Welcome, Guest

Welcome to my fansite for the 1997 game Megami Ibunroku Persona by ATLUS, also known as Shin Megami Tensei: Persona, Revelations Persona, or Persona 1.

I made this site as a repository of knowledge about the game. Existing Persona 1 discussion is scattered across various blogs and forums, buried in Discord servers, and is often drowned out by discussion on the newer games. I wanted a space to collect, archive, and showcase information about the roots of the Persona series and tell everyone why it's still worth a look.

This is a non-profit, fan-created archive to preserve the history of this classic video game. The Persona series and associated media is the property of ATLUS.
