Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248

[Anonymouswizard]

Do have to say that having a cutscene of a desperate girl trying and failing to work up the nerve to shoot herself in the head not even five minutes in was certainly a choice. They are... Not at all subtle about the themes in this one.

P3 hits hard and pulls few punches.

Edit: Also... The **** is up with the protag? Like, "Oh the moon is green and there's puddles of blood and free-standing coffins everywhere... this is perfectly normal." Dude would not last five minutes in a horror movie.

In addition to what Zodi said in at least some versions of the story Minato has been experiencing this for a long time.

P3 is an existentialist horror story? The opening message was something about how your time was short and make the best of it, so... I'm guessing nihilism and depression, but the message is "life has no meaning and everyone's gonna die, make the most of what you have?"

Am I in the right ballpark?

Momento mori. P3 is about our relationship with death, all the way from fear to grim acceptance. Our death and that of others. One of the social links is a young man having to face the fact that he will die before his life has properly begun.

Remember you are mortal. Accept your death, and that of others, but live your life
