SO WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE

SO WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE...

Up until this very moment, in this fucking dorm in this fucking school I suddenly am supposed to be surprised that I don't turn into a coffin at 12am like every other person on earth?

Is the game honestly supposing that a 16-year-old has somehow never stayed up past 11pm to wonder why on earth everyone else gets turned into a coffin and everything gets creepy as fuck?

Has my character always gone to bed before 11:59pm his entire fucking life? This has never come up in his past before? Why is this now a revelation?

The movie handled it better, the main character's been experiencing the dark hour since his childhood, and while it still makes him mildly uneasy he's used to it.

Going to bed after 11:59 is illegal, user.

It's never really stated of Tartarus/the Dark Hour is a recent phenomenon, only occurs around Tartarus, or both.

It's a game just roll with it.

From what I understand he didn't particular give a fuck because he experienced dark hour since he was a kid. It's one of those things too outlandish sounding to go and try to tell everyone and an hour later everyone's back to normal so he just rolls with it.

>It's a game just roll with it.
>"It's just a game, it's supposed to have a shit plot."

If this is the level of seriousness we apply to games, no one will ever take them seriously.

>OH MY GOD MY PARENTS ARE COFFINS
I usually excuse a lot of weeb plots for their bullshit, this is the one I excused for P3. It's an anime, it's supposed to be shit.

I thought the dark hour was a localized phenomenon since only people in that city get that apathy syndrome

It's called suspension of disbelief and it applies to all forms of media.

>MY PARENTS
user...

That's not how suspension of disbelief works.

The reason he's not phased is that he's desensitised to it, and people in general. Plot reasons, basically. I don't want to spoil the game for you.

It's a worldwide thing, I believe. It's just that shadow activity is centred around Tartarus for obvious reasons.

He always wondered how he could wake up so refreshed, like he got an extra hour of sleep or something.

...bad media
The goal is to avoid suspending any disbelief unless it fits the world its residing in or if that isn't the target of the medium.

Since Persona as a series is 99.99% pressing triangle to skip bullshit dialogue so... story... that's a lot of suspension.

>The reason he's not phased is that he's desensitised to it

bullshit. If I woke up at age 8 in the middle of the night and my parents were suddenly coffins and there was blood dripping over the walls for no good reason, I'd be a bit fucked up about it.

There's no way this kid didn't spend a good 50% of his juvenile life in intensive therapy and/or an insane asylum.

well not everybody has been fed soy since they were boy user

The MC actually fucked up in the head if you didn't notice. When he first arrived and shit's hit the fan how calm he fucking was.

He's a complete loner with nigh on zero social skills and basically no form of connection with any people beyond "hey, it's that guy". He's hasn't exactly gotten away Scott free mentally speaking, he's just seen it so much that it's not shocking anymore and nothing particularly bad has happened to him in that hour for over 5 years beyond not being able to use headphones.
Anyone would be fine with puddles of blood and green hues after that long, it's not too hard to believe. Also, MC didn't suddenly just wake up one night.

MC's a suicidally depressed loner
Kid's fucked up, that's kind of the point of magical nose demons telling him to go make some friends dork

P3 > P4 > P5

P5 is just P4 but improved in almost every way though
How does that ranking work?

This makes the most sense, game-wise. If it is only near tartarus then he'd only just experienced it.
Which makes sense because the suicide people also only happen in Iwatodai iirc

I thought P5 was pretty boring story wise.

Supposedly it only started happening to him because he returned to Iwatodia.

I don't know how long you've been playing but you'll see why that's significant later, so I won't spoil it.

Good I hope nobody ever takes them seriously and they all fuck off to watch whatever the hell it is they are watching right now

>If I woke up at age 8 in the middle of the night and my parents were suddenly coffins
>parents
Kill yourself you cuckold faggot, either play the game or suck off an AIDs ridden nigger dick

I hate you you fucking cat.
