[edit] Split?

I think that each Persona game should get it's own page, it would make this article much easier to read.

Agreed. --Delf 20:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
I made a page for Persona 2 by simply copying the text from this page. New User 14:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caucasian?

Regarding the following line: "and the changing of Mark from a freckled Caucasian boy to a token African American character with somewhat offensively stereotypical dialogue" - Mark wasn't ever caucasian -- he was Asian, like the rest of the cast. --McDohl 07:47, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improvement.

I've improved the first Persona's section. I'll do the same for Innocent Sin, Eternal Punishment, and will add the third title information! --Delf 20:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I added the two missing playable characters. If you could add the original Japanese names. --Knofbath 20:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Johnnyfog, I think it's good to move the characters section to a new page like List of Persona 2 characters. The article title could be List of Revelation Persona characters or List of Persona 1 characters. -- Sameboat - 同舟 04:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "like" stuff

I got here since the article was listed at WP:CVG/A I read it and found that to get B class, you have to explain the gameplay better, atm it just says "like in that game", which doesnt tell you much, then sometimes the stuff is too detailed.

Try to make that it only contains stuff, which a person not playing/considering to play the game would want to know. Ill just quote a part from the article here:

In the Fusion menu, a color icon determines how compatible each pair of demons are: 
A red icon warns that the pair of demons are incompatible, and are in danger of resulting 
in a failed Fusion. A white icon indicates that the demons are of average compatability, 
and no complications will arise. Finally, a blue icon indicates that the demons are very
compatible, and may produce an enhanced Persona with favourable spells and/or attributes."

This is a typical sentence/part that a non player would not want to know, so try to not include such parts. Also read WP:SS..

Hope that helps ;) Yzmo talk 15:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

I'm going to rate this start class, but it can get to B/GA with some work. Some notes;

  • Rather than using external links in the article text, use these as references (in the infobox, lead, etc.)
  • "is the first in a series of role-playing games for PlayStation consoles – one of several spin-off series within developer Atlus' Megami Tensei franchise. " - this doesn't really make any sense...
  • The lead could talk about reception etc. so that it fully discusses the article
  • Rename the "Revelations: Persona" to something like "Gameplay"
  • "The main character, Mary, and Nate battle a horde of zombies." - don't need bold here
  • The "Game mechanics" section is slightly long and crufty. Remember to summarise.
  • "See also" not really needed - instead create an article for the series

If you have any questions, leave a note on my talk page. Cheers, Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 05:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Considering the Biblical motif of past games, including in the titles, would not "Goddess Apocrypha: Persona" be a closer translation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Rubino (talkcontribs) 13:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
