Persona Mobile Online (ペルソナ モバイル オンライン) is a 2009 mobile MMORPG developed by BBMF, and published by Atlus and BBMF. Exclusively released in Japan, the game launched on March 16, 2009, for NTT Docomo’s Megaten α, and on November 5, 2009, for au’s EZweb. It integrates elements from Atlus's popular Persona series into a mobile multiplayer format. The game was available through a subscription model, with users paying ¥315 per month for access, and additional in-game purchases available for enhancing gameplay.

Development and Release

Persona Mobile Online emerged as part of Atlus's strategy to extend the Persona universe into new gaming platforms. The game's development was a collaboration between BBMF, a company specializing in mobile games, and Atlus, known for its Persona series. It was designed to bring the Persona experience to mobile devices, leveraging the social and interactive elements of MMORPGs.

Released initially for NTT Docomo's Megaten α, it later became available on Yahoo Keitai and EZweb platforms, catering to a broad range of mobile users in Japan. The game utilized a point-based system, where players could purchase points to access additional game content and features.

Gameplay

In Persona Mobile Online, players assume the role of a high school student at Yamori High School, tasked with defeating Shadows that threaten their environment. The game incorporates familiar elements from Persona 3, including the use of Personas and a modified Social Links system, now called Arcana Points. These points are earned by forming teams with others who share the same Arcana and are crucial for leveling up Personas and unlocking new ones from the Velvet Room.

Combat retains the series' signature mechanics, such as exploiting enemy weaknesses for additional turns, known as "One More" turns, and executing "All-Out Attacks" when enemies are incapacitated. Players can interact with avatars representing other users, recruit them into their parties, and communicate through the in-game chat system. Unique item systems include "Ore" for weapon upgrades, "Weapon Card Fusion" for enhancing weapons with Persona effects, and "Accessory Creation" through collected gems.

Synopsis

Set within the world of Persona, Persona Mobile Online immerses players in a story where they must confront and eliminate Shadows. As students at Yamori High School, players engage in various activities to strengthen their Personas and prepare for battles. The narrative unfolds through interactions with other characters, progression in social links, and combat encounters, all while managing the mobile MMORPG's multiplayer elements.
