I'll do a base ranking of the games and come back to the detais later. Keep in mind I haven't played 5 yet and I'm still making my way through Eternal Punishment. Also, I think it's worth noting that my opinion is pretty much the opposite of WZ's in that I think the stories and characters in these games are stellar, some of thebest ingaming, while bamelay ranges from ugh to pretty cool

#4: Persona 1 - easy choice here even though it's really grownon me. Though goofy inits story and very clunky in gameplay, it's still very fun with a very amusing cast and the story actually represents Jungian psychology farily well.
#3: Persona 4 - easily digestabke with a likeablecast. It sucks you with its bubbly atmosphere but sadly fails to recapture that harshness that was upuntilhis point pretty emblematic ofPersona and MegaTen ingeneral.
#2: Persona 2: Innocent Sin - stellar cast and a story that smurfs you up from the inside in the best possible way. i crei evertym
#1: Persona 3 - excellent execution of its theme. Every aspect of the game revolves around the theme ofdeath and life, rEally reinforcing the heavy, hard-hitting story. Also, Junpei is bae

Best Party: Innocent Sin. In a way, they're very tight like the P4 gang, but then there's a twist on it that works so well

Best Soundtrack: 5, though they're all upthere except for 1. It has two soundtracks that are very flawed. One doesnt fit too well while the other has the worst battle theme in existence
