Persona

A spin-off of Atlus’s Megami Tensei franchise, Persona blends turn-based JRPG combat with life-simulation elements, often following high school students who summon manifestations of their psyche to battle supernatural threats. Since Persona 3, the series has become famous for its Social Link system, stylish art direction, and themes of identity, self-discovery, and the human subconscious. Its mix of dungeon crawling, relationship-building, and pop-culture flair has made it a global hit.
