goddamn man im not even motivated to start P4 because P3s ending hit me hard
fuck
fuck
I think Persona Q's dialogue is going to be so mushy and sweet that I'm going to throw up on my 3DS.
I felt the same way, haha. It's hard to place one above the other, but P4 is definitely at least as good.

I read this at first as "these porno illustrations:"
P4 is the better game overall, but that doesn't mean I like it more than P3.
They convey a completely different feeling and I love both of them, but not for the same reasons.
P4 has the most consistently good s.links while P3 has some really good ones (Akinari, Maya) and a couple of really "eh" ones (Keisuke, Bebe and Kenji)
P3 has the better ending though, while P4 kind of loses some momentum towards it's end

Hi Izanami
So date and ignore people at my own pleasure?
I thought that Persona 4's actual ending cutscene was miles better. 3's was really good, but 4's was one of the best game endings I've ever seen.
Lets not get hyperbolic here. While Persona 4 is an amazing game, it's ending is hardly among one of the best. The true ending is rather lackluster (and in the original game,
comes out of nowhere via an asspull.
The only advantage P4's ending has is that there was a better company animating it instead of a bunch of cowards so ashamed of their work they went under an alias.

Congratulations! I now disagree with you more than I did yesterday.
The animation quality didn't bother me in either ending.

Even I, who much Prefers P4, thinks P3 has the better ending.
The actual ending cutscene? Get out of town. P4's is amazing.
The opening intro has one, but that's it. No animated cutscenes cuz the UMD was ze goofy idea.

YOU WOULD TOO
P3's ending cutscene does have decent animation, compared to some of the others in the game. But there's a few that are downright amateurish.
Haha, I really hope they release an upgraded version of P3, then, cuz this game, nice as it is, deserves better than these (understandably) cut corners.
Well, in terms of how much is playable, the next time you get free time after catching Adachi like January 9th or 10th, then you have every day free until February 11th I wanna say. You have the ski trip around there, which leads directly into the new dungeon). After Valentine's Day is over, the game skips to 3/20, which is the last day of the game.
And yeah flux, you're probably right. Just weird that they were doing it in order of joining their respective groups, and now suddenly they won't. Kind of a missed opportunity. Then again, no earthly clue why they're leaving some things as outlines, when we ALL know who they are.
Real talk: Persona 4's ending cutscene made me feel more emotional resonance than pretty much any game I've ever played. It completely blew my mind.
I'd go as far as to call it as close to perfection as is feasible.
I agree. The finale of P4 was underwhelming.

Yes the event and the cutscene by
the train station and everyone saying goodbye is amazing
Got close to crying in both endings and for such different reasons. I really admire Atlus for pulling that off.

Eh, it's no Shadow of the Colossus, but it's pretty good. P4's true end felt realy abrupt compared to the other ending though, and the reveal of the final villain nearly made one of my friends quit the game right there.
I can't appreciate P3 ending enough because I'm not came in clean (got spoiled >_>)
But I do think the end game kinda dragging and mood breaker (climbing 50 floor of tartarus and stuff)
EDIT : oops didn't know that's kinda controversial opinion.. but I prefer P4 endgame by far, the twist are great.. and overall its great roller coaster with satisfying reward.

It was pretty darn good. If only the rest of the game's story had been as strongly written...
....what? Isn't that a major contradiction?
The finale and the ending aren't the same thing. The finale consists of the events that lead into the ending.
No. Did you read the post that it was quoting?
The finale (As in, the true ending stretch) is weird and not great. The ending cutscene
at the train station, everyone chases the train, Never More etc.
Hoo boy, did it. Astounding.
SotC's ending did nothing for me at all, not helped by the fact that I was pretty much sick of the game at that point. I really feel like SotC hits this incredibly high note about halfway through, and then doesn't really know where to go from there. The final Colossus was kind of pathetic.
So you didn't like 3/20, but were a fan of the final cutscene? Sorry for misunderstanding.
I can see what your saying. The whole
Izanami
I think he's strictly talking about the ending
when Yu leaves Inaba
Yep, go nuts.
Dating all the girls NOW.
Also P4G ending spoilers
When Yu tosses his glasses to the side was totally bad ass, guys.

Ok ok, I was talking like, climax to ending. The actual ending cutscene in P4 is better.
I mean, I enjoyed it, but it was kind of ho-hum. I don't care much for the actual overarching plots in Persona 3 and 4, it's everything around them that I love.
Some great symbolism in the true ending though.
P3's is excellent. The final battle is completely incredible.
It does help that the battle is accompanied by one of the best boss themes of all time.
Please don't spoil this for yourself if you haven't heard it.
P4's ending is okay. It was a good round off to the game, but I wouldn't say it's anything exceptional. I think what sets out to achieve is
In that regard, it's successful, and I generally like it.
P3's ending is something else. It's just wonderful in every respect. One of the best game endings ever, regardless of the animation quality. They really knocked it out of the park, in my view.
create the feeling that you spent a year in Inaba, and now it's over. It's sweet and sentimental.

That's it, you're getting added to the fight list.

SPOILERS DUCK AND COVER
This song that also plays somewhere in the "Finale" is also thematically awesome:

That point and onwards: perfection.
That list must be pretty long by now...
I pretty much agree with Omi's opinion, so not much more for me to say there. Mind you, I am biased towards Persona 3 seeing as I played it first before Persona 4.
Yeah
Saying goodbye to your closest friends was hard as enough, but when Yu's S.link friends showed up, I started bawling like a baby. I'm not the type of person who cries over a video game, but seeing Shu, Ai, Kou and the others say their sad goodbye just made me lose it.
Yeah x2
When Burn My Dread plays again I lose it.

Couldn't disagree with you more!
SotC's ending is one of the greatest examples of dramatic irony, reincorporation, pathos and melancholy I've ever seen in anything ever, and it filled me with a deep sadness and emptiness the likes of which no other game aside from The Walking Dead has come close to replicating.
Also, how can the game hit its high note halfway through if the three most- loved Colossi in the game aren't fought until the second half?
Re: Malus,
although he 's not very exciting from a gameplay perspective, he's far from pathetic. As the fight goes on, he imitates the emotional state of the main character in the reverse order in which he experienced them, going from rage to pain to curiosity and wonder to grief, and this is all reflected without any dialogue or musical cues (the same somber tune plays the whole way through the fight).
You can't diss my favourite game and get away without getting an earful!
So...if we are going to talk about endings for Persona 3 and 4...
...which ending song do you personally prefer?
Nevermore (Persona 4): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXYdgfXyYqs
or
Kimi no Kioku [Memories of You] (Persona 3):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-CSZDbKuL4?

Nevermore is like the worse persona song.
Why only limited to those two ;__;

Not sure I could pick a favourite out of Never More or Kimi no Kioku. I love them both, and they're both pretty fitting for their respective game's ending.
I played P4 first and then P3 after. I don't think it matters which order you play them in to have a proper perspective on their merits and downfalls. It just takes good taste. :3
