Looks like Persona 3.

It is. I laughed after the ending upset me, because the date aligned with my birthday and I found it ironic.

A song just for you, OP:

Oh hey, timely! I just finished playing through FeMC's route in P3P, and that was my first time ever playing any Persona. I'M STILL DEVASTATED.

OP

It was my first Persona game as well. I think what's so devastating about it is that you basically don't have a choice between a "good" and a "bad" ending but more like a "bad" and an "even worse" ending...

I get you, OP. when I beat P3, I was in such ending bliss that I didn't catch onto what was happening until the last few lines and then just started bawling. and then afterwards when I looked up the song lyrics...omfg just the thought of it sent me into tears for a full week afterwards. and then I started up the answer and cried myself through that too. it took me three months to move on from that game. but I love it so much </3

OP

I couldn't deal with The Answer.
I think the only way I'll ever play to the end of that game would be if they actually come around to making another game (or anything really) where Elisabeth goes on that rescue mission they keep hinting at. But if that never happens, I'm not going to play it.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-12 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
I only got through the answer because I was in such denial that I thought the game was actually presenting me with the choice to go back in time and save MC. a lot of fans think changing MC's fate would ruin the ending but I'm honestly 1000% rooting for Elizabeth to somehow do it. (and objectively I don't think it'd ruin the ending anyways. there are logical ways to go about it.)

(Anonymous) 2014-09-12 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, while I can see where they're coming from, considering that the sacrifice was the Only Way Out, but still, I wish there would have been a possibilty to avoid it. Like (different genre and game mechanics, I know) you had different possibilities to avoid the Final Sacrifice of your PC in Dragon Age Origins.

I actually could have dealt with a instant sacrifice, but what kicked me in the gut so much was the MC's lifeless husk dragging themself on and on just to keep their promise in the end. Just. No.
Or they could have left it open whether the MC actually dies or stays in a coma, that way, there would have been an easier way out.

I hear you, OP. Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core did me in the same way. I broke down in sobs, even though you knew years in advance what was going to happen. It's just something in the way that game play can make an ending so real.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-12 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, fuck, that ending. Having to actually play through what you know will be a failure is painful.

It was hella traumatic, because the rest of the game was so good and made you feel like just maybe... And even at the end it looked like you might just survive.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-12 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
OP

Ugh, yes that was a mean thing to throw at the player.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-12 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! I read the secret, thought "That's totally how I would have felt at the end of Persona 3 if I'd been spoiled for it" and then I registered the background image...

I was between sad and laughing at the ending. The laughing? The date was my dang bday... My friend, who got me on the series, got to listen to this terrible mix of feelings.
