I started playing it as a test of patience. I knew how slow it was going to be and I wanted to not use any speedups. I wanted to strengthen my patience. And I'm proud to say I did not use speedups until Pandora when I was on hour 3 thinking 'am I doing something wrong.'

It's merciless, cruel, confusing, and mean to you, but it will put some hair on your chest for JRPGs that's for sure. I'm glad I played it, Super Guido and all. The ending at the diner gave me the goofiest smile.

If you're gonna play Revelations, please use save states and whip out a guide. Sounds pathetic but it can be super useful. Still, I'm really happy I played this game. Pandora made the rest of the game feel better and make me forget shit like the Harem Queen dungeon and almost Deva Yuga.

But everything changed when I got to Pandora. What I did not know is that Pandora is sort of like a either 'if you know the super strats you're ok' or 'you have the ultimate Personas' kind of boss. I'm not sure how long it took me to beat Pandora, but I do not wish that pain on anyone.

The game also has a wild amount of grind unless you know what you're doing. Like, near the end when the party is only the MC and Mary... hoo boy I had to grind for AWHILE to stand a chance vs anything in that dungeon. The masks that would just obliterate me before I could do anything...

But those little changes and confusing gameplay designs are EVERYWHERE in this game which makes it feel so old. Demon negotiation in general is an absolute trip, but I still kept laughing at it. Like, the idea of Mark staring at a demon until it gave me it's spell card never failed to make me laugh.

not only newfound respect for later Persona games, but bewilderment that people played this originally. Deva Yuga took me in-game time of 6 hours. Granted, I got lost because the game did not tell me about the lever. The lever I had not seen since what the 2nd or 3rd dungeon?

I was expecting to continue being able to work on that Persona but nope that's it. You slowly learn potentially 6 moves and that's IT. Want that Persona again? Go out and negotiate with the specific demons again and fuse it AGAIN. A lot of little things like that which give me-

For example, in modern Persona games you can fuse demons to create a new Persona, then use that newly made Persona and fuse it with another demon or another Persona. It's a very cool mechanic! In this game, you can fuse demons to create Personas, but once you make the Persona, that's IT.

But the gameplay itself is fucking crazy. I understand it is a very different style from modern Persona games, however it still feels super clunky. It has not aged well in the slightest. My biggest learning curve was with the Personas themselves.

Nate's conversation with Mary? MANNNNNN. Also, the world of Persona 1 creates an atmosphere unlike any other. It's very cool now and must've been even crazier for the time. The music can be pretty solid as well, it takes a bit to get to banger tracks, but they're there!

Anyways, the story is REALLY solid. Easily the best part of this game and its concepts stand the test of time in spades. Especially the interactions between Nate and Mark slowly building to the bit with the mirror. Incredible stuff. Mary's story as a whole is fantastic and I love her a lot.

changing so many parts of the game to try and 'appeal to the western audience' was a good idea. As a HUGE fan of Hot Shots Golf, I have experienced changes like this. Look up the localization of Hot Shots Golf 3/FORE, it's incredible.

Spent the last like month playing Revelations: Persona and wanted to drop a bit of my thoughts and some funny screenshots I took along the way.
