The problem is that each of these sequels has its own sub-sequels, totaling <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/the-new-game-from-the-creator-of-persona-3-4-and-5-is-called-metaphor-re-fantazio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">23 games<\/a><\/strong>. To give you an idea of the mess: &#8216;Persona 2: Eternal Punishment&#8217; came out after &#8216;Persona 4&#8217; and its sequel in the form of a fighting game, &#8216;Persona 4 Arena&#8217;. Anything goes here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout its almost three decades of existence, &#8216;Persona&#8217; has gone through free-to-play versions (&#8216;Persona Ain Soph&#8217;), RPGs for Nintendo DS (&#8216;Persona Q: Shadow of the labyrinth&#8217;), rhythm games (&#8216;Persona 4: Dancing all night&#8217;) and even a hack and slash in the style of &#8216;Dynasty Warriors&#8217; (&#8216;Persona 5 Strikers&#8217;). Additionally, each game has had its own slightly enhanced versions, such as &#8216;Persona 4 Golden&#8217; or &#8216;<strong>Persona 5 Royale<\/strong>&#8216;, <strong>turning it into a mess only suitable for the most hardcore fans<\/strong>. Oh, and we must also add its adaptations to novels, manga, theater, and even concerts, all of them canon. The bravest explorers are in luck.
