This is gonna come off as a bit emo but it's something I've been thinking of a lot lately and want to get it off my chest. <br> Persona is a great series. I love the story, the characters, the gameplay, etc. But after a while it makes me feel empty. Like it just becomes wish fulfillment at some point. I'm speaking mostly about the friendship between everyone in the Phantom Thieves. The bonds they all have with each other feels so real, and it makes me wish I was actually one of them, or had a friend that was like Yusuke or Ryuji. It reminds me of friends I met a long time ago, that I thought I had that kind of unbreakable bond with. Every one of those friendships ended horribly for one reason or another... <br> Which is why I'm so conflicted about P5 right now. I don't want to stop playing it, but I also don't want to be reminded that I'll never have a group of friends as unbreakable as the main cast. <br> <br> I dunno. I guess I wrote all this wondering if anyone else felt the same.
