Before you comment I need to point out that I have NOT finished Persona 4 and am up to Adachi's dungeon. This post is mostly to sum up my current feelings about the game at this point in the game.

I noticed that from the day that Nanako is kidnapped onwards, the plot became something that I could describe accurately with the phrase "Shit just got real". This is a common trend to most types of entertainment, such as movies, games and tv shows, and is called a climax, but this game's entire atmosphere has completely changed from what I had felt at the beginning of the game.

The feelings of the NPCs are annoying me right now as a result of the fog because of a trope in some games I would like to call "End-Game Syndrome" where the NPCs will only talk about their inevitable demise and won't actually say anything useful. An example of this in another game could be Mega Man Star Force 2 but I don't expect that you've played it.

I confirmed that this game had changed when Adachi pointed out that this time I would not only be saving other people, but the ENTIRE WORLD... kinda. I had this same feeling during my playthrough of Dead Rising at the point with the bombs.

I don't know if I'm making much sense but this is a common to most JRPG's with the plot taking a rather dramatic twist to involve the end of the world or something of equal epicness. I don't actually expect you to understand this drabble that I wrote in a matter of minutes but... yeah... I don't have a finishing statement here. Damn.

UPDATE: I have now finished Persona 4, the true ending I mean.
