The Persona games are pretty good, if you can handle the difficulty.

it's good, and somewhat challenging, and a good entry point for the SMT series for a newcomer.

persona is easy as poo poo and boring, and the only good thing about it is spending 200 hours immersed in beautiful anime small town land with our best firends, chie, and yosuek, and yukiko, and that firebrand dilenquent with heart of gold kanji, and beautiful troubled rise, and the beautiful human being teddy man, and the transexual detective boy with the stupid hat, and your drukn uncle and his retard daughter, et al

Persona 1 and 2 (both versions of 2) are really different from 3 and 4 and several people I've tried to introduce them to who got into jrpg's through 4 hated them.

I love 2 but its combat system is really slow.

Persona 4 strikes me as a game that should have just been a visual novel, the dungeons seem really boring. But I guess the previous games have even slower combat? What a fuckload of rear end.

Well, I'm currently streaming the best jRPG ever on Steam, and that's all I stream these days, so that should say something about how awesome jRPGs are.

Is P4:Golden much different from P4? I played P4 on the PS2, but I didn't like it.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it. But it's probably harder to tell how much fun you'll have playing a JRPG just from watching it than any other kinda game.

yeah i played the psp remake one that has cool music like later games and QoL changes, and it merged the two translations

instead of Eriko being Ellen, she's listed as Eriko "Elly" Kirishima and just called Elly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCmNKiWDfew this is one of the only really bad persona 1 psp songs but it's just because you hear it waaaaaay too much

Play Nocturne before you bother with 4, and maybe if you like alternative styles and cool stuff, play Digital Devil Saga.

I plan to play digital devil saga and become one of the few to defeat Demifiend
