For a game that's about living your life while not being held back by the fear of death, the fact the characters point a gun to their head and pull the triggers contradicts the crux of the story. I understand how it makes sense ultimately, where one shouldn't be afraid of dying, but I fail to see how by having Evokers look like guns enforces this point.
Yes, the characters pull the triggers to show they aren't afraid of death. To me, this is tasteless since people do this already and they sure aren't summoning Personas.
Yes, this is a work of fiction. Yes, P3 is a fun game. Yes, it handled its themes well for the most part, but goddamn telling someone its okay to acknowledge death while having a gun (or in this case, a gun-like object) to their head is fucking awful.
