If you’re looking for a blast of pure, progressive, post-rock energy, te’ is, and always has been, ready to pump you up.  Well into their second decade, the energetic Japanese quintet occupies a small slice of the genre, shared by only a few ~ Zankyo label mates Mudy on the Sakuban, mouse on the keys and a few others.  There’s more than a hint of hardcore in here, even some punk, and a whole lot…

*head spinning* LOL okay thank you. i shall continue my own research. i feel like there aren’t that many ~good~ anime type video games and that’s why i like the idea of persona. i could just be clueless tho

there’s an anime too right? do you recommend it

There are like... 4 separate things.  Persona:  Trinity Soul, Persona 4 the Animation, Persona 4:  Golden the Animation, and the Persona 3 Movies.  Oh, wait, there’s also the prologue one shot for Persona 5...

Trinity Soul is... Don’t watch it.  Love yourself.

Persona 4 the Animation is okay from what I remember.  If you don’t wanna spend ~60 hours with a game then just deal with this 25 episode anime since I don’t think there are too many discrepancies between the game and the anime.

Persona 4 Golden the Animation is... meh... If I wanted this type of cliche, I’d just watch a different anime.  This series is 12 episodes, buuuuuuuuuuut it only focuses on a character introduced in Persona 4:  Golden, Marie.  It’d be less time consuming to just watch videos of her Social Link and look up a playthrough of her dungeon.

The Persona 3 Movies are great.  I love them.  You can find the second movie on Netflix, but the other 3 or 4 you need to scour the internet for (or just go to anilinkz.io).  Much like with the Persona 4 anime, watching the movies can save you a lot of time and I don’t think there were many, if any, vital changes.

Honestly it’s such a big franchise I just get overwhelmed, like with final fantasy. Idk where to start -_-

To my knowledge, none of the stories are directly connected to one another unless otherwise stated:

Persona 2:  Innocent Sin has a direct sequel called Persona 2:  Eternal Punishment

Persona Q is a sequel???????????????? to Persona 3 & 4 (I use the term “sequel” loosely since it’s set during the events of the games while being unconnected to the events thus having no bearing on either game)

Persona 4 Arena is a sequel to Persona 4 and Persona 3

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is the sequel to Persona 4 Arena

Persona 4:  Dancing All Night is a sequel to Persona 4

Other than that, they’re all just set in the same universe so there will sometimes be nods to previous games.

Honestly, in my opinion, just start with 3, 4, or 5.  1 and 2 were pretty forgettable to me.

honestly i need to investigate these persona games i might be missing out
