This is the western localized version of the original Persona game with character sprites and names altered to appease western audiences. The changes are rather unnecessary but I think dont really impact the game. If anything, it makes the dialogue funnier.

Persona 1 is like Cock and Ball torture in a videogame. It's somewhat enjoyable but really hurts and gets tiring after a while. The formations in combat was a massive drawbnack and added frustrating depth to a turn-based style game. Demon negotiations are very hit or miss and are like spinning a roulette wheel, especially with the insane amount of dialogue options to take with them.

The story is rather simple, but very enjoyable and charming. The characters are often hilarious with some slight nonsensical reactions or tendency to be 1 note.

I actually very much enjoyed this game and I hold it to a higher standing compared to Persona 5 (the only other and first persona game I've played). The combat got mad annoying and is a major drawback, but the charm of the game kept me glued to it throughout its entirety.
