![]() ![]() Mankind is the source of its own downfall but it can also be the source of its greatness. The other issue is that Erebus ultimately reinforces the theme of P3 and the Apathy Syndrome cases. ![]() In truth the party realized that the battle they fought against the Shadows and Nyx was a fight he really did fight alone and so stopping Erebus, even if it was only temporary, was a means for them to feel like they were helping him when they really couldn't before. the party finally discovered the truth about the MC, not simply what he had done at the end but also the secrets he kept like the Velvet Room and so forth. The battle itself was also largely symbolic. If it felt like Aigis was single out its simply because she's the 'leader". and since the game didn't feel like re-hashing the Social Link system, Aigis had to find another way to reach an "understanding" and build a better bond with the few friends she had in order solidify the game's theme about "bonds and choices".Īs a Wild Card, Aigis is a threat so Erebus does have reason to strike but maybe my memory is foggy but I was pretty sure Erebus is simply a rage monster that attacked the group because they were there. ![]() She doesn't have any friends outside of S.E.E.S. The other issue here is that the battles represent Aigis making sense of her her own social connections. Had Aigis been less wishy washy, I feel Junpei would have sided with her. If you remember he was the one thinking the group needed to sit down and discuss the situation further. In truth, Junpei wanted to talk the issue over some more but both Akihiko and Yukari made their choices and were ready to fight for it so he took his own side as the side of moderation. Sure he believes undoing the seal on Nyx is a bad move but as the other person closest to the MC, he can totally sympathize with Yukari's stance. Why aren't he and Koromaru on the same team as Akihiko and Ken when their goal is the same - leaving the dorm (other than the fact that a two-on-four battle would be too hard)?īecause Junpei isn't totally aligned with Akihiko. Not to mention, he seems pretty anticlimactic, but that's subjective.Īny thoughts? Perhaps some answers to those questions, other that sloppy writing? I really was expecting better, especially after such a strong scenario in "The Journey", this just seems shoehorned in, unnecessarily padded, rushed, and a waste of good potential. If they had only discovered the true nature of the seal and not battled, it would not have impacted the plot in the slightest, because at the end they say Erebus is a threat as long as people don't change. Fighting it accomplished absolutely nothing aside from giving the game a final boss. But what does fighting him accomplish? Why does he target Aigis? I understand she has a wildcard now, but she's not exactly a threat as the seal's already in place and placing another won't change a thing so essentially, killing her does Erebus no good. Again, I love the idea that it's humanity's own fatalistic tendencies that are the true villain instead of Death personified. I think it's awesome that we got a conflict within the party, but the execution was forced - why fight in pairs? Why is Aigis fighting at all if she doesn't know what she want? Why is Koromaru with Junpei? Why does Junpei fight if he's just scared of Nyx? Why aren't he and Koromaru on the same team as Akihiko and Ken when their goal is the same - leaving the dorm (other than the fact that a two-on-four battle would be too hard)? The ideas and themes were all pretty interesting. Let's get this out of the way - we were both pretty disappointed. And yes, I wanted to know what exactly was going on after. I figured this would be a good chance for us to view The Answer cutscenes, as I did not have an opportunity to play FES and have heard a lot of people say it's so awesome. Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES spoilers ahead. ![]()
