* When Nanako is kidnapped, the Investigation Team realizes that the kidnapper is able to snatch up his victims using his deliveryman job as a cover. Naoto specifically notes that Nanako must have opened the door to him because he had often delivered to the house before, and so wasn't a stranger. And what do you think he was delivering all those times? Why, all the things that ''you'' ordered from Tanaka's Commodities.

** Speaking of Shadows, carried over from {{Persona 3}}, there's a type of enemy known as the "Lustful Snake". It's weakness? [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Ice]]. Also, a Persona by the name of "Mora" appears frequently within Megami Tensei as a [[InnocentInnuendo certain pun on an object, even though it's original history has nothing to do with said object.]] What's even weirder is that it, in this game, can naturally get "Makarakarn", [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a move that reflects Magic]]. Now which is more controversial: this Persona (which, in this game, arrives on a cart), or shooting yourself in the head?

* Once you discover the identity of the killer, you can't help but think of all the times they just stood there, smiling with you, laughing with you, maintaining the facade of humanity. Think back on all the times they were helpful and friendly. This person casually engineered the murders almost a dozen people, including [[spoiler: a seven year old girl]] and ''the [[CompleteMonster son of a bitch]] just stood there '''smiling'''!'' The [[NewGamePlus second playthrough]] is all the more chilling because you know what's happening but ''can't do anything to stop it...''

* Why do the Persona3 mooks (and most enemy map-avatars) look like a bunch of pitch-black hands holding a mask, while the Persona4 mooks look like acid-trip balls with giant tounges? Answer: It's all based on how the people in each city LIE. At school where the battles take place, people talk and yap and push and bully and insult to create an outward appearance; a focused group effort at looking like total Jocks or Libbies. Meanwhile, in the rural television town, most of the lies come from rumors and myths; the shadows take the form of the obnoxious, big headed rumor-spreaders. Oh, and 99% of what you hear from the television is made of two things; smoke and mirrors. And the smoke comes from the wrecked sets.

* Unlike [[{{Persona3}} Yukari and Aigis]], fellow long range fighters Yukiko and [[spoiler:Naoto]] sometimes stumble after missing an attack. This seems stupid at first until you realize that also unlike their {{Persona 3}} counterparts, both Yukiko and [[spoiler:Naoto]] get up close for their CriticalHit attacks and thus can stumble after missing said attacks.
** Tbh I still don't think it makes sense to stumble when missing from a gun.
