Goals, Obstacles and Rewards in Persona 5

I chose one of my favorite games, Persona 5 developed by Atlus. Persona 5 is a JRPG/Social Simulator with elements of dungeon crawling. It was released in Japan in September 2016 and worldwide in April 2017 and is available for PS3 and PS4.

The dungeons or “Palaces” that the player infiltrates in Persona 5 are filled with “Shadows”. These enemies are the obstacles of the game and they must be defeated to level up and progress through the game.

The goal in each Palace is to traverse through its many levels and locate the treasure room. Upon reaching the treasure room the player will encounter the Shadow of the Palace Ruler as the final boss and must defeat them.

Drops from enemies such as items, experience points, and money are the most common rewards in the game. The game also rewards the player for exploring every corner of the Palace. Rare items, treasures and weapons are hidden throughout the Palace, but it is up to the player to locate and unlock them.
