Persona ish games?

[Segata]

I first played SMT with IV and since played a few games in the series. not many but a few. I first played Persona with Persona 4 last year. I know that Persona is unique in it's genre. Maybe nothing quite like it. I am looking for games that can still scratch the need of something like it.

I know these games are not exactly like Persona but for me meet enough criteria.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE feels like Persona lite. Granted no school tests Calnder or social links but there is still quite a bit of Persona in it's DNA.

Digimon Cyber Sleuth. I have never played or watched Digimon anything until this game. I know this is much closer to SMT than Persona but surface level stuff is there. Similar graphics. Teens. Modern Japan and all of them have Shibuya lol. (also like to see different games representation of Shibuya) It still scratches that itch.


I know Trails of Cold Steel has minor comparisons. Like High School social links calendar and tests. Still that game didn't scratch it for me. Great game tho.

Now I know I said these looked awful in the past but I am not totally against trying them. Akiba series. I want someone here is they would describe what makes them fun. Would they scratch the itch?

Caligula on PSVita looks cool but I have no room on my Vita Memory card and the game is digital only in English.

Not that interested in Persona Q.


Anyone have thoughts on games that give them similar vibes even if not totally the same in gameplay?

AS far as the vibe goes, I think "The World Ends With You" feels very Persona-ish. Its gameplay is pretty different though, but it has music and setting that tickles similar fancies.

There's also Mind Zero for the Vita but from what i heard it's not very good.

We need a sequel to TWEWY. That game felt more to me like JSR the RPG than Persona IMO.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions pretty much IS Persona with a Fire Emblem mod.

It was my GOTY of 2016 I wish they would port it to Switch. Not like the IM thing needed a second screen as Persona 5 proves.

Part of me wishes they would because it's a great game that more people should experience, but part of me also wishes it would remain an amazing game exclusive to the Wii U.

I kind of want to pickup Tokyo Mirage Sessions even though I don't know if the Persona stuff interests me.
