==Synopsis==
{{Main|{{Sect|Persona 5|Synopsis}}}}

After an incident where he allegedly assaulted [[Masayoshi Shido|a man]], [[Ren Amamiya]]{{Note|The 2022 re-release of ''Royal'' uses the name 'Ren Amamiya' as the default if language is changed during play.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote=Because the language was changed, the Protagonist's name will be set to "Ren Amamiya" and the group name will be "The Phantoms." If you want to play with the name you entered, you will need to revert to the language used when the name was created.|translquote=|title=Persona 5 Royal|developer=|publisher=|platform=2022 re-release|version=|lang=|transl=}}</ref>}} is put on probation and forced to transfer to [[Shujin Academy]] in [[Tokyo (Persona 5)|Tokyo]]. The night he arrives at his new [[Café Leblanc|home]] for the year, he starts having strange [[Velvet Room|dreams]] where he is a prisoner of fate that must be rehabilitated to stand against 'the distortion of the world' and prevent future Ruin. A phone app from the [[Igor|prison master]] grants him access to the Metaverse, a cognitive world that creates loci of strong distorted thoughts, such as that Shujin Academy's [[Suguru Kamoshida|PE teacher]] is a sadist and pervert who thinks he rules the school as king. With new schoolmate acquaintances [[Ryuji Sakamoto|Ryuji]] and [[Ann Takamaki|Ann]], Ren awakens to his [[persona|spirit of rebellion]], and resolves to fight for other victims of unjust adults who cannot be touched by the law. They are joined by [[Morgana]], a cat-shaped being who hopes to regain his memories and turn human again by investigating deeper into the Metaverse. Together, they become the [[Phantom Thieves of Hearts]].

The main story of {{Link|Game|P5}}, including the original game endings, can still be obtained in ''Persona 5 Royal''. However, the plot is expanded with new characters and new scenes, especially for [[Sumire Yoshizawa|Kasumi Yoshizawa]], [[Goro Akechi]], and [[Takuto Maruki]]. By deepening the [[Confidant|relationship]] with these characters during the original conquests of the Phantom Thieves, events after Christmas Day can change.

The deepest desires of the citizens of Tokyo—including most of the members of the Phantom Thieves—have come true, without an explanation of how or why. Ren appears to be the only one acknowledging that anything is different compared to before Christmas. With his teammates happy with their changed lives, Ren must investigate alone to find the cause of this mysteriously altered reality and a way to bring his friends to acknowledge the truth.

==Gameplay Changes==
{{Sectionstub}}
A new [[Palace]], new [[Mementos]] area, and additional bosses can be unlocked through actions taken over the course of the original {{Link|Game|P5}} plot. Multiple new endings are also added for different choices made during the third semester.
===Social Life Changes===
* New explorable location [[Kichijoji#Persona 5 Royal|Kichijoji]] has stores and activities that give benefits for battling. New hangout locations have also been added.
* Confidant progression and rank rewards have been modified and hangout events have been added or remixed.
** Two new [[Confidant]]s are added: The [[Faith (Arcana)|Faith]] represented by [[Sumire Yoshizawa|Kasumi Yoshizawa]], and The [[Councillor (Arcana)|Councillor]] represented by [[Takuto Maruki]]. The [[Justice (Arcana)|Justice]] Confidant is changed from automatic progression to manual progression.
** Confidant rank-up events frequently have a new follow-up phone call which gives an additional chance for affinity points toward the next rank. Giving gifts is available only if lacking the points for the next rank-up at the end of a hangout.
** Some Confidants may be encountered while working a [[part-time job]] or doing [[laundry]], and have a short conversation that ups Confidant affinity points.
** Maxed-out party member Confidants can obtain a third evolution for their Persona in the third semester.
* The [[Calendar in Persona 5 Royal|Calendar]] system has been adjusted for more available free time.
** The crossword puzzle in [[Café Leblanc]] no longer passes time.
** More nights have free time, even if the daytime portion is passed by story events. Many added evenings are confined to within Leblanc, but additional activities are available in that location.
* The [[Thieves Den]] is a canon-aside cognitive Palace of the protagonist, in which the player can view characters interacting in game locations, various media unlocked through game progression, and in-game achievements, as well as play a [[Tycoon|card mini-game]].

===Battle Changes===
* All [[Palace]] layouts have been adjusted for additional content, including [[grappling hook]] actions, [[Will Seed]] locations, and [[Treasure Chest]] and searchable object locations and rewards. All [[Bosses in Persona 5 Royal|bosses]] have adjusted mechanics and actions, and new enemies include [[Savage Shadow]] and [[Disaster Shadow]].
* The [[Security Level]] during [[Palace]] infiltration starts at 40%. Post-[[Calling Card]] infiltration now starts at 100% and will not go below 80% (compared to 99% reducible to 70%) and reaching 100% during any visit does not force the infiltration to end. During high alert levels, [[Treasure Demons]] are more likely to appear with other [[Shadow]]s, while all battles may have additional enemies arrivals for a maximum of three consecutive battles in one encounter.
* [[Equipment in Persona 5 Royal#Accessories|Accessories]] give party members an additional "skill slot" which can be a passive or usable [[Skills in Persona 5 Royal|skill]].
* [[Equipment in Persona 5 Royal#Ranged Weapons|Ranged Weapons]] reload at the end of each battle instead of each [[Metaverse]] visit. They can now be customized and upgraded by [[Munehisa Iwai]] at [[Untouchable]] to have various additional effects or stats.
* [[Baton Pass]] is no longer unlocked through Confidants, but unlocked by default for party members. Playing [[Kichijoji (Persona 5 Royal)|darts]] with party members can unlock extra damage and buffs for consecutive Baton Passes.
* [[Technical]] damage and usable elements has been expanded. Playing [[Kichijoji (Persona 5 Royal)|billiards]] can unlock extra damage, usable elements, and the ability to [[Down]] enemies.
* Plot events unlock [[Showtime]]s, character team-up attacks that deal critical damage.
* The [[Compendium]] has new standard and DLC Personas, and many previous Personas have changed [[Arcana]], levels, [[Skills in Persona 5 Royal|skills]], elemental attributes, and [[Electric Chair|itemization]]. Personas now have traits, which are passive abilities that can be generally passed on through [[fusion]] in the [[Velvet Room]].
* [[Mementos]] has new areas, additional [[Mementos Mission|mission]]s, new music and aesthetics at different levels, collectible [[stamp]]s, and [[Deviation]] effects that occur randomly during exploration. Shadows will respawn infinitely in a level if the party moves away and returns.
** A new character, [[Jose]], appears sporadically in Mementos levels. For [[stamp]]s he can change the amount of Item/Exp/Money received while in Mementos, and will also trade items for 'flower' currency found around Mementos that disappears at the end of a visit. He will automatically improve the function of [[Equipment in Persona 5 Royal#Accessories|accessories]] made from collected [[Will Seed]]s.
* The [[Velvet Room]] has various mechanical changes, including removal of the once-per-day limit for the [[Electric Chair]], adjustments to [[Lockdown]] training, and increased ease of [[group guillotine]] fusions.
** [[Fusion Alarm]] increases the effectiveness [[Velvet Room]] actions, but has a high chance of a special [[Fusion Accident]] after the first action is performed.
** Optional battles set by the [[Twin Wardens]] are available in the [[Velvet Room]], that give rewards based on points for specific actions earned during battle.
** Two new [[Lavenza|secret]] [[Jose|boss]] battles were added.

===Misc Changes===
*A different text font is used in dialogue and menu boxes.
* [[The Reaper]] is no longer susceptible to [[Despair]] during Flu Season [[weather]].
* Many small character scenes in the original plotline have been added or changed, including:
** The [[Ren Amamiya|protagonist]]’s and [[Ryuji Sakamoto|Ryuji]]’s encounters with two queer men in [[Shinjuku (Persona 5)|Shinjuku]] are rewritten (at least in English) to lessen the negative stereotypes of of those scenes.
** [[Sumire Yoshizawa|Kasumi]]’s awakening and foreshadowing of the additional [[Palace]] have been added between the fourth and fifth Palaces.
** A Café hangout with Kasumi and Goro Akechi in [[Kichijoji]].
** [[Goro Akechi]]'s [[Justice (Arcana)|confidant]] was radically changed to a manual progression up to a certain series of plot events.
** Some dialogue previously unvoiced in the game is now voiced, including anime cutscenes.
** [[Haru Okumura]], [[Makoto Niijima]], [[Sae Niijima]], [[Goro Akechi]], [[Tae Takemi]], and [[Ichiko Ohya]] make cameos earlier in the game than their original appearances.
*There are 22 new Personas:
**[[Alilat]]
**[[Atavaka]]
**[[Byakhee]]
**[[Cait Sith]]
**[[Chimera]]
**[[Fafnir]]
**[[Hastur]]
**[[Loa]]
**[[Macabre]]

'''''Persona 2: Eternal Punishment''''' is a 2000 role-playing game for the [[PlayStation]], and the third entry in the {{Link|Series|p-}}. It was developed and published by [[Atlus]] and released on June 29, 2000 in Japan, and on November 30, 2000 in North America. A remaster of the game was released for the [[PlayStation Portable]] on May 17, 2012 in Japan.

''Eternal Punishment'' is the direct sequel to the 1999 PlayStation game {{Link|Game|p2is}}. Despite this, ''Eternal Punishment'' was the second ''Persona'' title to be released in North America after {{Link|Game|mip}} (where it was titled ''Revelations: Persona'') while ''Innocent Sin'' was skipped. The localization of ''Eternal Punishment'' therefore changed a number of details to reflect the localization changes in ''Revelations: Persona'', mainly with regards to the renamed cast. Although the PlayStation Portable remaster of ''Innocent Sin'' did receive a release outside of Japan, the PlayStation Portable version of ''Eternal Punishment'' did not. In acknowledgement of this, the PlayStation version of ''Eternal Punishment'' was made available on the PlayStation Network in North America on February 26, 2013.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=There’s good news and bad news about that. The bad news is that unusual circumstances have prevented us from localizing Eternal Punishment PSP the way we’d have liked to, but the good news is that you can still find out how the story of Tatsuya Suou, Maya Amano, and the Joker curse ends! Unlike Innocent Sin, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment was localized once before on PlayStation in 2000, and it’s that version of the game that we’re bringing to PSN as a PSOne classic now.|author=|url=[https://blog.playstation.com/2013/02/25/persona-2-eternal-punishment-hits-psn-tomorrow/ Persona 2: Eternal Punishment hits PSN Tomorrow]|archive=|published=February 25, 2013|retrieved=July 6, 2023|site=PlayStation.Blog|type=}}</ref>

* A new side story quest called "Additional Scenario" is accessible from the Velvet Room after completing the GOLD dungeon. The story is split into 3 chapters that will only unlock after completing certain dungeons in the Nanjo route. If the player chose Elly's route then only the first chapter is unlocked due to the laboratory in Nanjo's route being a key dungeon to the story.
* An updated UI with customizable coloring has been added.
* The ability to toggle animation speeds. This appears in the English fan translation which classifies these as "REAL" for normal animations and "SIMPLE" for shortened animations.
* A new remixed soundtrack can be turned on/off in the settings.
* Cutscenes as well as music (the latter being unlocked after finishing the game) can be accessed in the title screen under the "Gallery" option. The EX Dungeon's gallery was the original way to access this in the PlayStation 1 version but has been removed in the PSP version since it is not needed anymore.
* Cutscenes can be skipped with the "Start" button on the controller.
* New Game+ now carries over Material Cards, yen, and casino coins.
* Active status effects from fortune telling and aromatherapy can be seen from the pause HUD.

Forced to transfer to a high school in Tokyo, the protagonist has a strange dream. “You truly are a prisoner of fate. In the near future, ruin awaits you.” With the goal of “rehabilitation” looming overhead, he must save others from distorted desires by donning the mask of a Phantom Thief.

==Synopsis==
{{Main|{{Sect|Persona 5|Synopsis}}}}

After an incident where he allegedly assaulted [[Masayoshi Shido|a man]], [[Ren Amamiya]]{{Note|The 2022 re-release of ''Royal'' uses the name 'Ren Amamiya' as the default if language is changed during play.<ref>{{Cite Game|quote=Because the language was changed, the Protagonist's name will be set to "Ren Amamiya" and the group name will be "The Phantoms." If you want to play with the name you entered, you will need to revert to the language used when the name was created.|translquote=|title=Persona 5 Royal|developer=|publisher=|platform=2022 re-release|version=|lang=|transl=}}</ref>}} is put on probation and forced to transfer to [[Shujin Academy]] in [[Tokyo (Persona 5)|Tokyo]]. The night he arrives at his new [[Café Leblanc|home]] for the year, he starts having strange [[Velvet Room|dreams]] where he is a prisoner of fate that must be rehabilitated to stand against 'the distortion of the world' and prevent future Ruin. A phone app from the [[Igor|prison master]] grants him access to the Metaverse, a cognitive world that creates loci of strong distorted thoughts, such as that Shujin Academy's [[Suguru Kamoshida|PE teacher]] is a sadist and pervert who thinks he rules the school as king. With new schoolmate acquaintances [[Ryuji Sakamoto|Ryuji]] and [[Ann Takamaki|Ann]], Ren awakens to his [[persona|spirit of rebellion]], and resolves to fight for other victims of unjust adults who cannot be touched by the law. They are joined by [[Morgana]], a cat-shaped being who hopes to regain his memories and turn human again by investigating deeper into the Metaverse. Together, they become the [[Phantom Thieves of Hearts]].

The main story of {{Link|Game|P5}}, including the original game endings, can still be obtained in ''Persona 5 Royal''. However, the plot is expanded with new characters and new scenes, especially for [[Sumire Yoshizawa|Kasumi Yoshizawa]], [[Goro Akechi]], and [[Takuto Maruki]]. By deepening the [[Confidant|relationship]] with these characters during the original conquests of the Phantom Thieves, events after Christmas Day can change.

The deepest desires of the citizens of Tokyo—including most of the members of the Phantom Thieves—have come true, without an explanation of how or why. Ren appears to be the only one acknowledging that anything is different compared to before Christmas. With his teammates happy with their changed lives, Ren must investigate alone to find the cause of this mysteriously altered reality and a way to bring his friends to acknowledge the truth.

{{SeePlot|Persona 5 Royal}}

==Gameplay Changes==
{{Sectionstub}}
A new [[Palace]], new [[Mementos]] area, and additional bosses can be unlocked through actions taken over the course of the original {{Link|Game|P5}} plot. Multiple new endings are also added for different choices made during the third semester.
===Social Life Changes===
* New explorable location [[Kichijoji#Persona 5 Royal|Kichijoji]] has stores and activities that give benefits for battling. New hangout locations have also been added.
* Confidant progression and rank rewards have been modified and hangout events have been added or remixed.
** Two new [[Confidant]]s are added: The [[Faith (Arcana)|Faith]] represented by [[Sumire Yoshizawa|Kasumi Yoshizawa]], and The [[Councillor (Arcana)|Councillor]] represented by [[Takuto Maruki]]. The [[Justice (Arcana)|Justice]] Confidant is changed from automatic progression to manual progression.
** Confidant rank-up events frequently have a new follow-up phone call which gives an additional chance for affinity points toward the next rank. Giving gifts is available only if lacking the points for the next rank-up at the end of a hangout.
** Some Confidants may be encountered while working a [[part-time job]] or doing [[laundry]], and have a short conversation that ups Confidant affinity points.
** Maxed-out party member Confidants can obtain a third evolution for their Persona in the third semester.
* The [[Persona 5 Calendar|Calendar]] system has been adjusted for more available free time.
** The crossword puzzle in [[Café Leblanc]] no longer passes time.
** More nights have free time, even if the daytime portion is passed by story events. Many added evenings are confined to within Leblanc, but additional activities are available in that location.
* The [[Thieves Den]] is a canon-aside cognitive Palace of the protagonist, in which the player can view characters interacting in game locations, various media unlocked through game progression, and in-game achievements, as well as play a [[Tycoon|card mini-game]].

=== Battle Changes ===
* All [[Palace]] layouts have been adjusted for additional content, including [[grappling hook]] actions, [[Will Seed]] locations, and [[Treasure Chest]] and searchable object locations and rewards. All [[Bosses in Persona 5 Royal|bosses]] have adjusted mechanics and actions, and new enemies include [[Savage Shadow]] and [[Disaster Shadow]].
* The [[Security Level]] during [[Palace]] infiltration starts at 40%. Post-[[Calling Card]] infiltration now starts at 100% and will not go below 80% (compared to 99% reducible to 70%) and reaching 100% during any visit does not force the infiltration to end. During high alert levels, [[Treasure Demons]] are more likely to appear with other [[Shadow]]s, while all battles may have additional enemies arrivals for a maximum of three consecutive battles in one encounter.
* [[Equipment in Persona 5 Royal#Accessories|Accessories]] give party members an additional "skill slot" which can be a passive or usable [[Skills in Persona 5 Royal|skill]].
* [[Equipment in Persona 5 Royal#Ranged Weapons|Ranged Weapons]] reload at the end of each battle instead of each [[Metaverse]] visit. They can now be customized and upgraded by [[Munehisa Iwai]] at [[Untouchable]] to have various additional effects or stats.
* [[Baton Pass]] is no longer unlocked through Confidants, but unlocked by default for party members. Playing [[Kichijoji (Persona 5 Royal)|darts]] with party members can unlock extra damage and buffs for consecutive Baton Passes.
* [[Technical]] damage and usable elements has been expanded. Playing [[Kichijoji (Persona 5 Royal)|billiards]] can unlock extra damage, usable elements, and the ability to [[Down]] enemies.
* Plot events unlock [[Showtime]]s, character team-up attacks that deal critical damage.
* The [[Compendium]] has new standard and DLC Personas, and many previous Personas have changed [[Arcana]], levels, [[Skills in Persona 5 Royal|skills]], elemental attributes, and [[Electric Chair|itemization]]. Personas now have traits, which are passive abilities that can be generally passed on through [[fusion]] in the [[Velvet Room]].
* [[Mementos]] has new areas, additional [[Mementos Mission|mission]]s, new music and aesthetics at different levels, collectible [[stamp]]s, and [[Deviation]] effects that occur randomly during exploration. Shadows will respawn infinitely in a level if the party moves away and returns.
** A new character, [[Jose]], appears sporadically in Mementos levels. For [[stamp]]s he can change the amount of Item/Exp/Money received while in Mementos, and will also trade items for 'flower' currency found around Mementos that disappears at the end of a visit. He will automatically improve the function of [[Equipment in Persona 5 Royal#Accessories|accessories]] made from collected [[Will Seed]]s.
* The [[Velvet Room]] has various mechanical changes, including removal of the once-per-day limit for the [[Electric Chair]], adjustments to [[Lockdown]] training, and increased ease of [[group guillotine]] fusions.
** [[Fusion Alarm]] increases the effectiveness [[Velvet Room]] actions, but has a high chance of a special [[Fusion Accident]] after the first action is performed.
** Optional battles set by the [[Twin Wardens]] are available in the [[Velvet Room]], that give rewards based on points for specific actions earned during battle.
** Two new [[Lavenza|secret]] [[Jose|boss]] battles were added.

===Misc Changes===
*A different text font is used in dialogue and menu boxes.
* [[The Reaper]] is no longer susceptible to [[Despair]] during Flu Season [[weather]].
* Many small character scenes in the original plotline have been added or changed, including:
** The [[Ren Amamiya|protagonist]]’s and [[Ryuji Sakamoto|Ryuji]]’s encounters with two queer men in [[Shinjuku (Persona 5)|Shinjuku]] are rewritten (at least in English) to lessen the negative stereotypes of of those scenes.
** [[Sumire Yoshizawa|Kasumi]]’s awakening and foreshadowing of the additional [[Palace]] have been added between the fourth and fifth Palaces.
** A Café hangout with Kasumi and Goro Akechi in [[Kichijoji]].
** [[Goro Akechi]]'s [[Justice (Arcana)|confidant]] was radically changed to a manual progression up to a certain series of plot events.
** Some dialogue previously unvoiced in the game is now voiced, including anime cutscenes.
** [[Haru Okumura]], [[Makoto Niijima]], [[Sae Niijima]], [[Goro Akechi]], [[Tae Takemi]], and [[Ichiko Ohya]] make cameos earlier in the game than their original appearances.
*There are 22 new Personas:

'''''Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers''''' is a 1997 role-playing game for the Sega Saturn, it is the second installment in the {{Link|Series|desum-}}. Developed and published by [[Atlus]], the game made its debut in Japan on November 13, 1997.

In its narrative, ''Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers'' combines cyberpunk elements with occult themes, creating a distinctive and immersive gaming experience. Players navigate the futuristic city of Amami, encountering demons, hacking into computer systems, and unraveling a complex plot that intertwines technology and the supernatural. The game stands out for its engaging story-line, strategic turn-based battles, and the inclusion of the Devil Summoning System, allowing players to conjure and control demons to aid them in their quest.

Atlus has re-released this game twice. First, as a port for the PlayStation on April 8, 1999. This port was only released in Japan.

The Second re-release was on Nintendo 3DS. It was released on August 30, 2012 in Japan, on April 16, 2013 in North America, September 20, 2013 in Europe, and September 26, 2013 in Australia. This remaster not only introduced enhanced graphics and additional content but also marked the first and only official release of ''Soul Hackers'' outside of Japan.

''Soul Hackers'' received two sequels. The first is a direct sequel in {{Link|Game|SHI}}, and the second is {{Link|Game|SH2}}.

'''''Shin Megami Tensei''''' is a series in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]] and a follow-up to the {{Link|Series|mt-}} of role-playing video games developed by [[Atlus]].<ref name="history">{{Cite Web|quote=デジタル・デビル物語女神転生」を原点とし、1992年以降、多くの個性的な作品を生み出してきた本シリーズ。『ペルソナ』や『デビルサマナー』など、人気シリーズもここから生まれた。|translquote=Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei was the starting point for this series, which has produced many unique works since 1992.

The game expanded many of the same ideas and themes used in the original ''Megami Tensei'' video games, including recruiting [[Demon]]s through [[Negotiation]] and [[Fusion|fusing]] them. The ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games are also notable for their multiple endings determined by the player's choices, most often through the recurring [[Alignment]] system.

Since its inception, the series has expanded with the release of several other self-contained titles and related media. It has also spawned several other side-series, including the {{Link|Series|desum-}}, {{Link|Series|p-}}, and others.<ref name="history"/>

==Trivia==

==Nomenclature==
''Shin Megami Tensei'' is translated as "True Goddess Reincarnation" or as "True Goddess Metempsychosis".<ref name="metempsychosis">{{Cite Book|quote='Shin Megami Tensei' is a Japanese phrase that translates as 'True Goddess Metempsychosis.' An unusual piece of philosophical jargon, 'metempsychosis' refers specifically to the unending process of birth, death, and rebirth that is of central importance to the Buddhist religious tradition. Even deities are slaves to the cycle of metempsychosis in Buddhist thought, and this belief features prominently in the plotlines of the various Shin Megami Tensei games. Who exactly the titular 'goddess' is supposed to be is usually left up to the player. Each SMT game features a female character that the title could be referring to, or it could be taken as a reference to radical transformations that Japan itself experiences during the course of a game.|chapter=|book=Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne - Official Strategy Guide|author=|publisher=DoubleJump Books|lang=|volume=|edition=|page=p. 385|isbn=}}</ref> [[Wikipedia:Metempsychosis|Metempsychosis]] is a process of transmigration of the soul through birth, death, and rebirth, which is central to Buddhist religious tradition and is predominately featured as a recurring plotline in the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games.<ref name="metempsychosis"/> The "Goddess" referenced does not necessarily refer to any one character in each title, but can be interpreted as a reference to a game's leading female character or to the transformation that Japan experiences in-game.<ref name="metempsychosis"/>

Official Japanese material has often rendered ''Shin Megami Tensei'' in English as "''Shin Digital Devil Story''" or "''Shin DDS''", though this is not a direct translation.

''Shin Megami Tensei'' is translated as "True Goddess Reincarnation" or as "True Goddess Metempsychosis".<ref name="metempsychosis">{{Cite Book|quote='Shin Megami Tensei' is a Japanese phrase that translates as 'True Goddess Metempsychosis.' An unusual piece of philosophical jargon, 'metempsychosis' refers specifically to the unending process of birth, death, and rebirth that is of central importance to the Buddhist religious tradition. Even deities are slaves to the cycle of metempsychosis in Buddhist thought, and this belief features prominently in the plotlines of the various Shin Megami Tensei games. Who exactly the titular 'goddess' is supposed to be is usually left up to the player. Each SMT game features a female character that the title could be referring to, or it could be taken as a reference to radical transformations that Japan itself experiences during the course of a game.|chapter=|book=Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne - Official Strategy Guide|author=|publisher=DoubleJump Books|lang=|volume=|edition=|page=p. 385|isbn=}}</ref> [[Wikipedia:Metempsychosis|Metempsychosis]] is a process of transmigration of the soul through birth, death, and rebirth, which is central to Buddhist religious tradition and is predominately featured as a recurring plotline in the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games.<ref name="metempsychosis"/> The "Goddess" referenced does not necessarily refer to any one character in each title, but can be interpreted as a reference to a game's leading female character or to the transformation that Japan experiences in-game.<ref name="metempsychosis"/>

Official Japanese material has often rendered ''Shin Megami Tensei'' in English as "''Shin Digital Devil Story''" or "''Shin DDS''", though this is not a direct translation.

==On Strega==
Hello, I've been editing the Persona page recently and apparently caused a bit of an editing frenzy. You mentioned in your comments wanting to do more research on Strega regarding the suppressants. Check 9/7 in P3Re for a conversation between Takaya and Jin implying that they need their evokers. Shinji talks about the use of suppressants on 9/10 at the hospital.There's a few more conversations about it but those are the relevant ones. I should also note that Takaya specifically, doesn't need an evoker you can see that in his fights.

Thanks,

Cronomax: /* Description */ Corrected Strega information and made Artificial persona users their own section. Nothing in game indicates that Strega uses drugs to actually summon their persona. Rather they use the drugs to suppress their persona to prevent it from killing them. Minor grammatical edits.

== Description ==
Personas are considered to be called forth from the "Sea of Souls", or the collective human consciousness.{{Exp App|P1|P2IS|P2EP|P5|P5R}} Similarly to [[Demon]]s, they take the forms of gods, demons, or historical folk figures as they are symbolic of power.{{Exp App|P5|P5R}} Persona are a tamed form of [[Shadow (Persona)|Shadows]] with the main difference being the ability to control them.{{Exp App|P3|P3F|P3P|P5|P5R}}

In order to obtain a Persona, one can be either given one by a higher power such as [[Philemon]], or obtain it through confronting high emotions. In {{Link|Game|P3}}, [[Evoker]]s are used to emulate the heightened mental emotion of firing a gun to your head to "coarse" a Persona to appear. In {{Link|Game|P4}} and {{Link|Game|P5}}, a Persona is usually obtained by confronting one's [[Shadow (Persona)|Shadow Self]] in some way and accepting their express feelings as a part of them, either by confronting their physical presence after they have been defeated{{Exp App|P4|P4G|P4A}} or agreeing with their thoughts, usually shown by the future Persona-user having yellow eyes similar to a Shadow Self.{{Exp App|P5|P5R|P5S}}

Artificial persona users are persona users who's Persona where either artificial induced or implanted.<ref>[[Persona 3]], [[Persona 4 Arena Ultimax]]</ref> In many cases these Persona users require suppressant drugs to prevent their Persona from killing them.<ref name=":0">[[Persona 3]]</ref> A regular persona user may use suppressants as well to suppress their persona.<ref name=":0" />

While Personas are freely summoned in the first two games in the real world{{Exp App|P1|P2IS|P2EP}}, later games usually only have a Persona be available in certain areas, such as the [[Dark Hour]], the [[Midnight Channel]], or the [[Cognitive World]].

In {{Link|Game|P3}} media and forward, Persona-users generally can only have one Persona that may change or grow stronger over time. The exception being holders of the "Wild Card", usually of the [[Fool Arcana]], in which the Arcana symbolism means they are able to obtain multiple Persona of any Arcana, with their bonds with people who have that similar Arcana allowing them to make Persona of the respective Arcana stronger. However, mostly media outside the mainline games usually will have the characters mainly only use their starting Persona.

In {{Link|Game|PQ1}} and {{Link|Game|PQ2}}, the nature of the place those games are in combined with multiple "Wild Card" Persona-users together create a situation where they cannot use any Persona other than their original one, but are able to use [[Sub-Persona]]s, alongside other character who normally could not have different Personas.

==Gameplay==
Personas, alongside Shadows act as the ''Persona'' series' equivalent to [[Demon]]s in other ''Megami Tensei'' games, which can be summoned into battles by their Persona-user and [[Fusion|fused]] by the player. Personas are associated with the [[Arcana]], which group Personas and [[Shadow]]s by the Major Arcana tarot.

===''Megami Ibunroku Persona'' and ''Persona 2: Innocent Sin / Persona 2: Eternal Punishment''===

===''Persona 3'' onward===
From {{link|game|P3}} onward, Personas are generally considered to be unique and mostly unchangeable for most characters who wield them with the exception of those with the [[Fool (Arcana)|"Wild Card"]] (usually the player character), which allows them to hold multiple personas of each Arcana. The player can use the [[Social Links|Social Link]] system (In ''Persona 3'' and ''Persona 4'') or the [[Confidants|Confidant]] system with a character relating to a specific arcana in order to increase the strength of the Personas of the respective Arcana. Completing an Arcana will unlock new options for fusion.

Other party member may obtain an "Ultimate Persona" later in their respective games. In ''Persona 3'', [[S.E.E.S.]] members will automatically obtain their Ultimate Personas as the story progresses. In ''Persona 4'' and ''Persona 5'', Ultimate Personas are obtained by fully completing a party member's respective Arcana. In ''Persona 4 Golden'' and ''Persona 5 Royal'', doing this activates a "Second Awakening" later on for that character in the respective game's new story segment.

During the [[Challenge Quest]] "[[Messiahs in the Diamond Realm]]", [[Stephen]] transported Aleph's soul to the [[Diamond Realm]] alongside the [[Hero (Shin Megami Tensei)|Hero]], the [[Demi-fiend]], and [[Flynn]]. Each of them met an unavoidable fate in their original worlds as a result of [[YHVH]]'s machinations; in Aleph's case, he was killed by the [[Ark (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Megiddo Ark]]. [[Nanashi]] would eventually restore the bodies and memories of the four messiahs, culminating in a fight against Stephen himself. Once the battle was over, a portal opened in the Diamond Realm, allowing Aleph and the other messiahs to return to their original worlds. Before he leaves, Aleph says he and his [[Hiroko|partner]] must defeat YHVH.

'''Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers''' is a 1997 role-playing game for the Sega Saturn, recognized as the second installment in the {{Link|Series|desum-}}. Developed and published by [[Atlus|Atlus,]] the game made its debut in Japan on November 13, 1997. This initial release laid the foundation for what would become a cult classic among fans of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.

In its narrative, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers combines cyberpunk elements with occult themes, creating a distinctive and immersive gaming experience. Players navigate the futuristic city of Amami, encountering demons, hacking into computer systems, and unraveling a complex plot that intertwines technology and the supernatural. The game stands out for its engaging story-line, strategic turn-based battles, and the innovative inclusion of the Devil Summoning System, allowing players to conjure and control demons to aid them in their quest.

Recognizing the enduring appeal of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, Atlus opted to revisit and enhance the game for modern platforms. The first of these endeavors came with a port for the PlayStation on April 8, 1999, extending the game's reach to a new generation of players. However, it wasn't until the remaster for the Nintendo 3DS that the title experienced a truly global release.

The Nintendo 3DS version of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, released on August 30, 2012, in Japan, and subsequently on April 16, 2013, in North America, September 20, 2013, in Europe, and September 26, 2013, in Australia, marked a significant milestone. This remaster not only introduced enhanced graphics and additional content but also marked the first and only official release of Soul Hackers outside of Japan.

Soul hackers received two sequels. The first is a direct sequel in Soul Hackers Intruder, the second is Soul Hackers 2.

'''Goro Akechi''' ({{JP|明智吾郎|Akechi Gorou}}) is a playable character in {{Link|Game|P5}}. He is a detective investigating the [[Phantom Thieves of Hearts]].

==Profile==
Goro Akechi is a third-year high school student and talented detective/ Despite his youth, Akechi quickly rises to fame as the "Second Detective Prince," achieving celebrity status for his intelligence and charm. A young man of conviction, well-mannered, and affable, he investigates the [[psychotic breakdowns]] and [[mental shutdowns]] alongside [[Sae Niijima]], which leads him to oppose the [[Phantom Thieves of Hearts]]. His public image as a charismatic and well-mannered young man masks a more complex and conflicted personality.

=== {{Link|Game|P5}} ===
While Akechi is the second playable character to appear in the game post-intro, alongside [[Sae Niijima]] on 4/10, the Phantom Thieves—Joker, Ryuji, Ann and Morgana—don't directly encounter him until 6/9, during the Social Studies visit to a TV studio in Akasaka. He eavesdrops on them in the corridor before trying to ingratiate himself. The next day, on 6/10, the Thieves watch a filming of ''Good Morning Japan'', where Akechi sets out his public platform: the Phantom Thieves likely don't exist, but if they do, should be tried in a court of law for their crimes, since ''"you should never forcefully change a person's heart"''. After the filming, he approaches Joker, who exchanged words with him during filming, and asks if they can continue exchanging thoughts. This unlocks Akechi's confidant.

Akechi continues to appear over the following months, apparently investigating the [[mental shutdowns]] and [[psychotic breakdowns]] alongside Sae. His investigation focuses more and more on the Phantom Thieves, culminating in his blackmail of them on 10/26 at the [[Shujin Academy|Shujin]] culture festival, when he produces photographs of them exiting the [[Metaverse]], and reveals that he has [[Persona]] power of his own. He proposes joining the team for one mission, to change the heart of Sae Niijima, after which the Phantom Thieves will disband.

Left with no choice, the Thieves accept this deal. On 10/29, Akechi joins the party with the codename "Crow", using the Persona [[Robin Hood]], and participates in the [[Sae's Palace]] mission. At its climax, after [[Shadow Sae]]'s defeat, the events of the game's intro replay: Joker escapes from a casino, loot in hand, only to be stopped and arrested by the police. His interrogation proceeds as in the intro, concluding when Akechi arrives in the interrogation room with him, revealing himself as the traitor Joker was told of at his arrest, and as part of the grand conspiracy the Thieves have suspected exists. While he then appears to assassinate Joker with a gunshot to the head, Joker survives through the efforts of the Phantom Thieves.

It transpires that Akechi's ability to hear Morgana marked him as suspicious right away on 6/9, the first time he and the Thieves met, when he remarked on Morgana's mention of ''"delicious pancakes"''. Since only Persona users who've heard Morgana speak in the Metaverse can understand him in the real world as a cat, this tells the Thieves that Akechi has not only been into the Metaverse, but has seen them there. He inadvertently underscores this during his blackmail attempt on 10/26, when he claims to hear Morgana speak for the first time, and to have awoken only on 9/15, during the Thieves' first entry to [[Okumura's Palace]].

====Shido's Palace====
Akechi does not suspect Joker's survival until the events of [[Shido's Palace]]. Shido's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic as the Thieves progress through his Palace; eventually, while on the phone to him, Akechi realises that the Thieves are in the Palace and that Joker must be alive. He heads there at speed, ambushing them in the Palace's engine room.

During his boss fight, Akechi reveals that he's Shido's illegitimate son (隠し子 ''kakushigo'', literally "hidden child"—the sometimes-unacknowledged child of a prominent person who is concealed from public view). His mother was Shido's mistress<ref>{{Cite Game | quote='''明智吾郎'''「俺の母親は、悪い男の愛人だったって。」| translquote='''Akechi:''' ''"I told you my mother was the mistress of a good-for-nothing man."'' (愛人 ''aijin'' refers to a mistress, often of a powerful man, and often paid or compensated in other ways.) | title=[[Persona 5 Royal]] | developer=[[Atlus]] | publisher=[[Atlus]] | platform=PC | version=| lang=Japanese | transl=[[User:Vashti|Vashti]]}}</ref>, discarded when she became pregnant, and subsequently driven into poverty and survival sex work. She died when Akechi was still young; he blames Shido for this, as well as his own birth. He confirms that he is the "true culprit" responsible for the mental shutdowns and psychotic breakdowns, including the murders of [[Wakaba Isshiki]] and [[Kunikazu Okumura]], as well as the devastating subway train crash on 4/10 and many other events that have terrorised Tokyo for the whole of the game.

In an effort to conclude his fight with Joker and clear the way to his revenge, he turns on the Phantom Thieves, intending to kill them all—yet when he fails, he's met with grace and understanding, and an offer of a second chance, to fight Shido alongside them. But because Shido is aware of Akechi's intentions, he has one last line of defence against him—a [[Cognitive Akechi|cognition of Akechi himself]], that appears at the moment Akechi appears to change sides. The cognition implies that Shido knew Akechi was his son, revealing that Shido knew Akechi wanted his attention and even his love. It seemingly offers Akechi one last chance to gain those things, by killing Joker and the Thieves after all. Instead, Akechi shoots the cognition, bringing down a bulkhead door between it and the Thieves—with himself on the wrong side. His fate is unclear; he asks Joker to ''"end Shido's crimes in [his] stead"'', before two gunshots are heard and his life signs vanish from [[Futaba Sakura|Futaba's]] awareness.

====Akechi's plan====
Akechi intends to take revenge on Shido, casting him into a ''"living hell"'', controlling him, and becoming greater than him, a plan [[Yusuke Kitagawa]] describes as ''"distorted"''. To that end, he approached Shido two years before canon, saying he had ''"special powers"'' and offering his services; his first assignment was to stop several of Shido's political opponents who were conspiring against him within the Diet, by giving them psychotic breakdowns—caused by [[Call of Chaos]], Akechi's unique ability, ''"the ability to control and drive others mad ... born from within his heart"''.

His first murder assignment appears to be Wakaba Isshiki, Futaba's mother, killed in an effort to steal and conceal her [[cognitive psience]] research; this takes place approximately three months after he enters Shido's service. He continues to cause ''"accidents and scandals"'' using Call of Chaos (referred to as psychotic breakdowns), and murders and brain death (referred to as mental shutdowns) until at least 11/20. After his apparent death in Shido's Palace, these events never recur.

====Social Link====

'''''Persona 3 Reload''''' is an upcoming remake of the 2006 PlayStation 2 role-playing game, {{Link|Game|P3}}, the fourth entry in the {{Link|Series|p-}}. It is being developed by [[Atlus]], and will be released worldwide on February 2, 2024.<ref name="Website"/>

==Gameplay==
The gameplay of ''Persona 3 Reload'' is similar to that of the original {{Link|Game|P3}}, though with changes and additions introduced in later titles of the ''Persona'' series.

The game features all new graphics, character portraits, and a redesigned UI. In battle, the player's actions are now mapped to individual buttons rather than being in a rotating menu, matching {{Link|Game|P5}}. Similarly, [[All-Out Attack]]s now end with an animated screen of the character who initiated the final [[Down]].<ref name="MTSTrailer">{{Cite Web|author=Official ATLUS West |url=[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04TTnLYVaa0 Persona 3 Reload — Meet the S.E.E.S.

New scenarios have been added throughout the course of the game called Link Episodes, separate from the [[Social Link]] system. Link Episodes provide additional background and interactions for certain characters that did not have Social Links in the original ''Persona 3'', such as male party members.<ref name="Link Episodes">{{Cite Interview|translquote='''Niitsuma:''' While you can deepen your bonds with female party members through regular Social Links, the idea behind adding Link Episodes was to provide episodes for the male party members as well. You can engage in Social Links at any time, but Link Episodes occur as the main story progresses. If you spend time with a character during a specific time, the next episode will follow. If you miss the first episode, you won’t be able to see subsequent episodes, so it’s recommended that you meet the character as soon as possible after he or she contacts you. / '''Yamaguchi:''' Since they are time-limited, you’ll be able to enjoy episodes that have a strong connection to the main story. In ''Persona 3'' especially, the characters’ emotions change significantly as the main story progresses, so the Link Episodes will allow you to interact with them during different periods. So please don’t miss out on this aspect as well.|url=[https://personacentral.com/p3r-developer-interview-theurgy-link-episodes-art/ Famitsu Interview Translation]|[archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20230927180336/https://personacentral.com/p3r-developer-interview-theurgy-link-episodes-art/ Famitsu Interview Translation (Archived)]|published=|retrieved=September 27, 2023|site=Persona Central}}</ref> While some plot elements introduced in later releases of ''Persona 3'' are present,<ref name="Famitsu"/> ''The Answer'' from {{Link|Game|P3F}} and the option to play as the [[Kotone Shiomi|female protagonist]] from {{Link|Game|P3P}} are not included.<ref name="IGN">{{Cite Web|author=Logan Plant |url=[https://www.ign.com/articles/persona-3-reload-wont-include-content-from-fes-or-portable-including-the-female-protagonist Persona 3 Reload Won't Include Content from FES or Portable, Including the Female Protagonist] |published=June 11, 2023 |retrieved=June 12, 2023 |site=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]]}}</ref> In English, the game's dialogue has also been re-translated.<ref name="Trailer"/>

'''''Persona''''' is a series in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]]. Beginning with {{Link|Game|mip}} for the PlayStation in 1996, the series initially began as a follow-up to {{Link|Game|smtif}}, itself a side-story in the {{Link|Series|smt-}}. Like its precursor, the ''Persona'' series predominately follows a cast of high-schoolers confronted by a paranormal mystery. However, instead of recruiting and commanding demons, characters use [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]]s—the manifestations of their inner self. These manifestations correspond with an [[Arcana]].

From {{Link|Game|p3}} onward, the mainline games adopted a structure revolving around a calendar system where events occur as days pass. The protagonist must balance their day-to-day life with their life as a Persona User. This change also introduced [[Social Link]]s, a system where the protagonist can befriend characters. Each social link corresponds with an Arcana; this system also facilitates a dating sim mechanic with certain characters.

''Persona'' was one of the first ''Megami Tensei'' series games to see release outside of Japan. The first game, ''Megami Ibunroku Persona'', was released in North America under the title '''''Revelations: Persona''''', where it saw significant localization changes.
