    Please note this is just my personal preference, all the games are fantastic and Love them all. This is just for fun dont take it too seriosly. Ps. I know persona 2 has two parts i put it together due to the limited space I have on these videos. I like IS slightly more than EP. There is an entire video ranking every game up until 2022 if anyone wants to look it up.

      @Soliera I’m really mixed between P3P and FES, on combat alone. While having direct control over your whole party is great, there’s a certain charm to them not being able to be controlled and only “directed” through tactics, it kinda makes them feel more like their own people, if that makes sense.

    Persona 1: where friends came come from many different types of backgrounds, weither you're rich or poor, smart or dumb, as long as you're reasonable with those around you, anything can be done with the power of teamwork
    Persona 2: No matter what; through Ones love for another can go beyond space and time, dimentions even.
    Persona 3: Even with what's gone on in the characters' lives, weither they might dislike someones ideas or values, they're all one big happy disfunctional family.
    Persona 4: through thick and thin, a person is still a person, you can't change who you are. you need to get back up and do your best, help others and treat others the way you'd like to be treated
    Persona 5: Adults bad.

    I loved persona five. Though the friendship wasn’t as “ Organic “ as the persona 4 gang, I personally feel that was intentional. I mean, Chile knew Yukiko and Yusuke before the game. Yukiko knew Kanji, etc. all of them were familiar. But with persona five? The only ones that are somewhat familiar are Ryuji and Ann. I feel the game is trying to show that people can become friends solely on what they find common ground on: all feeling like absolute cast outs by society. And finding comfort in each other to make a place for themselves.

    1. P2 Duology (especially Eternal Punishment)
    2. P3
    3. P5
    4. P4
    5. P1
    P1 = 100% best soundtrack. Kama Palace + Eriko's Theme + Post Disaster City 1 solos all other tracks in the franchise.
    P2 = Best characters + Best story. Not a single playable character I actually dislike, and they're all able to really develop throughout the story, without their development revolving mainly 'cause of the main characters' presences like in P4/5 + without social links in general. Sob worthy story, thought about it days after finishing P2EP. (wrote extra much here, maybe I'm biased)
    P3 -- Best atmosphere & theme. Feels really clean, and it's probably got the best story after P2. Best vibes out of all games
    P4 -- Best setting & Slice of life. Like the location of it all, rural towns over big cities. It feels like the most realistic game out of the modern Persona games like social--simulator wise, 'cause you get to experience having friends in school and living with a kind--of family in a lot more normal way than P3/5.
    P5 -- Obviously best gameplay. TBH liked the shuffle time in the two previous games, but y'know, lots of new "puzzles" and the non--auto--generated palaces. Really good mechanics, but y'know, it's the most modern one out of all Persona games so it makes sense.
