Persona is an unlikely candidate for blockbuster status. The role-playing series debuted on the original PlayStation in 1996, but didn’t really start cultivating a dedicated following, particularly in the West, until the release of Persona 3 a decade later. That game was initially striking because of its shocking imagery — high school students shooting themselves in the head with magical guns to summon monsters — but it also proved to be an addictive, arresting, and stylish combination of dungeon crawling RPG and life-sim. P3, along with its sequel, starred a group of teenagers fighting evil in their down time, while still dealing with the rigors of young adulthood. It’s a series where you can fight off a monstrous demon and go out for ramen with your crush all in the same day. P4 proved so popular that it spawned multiple spinoffs, including two fighting games and a music game.

The gradual growth of the series comes to a head next month when Persona 5 launches on the PS4 and PS3. Anticipation is high. Not only is it the first entry in the series in nearly a decade, but Persona 5 is also, along with last year’s Final Fantasy XV, part of an increasingly rare breed of big-budget RPGs from Japan. Its Japanese release date was announced during a lengthy live stream in front of Tokyo Tower, and for the first time, the game will launch on two platforms simultaneously. The quirky franchise is poised to expand beyond its cult following — and from what I’ve played so far, it’s the most welcoming entry in the franchise to date.
