Persona 1, also known as Revelations: Persona or Shin Megami Tensei Persona, is one of the most debated JRPGs on the PlayStation. Often considered a middling experience compared to later entries, this classic Atlus RPG has a reputation for being far from the top 10 best PlayStation RPGs of all time, but is that really true?
As 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the Persona series by Atlus, I took a deep dive into Persona 1 to analyze every aspect of the game. From story and gameplay to its connections with the wider Shin Megami Tensei universe, this video explores whether Persona 1 actually has a good story and if it’s worth revisiting today.
Turns out, the answer is YES, but you have to dig for it. This video compiles the complete Persona 1 story, pulling from multiple sources including game routes, supplemental materials, and connections to other Shin Megami Tensei titles. The goal is to present the ultimate Persona 1 experience, covering everything you need to understand the full narrative, so if you've always been interested in playing the game but never got around to it, this video could be a good substitute.
This includes analysis of both the original PlayStation version and the PSP remake, comparing differences in localization, gameplay, and story presentation going over all the endings and the pros and cons to each release.
If you're a fan of later titles like Persona 3, Persona 4, or Persona 5, this retrospective shows where it all began.
