Persona 5 focuses on the conflicts – internal and external – of a group of troubled high school students: the protagonist and other characters they will meet throughout the game. They all lead a double life as Phantom Thieves.
These teenagers experience the typical hustle and bustle of a Tokyo high school student: classes to attend, after-school activities, part-time jobs. But there's more: these young people can also dive into fantastic adventures using supernatural powers to penetrate people's hearts. Their power comes from the Persona, the Jungian concept of the Self. The game's heroes understand that society forces people to wear masks to protect their vulnerabilities, and by literally tearing off their protective masks and confronting their inner Self, our heroes can awaken their power and use it to help those in need.
The Phantom Thieves' goal is to try and change the everyday world to fit their perception, tearing off the masks that modern society forces us to wear. For the first time since the PS2™ system, the award-winning Persona 5 saga returns to consoles. Exciting action sequences and fast-paced Japanese RPG dynamics. Fantastically customized characters, enemies and environments, elegant anime-style cut-scenes. Innovative acid jazz soundtrack composed by the talented Shoji Meguro. Overcome various obstacles with the elegant actions of the Phantom Thieves.
The controls, easy to learn but hard to master, are accessible to everyone: from beginners to Persona veterans.
