Unlike in ''Megami Tensei'' and ''Shin Megami Tensei'', the ''Persona'' series does not involve recruiting demons to fight for you. The player characters still carry a firearm and melee weapon like in ''Shin Megami Tensei'', but magic comes from [[Persona (Concept)|Personae]] as opposed from demons. Like demons, these Personae can be fused in order to create more powerful Personae. In addition, the lunar phases are important, which is a common theme in MegaTen games. Furthermore, while the ''Persona'' series uses the real-world currency, yen, or dollars, ''Shin Megami Tensei'' series' currency are always identified with Macca. |

Unlike in Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei, the Persona series does not involve recruiting demons to fight for you.

Like demons, these Personae can be fused in order to create more powerful Personae. In addition, the lunar phases are important, which is a common theme in MegaTen games. Furthermore, while the Persona series uses the real-world currency, yen, or dollars, Shin Megami Tensei series' currency are always identified with Macca.
Persona features an angled third-person perspective, but dungeons are still navigated using Megami Tensei's first person view. Since the release of Persona 2: Innocent Sin, the first-person dungeon exploration has been removed.
