Shin Megami Tensei
PERSONA

You’re in for a pretty good game that’s very easy. Battle themes will get stuck in your head. By far the least good of the series, but it’s alright.

I'm currently going through the 1st game and you're in for five different adventures and themes. P1 is SMT but different, P2 is the follow up, P3 is about death, symbolics and the end of the world (spooky), P4 is basically Prof. Layton with combat and P5 is about youth and fighting a society of lazy asses who's slowly destroying itself.

A pretty mediocre game. I recently played through it (both stories) and I think I would've enjoyed it a lot more had there not been that dog shit level requirement for getting new demonbros. Also if you ever play Persona 2 and its sequel, don't play the PSP ports. They're ridiculously easy, like "last boss deals no damage" easy.

Persona 1 is about how people's perceptions of (You) can drastically differ and form the whole. This is both shown in how the characters use their Personas as literal weapons and in how one of the central characters goes through something of an existential crisis.
Persona 2 expands on the concept by introducing how rumours can shape these perceptions and the potential effects it can have on reality, albeit highly exaggerated.

Is the PSP Port really that bad?

Its fine

the ps1 versions aren't much better

Music is shit. Replaced battle themes with jpop

P1 is the only game in the series to truly take a psychological case study of one of the main characters and integrate it with the dungeons/plot. P2 is super cool with the rumors fucking up reality and having Hitler death robots, but 3 and 5 have basically nothing to do with the series themes, and 4 only touches things tangentially.

You dropping the marathon around Karma/Kama Palace.

>Dropping the game at the best song on the ost

It's one of my favorites in the series, but it's got a lot of problems. The main quest is only 40 hours. You'll enjoy it if the story and characters grab you.
Check out the PS1 version once you finish it so you can get a good comparison about the changes made to the PSP port.

LIVE WITH BALL AND MANLY

I dropped the game after missing some Mirror Shards in a stupid way, can't remember the details now.
