From the wiki: “ of their psyche known as a Persona, which they summon by firing a gun-like object called an "Evoker" at their head.”
Ummm, what?
Early spoilers for P3/Reload, but yeah this is actually how you use your powers in P3. Skip to 1:24 if the time stamp doesn't work.
Trigger warning for anime teen shooting himself in the head, there is no blood or bits.
Anyways, I really like P3, I hope Persona 2 duology gets a remake like this (it won't).
Ah nothing like giving impressionable youth a game that makes them think if they blow their brains out they’ll get super powers.
I mean this game is set in and made by people in Japan, gun culture is very different there. "Impressionable youths" wouldn't even have access to a gun.
Also, the visual of teens shooting themselves in the head is very much a thematic point, as Japan's teen suicide rate is very much a systemic issue they were (and are still) grappling with when the story was written.
Right. Also shooters makes you murderous and anime games make you a pedophile because no one ever can distinguish real life from games.
“Won’t somebody PLEEEEASE think of the CHILDREN?!”
It’s rated M
How would that work? Considering I mean that past studies have always shown that this doesn't work like that for kids learning things from fictional works.
(nevermind that there's no way they'd have a gun except in some really ass backwards countries without any gun laws)
Lol the game comes with major trigger warnings the moment you boot it up, not to mention it's not for kids.
But damn, stay away from the likes of Doki Doki Literature Club if you think this game is bad.
Last I checked, the game was rated M for mature.
If your kids are playing this, it's your fault. It's weirdly sexual, too.
