Why Persona feels like JoJo

The long running spin off series of shin megami tensei Persona has a fair few similarities with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. In this video I try compare and contrast these similarities while also going a bit into detail about a certain interview Araki had with Kaneko Kazuma, the original concept designer for most of the demons and characters of the Persona series. I also take a look at what Shigenori Soejima has commented regarding his influence. I think most fans will be suprised by what the persona developers and artists have stated about this one.
