Characters

The beauty of the Persona series isn’t just found in the stylish graphics, fun characters, and glorious turn-based battle system. No, there is a flashier and arguably more stunning aspect of the Persona games: the soundtracks. The music is half of the fun in the Persona games, giving its identity and setting it apart from […]

Atlus JRPGs are a tale of characters across both the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games. I will admit that from my time checking out every single mainline game in both series and most spin-offs that some games have better characters than others. One such game is Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs The Soulless Army,

Ever since first playing Persona 5 at its worldwide release in 2017, I knew its cast was one of the most powerful elements of the masterful JRPG. The Persona characters you meet in the game are phenomenal and arguably better than nearly every other video game out there. Such is even the case for side

Ever since it was first released in the mid-1990s, the Persona series has been filled with various secrets and the like.

For many Persona fans out there, their first bout with the series was Persona 5. This game was, in many ways, the title that popularized the series on a mainstream level for video games, partially because of the star of this Akira Kurusu guide. I would consider my jumping on point in the series to

There are many predictable parts of the Persona series, such as the main character being the wild card and an attractive attendant guiding you along the way in the Velvet Room. Each of the mainline games, especially starting with Persona 3, has had a gorgeous member of the same family tending to the protagonist’s needs.

There are a lot of issues in video games that we do not think about at first but crop up as time goes on. One such problem is establishing a canon name for a character the player is free to name as they like. Usually, this is not an issue, but Atlus slipped up when

Before there ever was Joker, the Phantom Thieves, or even the gorgeous locks that someone like Yukiko had, there was the beautiful head of hair that Jun Kurosu had in Persona 2. He was certainly up there in the original trilogy of Persona games for the best-looking character of them all. At least, that is
