Persona (series)

The Persona series is a spin-off series in the Megami Tensei family of games which began with the release of Megami Ibunroku Persona in 1996. There are currently six main titles in the Persona series. All the games take place in the same universe and share certain common elements. The term "persona" is Latin for "mask."

The series is inspired by Jungian psychology, from which it takes its name, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, as the Persona characters and Persona Users are reminiscent of Stands and Stand Users.
