Persona is a philosophical game that takes place in a world close to our own. It is a departure from the typical swords and sorcery and it delivers a tale of dreams the purpose of life and who we are as individuals. In Persona you have modern weapons like an Uzi and an AK-47. And instead of always fighting monsters you are given the opportunity to talk your way through a confrontation. By talking things out you can earn components of spells the more components you have the more powerful your spells become.
