The impact of the Persona series cannot be understated, as it has helped many people with its portal of self and ego. But that always wasn’t the case as before the release of the 3rd game in the series it was only known as the lighthearted spin-off of the SMT series and while that statement held merit, it would soon be proven wrong. The 3rd game introduced the series to the Western audience, the 4th popularized it in online gaming forms, and the 5th would go down in history as one of the most popular and successful games by its developer Atlus ever. Why you might ask? Simple it allowed you to roleplay as a delinquent Japanese student who the world and the system are against. Also, did I mention you get to rip off your mortal Persona and dawn the monicker of a phantom thief who steals the vile hearts of criminals? Well, forget about that part since the majority of the fanbase loves the socializing school aspect and not using your powers to kill the manifestation of the creator god. And in the community defense why would they care, it's not like gamers have been killing gods in games since the Final Fantasy days. So if you wish to witness this once-in-a-lifetime game then do give Persona 5 Royal a try.
