“Painful reminder… that he’s gone”

JUST KILL ME OH MY

[Gestrid]

It's a lot more low-key than I was expecting from a Persona opening. But it fits the mood really well.

[ProtoBean]

I love how you can hear a bit from the original P3fes opening

[shadowtree]

The difference in the vibe between full moon full life and this is wild… and I love it

[Virzen.]

WE ARE GETTING THE ANSWER WITH THIS ONE‼️‼️🔥🔥🗣️🗣️

[Trecko]

It starts in the exact same way as Full Moon Full Life but the butterfly flies over Makoto's other eye 😭

[yumithehunter]

Is it the best opening? No.
Is it the saddest and makes you feel the most… holy fuck yes

[TheDaphinator]

This is likely the most tragic Persona opening ever. Possibly the first not designed to get you hyped for the game you are about to play. Rather, it reminds you of the feelings of friends you left behind, and possibly your own feelings as well. Before you can even see how they are once you return to the dorm, you already understand, this has been rough on them; they are not okay, and there is a good chance you were not after The Journey’s ending either. This is not a story to be hyped for in the way the others are. This is a story jumping off of one of the most bittersweet endings in JRPG history. In P4 and P5, the protagonist leaves at the end yet always has the opportunity to come back and see his friends again or stay in touch over the phone. In P3, the protagonist is truly gone. For the player, as much as this may hit you in the moment, you have the luxury of knowing this is fictional, or that you can open a new save and Makoto lives again. Yet for your friends in the game, this is their reality. Their friend is really gone. In the months since Reload released, the emotions and pain from the ending may have died down naturally with time for players as we move on to new games or other life events. Yet this opening makes sure that once you sit back down with your controller, you understand what aftermath you are entering, what tragedy was left in your wake.

Poor aigis and everyone, and that scene of makoto and his stuff disappearing and a cherry blossom petal just falling on the ground, so sad yet so amazing I love it all

[Under-the-moon]

Don’t know why but “all the little things like the scent of his cologne, is a painful reminder that he’s gone” hits hard asf 1:08

[DaveAdam]

0:50 oh look its the cover art of the game

[Newsteevie]

It's so different from ANY other Nusona opening. I love it.

Lyrics:

We can only move forward
Moving in the dark, darkest, darkest time

I keep on reliving the last phase of our days
I'm not sure how I feel anymore
I think I'm homesick but
I don't know (I don't know)
How to go back to a place that's gone

With a change of winds
My heart fell and I can't find it

Feeling empty
Spending days and nights of silence
'Cause no words can explain how I feel
In my mind, and I
Oh, I don't know what I am but I miss myself
'Cause he's not here anymore
How can I move on? Please tell me

In the end you learn
How to walk alone and be strong (Lost without you)
All of the things like thе scent of his cologne
Is a painful remindеr that he's gone

It feels like my heart is suffocating
How do you make amends where you come from
Maybe I'm gone with the wind
How come I feel so lost?
Nothing makes sense to me
I'm so numb, so lost without you

[maquinlol]

The new songs are all so sad, fits Episode Aigis perfectly

[Samoss]

0:57 When it zoomed in to makoto's lips, the only thing i could think was his final words to aigis before he sealed himself....'live'

[AwesomeRisuu]

The spider lillies at the start, the fool arcana shattering, Makoto's soft smile as he floats towards Aigis while she's trying to reach out to him... Makoto's evoker and mp3 disappearing while showing their first meeting and last moments, the cherry petal falling at the end... it's so heartbreaking.
This opening really focuses on his passing and this is probably my favorite persona opening so far it's so genius

[narasnek]

What I really love about P3 is that explores in more depth his theme. The journey is about accepting the inevitability of death and living your life to the fullest. Episode Aigis is about overcoming losing someone dear and moving forward. Episode Aigis explores the pain and confusion that feel those who are still alive. A lot of people doesn't like Yukari representation in Episode Aigis, but is more about their ignorance that there are different stages of grieving and nobody feels grief or act in the same way when lose someone.

[TimeturnerJ]

The Fool Arcana falling past everyone and then shattering... Somehow, that visual got me the most.

[CYBERRCKS]

I FEEL LIKE SHOOTING MYSELF WITH THIS ONE ‼‼‼‼‼‼

[RhythmOSauce]

Can't to hear Agis shout "I NEED YOUR HELP!" once more in Reload
