So I've been playing Persona 3 for a little while now. I've reached about half-way through the second block. It's a pretty fun game but I think I'm craving something more.........epic? vast? Don't get me wrong, Persona 3 is a lot of fun. I love trying fulfill Elizabeth's requests. I like messing around with fusing personas. It's great but......
Maybe I'm just a sucker for stories where the whole world/universe hangs in the balance. Maybe the story doesn't seem important enough yet.
I think I also prefer it when the main character isn't "me" but an actual character. Even if they aren't totally compelling, I prefer it when the protagonist has their own story.
My favorite video-game series of all time is the xenosaga trilogy. Maybe I just keep trying to re-create that experience. So far I can't find anything that comes close.
