Hello!
Welcome to the Persona Community Thread. This thread has been created as a place to discuss all things around and about the Persona series, both within its mainline games as well as various spinoffs and re-releases.
PERSONA 5 IS UPON US.
MARK ALL SPOILERS. MARK ALL IMAGES THAT AREN'T OFFICIAL ATLUS PR. PLEASE BE CIVIL. IF YOU WANT TO DISAGREE WITH THE RULES, MARK FIRST AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT.
Thanks!

PLEASE READ - IN REGARDS TO PERSONA 5 SPOILERS
Spoiler policies have been updated. The full post is below, but the gist is as follows:
Major plot points need to be spoilered. This applies to all games. This includes things like character deaths and antagonist reveals. Generally speaking, it shouldn't be difficult to work out what constitutes as a large spoiler, but if you're unsure, mark it first and then ask someone.
In regards to Persona 5, we're allowing anything released in official media to be fair game, but anything beyond that needs to be spoilered. This includes discussing, embedding or linking materials not officially released by Atlus.
Sophia wrote some handy dandy guidelines if you're super unsure.
This is a thread for people who are passionate about Persona, and different people consider different things to be spoilers. Some people will want to go into the games entirely fresh, and we shouldn't hinder that. Being NeoGAF, all new media will have its own dedicated thread anyway, so if you desperately want to talk about something without tagging it, those threads would be the place.
Outside of these specific rules, the same rules as other Community Threads applies. Be civil with people, mark your spoilers, and where possible, try to stay on topic.
PersonaGAF IRC
The IRC Channel is a place to chat with this community, but without being restricted to discussing Persona. It is almost always occupied and a great place to just hang out.
UPDATE: IRC rules can now be found here.
Discord Channel
The guys who use the IRC have also opened a Discord channel, which is another alternative way to participate within the community.
Steam Group
We also have a Steam group, which gets less use now due to the IRC. However, it's still a good place for one-on-one conversations and a good tool for the community.
Most of us have, use and interact with each other on Twitter. I'm not going to list everyone's user names, but I'm sure that if you wanted to follow someone, they'd be happy to give out their Twitter handle.
FluxWaveZ recently opened up this Persona fan site, with the aim to create a place to keep a reliable, consistent update of the most recent Persona news.
S Link FM is an RPG themed podcast hosted by a handful of guys from the Persona community. Aside from covering many Persona related topics, they have also interviewed many of the actors from the Persona games, such as Karen Strassman and Erin Fitzgerald.
Aside from these projects, we have lots of smaller things going on. Various people stream games (Often SMT related). ShmeebAlina, Arue and Jintor contribute occasional art. TheTrueSelf creates various wallpapers, avatars and whatever. There's a lot of stuff going on.
So that's us. Hopefully you'll like it here enough to stay.
