Where to start with Persona

There is no single Persona order, because there is no single Persona story. There are four separate lines that never meet. Pick the game you care about and follow that line.

  1. 1
    The Persona 3 films, #1 through #4 Persona 3 The Movie #1: Spring of Birth

    One story cut into four, and they must be taken in order. Spring of Birth, Midsummer Knight's Dream, Falling Down, Winter of Rebirth. The fourth is incomprehensible on its own.

  2. 2
    Persona4 the ANIMATION (2011) Persona4 the ANIMATION

    The Persona 4 line starts here: twenty six episodes adapting the game. Watch to the end, including the twenty sixth episode, which was never broadcast and only exists on disc.

  3. 3
    Persona4 the GOLDEN ANIMATION (2014) Persona4 the GOLDEN ANIMATION

    Not a sequel. It retells the same year from the expanded version of the game, built around a character the first telling does not have. Watch it as an alternative, not as a continuation, and expect it to disagree with what you just saw.

  4. 4
    The Persona 5 line, in this order PERSONA5 the Animation -THE DAY BREAKERS-

    THE DAY BREAKERS first, then the twenty six episode series, then Dark Sun..., then Stars and Ours. Those last two are television specials rather than episodes, and they are where the story actually ends. Stopping at episode twenty six leaves it hanging. This is the single most important thing on this page.

  5. 5
    Proof of Justice and A Magical Valentine's Day PERSONA5 the Animation: Proof of Justice

    Two side stories on disc, after everything else, outside the plot. Take them or leave them.

  6. 6
    Persona -trinity soul- (2008) Persona -trinity soul-

    Skippable. Set in 2020, ten years after Persona 3, with a cast of its own and no link to anything above. Atlus treats it as an alternative rather than part of the line.

Then what? That is everything. Nothing new has been announced: the most recent Persona screen work is from June 2019, and the 2026 news is all games and concerts.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
