Studio Zero's first game, made by the core Persona team: director Katsura Hashino, character designer Shigenori Soejima, composer Shoji Meguro. The king of Euchronia is assassinated and the throne goes to whoever wins a magically enforced Royal Tournament. You enter it while travelling with a fairy companion to lift a curse from the missing prince.
Archetypes
The class system. Over 40 unlockable Archetypes, and unlike Persona, every party member can hold several and swap between them. Put compatible Archetypes in the active party and they trigger Synthesis Skills, combined attacks that cost extra turn icons.
Two layer combat
Weak enemies can be killed on the field in real time without ever entering a battle screen. Anything tougher pulls you into a turn icon system built around exploiting weaknesses.
Calendar and Virtues
Quests and dungeons by day, bonds and Royal Virtues by night. Miss a story deadline and it is a game over. Five Virtues, Courage, Wisdom, Tolerance, Eloquence and Imagination, gate Follower ranks and side content. You travel between towns and dungeons on the Gauntlet Runner, a mobile base.
