Stands or Persona, which one is better?

A world full of stands is more likely to fuck you up, but despite stand users being attracted to other stand users, you still have a decent chance to live a normal life and not even meet other stand users for a good chunk of your life.
If you wake up some day and you can summon a Persona, I'm sorry man, you are caught in another god's business dicking around with humanity

For the amount of persona in P5R, a good amount of them have some solid designs. And you can scroll forever through the list. The abilities not being as unique as stands are the issue.
How? What are the highest level personas compared to some of the highest level stands? Because of the latter, there's one that can essentially create a new universe and another that can jump between dimensions to swap bodies
Protag end-game personas got that low-key "POWER OF CREATION" shit going on that really only translate to punching harder in gameplay, so *shrugs*
Pretty sure the prerequisite for being able to summon Personas in the early games was to literally be possessed by a demon. Plus, the apocalypse.
So... yeah. Give me a Stand. Plus they have cool musical references.

Personas are only cool if you have the wild card/Fool. The average Persona user's powerset is as or more limited than a Stand but much, much less creative and generally with a far lower power ceiling.
Like ain't nobody want to be Junpei instead of Bucciarati.

Stands are able to have crazier and much stronger powers and abilities, but I prefer personas because of the psychological facet to them. They're literally their user; an extension like any limb. They coexist alongside them, and their powers and aesthetic are direct representations of who their users really are.
Stands aren't (necessarily) like that.

Which only works AFTER IT'S FUCKING USER DIES!!!
Nah, this is like watching only Jojo's Part 5 and then assuming you can only get a stand by getting shot by a deadly arrow with a 50/50 chance of straight up killing you instead of granting you powers.
Might not working that well. Stands that can create their own space can almost always get around creationist powers or abilities that effect space time.
I'd be so mad if I was him. That would be the stand if fucking get if I was in JoJo somehow.
Lemme rephrase. Persona endgame is a bit abstract where terms like "you embody the potential of man" and nonsense like that is casually thrown about implying you're rocking some absurd JRPG power levels but at the end of the day it's just you slapping around a god.
Way I see it, means a persona protag couldn't do jack shit about DIO's time stop. But DIO Over Heaven? A persona boi might ass-pull something to block that overwriting reality jazz.
Personally I think I like Stands more in terms of having more unique and interesting abilities. However, a fully maxed out Persona can potentially be a Swiss army knife of powers depending on how it's been built. Only Wild Cards can really access that aspect of Personas though, so I'd say on average a Stand is probably going to be the better pick than an average Persona.
There's an entire group of people in Persona 3 who are basically dying because their Persona is trying to murder them, and they have to take drugs to try and suppress it. Like don't get me wrong, I'd love a Persona that can choke me while I'm lying in bed, but that's a "sometimes" food and clearly not for everyone.
