Talk:Persona (universe)

name

Should this page be listed as Megami Tensei (universe) depending on what the DLC brings? Persona is certainly it own series but a lot of its content originates from other Megami Tensei games, which have appeared often on Nintendo platforms. Coldramentpm (talk) 00:18, 7 December 2018 (EST)

That's what I was thinking, but I just named it this because that's what Joker's page said. I do think it's the better thing to do. Anthony1996 (talk) 00:20, 7 December 2018 (EST)

I'd argue that it depends on what's included in the Joker content pack. If nothing is referenced that is specifically outside the Persona sub-series, I think this is the appropriate title. If, say, other MegaTen content gets in by way of music/spirits/whatever, then I'd agree it should be a more general universe page covering the whole MegaTen franchise. For the time being, I think this is an okay place to leave it until we know for sure. Miles (talk) 00:21, 7 December 2018 (EST)

I think their relation similar Mega Man and Mega Man Battle Network, but consideration Yoshi and Wario, should wait for the actual content to come out, according to series symbol divide.--Tyughvbnsi (talk) 03:54, 7 December 2018 (EST)

I propose we cover all bases and call it Shin Megami Tensai: Persona Universe Guybrush20X6 (talk) 03:58, 7 December 2018 (EST)

I disagree on account of P5 not using the SMT super-title, and only some previous Persona games using it. I think in general we're best off leaving this at the Persona title until we know the contents of the pack and only moving it if there's something more general to cover (e.g., SMT 4 music or something).

I want to bring up something a YouTuber I follow once brought up. Up to this point in time, All persona games have been called "Shin Megami Tensai: Persona" with the number of the title at the end. However, Persona 5 actually drops the Shin Megami Tensai from the title, establishing the Persona series as separate from Shin Megami Tensai series. I my self am unsure if this is true, i don't play the games. Said YouTuber has also stated that in past Persona games you could find lots of references or allusions to the Shin Megami Tensai games, however Persona 5 has almost no SMT references outside of shared monsters/persona designs and names. For that reason I feel we should just keep this universe as just Persona, not Shin Megami Tensai: Persona. Due to the fact P5 drops the SMT from the title, and has little to no SMT references, P5 could be the game thats trying to establish the Persona series as being separate from SMT.

Well actually, NONE of the Persona games originally had the supertitle "Shin Megami Tensei". The only one with any supertitle was P1, which was titled Megami Ibunroku Persona. The "Shin Megami Tensei" part was only added in western releases starting with Persona 3 to connect it with other PS2 Megami Tensei games like Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, and Raidou Kuzunoha as part of a push for MegaTen in the west. In Japan, Persona 1-5 have always been titled independently of Shin Megami Tensei.

Of course, P5 is still part of the larger Megami Tensei series, as evidenced by its inclusion of the characteristic cast of demons, names of spells, fusion, compendium, etc. So if any non-Persona elements are added (a Flynn spirit, music from Devil Survivor) and Joker's universe is listed as "Persona", just put the rest of that stuff in "Megami Tensei" (which is what Wikipedia uses). 75.46.164.77 01:02, 13 December 2018 (EST)
