It is said that if you play the game “Persona,” you will be able to glimpse what your future will be like if you believe the rumor that is circulating around St. Hermelin High School. When a group of students, some of whom are excited, and others who are suspicious, try out the game, each of them has a very different experience. Soon enough, the city is turned completely upside down, and demons are free to wander the streets; the students’ newly discovered power of Persona is the only thing that can put things back in order. Whether you investigate Takahisa Kandori and the abuses of power he commits as the president of SEBEC or you dive into the curse of the Snow Queen that has tormented St. Hermelin for decades, you are in for a contemporary and profoundly psychological story. Remember who you truly are, and you’ll release the minds of those who have been tormented…
More than just another generic JRPG – Persona is a dark, philosophical, and challenging video game that places you in a contemporary day Japan that has descended into complete anarchy. Your reality has been disordered due to the presence of free-roaming demons, and you and your squad must fight against corruption, mental instability, and a parallel version of your world in order to restore order. A do-over on the PlayStation Portable – This remake features a completely rewritten script, a redesigned user interface, faster battles, an expanded soundtrack, and new in-game movies with voice work added specifically for the North American release. It also provides a second opportunity to experience the beginnings of the acclaimed Persona series. Unique chances for strategy – Your inner selves, which are referred to as Personas, are the key to advancing through the story and adding skills and an unbelievable level of complexity to your fighting strategies. Through the use of the Demon Negotiation system, which provides you with spell cards that may later be fused together to create new Personas, you can broaden and improve your collection.
