I think that he can be best compared to Chidori: both live their lives with the overwhelming knowledge of their imminent deaths, avoiding connection with others because of it. Shinjiro’s outlook on life is not as extreme as these characters, but can still be compared to them. The game tries to depict the dangers of not just accepting, but almost worshipping death through the Nyx cultists that show up later through the game. Persona 3 deals with the acceptance of our inevitable deaths, of course, but the enjoyment of the lives we have is a key part of this. However, I’d like to explain why I think it makes the story work better in other ways. I completely get why people don’t like that change, and think it cheapens the game’s messages of death or ruins Akihiko’s arc. The changes that Persona 3 Portable made to Shinjiro and Akihiko’s arcs by allowing you to save Shinjiro from death are understandably controversial. Spoilers for Persona 3 up to October 4th.
