Persona 5
The Persona series, a spin-off of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, is a highly popular JRPG series that follows the high school setting of Shin Megami Tensei. The Persona series itself has seen worldwide acclaim, and Persona 5 is no different. The most recent addition to the Persona lineup follows a silent, player named protagonist as they transfer to a new school. The game itself features classic Persona elements, such as dungeon crawling and the Social Link system, while also reintroducing older elements such as the Negotiation system, which was pulled from the Shin Megami Tensei series, and did not appear after Persona 2, until now.
Persona 5 was an amazing seller for Sony, with the game being the largest Persona launch worldwide. In Japan it became the fastest selling Persona game since the original, Revelations: Persona. While Persona 5 is a big hit, it does not look like Atlus has any plans to release it on other platforms. PlayStation’s reputation as the home of JRPG games continues to bolster its popularity both in the west and Japan, rounding out its library and providing potential customers another reason to chose it over its rivals.
