Reveal Your True Form...
Persona 5 is the sixth game in the Persona series. It is a
role-playing game developed by Atlus' P-Studio.
Persona 5 is a fantasy game based on reality which follows a
group of troubled high school students: the protagonist and a
collection of compatriots he meets along the way. All having lost
their place to belong in a broken world, these troubled teenagers
gradually realize that they are living in a toxic and dangerous
society resembling a prison full of slavery, oppression and
injustice, ruled by corrupted and twisted adults. They can't live
with the system and can't live without it, and simply existing means
they are at risk of being doomed and condemned to a life of slavery.
In order to seek freedom, liberation and justice, they live dual lives as
rebellious Phantom Thieves of Hearts. Using a mysterious smartphone app, they
undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts
of people (specifically, corrupt adults in positions of power) in order to re-shape
and transform them. The Phantom Thieves realize that society forces people to
wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by confronting their
inner selves and by literally ripping off their protective mask do the heroes
awaken their inner power, using it to help those in need. Ultimately, the group
of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception,
end slavery and see through the masks modern society wears.
