我原谅P4G了，真的。说真的，直到昨天我都非常讨厌这个游戏，无聊的迷宫，单调的战斗（数值填的还很严苛），严苛的日常安排，古早的画面，简陋的动画，难刷到爆的支线请求，事实上我不是一个害怕困难的玩家，但是我是个害怕无聊的玩家，而P4的这些困难往往伴随着非常多的垃圾时间和高额的沉默成本，哪怕是我最终战胜了这些困难的元素我也没有哪怕一丝的欣慰和成就感，我只是觉得我的时间被浪费了。这些东西无一不让我觉得这是个严重过誉的游戏，同系列下，P5在这些方面都远远好过P4，至少一个奥村boss战就已经超过P4所有的战斗了。但是一切好的JRPG就好像是有一种什么神秘的魔力，总是能在结局的时候让你原谅之前的那些不愉快，当结局的NeverMore响起的时候，看着这些相伴了几十小时的赛博伙伴，我的内心竟然充满了不舍。其实鸣上悠这么完美的人物完全不是我这种老中做题蛆可以代入的（甚至足利都比番长让我更能代入一点），但是看着鸣上悠在八十稻羽的和伙伴们度过的这一年，也确实让我窥见健康阳光的青少年生活的一隅，这一现实层面上的价值对我来讲有着非常珍贵的意义。其实总的来看，Persona这个系列向来以这种细腻的日常刻画和对青少年成长之路上人际关系的构建见长，与其说是一个RPG游戏，倒不如说是一本互动式的青春成长小说，P系列的剧情魅力不在于提供那些刺激的体验，而在于那种“被接纳，有联系，在成长”的温暖感觉。当ED响起
