Suicide animation for persona summoning is disturbing

[侍Kage]

I really like persona games, my first one was Persona 5 royale and it was such a great game. I was really excited for this one, I'm playing on game pass again and it already captured me. However there is one thing that disturbs me which is suicide animation just to summon personas. You see this animation on every combat for everyone, yes it's harmless but the animation itself is disturbing. I don't know why choose this one out of all the possibilites. I want to keep playing but this animation turning me off so badly. Anyone else find this disturbing?

Maybe once or twice - but after 18 years? On multiple playthroughs?

I hope this is just bait but this is a remake of an old game and this is how it's always been and you should have known the fact before buying this game. Basically if it disturbs you so much you should refund / not play.

I don't think so, there's actually a reason for this choice.
From the wiki:
> The Evoker is a symbol of death, accepting death and knowledge of mortality, which often arise during the teenage years. It also acts as a reminder of how the members of SEES are aware that they can die while fighting Shadows. This is why Yukari Takeba has difficulty using her Evoker: she is afraid of death, and comments that the predicament is like "losing innocence." This is also why the protagonist has no difficulties using it: he does not view death as scary.

Death is the main theme of this game, so that makes totally sense they do that.

Next up: "why is everyone a coffin?"

A bit.

Although, considering all the story beats, it's kind of fitting. This animation wouldn't fit in any other Persona game, but here, it's quite on point. I don't know if, it Persona 3 did not have it as such, ever, it would feel like something was amiss, but I do feel that if it was removed, it'd feel strange.

No one tell him what the collar is doing when he gets to that part.

Persona 5 had unnecessary guillotines and forced you to use it on small children, and you find *this* bad?

Actually I consider shooting during battles pretty weak and not that impactful. It could have been more juicy.

The only disturbing part is suicide animation. Nothing else, the animation. I understand it is not real or something like that, its just a game but the animation itself kinda disturbing about it.
