P3 was my personal favorite

The issue with Persona is that PS2 Persona games look better while newer Persona games generally work better.
PS2 Persona games look best.
PS3/4/5 Persona games play best in many ways and overall have better QOL than PS2 Persona games.
If Sony brings back the PS2 Atlus could easily make "The Best" Persona game with PS2 looks that takes advantage of newer gameplay and QOL improvements.
 
I only played P5 so that is what i voted, but if it is not the best of the series, being the masterpiece that it is, i should maybe try the others.
 
Sorry to bump, but I had to share this with gaf's Persona fans. Morning Star me if not cool.

On Sunday, at the TGS2025 Sega Atlus booth, I had the good fortune to see Lyn sing several Persona songs live. She's an absolute force of nature. The way she belted out the ending of Life Will Change was incredible.
 
If I have to vote for one of these 3, then I gotta go with Persona 3. It is the last of these games that still had something of an adult dimension. Which was always my primary draw to the macro-SMT "series" in the first place.

My gosh P5 shocked me with its childishness, even when compared to other non-SMT JRPGs. They really just said "take it from me, parents just don't understand" for 100 hours.
 
Lmao the memes are real, Persona started at 3. :goog_relieved:

I played 5 first and that's my favorite. The others I didn't even finish, I really prefer the more gameplay-focused format of the other SMT games.

Still would love to try the Persona 2 duology some day.
