss battle. Most epic battle ever.

dunno i felt like it was so easy

[Fatney]

Yeah, it was extremely easy the second time, but the first time I didn't bother fusing Messiah or any really good persona at all. I don't know why. I think I used Alilat the first time, and it isn't the best persona. So he was hard the first time, and I sat on the front of my chair the entire battle.

well i'm quite the different i had surt, dyonises and two other personas that i forgot itheir names i was somehow invincible as i had every attack as a dyne or a ma dyne

[Demonis]

I think the Junpei/Chidori character relationship was great. Probably my favorite from the whole game. I mean, Junpei acts like, well... Stupei, the whole game. Then he meets this nutjob girl and turns into a mature guy. Wierd.

I know... The character development in the game is really good.

[Medicatedsoap]

The ending was really beautiful. I still haven't played through The Answer (don't really ever plan on it, either), but the symbolism / idea behind the end was quite touching in my opinion. The fact that the MC is supposed to be some sort of representation for yourself makes the MC's death at the end rather poignant (and applicable to all video games really). You, as have a player, have set everything right / the world is at peace, it's time for you to leave it. Good stuff. Which is probably part of the reason why I don't feel like playing through The Answer...playing as Aigis feels weird imo. I've watched the main cut scenes on youtube anyhoo. Maybe one day I will.

[MrBubbles]

All of Nyx Avatar.

At first you're like "Oh cool just a regular JRPG final boss, let me just buff and debuff...ZOMFG NYX ISN'T EVIL? JESUS CHRIST SO MANY QUOTES AND THE LYRIC, YES, YOU ARE THE BEST FINAL BOSS EVER".

[BRASSKNUCKLES]

i would have to say when junpei gets all POed because chidori died,,,and then hermes turns into "trigimetrius"? and attcks jin

[Rin]

I think the last battle is great, especially because you have to beat all those Nyx Avatars first...

But talking about the scene... i think it's when Akihiko and Ken made their heart resolution and get over Shinjirou's death...

[Blue Mage]

For me it's the ending, it was epic(and sad)

[Rin]

For me it's the ending, it was epic(and sad)

Yeah, it's great and... sad... I cried when I watched the ending! Minato... Just when they're almost there together to fulfill their promise...

[MileyWinters]

The Characters getting crucified. Man, this game's really milking the Jesus-References here xDDD

[BRASSKNUCKLES]

My memorable moment well im watching it right now on youtube its when mitsuru is making her speach (when there all TV like) and they all suddenly remember there promise and yukaris like our promise lets go find him and aigis to!!! and then they all run out and akihiko's like i remember now and then it goes to the scene when your laying on aigis lap (the credits made me sad that it was over lol)

My 2nd favotite moment was when they all pass out against nyx and you go to the velvet room blah blah blah and you wake up and your flying into nyx and everyones like : no dont GO!!"

my 3rd favorite moment is the hermit ending when you go to the facualty office and you see ms toriumi talking to mrs teriuchi...and you drop your cell and ms toriumi picks it up and sees the thing from the MMORPG and shes like your not omg omg omg omg im transerfering i quit Ect....

but my final favorite, moment was when everyone woke up in the dark hour against nyx and the dudes like the cult was right heres the end they werent lieing i knew i should belived them take me Ny-Ugh because he turned into a shadow and you could see his eye and tongue and everything....

[Rocket Science]

For me, my memorable moment would have to be... beating the ever-loving crap out of Natural Dancer, with a full party to boot (the Magic Mirror spam probably helped). In all honestly, Natural Dancer = Worst. Boss. EVER. Which is why it was so satisfying to see it finally go down after several botched attempts.

Hmm... I think you've got a personal grudge against the natural dancer...??

[Isshin_Ryori]

the opening movie....................the good.............the bad.................the personas..................epilogue................ ..Kimi no kioku..............*sob*....*applause*....*happine ss*...

[rpgguy999]

the moment that defeat the Strength and the Fortune Arcana
was unforgivable,that took me 1 hour

[IceCold_Assassin]

the opening movie....................the good.............the bad.................the personas..................epilogue................ ..Kimi no kioku..............*sob*....*applause*....*happine ss*...

This. i love Kimi no kioku. amazing song. very good song for an ending as well.

[Kenji]

Great Seal: 999 HP

Then, after that, realizing that the protagonist had hung on only to fulfill his promise.

...

Oh, and me laughing maniacally when I manipulated the Fortune boss into casting fear on itself, with me having "Ghastly Wail."

Junpei gaining Trismegistus and then torching Jin (I seriously thought he had died then and there... I kinda wish he had).

And giving Akihiko the command "Punch Jesus." :D

[Turtle]

Junpei gaining Trismegistus and then torching Jin
This. Even better when you remember that Jin is immune to fire and Junpei still knocked him down.
Also, the entirety of the Hermit Social Link had me in stitches.

As for unscripted events, Yukari once got us all killed because she ignored an order to heal and attacked a downed Shadow.

[kelvinc]

The ending was most memorable, mainly because I'm dense as a brick and didn't see it coming until the very last decision box. It was like: "WTF?! Is this what happens?!"
And then the last cutscene and Kimi No Kioku comes on, so I was still in shock.

On the other hand, my favourites are the bridge battle cutscene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l21ZHhbMG_s) and the Aigis resolution (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQOHcIDn0hQ). The resolution makes me want to hug her and tell her everything's going to be okay.

Plus I love the delivery on this quote: "A machine exists for a purpose. Mine is to defeat you. I exist for nothing else."

[Maverick]

Certainly the ending is up there no doubt. Though I'll admit to being particularly moved when Chidori gives her life to save Junpei's. It's not that I've not seen that kinda thing in games or TV or movies before, but for some reason that one got me good.

[Chromanin]

*Gives Junpei Spiked Bat*

Junpei: Oh, man, this is perfect! Everyone's gonna' be jealous of me now. Haters!

It was then I was sure Junpei would never leave my party(except for that one time when the game didn't let me use him).

[Yukichin]

I'll have to say the ending (especially the part before the Epilogue, from when you defeat Nyx Avatar to the next day), as well as the Hermit social link. Maya was hilarious.

[heyitskeith]

If I could pick only one moment I'd say the ending. I'm pretty sure I've re-watched it about 53202 times on youtube now. This ending and Metal Gear Solid 3 are the only games to make me think about what happened for awhile after I had beaten it.

[Gigawolf1]

I liked the part where you first use your persona, Orpheus shows up, then Thanatos bursts out of him and destroys the Magician.

Quite a way to begin the game.

[DrJonAngus]

I was pissed when Shinji died. I just finished grinding with him in Tartarus the night before the full moon, then he gets killed! I expected him to stay alive because he was a bruiser when it came to fighting! Oh well, I really liked the videos from the command room because you get to see what people are like behind closed doors. I'm only on October, but this is very far for me in terms of previous attempts at this game. I plan on finishing it as soon as possible.

Oh yeah, I also liked how the one "girl" was actually a guy during Operation Babe Hunt. The club style Tartarus is cool too for the 5th block.

[Aegis]

I cried at the very end of the game, only game to make me do that.
Yeah me too it's too sad when Arisato dies;_____;
But the part of the hot spring is really funny :D
But the Final Battle it's the best memory i have of the game.
I love how Ryoji looks like Nyx *o*

[Reduction]

when minato sleeping on aegis's nap...
then his visions blur, scratching a silhouette of blue butterfly...
before he breaths his life, his friends is waiting for him...

[Kuzuha]

When ikutsuki betrayed everybody, when shinji dies and the whole ending.

[DrJonAngus]

I was shocked when Ikutski turned out to be evil and insane too.

[AigisFan]

my unforgettable moment was spent cursing Aigis with every obcinity in the book after an hour of fighting nyx and having her heal him to full health while confused.

its okay Aigis,your still #1 but we are gonna reprogram your healing data :P

[Tello, the Hark!]

Finding out Ryoji's back story
Takaya's tatoos
Maxing out the magician social link was pathetic, and memorable...

[innocentsinner93]

If you think think thats sad play Mother 3. Tangines aside i think that the most memorable part for me was when I went back and played the game again and found a bunch of connections in the story.

[Hanamura Yousuke]

Nothing, Nothing. Was more memorable to me than the first time Arisato summons Orpheus/Thanatos. That was the day my opinion on JRPGs changed forever.

[Lumi]

When the "Main Character" smiles and finally dies. Too sad, but definitely the best moment of the game.

Yeah his death was a major blow to me. I hate the fact that he lived only long enough to graduate but died later. :very_sad:

[freezer250]

Mine was at the end when the main character dies in Aigis arms. Very memorable moment. Oh and "Operation Beach hunt" with the 3 guys was the funniest thing in a videogame I ever saw ;)

[MomoChan]

When Elizabeth requested to see MC's room, and she openly asks for him to seal the deal.

Let's face it, when FES came out, Liz beat Yukari's "people might hear me scream" line by a landslide. :p

[Kordero]

Mine was at the end when the main character dies in Aigis arms.

Same for me... so sad... and when Mitsuro defend you from her fiance :D

[Worm]

I liked the train, mainly because I thought they were going to have some sort of crushing failure there and start melding the two worlds (like many rpgs do) but they went ahead and kept each world separate.

[lalalagirl]

Shinji's death D:

Akihiko's mourning over Shinjiro X_X so sad D:

Mitsuru's father's death D:

The final battle.

The last few days left for Minato T_T & of course his death.

I also loved the priestess and emperor and empress moon missions. && of course the hierophant and lovers XDDD

Those were some good times :)))


The kyoto trip was nice as well :D

[Crow T. Robot]

my unforgettable moment was spent cursing Aigis with every obcinity in the book after an hour of fighting nyx and having her heal him to full health while confused.

its okay Aigis,your still #1 but we are gonna reprogram your healing data :P
haha dude that exact same thing happened to me except it was Yukari.
