@@TheGamingShelf Personally I think Tokyo Xanadu eX+ is more inspired by the Cold Steel series, that also play in a school environment and have strange monster and environment appearances (example: Old Schoolhouse). I always have seen Tokyo as a blend between Cold Steel and Ys. Persona was not the first thing that came to mind when I was playing that game... Anyway - It's a great game, and I really hope Nihom Falcom will make a Tokyo Xanadu 2 someday.

It takes way too long for modern games to be made for Operation Darkness to have influenced Valkyria Chronicles. Tokyo Xanadu also lifts it's social and life sim system straight from Trails of Cold Steel.

Having a similar setting to Persona hardly makes Tokyo Xanadu a 'knockoff.' The themes and gameplay are completely different, not to mention pretty much... everything else aside from the fact that it shares a couple of VERY COMMON setting motifs. Tons of JRPGs have had social systems before Persona. Calling that a knockoff of its style is disingenuous at best, so unless you have a source interview where someone at Falcom directly states that the game was intended to ape Persona, I'm calling bullshit.

And also the whole School setting is'nt even unique, let alone originated in Persona.

It's just a middle-ground game that takes elements of Kiseki and Ys and blended them together into one.

Trails of TrashSteel literally changed its initial concept and characters thanks the Persona 4 success. They gave the main character a tachi (katana) like Yu Narukami and created the entire social link system (but a lot worse). Tokyo Xanadu comes later and have the same “structure” than Persona 4. The Tomboy has literally the same character’s arc than Chie (but worse developed). Rion is very similar to Rise’s character There’s a fog plot. But nobody died cause Falcom is made by coward writers with fanfic level of writing. Since Ys they are copying other games. Ys V is a failed attempt to rip off Zelda.
