10 Video Games That Killed Off The Wrong Character

When it comes to JRPGs there are very few that stand as unique as the Persona series. So with the franchise finally getting the mainstream recognition that it deserves in recent years, it's always important to look back at the aging members of its roster.

While there are a good few deaths in Persona 3 that stand out in their respective cut scenes, it's in the game play that Shinjiro Aragaki's stands out. When the player first gains access to Shinjiro as a party member he is an absolute tank, able to take hits and dish them out with equal ease and ability.

Then when he's unceremoniously shot in the heart and killed on a random night (unknowable without a guide). It means a lot of lost progress and a lot of extra grinding to be done.

Compared to other party members that are allowed to live - like Ken or Koramaru - it comes as a heavy blow when Shinjiro is killed. This article in no way condones the killing of video game children or dogs, but let's just say that Ken's whining attitude and mediocre skill set would not have been missed in comparison.
