And here are the emotional triggers tracked by the site NOT in Persona 5:

  • Dead animals
  • A dog dying
  • An animal that isn't a cat, dog, horse, or dragon dying
  • Dogfighting
  • A dragon dying
  • A horse dying
  • Spiders
  • Someone is burned alive
  • Shaving/Cutting
  • Teeth Damage
  • Amputation
  • Finger or toe multination
  • Eye mutilation
  • A head gets squashed
  • Clowns
  • Someone gets possesed
  • Jumpscares
  • Farting or spitting
  • Electro-therapy
  • A mental institution scene
  • Cancer
  • Autism Abuse
  • A Claustrophobic scene.
  • Childbirth
  • A pregnant woman dying
  • Abortion
  • A Miscarriage
  • Incest
  • Someone is misgendered
  • Anti-Semitism
  • Black Dude Dies First
  • An LGBT person dies
  • Someone says the N word
  • Ableist language/behavior
  • A sad ending
  • Someone gets burried alive
  • Nuclear Explosions
  • Drowning
  • A plane crash.

I wonder if Persona, or anything in any medium, could check off all of the boxes.

Also, Persona 4 is the only current Persona game that doesn't say that Santa isn't real.

Wait, when is anti-semitism in Persona 5?

I feel like autism abuse arguably counts here if you consider Futaba to be autistic in terms of her asshole of an uncle.

[up] Well Erica Lindbeck has played Futaba with the mentality she's on the spectrum.

I still think Kotaro should count as a dog dying regardless of Royal. It still affected me!

Autism Abuse is counted by the site as abusing someone because they are autistic. That doesn't happen in the game even if you count Futaba.

Okay, I can see the connections to traumas and phobias for most of these, but why a dragon dying?

Dragons dying is tragic in ways I can't imagine anyone would be surprised. They're cool as hell and the greatest tragedy is when they die. That they're so cool is how D&D used it against people in Game of Thrones.

Its part of why 3H CF ending just doesnt work for me based on the gruesome death of a dragon is just the start of how cruel it is before being folloed by the nonsensical.

Did I mention the trauma of seeing long-hyped dragons being sniped out of the sky by a bunch of turrets? tongue

Maybe there were kids that were traumatized about the death of Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty for some reason.

And the scorpions only work to begin with because they decided they would in the show, because it was the only way they could justify Cersei ever being capable of harming them because Dany should have won as soon as she appeared in Westeros.

Like the Ice Zombies at least had supernatural ice power so stabbing a dragon with magic ice an element antithetical to them makes sense.

Those things wouldn't work on novel dragons.

[up] The only time dragons actually get killed is either by Eye Scream, something In Valyria that lives there now and gave a wound so grievous to the biggest baddest living dragon it took decades for him to die from the wound, and other dragons.

See, if you had said Kanji I'd have made all the persona 4 arena memes I can come up with, but I don't play Junpei on that one so I'm out of ideas.

So after playing P 4 G, Nocturne and IVA, I made athread on Reddit saying what I said earlier on here: you don't have to do everything yourself in Press Turn and that akes it so much more fun.

What I didn't realize until somebody replied with this post was

"P5 was better in this regard. I mean heck look at P 3 P. Only Akihiko had ANY debuffs, in fact he had ALL of them. Pretty much a must have in your party. Then you have Aigis who has ALL the teambuffs, again a must for your party. Uhh.. Jupei is the only team member who has a buff marakakuja ( but no heal ) which means your last slot is going to be yukari or ken... They really fucked up the party skills balance in P 3 P"

How lucky I was that Aigis, Akihiko and Mitsuru were my faves and thus were my main party in FES.

And hats off to P5 for remedying this problem both P3 and P4 shared. Guns are nice but having your party members actuallyable to contribute is better.
