The Persona series.

I've had numerous friends tell me how great it was and I should play it - but it took me until the year 2011 to actually try the series :P.

 

I've loved it so much that I've played Persona 1, Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Persona 3 Portable all in a row.

I've had difficulty playing Persona 2: Innocent Sin/the other half of Persona 2. I liked 1, and loved 3 & 4, but the 2 series is.. idk. I like the story but the battle system feels less exciting and the random encounter rate is annoyingly high. Idk probably just me, but I do like it the battle system and encounter rate turn me away from those 2 though x.x
