Persona (Series)

Edit

The Persona series is a spin-off series in the Megami Tensei family of games which began with the release of Megami Ibunroku Persona in 1996. There are currently six main titles in the Persona series. All the games take place in the same universe and share certain common elements.

The term "persona" is Latin for "mask."

The series is inspired by Jungian psychology, from which it takes its name. Some of the themes and characters (like Philemon) are based on this.

It is also the most commercially and critically successful branch of the Megami Tensei franchise.

Differences Between Megami Tensei and Persona[]

Unlike most games of the Megami Tensei franchise, the Persona series does not involve the player recruiting demons to fight for them (if they do in Persona 2 and Persona 5, the demon technically becomes a Persona). While demons were present in the earlier games of the franchise, starting from Persona 3, many of the enemy "demons" are known as Shadows.

The player characters still carry a firearm and melee weapon like most of the Shin Megami Tensei games, but magic comes from Personas as opposed from demons. Like demons, these Personas can be fused in order to create more powerful Personas. In addition, the lunar phases are important as in most games from the Megami Tensei series, but the Persona series stops heavily relying on them on games after Persona 3. Furthermore, while the Shin Megami Tensei series' currency are prominently identified with macca, the Persona series uses yen as in the Devil Summoner series and the first Shin Megami Tensei game.

The first Persona features an angled third-person perspective outside of dungeons, but dungeons are still navigated using Megami Tensei's first person view, which was used in many old Shin Megami Tensei and Devil Summoner games. Since the release of Persona 2: Innocent Sin, the first-person dungeon exploration has been removed (with the exception of the spin-off titles Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth).
