Top Ten Persona Characters
Top 10 “Katsura Hashino” Persona CharactersSo, with the release of a trailer for Persona 5 and an announcement for the date its coming out in Japan and the US (March and November 2015, respectively), I am really getting back into the hype for this series. I’ve already talked about the Persona series before; once in my retrospective on Kanji’s sexuality, and again in my top games of the sixth generation list. I do have more thoughts on the series and its themes but honestly I’ll probably be too busy with other things to ever get them down, so for now I’ll try to satisfy myself with making a top ten list on what realistically the core elemen...
