Shin Megami Tensei has been one of the best JRPG series for a long time, known for its excellent gameplay, storytelling, and music, and has spawned several spinoffs, the most popular of which is the Persona series. In this video, I rank the Persona games in the order I think is worst to best.
Keep in mind that this list is just my opinion, and a game ranking low on this list doesn’t mean I hate the game. I love every game in the series, I just think some are better than others. If you disagree and want to tell me what you think, feel free to do so in the comments.

Hey, guys. Thank you all for supporting this video. By the suggestion of some commenters, I decided to change the title from "Worst to Best" to "Least Favorite to Favorite," because I don't want anyone to think that I'm the be-all-end-all authority on the quality of Persona games, especially when some of my opinions are unpopular. I couldn't say everything I wanted to about each game because I didn't want this video to be too long, so I'll probably make more videos going into more detail for each game in the future.
P4/P4G is my favourite (I'm a sucker for more rural settings) but I still really enjoyed P3, which was my first. Lots of people argue 5 is the best, and I can't argue there's a lot of advancements that make it objectively better than the others. Dungeon variety and execution (of the game itself, not of personas in the game) come to mind. I graduated in '06 so it felt kind of weird going back to high school in the form of a video game a year later. =p
I'm actually playing P5R right now and enjoying it. Never played anything pre-3, but I may give the 2 duology a look at, at some point.
It would be neat to see them give P3 the ultimate treatment — take the best elements of all of the games (in a way which makes sense story-wise) and put them into an ultimate port/remaster that they release on Steam. Hopeful thoughts. =D
P3 is what got me on board back in 07, but as for my favorite, I don’t have one because they’re all so damn good and each one is unique in their own ways.
1. Persona 5
2. Persona 2
3. Persona 3
4. Persona 4
5. Persona 1
5 was the game that introduced me to the series, so its no matter its my favorite. And the re-release is just chef's kiss
People:joker beat a god so cool.
Makoto:you wouldn’t be here if weren’t for me door kun
Persona 5 was a mediocre game just had a good design and few good characters, but the whole story in general was boring and just felt the same I quit after the cat ends up leaving you because it just felt stupid. I was happy that the cat left but I just couldn't be bothered playing anymore just got really repetitive
9:30 – 10:20 is probably the biggest critique I'd have to give Persona 5. A lot of the things in Persona 4 got fixed. Namely, the brain-drain dungeon design even if it amounted to abominations like Okumura but funnily enough one of the most enjoyable parts in the game were the times you just hung out with the confidants, did some mementos, raised your skills and planned what to do next. I only enjoyed the first three and the last palace if entirely honest. Sae's looked pretty cool from the start and I wished they'd have gone with a more bold–you can actually pay or gamble your way to the top instead of fighting approach instead of the ever same dungeon crawling.
I think Persona should allow for more diplomatic gameplay and put less of a focus on the grind. It's bearable and even fun sometimes but it's far from perfect.
Persona 3 deserves a remake TBH
Guys u can play persona 3 in your phones search in google
I feel like Persona 5 Royal was a big improvement over the original one. Even though it's mostly the same, they improved a lot of stuff. My favourite change is definitely that Morgana doesn't force you to sleep anymore lol
Persona 3 is the best persona, then the 4th one follows up (my opinion)
You want to like akechi?
For me if I was ranking them from least fav to most my list would go: 5,1,3,2,4
I'm 19 and I always heard good things about the Persona Series so I brought a new PS4 and played P5. Never have I experienced a game like that and meeting the characters and building friendships with a UI dripping in personality had me hooked. Now I've recently installed p3 on my phone through an emulator and I'm even more hooked than before. Its truly an amazing series and you my good sir have convinved me to go back to P2 after I finish p3. This series has really stolen my heart!
I played P3P on my laptop on my 3 day trip down from Maine to Texas and it was cathartic. It was a whole new life I was going to. The emotional distraction (and how good the game is) made it really stick in my memory as one of my favorite games.
10:47 "Mixed feelings of confidants giving you certain abilities"
Ah yes. I too also blew off Hifumi Togo's existence until late in the game, like by the fifth palace for instance, before realizing that her perks are a literal game-changer that it's insane to think about how easy it is to miss out on her. Similar case with the fortune teller. Meanwhile Iwai is locked behind level 4 guts where his perks are useless late game, and there's no point in talking more about the dead beaten horse that is the drunk reporter lady.
I want a persona 2 remake now and I mean right now simply the best Persona game with a Story so awesome they had to do it twice.
The first persona game i played is persona 3 portable
I'm just here to voice the opinion that you might be a little biased against the new stuff due to nostalgia…
Hear me out, but ill compare this to the batman arkham series
So you prefer persona 3 over persona 4, which is perfectly fine, but i believe this is because you played 3 first. I'll compare this to the duology of arkham city vs arkham origins. Both are very well out together games that in terms of gameplay are identical across the board. With fans of the series, there is a big divide in the sense that people who started on arkham origins tend not to enjoy city nearly as much as well as they openly accepted arkham knight and called it a pinnacle and masterpiece. This is different with those who's first arkham game was asylum or city, and those from that camp generally dislike origins and complain that knight was good, but no masterpiece, heavily flawed, and not up to the standard that asylum and city were made to.
I guess what I am saying is that persona 1, 2, and 3 are sort of the original generation of persona players, and 4 & 5 are kind of the next generation of persona.
Plus what im kinda getting at here is that through persona 1, 2, and 3 the games were called persona mostly because they were an offshoot of the shin megami tensei franchise, they were dark and mature in their subject matter much like smt was and hopefully will remain to be in the future. If you ask me, persona needed to differentiate itself from its parent franchise and make persona actually mean more than just a spinoff, thus leading to 4 busting out with its bright colors and happier lighthearted tone, with 5 toning it down a little but still wearing the new paint job proudly.
In summary, I think you're a smt fan who is sad to see the child grow up and stop being just like its daddy
Warm regards,
Some guy with an opinion
The reasons you dislike P5 are also the reasons I dislike P5, but the reason you DO like P5 is an extension of the things I dislike in my eyes.
The hand-crafted dungeons filled with gimmicks, a stronger emphasis on the simplistic stealth system, and puzzles feel more restrictive to progressing in the game than anything else. I am entirely aware this is solely my own (flawed) perspective, but it really began to drag for me. As the story became predictable and confidant progress stagnated, the design of the dungeons made it so much more time-consuming to progress at an enjoyable pace. The time management/combat are the two main reasons I enjoy Persona, and with the attempts iterate on the aspects outside of that, the experience became dull for me. Random, "emptier" dungeons worked better for me bc i could grind when I wanted, and storm through when I was done and knock the boss out. Idk, i know this is all super specific to my playstyle.
The negotiation system for gaining personas does the same thing. I liked the shuffle time mechanic of P4 bc it was quicker and a bit more clear when it came to the decisions made. Having to answer questions properly and spend a minute or two negotiating slowed the game to a crawl for me. I can see what they were going for, and I think it's a super neat idea and fits with the theme well, the novelty wore off quick for me though.
Why is there so many simping mascots in the persona series.
The combat system on P4 is worse than P3 but i still like them equally.
14:08 Fuhrer is a totally different character? didn't know until now
akechi best boy
shit i forgot makoto was an orphan
i agree, tartarus isn’t bad.
This nigga lost me after he ranked p4 as 4
Confession/embarrassing gaming moment: I have played through a good chunk of Persona Q for 3DS despite not playing P3 or 4 due to availability shenanigans. My first playthrough, answering all of the romance questions totally honestly without a guide, who did I get for my soulmate?
Teddy.
I screamed. I laughed. I cursed. And I'm pretty sure that changing exactly one answer gave me Margaret instead. Much better.
I wonder how this ranking would change with Persona 5 Royal taken into consideration
I only play Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4/Golden. Personaly I like Golden story which I felt like I was really on the story. It so youth, and so joyful. I also like of how Shadow concept, which everyone have their own ugly side and they try to rejected (or admit) it.
And I believe beside the story, everything about Golden is decent compared to Persona 5/Royal and Persona 3/FES/Portable.
i think p5 is my fav, started with p4g and then p3 then 5. i feel like the p5 is the most realistic setting and the gameplay is just soooo polished. replaying p4g on pc now makes me sleepy when doing the dungeon. p5 confidant also is more appealing then the p4 and 3. theres so much chara i dont care on p4 and p3 but in p5 i can bare all of them. the game is easy not cause they make the game easy but because its "polished" so there are no useless thing dat makes your life harder cuz no reason. also the p5 is the most thoughtful in the series i think, the persona choice, the skill and setting etc is just insane how they make it together into a single game. Props to them
The way he said Vic Mignogna made me laugh.
Curious about where you’d put royal
My rankings:
5: Persona 2: Honestly I just couldn't get into this one. I wanted to line the different gameplay so much and I really loved how the story starts with a bang. That said the gameplay felt really repetitive and slow outside story relevant battles and I could just never get invested.
4: Persona 1: I haven't actually played this one, but it's the persona game my mom fell in love with and what got her to pick up a used p4 from a game store to try with me when it caught her eye(funnily enough she never got into it and I fell in love, but we'll get to that). All I've heard about this game is positive aside from some jabs at the localization, so I gotta throw it a bone.
3: persona 5: Ok, I'm still playing through royal so this might take number 2 or even 1 from the spoiler free praise I've heard for royal. That said, this game is easy. Like, really easy. I beat every palace on the run I entered where the story would let me get to the treasure after kamoshida's palace on my first playthrough and I got to the relative story blockage on my first run it was available on too. I've gotten through every ng+ super boss and extra challenge in the book on the highest difficulty where I still have certain things I've never done in the other modern persona games. On top of that, the story kind of feels like it took most of persona 4's story, gave you the true ending basically by default, and mixed in some of persona 3's narrative best and brightest towards the end. Now I love this game's gameplay, as using different buttons for different menus can almost make putting plans into action really feel like laying down almost like a fighting game combo, and while it's generally really easy, it's also so satisfying.
2: Persona 3: This game is long and hard, don't take that out of context. It takes forever to get through and I love it for that. Pretty much every small fork in the road can be a serious challenge if you aren't ready. The lack of party member control is a bit frustrating but I consider it part of this game's challenge factor. The story has some pacing issues, but I do like a lot of what happens and I think it has the best ending of any persona game. It also has some of the best variations the franchise had ever offered. Persona 3 portable integrates a lot of mechanics from persona 4 and definitely gives the game a good balance. It's definitely the best version for people who want to try persona 3 for it's story, especially with the addition of the female protagonist for even more interesting story variation. On the opposite end of the spectrum is persona 3 fes. It doesn't do too much to the base game of persona 3, but includes an epilogue campaign called the answer with a bare bones story, aigis as the main character, you start around level 20, and the difficulty is turned up to 11. If you want the hardest most interesting and thrilling gameplay experience out of persona 3, this is the version for you.
1: Persona 4: possibly the perfect game in my opinion. My parents got me this game when I was young and I loved it. It was what inspired me to start looking up music and gameplay on YouTube and get into online communities, and ultimately inspired me to get into game development. The gameplay is flawless, the story is amazing, enthralling, and funny. The soundtrack is… itself. I really can't come up with anything else to describe it as, it's the persona 4 soundtrack. It is perfection in music. This was the game that blew up for persona, this was the game that started the chain reaction of spinoffs and successes and hype and awesomeness that persona is today.
Edit: LEAST FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK?! SACRILEGE!!!!1!1!!!! Lol I kid I kid. Seriously though, you tore p4 a new one. Persona 3 had the weakest social links of the modern games by miles and miles imo. Yes they all have their highlights and stinkers, but the lack of party member social links and the ones in the world feeling a lot less personal leave p3 in the dust as a whole imo. Also yeah the elephant in the room. P4 golden sucks ass. Everything added only serves to make the game worse, it's only enjoyable when it's being as faithful as possible to the original(especially chie's voice from golden onward, that poor actor. Whoever told her to just be as high pitched and annoying as possible should have been fired. I know this because it's so much worse in golden then the other spinoffs I seriously had to frantically rip my earbuds out at certain scenes. Golden honestly accentuated all the complaints you had to make about the game and I have to wonder if it's the only one you've played. I wouldn't be surprised, no reason to go back to an older version, at least in theory.
Trash Taste, there is a reason persona 4 and persona 5 have all around higher ratings compared to any other persona game. Even persona 3 is a 89 on Metacritic and persona 4 and 5 both are a 93 and persona 5 royal a 95.
I’m glad that p5:royal addressed a lot of the concerns I had with the original
if only he made this video after royal came out
It's like choosing between your children bruv
I prefer the Rev:Persona instead of Persona 1(PSP), I actually should make this a 7 game ranking (cause P2 IS and P2 EP are very different games at their core when you REALLY think about it – cof*cof*unlike DDS games cof*cof)
My list:
#7 Persona 1 (PSP) – what the hell happened here? Just… no…
#6 Persona 5 – cast most forgetfull that I didnt care if Ann got molested, Joker is a "good" guy, but even doh we go through his view, it doesnt matter when he doesnt EXPRESS his real self, gameplay teases it but wasnt enough to grab me.
#5 Rev:Persona (PSX) – they made it horrid in translation but OH MY! The atmosphere is for me much more powerfull than from P2 which is telling something!
#4 Persona 2 EP – I cannot say MUCH about it cause I was playing the game in my PSP until it crashed and died(rip psp… I miss you so much), but of what I played… wow… it made me think its more a SMT game than a Pèrsona game, that is a work to have, also… Philemon was like Steven and sort of a father/guardian for me, except that…. Steven lives*….
#3 Persona 4 – whatever you say about the Hell guide of a rpg it is… the cast is memorable and you get theyre doing and the setting is kinda bad, but is more "realistic" then the other Persona games due to the surreal MASKING themes that the game presents
#2 Persona 3 – take all the surreal imagery of P1,P4 and P5 and make it sustainable and DEPRESSING! THATS PERSONA 3~~~<3 with added content through its… DLC-ishes.
#1 Persona 2 IS – THE ONLY GAME THAT YOU CAN RELATE NOT ONLY THE MUTED MAIN CHARACTER BUT YOU FELL THAT THE ENTIRE CAST IS A PROTAGONIST and the game give me everything, villains(surreal and not so much surreal), heroes, comedy, gameplay is good for the most part, but all of this makes interconnection that makes me fell passionate about, P3 has those too, but I, the player that hold the controller is more of a cheerleader that has THE SIMS powers instead of P2 cast where I can make my party dancing, taunting or whatever, cause I mold them as I want, they could be seen as deamons as well as outgoing real friends(which they are with themselves).
Respectable list.
I need a remake for persona 2, this game is fucking perfect
Trash taste
I never played not one, although i downloaded all of them and ready to be played on double click….i wan't something like ff8, ff9, easily my favorite games of all time…i guess I'll watch some gameplay and reviews separately for each game before i decide…from your video i wanna start with p3 or p5….thanks for the video…God bless you
Oh. 4 and 5 that low? I guess hipster Persona fans are a thing.
Stop burning my bread please sir
Personally I quite liked the p1 psp sound track
My personal opinion
5.persona
4.persona 2
These last three are very good
3.persona 3
2.persona 4
1. Persona 5
My opinions are:
5:Persona 5
4:Persona 4
3:Persona 1
2:Persona 2
1:Persona 3
I don't care what's your favorite persona game but everyone who has played persona 5 agrees that haru's father's palace is legit the worse dungeon in any game
