His crime, though? Joker tried to save a woman from a drunk. His parents send him to an acquaintance of an acquaintance and Joker now lives in the attic of a coffeeshop with the expectation that he stay on the straight and narrow because this is his last chance. It’s so bad that his old school kicked him out and he has to move to Tokyo because only one school will take him.
HIFUMI PERSONA 5 CODE
Persona 5 starts out when the protagonist, code named Joker but it’s the player’s choice of his real name (my guy is Law$liet “L-Money” Kyprioth because apparently the responsibility was too much for me), gets arrested. Good thing Joker wants her tactical knowledge! She’s been having a rough time with fame and family. One of these friends, or Confidants, is the famous shogi player Hifumi Toga. He can eat a burger bigger than his face, do homework, or maybe even hang out with friends. When the Phantom Thieves aren’t busy stealing hearts and fighting monsters, our protagonist has the chance to act like a normal high school student.
Sure, there’s some magical deity shenanigans behind most of it but what good JRPG doesn’t have you take down a god with the power of friendship? Each couple months or so, our protagonist brings down yet another corrupted adult. It’s slick, action-packed, looks great, a turn-based RPG that keeps the timing up, all the adults treat you like crap- wait.įor all the stylish phantom thievery going on, Persona 5 has a reoccurring theme of adult’s being power-hungry, sinful individuals bringing misery upon our teenaged heroes. Persona 5 on Sony’s PS4 was one of my favorite games last year.
