I'd like to see some wilder takes on it. Like, with the gun stuff P5 added, I could see a first-person VR game where the dungeon crawling is a mix of FPS and controlling/summoning Personas with buttons and hand movements (and maybe even optional voice control).

Will a studio ever make a Persona clone or a Persona-like game?
- Thread starter AuthenticM
- Start date
I feel like quite a few Japanese companies already do, as this thread highlights. I'm assuming you are probably meaning like major AAA companies even if you don't say that, which I doubt. I don't think the social link, Waifu/husbando stuff translates well to mainstream western cultures
Three Houses was obviously heavily influenced by Persona.
I would guess the Persona team is making a Persona clone right now.

Yeah but compared to the original World it's super accessible lol...
Kind of disappointed with that because it's so easy to score a super Mega Digimon within a few hours while in the original you had to work for an Ultimate.
You've clearly not been around Mass Effect/Dragon Age fans then.
Lol, that's fair. But I don't know, even that feels different than the Persona stuff though I can't really explain what exactly

This is relevant to my interests.
Please tell me everyone is 18 or over.
I don't think they actually do the deed, rather it's a "process" that involves science...anyway it's about as shallow as a puddle on a runway, do not recommend to get that Persona fix. Cold Steel is the closest in concept, followed by Tokyo Xanadu.
People sold me Danganronpa as "imagine Persona X Ace Attorney"
And I said "I like those things"
I hate Danganronpa.

Danganronpa definitely has some visual and UI similarities to Persona, could probably argue some musical influence too. And DR has social links, even if they're not quite as integral to the gameplay as Persona (and largely impossible to get too deep into until the postgame).
I definitely wouldn't really describe it as a Persona-style game, though, since their core gameplay is totally different (dungeon crawling and SMT combat versus detective and courtroom gameplay). I've always just thought of DR as an Ace Attorney or standard adventure game where, instead of just pressing a button to present evidence, you have to perform action or twitch gameplay. I'd sooner call it Ace Attorney X Wario Ware.
They call it "classmating". Your kid doesn't grow up though, it pops out of an egg ready to join you in battle.
When Phil Spencer switches his marketing speak from telling us to "keep asking", to telling us that Xbox is funding brand new ones, based on Banjo Kazooie or Minecraft.
i don't think any game really does the same thing as persona with the same level of success.
I've playing through cold steel 1 and half of cold steel 2 and the social and school elements are just so unpolished compared to persona—it's really not the same thing imo

From what I can gleam most devs only pick out S.links/character interaction bits from persona games. Its not really the full social sim experience that the slow pacing of P3-5 enables; days doing random shit like fishing, watching a movie, just hanging out or mundane things like teachers asking questions and stuff like that which is really good for the atmosphere.
I'd rather a clone goes the whole way than just getting small bits out like we've seen in stuff like FE but idk who can go the whole way

Oh my god don't remind me, they tried to redo the mechanic that people like from Awakening only for it to become one of the worst aspects of the game: instead of coming from a bad future, the couple after getting S rank decide to have a kid, spend like 10 months in a dimension where times goes faster, give birth and leave the kid because it will be "safer" (note that when you recruit them either the place gets invaded or the kid goes outside) and then Corrin can even marry the kid
Also, shout outs to Azura who will always have two kids meaning she decided to get a second child and going trough the whole process again and for some reason decided to have them in separates dimensions not growing together probably because she's a shit parent
The newest Sakura Wars is kind of a similar to Persona in the sense that you build relationships through conversation in ways akin to a visual novel but you navigate 3D areas.
