I thought this game was about going to school and dating.
It is. Then you go into the dungeon crawler side of the game and some psychopath is making deals with elder gods.
Also the Persona subseries is lighter and has more mass market appeal. Most of the other games put you into an apocalypse within the first hour.
The social element is introduced in Persona 3 however the school setting can be traced back to SMT: if... that also introduces the spin off series Persona (Persona 3 before the re-release P3FES was marketed with Shin Megami Tensei moniker).
