When Is The Persona 25th Anniversary Event
Okay, let's talk about the Persona 25th anniversary. When WAS it, really? Did we miss the party?
The Official Timeline (and My Gripes)
Officially, Atlus says the anniversary ran from September 2021 to October 2022. Seems straightforward, right?
But here's my probably unpopular opinion: that's a really long anniversary window! Feels like stretching out a birthday cake until it's stale.
Must Read
Plus, did it really feel like a celebration for a full year? Honestly, I kinda forgot about it halfway through.
Was It Just Me?
Maybe I'm just a grumpy gamer. But I remember waiting... and waiting... and then more waiting.
We got some cool stuff, don't get me wrong. But did it live up to the hype of a 25th anniversary of such a beloved series like Persona?
I think Atlus could've condensed the announcements. Packed a bigger punch. Made it a truly unforgettable event.
The "Real" Anniversary (According to My Heart)
So, if the official celebration is over, does that mean we're done? Absolutely not!
See, Persona isn't just a game series. It's a feeling. A lifestyle (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little).
And that feeling? It exists outside of arbitrary dates. It exists whenever I'm humming "Life Will Change" or relating a bit too much to Ryuji Sakamoto.
My Radical Proposal
Therefore, I propose a new anniversary. A personal one.
It happens every time you start a new playthrough. Every time you introduce a friend to Persona 5 Royal.
Every time you yell "You'll never see it coming!" at an inappropriately loud volume (sorry, neighbors!).
Celebrating Persona Every Day
So, forget the official dates. Forget the marketing campaigns.
Let's celebrate Persona whenever the mood strikes. Let's make every day a little bit more stylish, a little bit more rebellious, and a lot more fun.
Because, let's be honest, the real anniversary is whenever you choose it to be. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Igor.
And that, my friends, is a celebration worth having. Don't you think so?
So next time someone asks, "When's the Persona 25th anniversary event?", just smile knowingly and say, "It's happening right now."
Because with Persona, the party never really stops. It just evolves.
