i would consider persona to be a different genre. it's closer to Pokemon with a lot of dialogue. i guess I'm defining visual novels partly as things that don't have much gameplay. if there is a significant other portion of gameplay with complex mechanics outside of dialogue that's just a different thing in my book.

I... don't love persona, but that more because i can't get into the teenage highschool drama. the number of times i felt myself internally screaming "holy shit i don't care, you won't even remember this in 5 years" made me eventually realize I just wasn't having a great time. liked the Pokemon fights though. I could see myself loving a different game that plays similar with a more mature story.
