The Persona series has been a series well received by many people. The Persona series started off pretty similar to the Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) games but Persona 3 broke that trend and allowed the series to have a more unique aesthetic and play style. Atlus replaced the difficulty that SMT was so famous for with light visual novel elements, allowing the player to go on dates, attend a classroom and live a normal life when they aren’t off to save their little piece of the world. The combination worked well enough that it left people wanting more. Ever since people finished off Persona 4 no more than six years ago they have been looking forward to its sequel. It wasn’t so long ago that Persona 5 was announced for the Playstation 3.
Since its release in 2016, the "Persona 5" series has won numerous game awards around the world and received enthusiastic support from everyone, with cumulative sales of over 10 million units worldwide.
In the world of video games, there’s no genre quite as notoriously difficult to get into as the Turn-Based RPG. Lets review a few RPGs you can play if you’ve tried the biggest and best in turn-based combat and never found it appealing.
Sea of stars while seeming pretty good so far doesn't belong in the top rpg discussion. There's way better ones. I'd tell them to play star ocean 2. One of the best non turn based rpgs ever. It has everything.
And if the list is limited to just turn-based RPGs, I can think of better ones to add to this list. You have the Dragon Quest series, the Trails series…Persona 5 Royale is on the list but why limit it to just that one? P3 and P4 were great as well.
The Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, or the Shadow Hearts games has decent enjoyable turn based combat system.
The Persona 5 sub-series has surpassed 9 million copies worldwide and now contributes to over 50% of the series' total sales.
Would be plus+1 more if they'd settle the fk down and stop re releasing it. I'm waiting on the definitive one over here
It's ok, I bought 4 to your zero, they don't need your pity purchase. Every version was definitive and has their own perks.
Every game in the Persona series restores my faith in games a little bit more...year after constant year of Madden and CoD and non-innovative titles it is nice to see a game like Persona.
Imma go play Persona 3 now.
Persona games seem like something I'd play sometime. Just too much of a time investment right now. I tried getting into Animal Crossing New Leaf... and after wasting time there I don't think I will play really long games for awhile. Really sucks so many good long games, but the time it takes to play one OK long game. I could play 10 Really awesome shorter games. Reason I think JRPG genre is dying, not enough time for most gamers.
I cannot wait to see Mara on PS3!
