Persona 5 was released in September in Japan and marked the JRPG series’ 20 year anniversary. Persona began as a spin off of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. The series differentiated itself where the games are more character driven. The series has become well known for stories involving teenagers addressing emotional duress and supernatural threats.
Fans of JRPGS can look forward to Persona 5 releasing February 14, 2017.
