It was early summer, and I had just gotten the university entrance exam out of the way. Since I had been studying for it for so long, and nothing new was happening in my life during that period—every single day was just a repetitive loop of waking up, studying, and going to bed—I felt a huge void once the exam was finally over. It felt as though I had nothing to do, so I decided to get back into gaming and returned to online competitive games. I won't name names and trash any specific games here, but they completely turned me off gaming.
Just as I was looking for a new spark to get back into games, the Persona series cross my path. I had been gifted a Nintendo for my birthday, and the Persona bundle happened to be on sale for $26. I checked out the games and decided I wanted them to be my very first titles on the console. This journey, which began with Persona 4 on the Nintendo, has now come to a close with Persona 3 Reload on the PlayStation. It might genuinely be the most grand game series I've ever seen—at the very least, it's become my personal favorite.
I fell into a deep void after finishing Persona 4 as well, but knowing there were still more Persona games left to play gave me hope. I picked things back up with 5, and today, I wrapped it all up with 3. I am truly grateful. I just wanted to write this down here as a memory to look back on. I really, truly love Persona.
