#p3p came out after fes so the junpei flashback serves to give him some much needed depth as a character

people need to give more love to The Answer (Persona 3 FES)'s soundtrack. it's good enough to stand alongside The Journey in my opinion; sure the Mass Destruction remix isn't all that good but then you have stuff like Heartful Cry which goes hard as hell and Interstice of Time which is just as good as Tartarus in my opinion. the way it's packaged into the officially released soundtrack is perfect, too; instead of each part of the song being separate tracks that all have fadeouts and don't last longer than like 2-3 minutes, it's one continuous seamless 10 minute experience that is so fucking good, as the tension builds and builds and builds and builds with all the different kinds of instrumentation that's introduced, same as Tartarus, but instead of capping off at an epic orchestral finale like how Tartarus does all that tension is dissipated instantly by the return to the simple piano at the finale and it's fucking Haunting I love it so much
#persona 3#persona 3 fes#p3#p3fes#the answer feels like this all throughout imo#it's such an expertly crafted followup to the journey#i love metis#i love aigis#i love the struggle between sees at the revelation of being able to see makoto again#i LOVE how yukari is portrayed#i can get why some find it unappealing but it's such a good way to write her#i love the flashbacks so much#yeah it's story dripfeed and in the end probably isn't worth it considering the effort it takes to get there#but seeing young akihiko and young mitsuru makes it worth it#p3p came out after fes so the junpei flashback serves to give him some much needed depth as a character#its such a good story god fucking damn#i just wish it didn't suck to play...#i get they needed to stretch it out one way or another but... cmon...#its so needlessly hard#unironically impossible unless youre committed to grinding (which is something i thought persona was actively against but okay)#and even with the grind you still gotta know the game's systems in and out in order to beat the minibosses#it makes me so mad#yeah its a skill issue but i dont fucking care#would it really have hurt them to add a difficulty option#or atleast a baby mode that was more similar to p3's normal difficulty. which is already a fair challenge#idk man i just wish i didnt have to cheat my way through the game in order to be able to experience the story#one day i will legitimately beat the answer#but that day is not today. or anytime within the next few years
