What a story. Persona 3 Reload I found myself playing last year while my husband was in the hospital. While he slept, or when I’d get restless after going home at night and he was not there, I’d play and I think the these themes helped me process some things. The good news to this story is he is cancer free now and we continue to enjoy life and make new memories together.

I think talking about death and unwillingness to live should not be a taboo in society, it's videos like this that shows others that they're not only one's that struggling and it's okay to feel that way, and that you'll gonna make it through and find meaning. Thank you for the vid

This game is profoundly special to me, I played it at the single lowest point of my own life and it absolutely broke me. The world, the story, the characters it was my escapism from the problems I faced on a day to day basis. I will never forget the first time I rolled credits on Persona 3. It was 3 in the morning, the night before my final exams for my hardest college courses, and I sat there bawling my eyes out while the credits played. I am currently in the process of script writing for my own video on this game, it is something that means more to me than nearly any other piece of media.

Persona 4 saved me in a similar way. I had no friends and my family life was hell. That cast became my friends and watching them bond really spoke to me and gave me hope gor better days ahead.  It's the watered down version but I love this series.

My dad died just after the release after Perona 3 Reload, I lost the will to live. I was in a terrible depression with an abusive dead father, I am 24 and for 21 years I dealt with it. It's not what you dealt with - but I am sorry with what you did - for what it's worth, I hope for the best for your - and our future.

This game for me its deeply special to me, I discover this games after a failed attempt. The story, the characters and everything in this game made me think about life, about my social relationships, about the difference between being alone and feel alone, not about the meaning of life but to enjoy it and embrace my Memento Mori and Memento vivire, at first I thought it was going to be a depressing game, then I found out that this game bring me joy, a piece of entertainment that felt like It was done for me at the exact time. P3 FES will be my favorite game for ever and ever because it gave me a refreshed perspective on life.

And thus, we're all "linked" together through this experience. That's why this series is such a masterpiece :)

persona 5 hit me in a dark time in my life. I had just lost my tia to cancer and she was the first one I came out to as trans. my dad had relapsed into drugs and I was living with him out of the childish hope I could save him from addiction. the rest of my family had grown very distant from me. at this point in time I had grown fond of Marxist teachings to me they explained the reasoning for injustice in our world and sorry state of "living". I felt lost and angry with the world but seeing these fellow teenagers do something about made me feel a real connection. at the time I didnt have many friends let alone friends who agreed with ideology considering I grew up in the south. I wanted revenge I wanted to hurt those so I deemed my oppressor, but seeing the cause that the p5 crew fought grow and grow made me become more gentle and helped me separate my interpersonal want for revenge into a simple want for people to be happy. I could make a whole essay about how p5 made me feel same with p3 since I played them around the same time

14:12 Dark Souls is a game that changed my perspective on life. It’s not just a hard game. It’s a game about never giving up in a world of absolute despair. Also the often repeated line: ”Don’t you dare go hollow” just struck me to my core.

Stuff like this is why I’m so grateful for personas existence, the fact that so many people share the same feelings about these games as I do is comforting.

Your story alone though me a lesson and changed my mentality to a certain degree thank you

I've known a little bit about Persona 3 ever since I was small. Entering my late teens/young adult years, I found myself in a deep pit of inescapable toxicity and dread. Needless to say, I felt trapped and depressed. It's not incorrect to say that the idea of checking out early was somewhat apparent. I then proceed to experience Persona 3 one more time, in the form of Reload. I shall never forget about my love for this series again. I honestly don't think I've resonated with a game as much as this one. The idea of living your life to the fullest through mundane actions is something I hold near and dear. I'm not afraid to live my life. I get to choose what I want to do everyday, and that is such a blessing. Thank you for this amazing video. I truly appreciate your outlook on the game. Please, continue to live your life, no matter how big or small your actions are. And don't forget to enjoy the ride.🙂

This video is so beautiful, I actually cried real tears whilst watching this man, to think you would still have the will to live after everything you've been through, it's just a miracle in its own right.

13:00 this conclusion with memories of you on the background hit hard

it's ironic, because I played P3FES in highschool, which was the best time in a person's life to be playing a game like this, and all it did was make me even more depressed. P3 and P4 showed me how much on life I'd missed out on, what true friends were like, what having a purpose was like, what having friends and being liked and respected by your peers was like, what having a girlfriend and a loving relationship is like... these games showed me just how much I missed and lost out on, and I'll never be able to have or experience any of those things. And honestly, the way everyone tries to move on and forget the MC in The Answer really hits home to what would really happen. When you're dead, people will do everything they can to forget you and move on, life is cruel and death is even crueler still. I am the epitome of wasted youth and squandered potential, and for someone like me, these games were an absolutely brutal, devastating affirmation.

I’m really glad this game got you through an incredibly hard time in your life.

While not to the same level as you, the game certainly left an impact on me.

This game helped me realize that I'm never alone. There are many people who are going through the same trauma as me.Sometimes  I just wish I could meet them.

Holy crap, I'm on the verge of tears. I'm so sorry you went through all of that. But I'm glad you got out of that mess and managed to rebuild yourself and stand up against the oppressive forces you had in your life. I wish you nothing but peace.

I’m from Myanmar and I can absolutely feel you. Cheer!!!
