"Welcome to the Velvet Room. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter."

Assassin's Creed, Halo, screw'em. I'm Playing Persona
The game that taught me to feel
Listen, scrubs. I'mma shed light on a vastly underrated but amazing psychological Japanese RPG series called "Persona." Never heard of it? Maybe stop playing your annual, brotein-shake "Call of Battlefield" and try something new and engaging story-wise for once in your short lifetime. I'm talking about Persona, a series rooted in Jungian psychology, social life, and apocalyptic cues.
"Each character is so well fleshed out and memorable and provides a different take on the kinds of troubles that people face in society. The lessons that they learn as they face their true selves and have to come to grips with their fears and inner pain are lessons that everyone can learn from and many can relate to. "
Themes; what is a "Persona?" The persona, for Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, was the social face the individual presented to the world—"a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual." But how many games do you know combines Jungian psychology, Japanese school life, and urban legends?
What is a Persona exactly in this context? It's a physical manifestation of your true inner self that you can summon to battle demons/zombies/shadows/monsters with.
On top of great characterization, design, music, and themes, the Persona series has always been the underdog of gaming and it's ****ing amazing. Crazy that it's yet still unheard of for the most part: Why People Love Playing Persona
Persona borrows a lot from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" in that Personas are basically Stands and there's also heavy usage of tarot cards representing character personalities and struggles throughout the story.
Persona 4 also received an animated adaptation called "Persona 4: The Animation" and "Persona 4: The Golden Animation." Persona 3 would receive its animated adaptation via movie form in four parts.
Here are some examples of the series in a relative nutshell (in the following post(s):
