This is a story you’ve heard before. A story about teens rebelling against humanity, not wanting to be anything but stepping stones by the adults that tower over them. Though there is something…. Different from a glance. While things may seem similar, I can tell you this is a whole new story of itself. So why not sit back, relax, and take your time, baby. PERSONA 5: ANOTHER STORY takes place seven years before the initial events of Persona 5 and is in a universe where the characters seem to share names with people you think you may already know of. However, no one in this story has any relation to a canon character unless stated otherwise. Sojiro Sakura has moved to Shibuya Japan by his parents to live with his Aunt Futaba. Not because he’s a criminal, but because his parents are in crippling debt. Though little do they realize that the city they send their son to just so happens to be the same city where the most powerful man in Japan lives. One who assists those in debt, only to become more and more ruthless the longer they miss their pay dates. A man who uses this as a way to be seen as a God by the people beneath him - because well, that’s exactly what he wants to be, and that’s very well how they seem to worship him. There he’s granted with a strange application, one that can lead those to another world where you can change those with distorted hearts. Through his school life and ventures through this new world does he make countless new friends, ones he never seen himself making before. And through this group of friends does he form what is soon referred to as THE PHANTOM THIEVES OF HEART. Swearing to change the hearts of the masses of these rotten adults. All while learning more about eachother along the way and paving the way soon for another generation of thieves.
