One gamer that was secretly battling severe depression and anxiety took some valuable lessons from the Persona series and used it to turn things around for himself.
TheGamer's Meg Pelliccio says: "Atlus has just launched ports of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden to modern consoles, allowing old fans a chance to take a trip down memory lane while newbies can experience them for the very first time. Persona 5 and Royal saw the fanbase boom, so it’s no surprise that lots of fans have yet to check out these earlier titles. As much as I enjoy and would recommend both, I can’t help feeling that this launch missed the opportunity to settle an old score once and for all."
Neither does Tales of the Abyss
At least P3 is playable on modern platforms whereas TotA was only rereleased on 3DS
Started it this weekend, for a min I thought there was no 3d exploration until I got into the dungeon. Just a weird choice with the static pic.
The Switch would definitely benefit from Persona games, but at the end of the day, it doesn't need them for fans to scratch the itch.
At the end of the day Atlus/Sega can put Persona on whatever platform they want. Their business and their choice.
I mean techincally there are Persona games on Switch. Just not the core series. That being said, sales would definitely benefit from the Japanese market Switch owners if they ever decided to put them on there.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"The first of the Persona 25th anniversary announcements will come in September, as early as the 1st of the month. Which will start a series of 7 announcements, all the way up to Autumn 2022. With the announcements coming as early as tomorrow, I thought it would be interesting to talk about what I think my be announced during all of it".
Surely a Persona 4 Golden is on the cards? I played about 5 hours worth years ago on the Vita. Would love to play it on a present-day console.
@curtain_swoosh. Yeah, I wouldn't mind the PC version but I have a crappy old Mac (better not say that too loud as I don't want it to hear me) so it can't run Parallels PC software. I'm sure a home version will come, someday.
I mean it's Atlus.
One would think that Persona 4 Golden would have gotten a console version together with the PC one. And if not for all consoles at least a Switch release.
So, yeah. I'm betting on nothing.
As excited as I am to see more Persona, I really want to know the status of Project Re Fantasy. It's been nearly five years since that game was announced and we know absolutely nothing about it outside of a teaser trailer.
As it's a persona specific event i doubt it will show up. But maybe. Probably a Sony event ingame reveal seems more likely.
Persona 6 and Persona 3 FES port to PC, I don't know what else to expect, I'd buy a port of P3 Fes to go with P4G.
that person might kinda need mental help cause persona story is dark and depressing specially 3
4 went more into light dark and more into humor
persona like serial experiment lain game and series caused a lot controversy in suicides in jp.
but good for him that he found him self out from hes depression and anxy
This is actually a really good article. Trust me you should definitely read this before commenting. Great to see a series like Persona helping someone out of a depression. It's one I would never expect to help someone especially Persona 3 with its dark atmosphere.
Hope the author gets more stable from now on. I can somewhat relate. :(
Goodluck!
