Shin megami tensei: 50 фото

Persona, previously marketed as Shin Megami Tensei: Persona outside of Japan, is a video game franchise primarily developed and published by Atlus, and owned by Sega. Centered around a series of role-playing video games, Persona is a spin-off from Atlus' Megami Tensei franchise.

Shin Megami Tensei: if... is set in the same continuity as the Persona and Devil Summoner series. According to Persona series director Katsura Hashino, if... provided the basis for the creation of the series, carrying over its high school setting and focus on adolescent troubles.

Therefore, they share many similarities, especially since Persona has its origins in Shin Megami Tensei. But these games also have many significant differences that can put fans of one title off from the other. They deliver a slightly different vibe, gameplay experience, and character build.

The two franchises are mostly made up of standalone stories, and don't share much continuity. However, the universes of the two franchises are similar, and they share many game mechanics and themes. Even if the Persona series has become an entirely new beast, its origins in Shin Megami Tensei still remain clear.

The Persona series is a spin-off of the SMT franchise. While the games do have the same concepts, the stories are not related. You could even play Persona 4, then Persona 2, then Persona 3 and then Persona 5 without ruining the story because they're not intricately woven together.
