Persona 5is game that may not have as big of an audience as some more mainstream AAA titles, but the Japanese RPG hasa well-deserved die-hard franchise following. The game’s iconic style and dialogue system are recognizable even to many players who have never given the series a shot, thanks to its inclusion in memes, mashups, and other pop culture references. In yet another bizarrePersonacrossover, one creative fan has imagined with an episode ofSeinfeldmight look like withPersona 5’sstyle.
While some games attempt to increase immersion by taking a minimalist approach to user interface design,Persona 5leans hard in the opposite directionand makes sure players know that they are living in aPersonaworld with giant, stylized dialogue captions and response choices. The unique style works incredibly well in the bombastic world that the franchise exists in, but it’s always strange to see that aesthetic applied to other examples of media.Seinfeldis just the latest in the string ofPersonacrossovers.
Here’s a look at aPersona-fied scene from the iconic 90s sitcom thatTriggerHappyPilot shared on YouTube…
Of all theSeinfeldscenes to choose from the show’s nine season run, this nightmare sequence is probably the perfect selection for aPersonaparody. Although the show is full of awkward interactions that end in conflict, not many actually turn to violence in the same same way this one does. It’s probably a very niche market, but fans of bothPersona 5andSeinfeldwill definitely appreciate this bizarre crossover that nobody asked for.
The mashups and parodies will likely start to die down now thatPersona 5has been out for a full month, but it seems safe to say that the game has secured a spot in niche meme culture for years to come. Luckily, it’s in good company now next toPreston Garvey’s invitationsto help and Ignis' killer recipes.
