A clear dividing line exists within the Persona series, as the first three games adhere to the old school rubric of Atlus RPGs, while games from Persona 3 on have had their own distinct vibe (and impeccable style), but I still feel like Persona 6 could take a lesson from Persona 2 to outdo its direct predecessor. While the template pioneered in Persona 3 and refined in Persona 4 is largely excellent, it is not without its flaws. I recently (finally) beat Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and it was an eye-opening reminder of what the Persona franchise has been missing.
