Hardcore Gamer: When I was younger, my father brought home a PlayStation from Game Factor. With it, he brought several titles, including Duke Nukem and others I had fixed my gaze on ever since the demos I tried at Target or encountered in various magazines. Then, there was one solitary title that I hadn’t yet heard of that piqued my interest: Revelations: Persona. Having never heard of the Shin Megami Tensei series prior, it’s needless to say I was quite ignorant as to what to expect, though after popping the silver-toned disc into the PlayStation for the first time, I know I never looked back. I became a MegaTen fan for life.

Netto's Game Room goes through the complete timeline of the Persona series; from Raidou to Persona 5 and beyond.

If you're looking for something that will scratch that Persona itch, these games have got you covered!
If you like Persona but hate yourself then play Conception.
"The player's goal is to charm girls from National Star God Academy, raise their affection for Itsuki, then produce and take the Star Children to explore dungeons and battle Impurities"
Hit on girls then put your "energy" into them and they'll "produce" "Star Children"
Then you send your children into dungeons or something. IDK.

Persona returned to Shin Megami Tensei’s roots.
It's technically a sub series of Megaten, so it's not surprise it's very much like the other games in the franchise, just less morbid and dark then the other games.
Of course it is. Persona was a spin-off. But more SMT than SMT makes no sense
