  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&apos;s videos like this that shows others that they&apos;re not only one&apos;s that struggling and it&apos;s okay to feel that way, and that you&apos;ll gonna make it through and find meaning. Thank you for the vid

  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. &nbsp;It&apos;s the watered down version but I love this series.

  And thus, we&apos;re all &quot;linked&quot; together through this experience. That&apos;s why this series is such a masterpiece :)

  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&apos;s not what you dealt with - but I am sorry with what you did - for what it&apos;s worth, I hope for the best for your - and our future.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q5iZMSsUUI&amp;t=852">14:12</a> 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.

  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&apos;ve been through, it&apos;s just a miracle in its own right.
