The Persona<\/a><\/em> franchise spans more than a dozen games, with the number growing almost every year. It may be difficult to keep track of them, much less figure out which game goes where. Luckily, I’m here to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launching in 1996, Persona<\/em> has become a staple of the RPG genre. They’ve also dipped their toes into other realms (dancing<\/a>, anyone?). For a spin-off series of Shin Megami Tensei<\/em><\/a>, the franchise has done quite well with establishing itself as its own. With that said, the boom in popularity due to the worldwide success of Persona 5<\/a> <\/em>has brought many gamers, including myself, into the fandom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While researching what was canon in Persona<\/em>, I noticed that the timeline was never officially stated or done. So, with that in mind, I ventured into the depths and created a simple but organized timeline. It goes by the year the game takes place, not when it released (though some do line up). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
