Y'all should see how my face positively lights up every time I see the dark hour cutscene when I didn't decide to go to Tartarus because that usually means I get to see Pharos and I love this strange eldritch child. He just shows up, says something vague and ominous, smiles about being friends, and dips. It's amazing, thank you for making sure I know when the full moon is. It's completely redundant because I see the deadline constantly but your efforts are appreciated because you're trying to help you strange eldritch child.
Mmm ok ngl P3R has *not* been doing a very good job with it's supposedly impactful moments so far. Like, some of these moments just don't have the vibes to make them feel like they're actually important, when logically I know they're supposed to be. The characters are all standing around in their basic poses in a basic shot, the music (while amazing) doesn't fit the emotion (like, did they seriously just go straight back to default dark hour theme on 9/5?) and as good as the animations and voice acting are, they're undercut by the pauses from waiting for the player to finish reading.
I watched the first persona 3 movie, and the contrast between the game moment and the movie moment for Fuuka's persona reveal revealed to me just how good it could've been but wasn't. Idk, I keep hearing how P3 has the best story but I'm just not seeing it. Was it better in portable? The story moments just haven't been hitting right.
