Revelations: Persona

Revelations: Persona is a role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus. It is the first installment in the Persona series, which in turn is a subseries of the Megami Tensei series, and the first role-playing installment in the series to be released in the West. The game was ported to the Playstation Portable under the title Shin Megami Tensei: Persona, with new cutscenes and a revised localization. The story revolves around a group of high school students who are confronted with a series of supernatural incidents. After playing a fortune-telling game, the group gains the ability to summon Personas, the multiple selves within them. Under the guidance of Philemon, a benevolent being that represents the subconscious of humanity, the group uses this ability to compete against various forces that threaten the world. The game revolves around the characters navigating through their city's environment and fighting enemies with the help of their personas. As the game progresses, the player can create new personas for battle using spell cards that he/she receives in battle or when talking to enemies.
