"he felt something settle in his gut that sat like guilt but burned like pride"

great line

This brings closure to your fic and it's good

Started out sad then got hopeful.

At this point I kind of doubt you'll ever write more for this series, so I guess this is it.

Your Againx3 series has been one of the best stories I've read on this site in quite a while.

Sent my imagination running in all kinds of directions.

Gah that's sad.

I'm also a little sad at the resolution of the previous oneshot. I like Yukari.

All three of these short stories have been a great deal of fun to read. They feel a bit more relaxed, too, now that the fate of the world isn't hanging in the balance. I'm really looking forward to seeing more snippets of life after Inaba in the Againx3 universe. :)

I think this third one is my favorite so far. I'm a sucker for all four of Souji's personalities, after all.

I can't believe I sent that PM BEFORE realizing this series existence QAQ
YES I'M CRYING LIKE HELL.

' but because she was Minako, a person worthy of recognition.'
' she did not want to disappear. She was fine with their living situation, but having someone outside of her head acknowledge her existence was…it was good. It was needed.'

Exactly. My feelings ;A; It's pouring out so much.
Minako is the only person that ever made me role play while playing a game.
When I played P3P for the first time,
I'm not me. I imagined being her, the way she reacts and everything. (Probably why Yukari is the only SL I reversed!)
And when the game ended...the first thing that went through my mind was.
"Screw this. I want to live. You can't just end me like that.
I want to live, to love and be loved, to exist."

You sir,
I salute thee for reminding me how precious and important Minako and the whole persona 3 and 4 cast to me.

This was fascinating. Actually just re-read the entire main story before moving onto this. 'Again' is also incredible.

You really have a knack for exploring complicated issues. The whole thing shopping trip with Minako was AMAZING! Exploring the issue of a mishmash identity in such a way was pure gold. A real pleasure to read. Also gave me a whole host of warm fuzzies.

Minako really tugs at your heartstrings, she really is arguable the most tragic character in the story in my opinion. Thought, being a part of Seta kinda confuses the issue...

Just wanted you to know I still really love the story!

I read the predecessor to this, and now I'm gang through this...and while it has been a while since you've updated, at wish that perhaps one day you will have time to come back to it. It was very lovely. And the entire story package has meant a lot to me.

I have to say, you really captured these characters in your writing. I certainly hope you come back to this eventually! Good luck!

Although it gets confusing at times, it's still one of your best works

a couple of tissues... check!
a hammer... check!
and a choker... check!

I'm ready for the next chapter! Better read it now!

(...reading...)

Feelings! HNNNNNG!

People, we now what is exactly happening inside Souji's mind. Having 3 souls co-existing and residing in his psyche is SERIOUS BUSINESs. We firsthand saw the experience from one of the residents, Minako. Though she is a girl, she won't back down from the challenge of taking over the body their residing.

Oh man, I just can't explain completely this feeling I have and the thoughts I'm thinking currently. In fact I'm typing this review after the read the chapter. Seriously, you still haven't lost your skill in writing this story. Being an epilogue for Again3x Once More, it seriously deals some heavy stuff that are hanging from the previous work. You dealt with the idea of having 3 more person's consciousness residing in your body, soul or whatever completely that it reminds me of Platinum in BlazBlue. (Seriously, she has the same situation with Souji in-universe)

Well that's all I can say for now since I have to reflect on my words later and send a PM maybe with my thoughts in complete form. I will patiently wait for the next chapter. Thanks and more POWER to you!

I am uncontrollably happy that you updated.

This... This is beautiful. I've never played P3P, but the way you write Minako is just completely enthralling. Also, her making Souji's hair look like Akihiko's to try on clothes was really cute, it made me smile. This is set before Souji meets Yukari, seeing as Ryoji hasn't been out and about yet, but the time transitioning isn't jarring or confusing at all. You've set the scene really well. I have wondered this, though: does anything about Souji look different when one of the others is in control, or is it just the way "he" holds "himself" that changes? (like Minato's trademark hands-in-pockets slouch or how Minako was helping Souji be feminine during the crossdressing pageant) Is Minato going to get a turn too? How do those two relate with each other, anyway? Like siblings? Awkwardly, seeing as Minato replaced Minako just by existing? ...Okay, I'm going to stop flooding you with questions now, sorry about that. Regardless, this story and its predecessor are both truly amazing and I'm probably going to go reread Again and Again and Again Once More again now. Keep up the amazing work!

The Megami Tensei games that I've played have always had an ending or a choice that I could never take until a later playthrough. The Kingdom Of Heaven is disgusting, a world of equality is naive and shortsighted and a meritocracy, purer than the hybrid society we have now is more luck of the draw and as a result is far more unfair than the current world, survival of the fittest is present in the current system, but in general, the weak are not left to die.

Killing Ryoji and choosing a path of ignorance, that is weakness. Its a choice yeah, but a common theme in SMT, besides YHVH being a huge git, is that humanity NEVER goes quietly into the night, whether they fight as a collective or a 'chosen' group or individual obtains power and fights, they resist their supposed fate. I'm fairly certain that the canonical endings are the neutral endings, where the threat is destroyed andthe world is reset to how it once was or humanity becomes the master of its own destiny with no interference. In the Persona games, the True or 'Golden' endings are canonical.

Looking forward to more.

Damn March the 5th 2012 to hell

that and a harry potter fan-fic about rationality is why I didn't check if this thing existed.

Anyways, a couple questions,

I just remembered that the death social link in P3Fes/P automatically maxes itself out once Hanged man shadow gets killed and Pharos get's his memories over who he is back.

...Does that mean that in P4 Souji never interacted with Hisano's social link?

And now I don't even want to think what might have happened between the devil social links

And did Minako kill herself?
