WOAH I’m really happy to hear that! The Persona series are all modern day JRPGs, and are generally about a team of sorta outcast schoolkids that team up to confront otherworldly beings influenced by mythologies and psychology. Thematically, the games are always about exploring the human subconscious and psyche, with the characters discovering their true selves along the way ^__^^^ Also there’s usually a fair amount of tragedy and angst making up the backstory of a lot of characters.

I’ve only finished P3/4/5 and those games are generally the most accessible for newcomers to the series, being downloadable on PS3 and PS4. (here’s the openings for Persona 3, Persona 4, Persona 5 haha)

In terms of portability, P3P (the adaptation of the original P3 including a female protagonist!!) and P4G (a port of the original P4 along with new social links, characters, and events) are both available on PS vita.

Persona 1 and 2 are also available for download on PSP/PS Vita, and have more of a classic RPG feel. I really do recommend checking those out too, even if just as an LP, because their stories are incredibly amazing and tragic and heartfelt!!!

BASICALLY:

There’s a few gameplay elements that are iconic to the Persona series!! First is the appearance of personas, which are beings manifested from a person’s psyche, and will help you on your journey throughout the game both in combat and in your day-to-day interactions!! 

The second is the social link system, which was introduced in Persona 3, and is a character interaction element that lets you explore peoples stories in order to help with the growth of personas. And, of course, you can date your social links (although they are het gender locked haha persona Please Let Me Date The Same Sex).

The third is the duality between your every day life and your dungeon grinding!!! With the introduction of P3 came a calender system that helped you keep track of school and events, and dungeon-related aspects, and that continued on with P4/5. A major part of the games is having a balance between these two parts, and P5 really reinforces the whole normal life and hidden secret lifestyle.

Other things that deserve mention is now absolutely amazing the soundtracks are for the games, and how NUTS the gameplay bosses can be, you can play on any difficulty and and a single mistake could really mess up your combat strategies!!! The games have always been so stylish and aesthetically pleasing and have amazing characters!!

omg thank u so much!! i love you!!! and i find this funny bc this is type me;; i hope you enjoyed!!

It was a relatively windy day at U.A. and Shinsou happened to be staring at his crush, y/n, as usual.

They look so pretty and gentle in the breeze, Shinsou thought. Even though he wasn’t in your class, he tried to see you at least once a day to get some type of smile on his face. Today out of all days, was relatively busy and there were crowds forming on the lunch line.

You were making your way out of the line, until someone crashed into you, making you fall on your bottom, spilling your lunch all over the cafeteria floor. Shinsou quickly took note of the mishap, and stood up to help you up. However, it seemed like you didn’t really need help at all.

“Hey! Can you fucking watch where you’re going for fuck’s sake? Jeez, now I have to wait in that fuckshit of a line again” you angrily ranted. The person who bumped into you was taken back, considering their facial expression changed drastically. They muttered an apology as you waved them off, saying it was alright. You dust off your bottoms and proceed your way back to the line to get more food for yourself. 

Hi Oli! I wanted to thank you for the lovely message ☺️💕 you’re v sweet and kind!
