Persona 1, along with its other classic Atlus peers, is something I feel video game developers should study when it comes to creating an engrossing atmosphere. This game sets up a world that even just within minutes is so interesting it's hard to not get invested. The best part is that the opening impression is not a false representation, and this game is packed with so much creativity and unique flair to its world, story, themes, characters, atmosphere, and gameplay ideas that it is absolutely unforgettable. I found myself absolutely captivated by this game during my time with it, and it certainly will be one I revisit and think about constantly. Instant classic material.

I will note that I used the PS1 ost patch, as I find it to compliment the intended vision considerably better than the PSP's music- even if the PSP soundtrack is quite good as well in its own right.
