Set in modern-day Tokyo, the story of Persona Revelations Series follows a group of high school students who are invited to meet at an abandoned mansion. There, they discover that the mansion is home to supernatural entities known as "Shadows," which can possess humans and take over their bodies.
The students soon learn that they have developed the ability to wield powerful beings known as "Personas," which are derived from ancient mythological figures. As they navigate the challenges of high school, the group must also contend with the Shadows and work together to uncover the truth behind their connection to the mansion and the mysterious forces at play.
The gameplay in Persona Revelations Series is a mix of social simulation and turn-based combat. The player controls one of the student protagonists as they navigate the world, interact with other characters, and engage in battles against Shadows and their Personas.
During combat, the player selects a combination of Personas to use, taking into account their strengths and weaknesses. The game features a deep character customization system, allowing players to craft unique Personas and strategies for each battle.
Persona Revelations Series was released on the PlayStation in 1997 and has since become a cult classic among retro gaming enthusiasts.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a fantasy role-playing game where you and your friends, empowered by a mysterious game called "Persona," must battle invading demons in your city. You'll explore the city, converse with demons, and merge them to create powerful Personas to fight for you.
Story
Background of a Twisted City
Guido Sardenia, president of Sebec Lunarvale Branch, has been plagued by vicious rumors since they opened their doors several months ago. It's not safe to go out alone in Lunarvale anymore. Shadows and substance have formed new alliances.
Suspicious looking men in dark suits roam the town. What is their purpose? Mysterious sounding machines squeal from deep beneath the earth. The spirit of a little girl, dressed in black, haunts the company. This is just a hint of the rumors emanating from Sebec.
What does Guido think when he looks over the city with those dark beady little eyes of his? You and your friends, Mark, Yuki, Nate, and Mary (who incidentally has been very ill), are well aware of the rumors. This doesn't stop you from playing the one game you truly enjoy, "Persona." Weird things have started to happen since you began to play the game...

Demon Types
There are 20 demon types altogether. Small families belong to big families in the list. Also during the game, only small families are shown as demon's type.
About Demon/Persona Characteristics
The magic group that Persona (or demon) can use is called characteristics. There are big characteristics and small characteristics. Big characteristics represent original magic groups.
Underneath there are small characteristics that are classified in detail. Persona (or demon) sets up small characteristics individually. Persona and demons basically use a group of magic based on above listed characteristic.
All magic belongs to some characteristic listed above. During battle between defense and attack characteristics, there is congeniality. Among big families, Elemental and Physical don't get along with each other. Neither do Evildark and Holylight.
Among small families, Igneous and Aqua don't get along with each other. The same holds true between Air and Terra, Photon and Grewon, Weakboson and Graviton. Magic attacks between opposite characteristics will affect and damage a lot. Magic attacks between similar characteristics affect and damage less.
Revelations
Persona is the first chapter in the REVELATIONS. In the near future, mankind has conquered dimensional travel but the door we have opened swings both ways. The peaceful city you have grown up in has become a haven for dark creatures from another world—Demons!
Now it's up to you and your friends to harness the hidden power within you by entering the fantasy game known as Persona. You awaken with incredible abilities that you will need to defeat the scores of Demon invaders and cleanse the land of their forces.
Converse with them before doing battle to determine your best course of action. Fight them or enlist their aid in your mission. Either way, you are set for the fantasy adventure of a lifetime!

At the title screen, choose LOAD GAME with Start or X button, and the Load screen appears. Choose the saved game that you want.
ADVENTURE MAP
When the party enters a building from a 2-D Map scene, or into a room in 3-D Dungeons, the screen will shift to Quarter view. These are referred to as adventure maps.
In the adventure maps, you can use the facilities to:
•
Display where you are headed. This shows when the hero is at the exit.
•
Display Moon age. The arrow just outside of the Adventure Map indicates the exit.
The Adventure Map is in quarter view so you might have to adjust control of the character with the directional pad. The fastest way to adjust this is to hold your control pad diagonally and then control your character on the screen.
COMMAND SUB: ITEM
USE
A list of items will be shown. Move your cursor with the directional button, and press the X button to decide. If the item is shown in gray letters, you cannot use it with the USE command.
When the up or down arrow is shown on the item list, there are more items outside of the listed area. When each individual character is going to use medicine or incense, choose the item first and then choose the character you want to use items on.
EQUIP
Choose which character is to be equipped first. After choosing the character, use the directional button for Max or Remove, or the parts of the body to be equipped on, and decide with the X button.
When your cursor is on Max/Remove, Right and Left on the directional button moves the cursor between Max and Remove. When the cursor is in place to equip, pressing the X button will change the character.
When MAX is chosen, the display Max/Remove changes to ALL MAXIMUM. Put your cursor there, and press the X button. The computer will look into your inventory and search for the most powerful weapon and most effective armor and equip you at the "place to equip."
When you're at ALL MAXIMUM and move the cursor to the "place to equip" and press the X button, auto equipment will start. Press the Δ button to go back to MAX/REMOVE display.
When REMOVE is chosen, the display MAX/REMOVE changes to ALL REMOVE. Move the cursor here and press the X button to remove all equipment from the character. Move the cursor to "place to equip" and press the X button to remove equipment from the desired "place to equip."
When MAX/REMOVE is displayed, move your cursor by pressing Up or Down on the directional button to the place you would like to equip and press the X button. The Item choice window will appear. Choose the item you would like to equip by pressing Up or Down on the directional button and decide by pressing the X button.
Items described in gray letters cannot be equipped. If the Up and/or Down arrow is shown at the Item choice window, it indicates that there are items outside of the screen.
SORT
The Computer will ask you to utilize empty spaces and fill it in with your item list. Choose Yes or No. When Yes is chosen, all the empty spaces will be filled.
A list of items in the inventory will be shown on the screen. Choose one item that you would like to move with the directional button and the name of the item will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Then choose the place where it should go with the directional button. Press the X button and the items will be swapped. Repeat this until you have all the items at your desired place.
