'''''Persona''''' is a series in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]]. Beginning with {{Link|Game|mip}} for the PlayStation in 1996, the series initially began as a follow-up to {{Link|Game|smtif}}, itself a side-story in the {{Link|Series|smt}}. Like its precursor, the ''Persona'' series predominately follows a party of high schoolers. However, instead of recruiting and commanding demons, characters use [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]]s—the manifestation of their personality or inner thoughts. In addition to party members having their own unique Personas, demons can also be summoned as Personas at the recurring [[Velvet Room]]. From {{Link|Game|p3}} and onward, the main series games adopted a calendar system where events occur as days pass while the protagonist balances their day-to-day life with their life as a Persona user, as well as the addition of [[Social Link]]s where the protagonist can befriend characters who correspond with an [[Arcana]]. This system also adds a dating sim mechanic with some characters.
'''''Persona''''' is a series in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]]. Beginning with {{Link|Game|mip}} for the PlayStation in 1996, the series initially began as a follow-up to {{Link|Game|smtif}}, itself a side-story in the {{Link|Series|smt-}}. Like its precursor, the ''Persona'' series predominately follows a cast of mainly high-schoolers confronted by a paranormal mystery.


''Persona'' was one of the first ''Megami Tensei'' series to see release outside of Japan. The first game, ''Megami Ibunroku Persona'', was released in North America under the title '''''Revelations: Persona''''', where it saw significant localization changes.
Unlike in {{Link|Game|smtif}}, instead of recruiting and commanding demons, characters summon [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]]s, manifestations of their inner self, to fight and assist them in battle. These manifestations correspond with a Tarot [[Arcana]], with each party member having a uniquely designed Persona exclusive to them. However, the protagonist, or any party member (in {{Link|Game|p1}} and the ''Persona 2'' duology), has the ability to obtain different Personas, which are represented as Demons from the ''Megami Tensei'' franchise. Unique enemies, known as [[Shadow (Persona)|Shadows]] also are present, being unique enemy designs,{{Exp App|P3|P4|P4G|P5S|P3R}} "Shadow Selves"{{Exp App|P2IS|P2EP|P4|P4G|P4A|P5|P5R|P5S}} which are twisted representations of a character's desires, or depictions of demons from the ''Megami Tensei'' franchise you encounter during gameplay.{{Exp App|P5|P5R|P5S}}
 
From {{Link|Game|p3}} onward, the franchise had a soft reboot, adopting a different structure revolving around a [[Calendar|calendar system]] where events occur as days pass. The protagonist must balance their day-to-day life with their life as a Persona User, usually involving specific deadlines to complete content, and specific times characters and events are available. This change also introduced [[Social Link]]s ([[Confidants]] in {{Link|game|P5}} and {{Link|game|P5R}}), a system where the protagonist can befriend characters who are related to a specific Arcana, including party members. Each social link corresponds with an Arcana; this system also facilitates a dating sim mechanic with certain characters.

The first game, ''Megami Ibunroku Persona'', was released in North America under the title '''''Revelations: Persona''''', where it saw significant localization changes. ''Persona'' was also the first ''Megami Tensei'' spinoff franchise to drop the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' subtitle in terms of branding outside of Japan with {{Link|game|P4G}}.
 
As of March 5, 2024, the series has sold over 22 million copies<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |translquote= |author=Jeffrey Rousseau |url= [https://www.gamesindustry.biz/persona-series-moves-over-22m-units-news-in-brief Persona series moves over 22m units - News-in-brief]|archive=[https://web.archive.org/web/20240309221901/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/persona-series-moves-over-22m-units-news-in-brief Series Sales Archive] |published=March 5, 2024 |retrieved= March 9, 2024|site=[[Wikipedia:Gamesindustry.biz|GamesIndustry.biz]] |type= }}</ref>
