* ''{{Persona 2}}: Innocent Sin'' is the most Oedipal game ever. [[spoiler: Ten years ago, the shrine where the main characters played as kids was burnt down (with two of them inside, no less) and Tatsuya's father was put on the case. He nearly found the culprit, Tatsuya Sudou (a different Tatsuya), and was kicked off the police force because Sudou's father is the foreign minister. Tatsuya became ashamed with his father for losing his job (and not looking for another one), and tried to break away from his family and become independent.]] Eikichi has had a bad relationship with his father [[spoiler:since the 1989 Tanabata Festival, at least]], who wants him to inherit the family business, a sushi shop. However, Eikichi hates sushi, and wants to become a VisualKei star (because of some other issues), and VisualKei is probably the least traditional thing in Japan, so Eikichi is stuck as the non-traditional son of a very traditional man [[hottip:*:At one point in the comedy CD, Eikichi's makeup washes off during the HotSpringsEpisode, and Tatsuya compares him to his father, causing him to say a BigNo]]. Lisa's father wants her to be a "traditional Japanese lady", only he's a Japanophile who hasn't done much research, so "traditional Japanese lady" means "YamatoNadeshiko in a kimono" to him. She rebels by speaking Cantonese, doing more modern things, [[spoiler:and dating older men and experimenting with drugs for money.]] Maya's father [[spoiler:was a war photographer who had to leave a lot, and was eventually killed in action. She decided to become a journalist who balances her family and her work.]] Yukino's father walked out on her family, so she's a total tomboy, turned into a gangster (but she gets better before the start of {{VideoGame/Persona}} and has a thing for her boss, a slightly older man. Jun's father [[spoiler:was an occultist who believed that aliens lived beneath Sumaru City and Hitler was a Mayan sorcerer, annoying his mother (a model). She spread nasty rumours about him until he killed himself (or was possibly killed by Hitler's minions), and Nyarlathotep, the BigBad, disguised himself as the "cool dad" Jun told his friends about. Jun's mother abandoned him and he ran away from home to live with Nyarlathotep, eventually becoming the DiscOneFinalBoss, The Joker, and believing that Lisa, Tatsuya, and Eikichi ''killed'' Maya, his CoolBigSis. Oh, and the Sudous we mentioned earlier? Tatsuzou shut his son up in a mental asylum due to his schizophrenia and pyromania and forgot about him. Tatsuya Sudou is pretty pissed off by the time ''Eternal Punishment'' starts.]]
