A JRPG from the Persona/Megami Tensei franchise published by Sega/Atlus in 2016. The high school student protagonist, ‘Joker’, is accused of a crime and sent to Shibuya on probation. There, he discovers ‘Personas’ and joins a group known as the ‘Phantom Thieves’. Together, they delve into a hidden world born from society’s collective desires. As they unravel the mysteries behind the Metaverse and face off against powerful adversaries, the Phantom Thieves fight not only for their own freedom but also to expose the truth and change the hearts of those in power. There’s an anime adaptation for some reason but it isn’t very good.
Persona 5 goes all over the Tokyo metro. Landmarks like the Hachiko statue at Shibuya Station were faithfully recreated from their real life counterparts.
