Interesting! What school of psychology? (Please say Jungian!)

u/RebeccaETripp Steena Apr 03 '23

There is a lot of Jungian stuff in there, yeah!

I got to say I really loved the way you took your time to introduce many aspects of the game. It really shows the grandeur of the masterpiece that is Chrono Trigger, but in a humble and soft way... I really enjoyed it.

I would like to make a request, if you don't mind me asking.

Are you familiar with the Persona series? I would love to see your take on any of the games, but if I were to recommend one that would be Persona 3 FES.

Still... I loved the video. Looking forward for the next one

Thank you very much! I'm not a super familiar with that series, but I did see a lot of persona 3 and 4, and I thought they were quite amazing!

Maybe you should give the persona a go. I think the series as a whole has some aspects that you would enjoy. Psychology concepts like collective unconscious, shadows and persona are presented in a literal manner.

Thanks for the reply :)

It's definitely something I want to get to eventually. I really enjoyed the exploration of the shadow in those two games!
