The '''Protagonist''' is the protagonist of {{Link|Game|MIP}} and a minor character in {{Link|Game|P2EP}}.

==Profile==
{{Sectionstub|type=Profile}}
The protagonist is a student at [[St. Hermelin High School]], he has black hair and brown eyes he also wears an earring in his left ear. In the PSP port of ''Persona'' he has purple eyes, as well as lower eyelids. In Revelations: Persona he has brown hair and blue eyes, and lacks his earring. His hair is black, although in certain illustrations it is shown purple.

He is a blank slate and silent protagonist, having very little characterization in-game. He has no dialogue options outside of the choices that directly affect the endings, what party members join the quest, and the moral choices that determine if he receives the [[Ultimate Persona]] totems in the SEBEC route. This is was a deliberate choice to allow the players to insert themselves into the story. If the protagonist makes the correct moral choices to get the best ending and gain ultimate Personas, the protagonist is portrayed as compassionate and clever, as well as confident and blunt, though laidback, notably through his Other Self.

==Game Appearances==
==={{link|game|mip}}===
The protagonist must be named by the player when he first encounters [[Philemon]] and gains the power of [[Persona (Concept)|Persona]]. The only thing that is known about him is that he is a second-year student at St Hermelin. After the party make their way back to St Hermelin after the Hospital Incident, the protagonist can either go after SEBEC and [[Takahisa Kandori|Kandori]], or investigate the curse of the Snow Queen and start the Snow Queen Quest. He can start a quest to make [[Reiji Kido|Reiji]] join the party when they get to the Other World later in the game in the SEBEC route.

In the SEBEC route, the protagonist can make several choices, some of which determine if he will achieve the good or bad ending, and others which determine if he will receive [[Ultimate Persona]] [[Totem|Totems]] when encountering his other self. If the protagonist is hostile to [[Mai]] when they meet in the [[Lost Forest]], it will lock the party in the bad ending. If the protagonists acts selfishly and short-sighted when prompted with moral choices, his Other Self will berate him and either give 2 totems (for himself and Maki) or no totems at all depending on the amount of incorrect choices. However, if he is compassionate and acts kindly, his Other Self will give him 5 totems, allowing the entire party to fuse their respective Ultimate Persona.

His fate in the true ending is left unknown.

==={{link|game|p2is}}===
While the protagonist never appears in ''Innocent Sin'', there are occasional allusions to him by [[Yukino Mayuzumi]] and [[Eriko Kirishima]]. He is also mentioned in one of the [[Climax Theater]]'s Japanese-only import films as being the boy whom Elly and [[Maki Sonomura]] have a romantic rivalry for.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= オカルトに精通しており、麻希とはピアスの少年を巡る淡い恋のライバルでもあった。|translquote= She's [Elly] well-versed in the occult, and is also in a romantic rivalry with Maki over a certain boy with an earring.|author= N/A|url= []|archive= |published= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYdCrKk3u4c?t=344|retrieved= April 23, 2024|site= https://www.youtube.com/|type= }}</ref>

==={{link|game|p2ep}}===
An illusory version of the protagonist appears in Sumaru TV to torment Elly on her fears. The real version of the protagonist shows up in two different flashbacks inside [[Mt. Iwato]] (depending on whether [[Kei Nanjo]] or Elly are chosen as the fifth party member). He, Maki, Elly and Nanjo make a pact to meet each other again once they have fulfilled their dreams in Nanjo's flashback. In Elly's flashback, which is after Nanjo leaves them to go away to England, the protagonist reveals he must go away for a while as well for unknown reasons, though he will not stop being friends with his classmates.

At the very end of the game, when the St Hermelin Persona users bar Masao and Yuka rejoin at Parabellum Bar, the door opens, and although the person entering the bar is not seen, it is implied to be the protagonist based on Maki and Elly's reaction.

==Trivia==
* At the end of volume 3 of the [[Megami Ibunroku Persona (Manga)|manga]], author and artist [[Shinshu Ueda]] wrote an [[wikipedia:Omake|omake]] about her experiences playing ''Revelations: Persona''. In this, she drew her interpretation of the American protagonist, whom she called Edward Tanaka. She imagined him to be to be mixed American and Japanese, though he did not speak English very well as a nod to Ueda's difficulties playing ''Revelations: Persona''.
* His Other Self is shown playing the Atlus arcade game ''[[wikipedia:Groove_on_Fight|Groove on Fight]]''.

Announced on August 27, 2001 at the Xbox Conference Summer 2001 as ''Shin Megami Tensei On line'',<ref>RPGFan News 27/08/2001, "Shin Megami Tensei Online Announced for the Xbox", [https://web.archive.org/web/20150907195021/http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2001/1334.html archived].</ref> it was built to be an online game, though with a singleplayer campaign which was meant as a tutorial for the online component.<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":0" /> The project was renamed to ''Shin Megami Tensei: Nine'' in the Famitsu Xbox volume 2 of February 2002.<ref>RPGFan News 16/02/2002, "Shin Megami Tensei Online Renamed Shin Megami Tensei Nine", [https://web.archive.org/web/20150906002437/http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2002/1137.html archived].</ref><ref>Retromags "[https://www.retromags.com/gallery/image/37267-famitsu-xbox-issue-002-february-2002/?browse=1 Famitsu Xbox Issue 002 (February 2002)]".</ref> The new name is reference to the game's nine alignments that the protagonist can have due to the addition of the Light-Dark axis, as opposed to the standard three alignments the protagonist can have in other ''Shin Megami Tensei'' games (on the Law-Chaos axis only), and with the addition of online play, the developers felt players could "experience a story with real meaning to them".<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":1" /> The goal was to have players team up with other players of the same alignment, and fight against players of the opposite alignment. The name was also changed so people didn't have to worry that the game was exclusively online.<ref name=":02" /> The team also wanted to avoid making players feel like they were in a "boxed garden", and wanted them to have fun in a way only games could provide and feel the realistic aspects of the ''Shin Megami Tensei'' series, despite the real-time strategy elements.<ref name=":0">Game Impress Watch 05/12/2002 "[https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/20021205/atlus.htm アトラス、秋葉原で「真・女神転生 NINE」発売記念イベント開催岡田耕始氏と金子一馬氏が登場]".</ref> Voice recognition technology was being worked on due to the game offering real-time gameplay, though they did not want to be limited by the feasibility of the idea when trying to implement ideas. Additionally, the developers debated on introducing new demons as downloadable content.<ref name=":02" />

For ''Shin Megami Tensei: Nine'', though Kazuma Kaneko was still in charge of the monster design, the team brought in a new character designer, [[Yasuomi Umetsu]], after discussion between Kaneko and the director [[Kazunori Sakai]].<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":0" /> Translating Kaneko's designs to 3D proved to be a challenge, in particular in regards to how they would move, since he viewed demons as static characters. However, Kaneko thought players would want more active demons, and didn't mind them moving as much since the game took place in a virtual world.<ref name=":0" /> Plus, with the upgrades in graphics brought in by the more powerful Xbox, producer [[Kōji Okada]] thought a shift from a first person to a third person perspective was appropriate.<ref name=":0" /> Sound was also an important aspect of the game, sine the Xbox could produce 5.1 Surround sound. Atlus had already attempted 3D audio with Maken X on the Dreamcast, though that console could only produce stereo sound with 2 speakers so the 3D audio was more virtual. The sound team was excited about the possibilities these specs brought, and thus created the music and sound design to work best using 5-channel surround.<ref name=":02" /><ref name=":1" /> In particular, Takahiro Ogata imagined a sort of pentagram with the player in the middle when creating the music. The RTS segments also feature dynamic music that changes depending on the player's action, with over 300 patterns.<ref name=":1" />

Atlus announced at E3 2002 that while the online component was small, they could not secure the finances for a dedicated server, and they thought that other parties, such as Microsoft, would probably not provide a server for the game.<ref>RPGFan News 26/05/2002 "Post E3: Atlus Speaks", [https://web.archive.org/web/20150905195204/http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2002/1529.html archived].</ref> In August 2002, Atlus announced the online components be eventually separated into its own unique release, with its release date postponed to Spring 2003. Atlus stated that they could not finish the online elements in time for the game's release, and they didn't want to delay it.<ref>RPGamer 05/08/2002 "Atlus Splices Shin Megami Tensei Nine", [https://web.archive.org/web/20150402065144/http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q3-2002/080502c.html archived].</ref> As such, the offline version released on the planned release date December 5th 2002.<ref name=":12">GameSpot 11/08/2003 "[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-live-version-of-shin-megami-tensei-nine-canceled/1100-6073223/ Xbox Live version of Shin Megami Tensei Nine canceled]".</ref>

On August 11th 2003, Atlus officially cancelled the online components of ''Shin Megami Tensei: Nine'' for Xbox, citing "issues with the company's overall network development environment and the profitability of online games".<ref name=":12" /> They announced at the same time they would shift developing ''Shin Megami Tensei: Nine'' for PC, which would include online aspects, due to the better infrastructure and bigger audience of online PC games.<ref name=":12" /> This project eventually transformed into ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine]]'', an MMORPG released in 2007 in Japan, 2008 in the United States and 2009 in Europe.

== Trivia ==

* ''Nine'' was the first ''Megami Tensei'' game for an Xbox console, and the only one until ''[[Persona 4 Arena]]'' released for the Xbox 360 in 2012. It was the first and the only ''Shin Megami Tensei'' game for an Xbox console until ''[[Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance]]'', which released for Xbox One and the Xbox Series X/S in 2024.
** It is still the only title in the entire franchise to be exclusively made for a Microsoft console.

'''''Persona 2: Innocent Sin''''' is a 1999 role-playing game for the PlayStation, and the second entry in the {{Link|Series|P-}}. It was developed and published by [[Atlus]] and released on June 24, 1999 in Japan. A remaster of the game was released for the PlayStation Portable on April 14, 2011 in Japan, and subsequently on September 20 in North America and November 4 in Europe that same year, where it was titled '''''Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin'''''. In Australia, this version released the following year on February 29, 2012.

A sequel, {{Link|Game|P2EP}}, was released for the PlayStation in 2000. Despite being chronologically the first in the duology, the PlayStation version of ''Innocent Sin'' was skipped in North America and ''Eternal Punishment'' was released instead. This would later be rectified with the overseas release of the PlayStation Portable remaster. ''Eternal Punishment'' also received a remaster for the PlayStation Portable in 2012; however, that version did not see a release outside of Japan.

The PlayStation version received a fan translation by the group Devil Hackers and was released on October 15, 2008.

|blurb=The Lost Chapter of Persona Arrives!
With sleek enhancements and expanded content, Persona 2 makes its long-awaited debut in North America!

In Sumaru City, idle rumors are having a concrete effect on reality. The mysterious Joker seems to be at the center of it all, but to what end? Delve into the web of rumors slowly encompassing the city before the madness becomes irreversible.
}}

==Synopsis==
It's 1999 in the seaside city of [[Sumaru City]], and 3 years have passed since the [[Megami Ibunroku Persona|S.E.B.E.C incident]]. Here, rumors seem to become true, including that of the enigmatic [[Joker (Persona 2: Innocent Sin)|Joker]], whom the rumor claims can grant anyone's wish if they call him on their cellphone. However, he appears to be linked to recent supernatural phenomenons, and some people become lifeless husks after calling him. A tragedy from the past resurfaces as [[Tatsuya Suou]] and his allies get thrust into a mystery far bigger than they could ever imagine...{{SeePlot}}

==Gameplay==
{{Sectionstub}}
While ''Persona 2'' is still a dungeon crawler JRPG, in the field it follows Tatsuya as a 2D sprite on a 3D background from a top-down perspective. He can walk in 8 directions using either the d-pad or analog stick, with the player being able to freely turn the camera clockwise or counterclockwise with the shoulder buttons and triggers. Holding Circle while moving with the d-pad makes Tatsuya run ; additionally, he can walk by slightly tilting the left analog stick, and fully tilting it makes him run. There is a rotating compass in the top right corner of the screen, and pressing Square brings up the automap. Navigation in the city is done on a pre-rendered 2D map, with fixed screens the player can move between.

Combat has been made simpler and more dynamic from ''Persona''. The number of elements has been halved and attack animations are much faster. The grid system has been removed, and character positioning is not taken into account. As such, attacks target either one enemy, all instances of the same enemy, or every enemy on the field.

[[Fusion Spell|Fusion spells]] are introduced, which are unique attacks triggered by two or more alive party members each doing a specific spell in immediate succession. They can be magic/physical attacks, healing spells, or group buffs. To compensate the fact they need to be set up, Fusion spells are much more powerful than regular spells.

Demon [[negotiation]] is still present and very similar to its predecessor, with party members having 4 possible actions and demons having 4 different emotions: Eagerness, Happiness, Fear and Anger. Eager demons may give out an item, money, and fusion material. However, instead of demons giving a specific card representing that demon, instead they give multiple cards depending on that demon's [[Arcana]]. From there, Tatsuya can go to the [[Velvet Room]] and exchange Personas for a given number of Arcana cards. For example, if he wants to summon an Emperor Persona, he may need 30 Emperor cards. Some Personas also require special materials to be summoned. Additionally, Skill cards and/or Incense cards may be used to boost a summoned Persona. Tatsuya may acquire Blank cards that can be exchanged at the [[Demon Painter]] for cards of all major Arcanas, with the exception of Fool cards, which require a separate method to gain.

Personas have a fixed SP cost usage, and using them in battle will eventually make them rank up, unlocking more skills. Affinity now has 5 levels: Best, Good, Normal, Bad and Worst. These affect SP cost and mutation chance.

If the party ends a fight with a Fusion spell, then the Personas involved in that spell may [[Mutation|Mutate]], which has a few possible results: either a Stat boost, a

==Version Differences==
===PlayStation Portable===

* A new opening movie animated by Studio Statelight with music by [[Lotus Juice]] has been added, called "Unbreakable Tie".
* Several enemies and bosses have had all of their stats lowered, making the game significantly easier. "Easy" and "Hard" difficulties have also been added.
* The battle system has been slightly tweaked, with the Strategy Menu being removed and characters having to pick every action each turn, with the addition of an auto-battle option that repeats the last action performed.
* It is directly shown how compatible a Persona is with each party member in the Velvet Room and in the Persona selection menu.
* A mini-map has been added in the bottom left corner of the screen when on the field.
* The turn order of everyone on the field is shown at all times, enemies included.
* Fusion spells trigger a cut-in portrait for the party members involved, though it can be disabled in the options menu.
* The player can now directly choose which fusion spell to use and can change the turn order of all characters involved in a specific spell as a group instead of individually.
* Updated UI to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio of the PSP.
* Tweaked character portraits by [[Shigenori Soejima]] and [[Masayuki Doi]].
* The entire soundtrack has been remixed, and not completely redone like with [[Persona (PSP)|''Persona'' (PSP)]]. Additionally, the player can choose between the original and remixed soundtrack at any time in the options menu.
* While the English localization is brand new, featuring English voice acting, the Japanese voice tracks have simply been remastered and no line has been re-recorded.
* All explicit nazi imagery and terminology have been replaced by generic fascist symbols and terms. Furthermore, Adolf Hitler has been renamed to [[Fuhrer]], and given sunglasses and a jacket. It is unknown why this change was made, and it is present in both Japanese and English versions of the game.
* A new side mode has been added called ''Sumaru Climax Theatre'', which features playable side-stories with a boss fight at the end. Japanese players can make their own quests using existing assets, but that feature was omitted from the English release.
