    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona is, by modern RPG standards, a remnant of the past that simply can't stand up to today's offerings. Read more

    • Intriguing story with two distinct paths to follow, New, more authentic localization.
    • Tedious combat, Boring, ugly environments, Absurdly high random-encounter rate.
