Have you ever tried any games from Persona Series? This series has 5 titles so far and it has been popular for 25 years!!

Persona1
PERSONA BE YOUR TRUE MIND

Persona 1 was released in 1996 for PlayStation.
This is the origin of Persona series. The theme of the game, plot, details like demons, magic, items......etc were continued to later Persona Series.
A lot of people in the school where the main characters attend were interested in an occult game. It was a fortune-telling parlor game called “Persona.” When “Persona” was summoned, it will show them their future. After playing the game, a group of students saw a ghostly figure, and they were rendered unconscious. They all woke up at the hospital, where was attacked by demons and became like a labyrinth. Then, all the main characters realized that they had the power to summon Personas, which was described in the manual as another demon.

Persona2

The second series of Persona contains two parts - Persona 2: Innocent Sin was released in 1999. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment was released in 2000.
Persona1 was considered as a little difficult game, so Persona2 was improved as an easier version.
3 years after Persona 1, strange rumors were around in a fictional seaside city. The rumor said, if you call yourself from your cell phone, a figure called the joker is summoned to grant a wish. The group of main characters tried this game and the rumor came true. The Joker appeared for real, but for some reasons, the Joker hated them strongly. The characters were trying to repel the demons that were sent by Joker while finding out the reasons why Joker hated them.

Is Persona6 will be white or green?
Speculations by Persona fans on the Internet!

I personally hope that there will be an announcement about Persona6 at the 25th Anniversary festival on the 28th!!!
Other fans are also hoping to hear the announcement for Persona6 and they are also discussing about the theme color for the new series.
For example, in the image above, the number 25 was designed with colors of successive main characters. It looks like white was used for the 6th color in the image. So some fans were expecting that white may be the theme color for the new series!
However, some fans were saying that the theme color for 6 would be green.
This is a key visual that all successive main characters are standing side by side. Can you see a green paint bucket and a green spray paint on the left side?
There is a space for a person to the left. So some fans are thinking that white part on the number 25 means a blank and the color changes to green!
What do you think? Is it going to be white or green? Or even different color? Please check out the announcement on the 28th!
