best character writing in the persona series hands down, not a competition, nobody else could even get close save for megami ibunroku persona. how do i even start? this probably isn't the game to put on GOG first (both p1 and p2is have info this game sorely needs in order to be enjoyed at its best; either or is fine, but going in w/o either is a recipe for disaster), but it absolutely needs to be on GOG as an example of some of atlus's best writing of adult characters exploring what it means to discover who they are years after they chose their path in life. coming of age is a moment in time, but growth is a lifelong process that means there's always room for better, always room for change. every character in this game has regrets and grief, and they want to become better. they embody a range of feelings towards the many parts of themselves; one character rejects the person they were bc of a life-altering trauma, only to ignore that their 'new' self is rooted in a desire for revenge, w nothing after that catharsis to live for, leaving them a shell of jaded bitterness and snappy one-liners all so they can run from their suicidality. another character leaps from vice to vice, unhappy w the life they've chosen but feeling trapped in it so they can help those around them, ignoring their own misery. the main character's writing is wrapped up in facades and reading btwn the lines, and if you look hard enough, she's living for everyone else so she won't have to face herself. these are compelling characters unlike anything atlus has done since w the persona series; it's no wonder ppl keep asking for another game w an adult cast. i can't recommend this game enough, especially to those w discontent in adulthood or eager for a different take on the jrpg formula. this game is Different. i have my gripes w it, but there's no denying it's something special, and should be preserved and enjoyed by so many more gamers given its niche status on PS1 in the west. GOG, all i ask,,,!
The best classic persona game. Great characters, improves the mechanics of the previous entry and an amazing story. Would love to see this be brought back and made playable without the need for an emulator.
An amazing game I had to play in the PS1 after finishing other Persona games. The gameplay Is good AND the characters and story are a must, everyone should give this game a true.
This was my first entry into the Persona series and introduction to the Shin Megami Tensei universe, which still holds as one of my favorite game franchises of all time. Picked it up back in the day just because the artwork looked interesting and I had no idea what I was in for.
The art, story, characters, humor, atmosphere, music, and gameplay were all refreshingly unique and interesting in a way that changed how I viewed games. It was the beginning to a life long love for the whole Shin Megami Tensei universe of games.
The original 3 persona games are vastly different experiences from the modern 3-5 and especially their most recent ports. Curious fans should at least have the OPTION to check out the original 3 without having to resort to ROMS and fan translations (no hate against them, but when the series is this popular, we shouldn't NEED to resort to the goodwill of hard-working fans).

Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Survival

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
XenogearsXenogears follows protagonist Fei Fong Wong and several others as they journey to uncover the truth behind mysterious, cabalistic entities operating in their world. The principles and philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung influence the plot, character design, and world of Xenogears. Additionally, the symbols, theological concepts, and devotional practices of several world religions are represented in fictionalized forms in the game. Major psychological themes are the nature of identity and human memory, particularly as these relate to the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder. The relationship between humanity and machines is central to the game's plot, as indicated by the presence of giant robots dubbed "gears," which almost each playable character can control.Fantasy Science fiction

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
