![]() ![]() Add to that her helpful abilities to heal the party and make the enemy Personas fall asleep, and Silky is an invaluable early ally! She's even fantastic on a visual level her flowing red dress and green locks offer a great contrast that lends her this air of eeriness, like a sort of classical ghost. She stands out among many of the cool designs and powerful monsters in the series as this largely good and nice character who helps out with day-to-day life. However, despite all of these amazing Personas, I have to go with Silky. I haven't even mentioned Johanna, the Popess who is also a motorcycle, which is simply one of the best and sleekest character designs I've seen. I had at least one Priestess Persona in my party at all times, with special mention going to Sarasvati and Scathach for how much they helped carry me through to the endgame. The Priestess Arcana was solidly one of my favourites (if not my absolute favourite) throughout Persona 5, so this was a hard call. With an adorable smile, a plump body seemingly made from soft snow, and a jester-inspired blue hat, Jack Frost is instantly recognisable as a friendly winter prankster. To be perfectly blunt, I tried (very hard) to pick basically any other Persona in the Magician Arcana, but I just didn’t feel right naming anyone else as my favourite in this regard. Now essentially serving as Atlus’ mascot, Jack Frost joined the franchise from its second released game, Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II, and has been a fan favourite ever since. hee-ho himself hardly needs an introduction for anyone that’s spent a meaningful amount of time with the Shin Megami Tensei franchise that Persona was born out of. The Critical Rate boost isn’t the highest in the game and none of the weapons actually offer any changes to the in-game model, but I still find the mental image of student council president Makoto Nijima punching the daylights out of somebody with Bear Gloves absolutely hilarious. The idea of taking this scary boogeyman-esque figure and turning it into a toy may seem a tad simple, but its design is executed so well that I honestly would not mind buying a plush version of Bugs in real life.Īlso, executing Bugs will net the player a pair of Bear Gloves that Makoto, resident brawler, can use in combat. More than anything else, this aspect of Bugs’ design binds together its cutesy and frightening natures, using a common aspect of a sewn-together stuffed animal to highlight a history of violence on the creature’s part. Plain to see on the adorable teddy bear’s stomach is a hole that seems to have been sewn up sometime in the past but which has recently come undone, revealing a small collection of what appear to be human skulls resting inside the Persona. The blood seeping out from Bugs’ mouth does a great job of maintaining the classic creature’s unsettling roots even with the cutesy design, but what really sells Bugs as a unique Persona are the skulls. ![]() This Persona is based around the Bugbear, a common sort of hobgoblin traditionally meant to, as Persona 5 itself puts it, “scare children into behaving.” However, contrary to the Bugbear’s frequent depiction as a large, hairy, and creepy bear-like figure, Bugs is portrayed as a relatively cute stuffed teddy bear with some, let’s say, frightening additions. However, while I won’t deny that Arsène absolutely has the market covered on cool Fools, I simply have to admit that my favourite in the Arcana is Bugs. Even if the group isn’t my overall favourite, it’s hard to deny the appeal behind protagonist Joker’s Persona, Arsène, with his rebellious black wings, jagged red coat, and refined white ruffle tie. Similar to most of the Arcana in the game, the Fool’s selection of Personas hold a variety of truly great character designs. After all, this isn’t Royal’s fifth anniversary! Now, without further ado, which Personas have stood the test of time and remained my favourites, even five years later? The later special edition of the game, Persona 5: The Royal, added in a couple of extra Arcana and shifted some of the Personas around between the original classes and these new ones, but I'm going to go ahead and focus on the original base game. I thought I would look back over the 21 different Arcana - used in the game as essentially classes for the strange monsters, demons, creatures, and gods known as Personas.
