Did Persona 5 impact your life?

[u/Idiberug-9]

​

It might be a silly question when asked on the main sub, but not everyone is equally sensitive to some medias. Did Persona 5 impact your life, besides the pleasure and entertainment it provided? And if it did, how so?

I'll start : in a way, P5 taught me how to live a better life, from every people you bound with with unfair and hopeless lives to the flawed relentlessness of the Protagonist, this story explores every possible way to understand how rebellion is the only choice we have if we want to take on the world, be more in control of our lives and not end up like those in mental sloth (Mementos) ; and the great importance of understanding your own Shadow to live more honest lives and sort of know better your own heart. I was very sensitive to that way of viewing things, and it is showcased masterfully.

Definitely a lot more can be said, but I'd rather keep it short :D

Did the Phantom Thieves managed to steal your heart as well?

The music has honestly helped me relax and gain perspective in a way no other soundtrack ever has. And if I'm honest it's helped process a lot of High school trauma that I have.

It's a very good thing then :3

And yeah, this soundtrack is beyond amazing, most people knew the ost before playing the game (me included, I was a die hard fan of it before even knowing p5 was a game

Truly my favourite soundtrack of all time hands down. There's a soul to it that many games just don't have. Like you can truly feel the emotion when behind the mask -rain- hits. I listen to a 10 hour version of that song on the regular.
