Any game that lets you do that is OK in my book.īeyond that though, Persona 4 is superior to Persona 5 in every way. I also like that you can date your hot teacher, who also works as a maid prostitute.

Obviously, it’s a better-looking game, and on most days, I’d say that P5 has the better soundtrack of the two. It’s a good game, and in some respects, it’s better than its predecessor. RELATED: What the hell is Shin Megami Tensei and why does it have mainstream appeal?īefore you get all worked up, the title of this article is not “Why Persona 4 is good, and Persona 5 is bad.” Just because I like P4 more, that doesn’t mean I think P5 is worthless. It’s great to see this cult classic reach a wider audience, because in my opinion, it’s an even better game than its sequel. The latter is an especially big deal, because before now, P4G was a PS Vita exclusive, which means that approximately 47 people got to play it. In recent years though, this dungeon crawling RPG / teenage life sim has gained more mainstream success, mainly due to the popularity of the most recent entry, Persona 5.Ģ020 might be the biggest year of all for the series, with not only the release of Persona 5: Royal, the definitive edition of the game, but also the Steam release of Persona 4: Golden. Starting out as a spin-off of the Shin Megami Tensei series, the Persona games developed a cult following over the last two decades.

I know those both seem like wild, unattainable fantasies, but that’s exactly the life you live when you play the Persona games. Not only that, but you’re also a high school student with lots of friends, some of whom are girls who want to date you. Imagine that you are an interdimensional warrior, going to battle with demons in other worlds to protect your own.
