Scariest Video Game Moments in Non-Horror Games - #5: Persona 3 - The Reaper


Persona 3 is one of my favorite RPGs (definitely my favorite in the SMT series). It deals with dark themes, but in general, it isn't actually scary. Its one scare comes when you're exploring Tartarus and one of various conditions are met, including spending too long on one floor (which I have a tendency to do because I like to explore). Once you hear chains rattling, it's time to run for the stairs to the next floor because the Reaper is looking for you. What makes this enemy so terrifying is that at lower levels, it's almost impossible to defeat it. Your only option is to run away. It's best to avoid the Reaper until later on in the game when you have access to stronger personas and your stats are higher.
