Persona 3 is easily described ﷽in one word: “different.” That might not sound too promising, considering that the connotations of “different” can be either positive or horrible - ever hear someone describe some delicious foodstuff as tasting "different"? Hearing about what makes this RPG so unorthodox might also make a gamer uneasy: Mo🔥st of your exploring takes place in a single, randomized dungeon; you only have direct control over one party member in battle; you have to manage a simulation of high-school life for a good portion of the game. Any one of those could be a huge turn-off for an RPG fan.

But in the case of Persona 3, different is good.
