Move to "Persona (series)"?

I propose this article be moved to Persona (series), because everywhere I read about these games I see it referred to as the Persona series, or as a part of the larger Shin Megami Tensei series, but never as the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. --gakon^{5 (talk / contribs)} 01:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth appending "Shin Megami Tensei" is just being centric to the North American ports of these games. Which add the super title for name recognition. Seems like a mouth full. I don't know what Wikipedia policy is on this. I think it would be to drop the Super Title if pressed --12.213.80.36 (talk) 06:25, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jungian Psychology

Can there be some mention of the role of Jungian Psychology in these series? I think it is a common element that deserves some attention and which seems to be invariably weaved into all the games I'm farmiliar with. Both the 'Shadow' and the 'Persona' are concepts/archetypes widely discussed by Jung, and many of the games seem to deal heavily with the collective unconscious. Some characters draw their names directly from Jungian elements. The name 'Philemon' was a deliberate reference to the name Jung gave his archetypal wise old man. Additional information/sources would be appreciated, and I feel that since these elements persist through all of the games in this series that it would be better mentioned here than in each individual article. 66.253.36.46 (talk) 03:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know of any developer interviews, or website/print articles that explicitly explain the connection? Otherwise you're out of luck on getting it in any article. --gakon^{5 (talk / contribs)} 00:39, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
