So I hear a lot about the Persona series and I checked out some trailers and stuff so I had some questions and concerns before I get in to the series. The trailer I watched was for the 3rd one I think?

Number one, I can think of very few Atlus games I like and most of the ones I've played have mildly scared me. This one also seems to have that "dark" atmosphere to it. Is this an actual concern? Are some of them "lighter" than others?

The different persona things interest me, but the system seems a bit complicated. Like you can merge 2 together and make 1? Are you killing them? Can you every get them back? Does this stuff actually matter?

This game seems really difficult. Like you have a time limit and you have to juggle school and... whatever weird dungeon thing they seem to be doing... I don't do well with time limits, they're stressful and I'm bad at them. Is it a strict limit? Is it difficult?

How many playable characters are there?

Any other information would be appreciated or if you have any more commentary or whatnot as well, thank you!
