* Rei's story is just prime AdultFear fuel mixed with TearJerker. It's just disturbing that a girl like that has lots of things that she wanted to do, but has to spend the rest of her life on bed because of some terminal illness, likely Leukemia and with absolutely nobody to care for. Her mother didn't even cared about her in the first place and was left her to die while parents of Cancer patients usually take great care of their children. Her doctor also did absolutely nothing to save her and then she died, only to meet this merciless time and death god who just wanted to make her disappear. She then went on a complete breakdown and that apparently touches the god to the point that he gets emotions and he chose to delude her in a LotusEaterMachine school instead and make her happy. It was definitely ''not'' a good thing for both the girl AND the god.

* While the wedding events in the Group Date Cafe are mostly hilarious, the fact that the protagonist and their "destined partner" have their hands seemingly permenantly fused together is pretty creepy.
** While we're on the subject of the Group Date Cafe, can we just take a moment to appreciate its 3rd and 4th floors? Just to give you an idea, the first two floors are [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what you'd expect from a "group date cafe"]]. Not the last two. All the colors turn darker, the place becomes adorned with chains and [[SlasherSmile demonic]] [[NightmareFace faces]] on the walls, the stuffed bears also turn demonic and appear to be dangling like hanged corpses... And this level was supposed to be cute?

* An AdultFear example: during Rise's wedding event to the P4 protagonist, she doesn't have much of a reaction to the fake wedding photo, because she says she has to deal with fans sending things like that to her all the time, and that most of them "are a lot worse than a magical wedding of a prince and a princess". Yeah, that doesn't leave much to the imagination, and it's likely TruthInTelevision too. It gets worse if you've played Persona 4, and you realize things like that probably had a hand in spawning her [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shadow.]]

Comedy moment, should be on the funny page.


* According to Rei, Yukiko's cookies made her dream that she was being held down while sand was being poured into her mouth. Mildly disturbing, to say the least. Yukiko's cooking is now literally NightmareFuel, on top of being comically awful.
** Yukiko's cooking can now canonically make a ghost hallucinate and ''paralyze a god of death''. One wonders how the P4 Hero survived her Social Link...

* ALL of the labyrinths are aesthetically disturbing and creepy in terms of design in their own regard, despite they have light themes. The bosses are basically the same thing, as they simply look like ''ungodly'' EldritchAbominations.

** While all of the labyrinths are creepy on their own, the entire third stratum takes the cake; It's a HORROR HOUSE after all, so scary stuff are bound to happen. You think the first haunted school half is not that bad? The place is still full of [=F.O.E=]s that looks like baby with bloody bag on its head chasing after the party, disembodied piano playing Für Elise in background that you have to get closer to shrug off said baby, and the "Six Sisters" scenario where the party step inside a room, the light suddenly goes off, and disembodied giggles come from everywhere before the light is on again. Watch the minimap on the lower screen, and you then realize you've been surrounded by ''six [=F.O.E=]s'' the entire time the light was off. The second hospital half has several arms hanging from the ceiling as a background environment, bloody handprints appearing on the ground and squelching noises as warning signs of the [=F.O.E=]s' domain, and there's a part where Rei has to go through those things ''alone'' so the party can advance.
*** [[FridgeHorror The creepiest part about the "Six Sisters" scenario?]] The [=F.O.E=]s in question, the [[CreepyDoll Lovely Dolls]], are immobile and appear only in dark areas while hiding in light ones. Now, the first floor of the Evil Spirit Club is well-lit, deterring the Lovely Dolls from attacking, but their sudden appearance on the first floor during the scenario implies that they could potentially be anywhere in the dungeon. [[ParanoiaFuel You just might not be able to see them.]]
*** Regarding the Lovely Dolls, after you get over the JumpScare factor of them the first time, they don't seem that scary. After all, you know where they are, so you're not going to run into one unless you're trying. So naturally, [[SchmuckBait you wonder what happens if you do run into one.]] It's just a small doll, it can't be that scary, right'''OH GOD!''' Let's just say the phrase "tip of the iceberg" comes to mind and leave it at that...
*** Then there's the Old Doll, pretty much the F.O.E ClimaxBoss of the dungeon. The first time you encounter it is on the first floor, where you go through a series of doors, while every time it follows and holds the one behind you closed. It's not too bad there, since there's no risk of actually fighting it. The ''real'' creepiness comes on the third floor, where at a certain point, it appears again to hold down a door behind you. The scariest part of this? In the P3 story at least, ''[[NothingIsScarier there's no mention of this at all unless you look at the map or try to go through the door.]]'' No-one makes any comment on it whatsoever, so it's very easy to go a while without even realising until you notice an F.O.E symbol on your map that wasn't there before. And then you reach the final floor, where it finally decides to come after you. It acts like the above-mentioned babies, but ''it can move 2 spaces per step''. And if you hadn't seen the Lovely Doll's true form before, chances are you're going to see it now. To make matters worse, it's accompanied by its own {{Leitmotif}}, which can only be described as DissonantSerenity in music form.
*** The Old doll becomes significantly less scary [[NightmareRetardant when you find out it doesn't have a resistance to Instant Kill spells.]]



** It gets even worse if you take into account that Mitsuru may have been experimented on by the scientists under the employ of "Granddaddy Dearest", which may explain her reaction to the Shadows in question.

** Everything about the fourth stratum boss is nightmare fuel. Compared to the other Shadow Selves, Shadow Rei is notably bestial after going berserk, becoming a roaring, screeching monstrosity who can't even speak a coherent word and literally drools at prospect of killing its real self.

* It's ''Persona'' as an ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'' game. If you have any idea about F.O.E.'s from ''EO'' -- that they're on-map enemies that are much more powerful than the RandomEncounters surrounding the area and thus are to be avoided at all costs until you come back later with a more powerful team -- yep, they're in this game too!

* An AdultFear example: during Rise's wedding event to the P4 protagonist, she doesn't have much of a reaction to the fake wedding photo, because she says she has to deal with fans sending things like that to her all the time, and that most of them "are a lot worse than a magical wedding of a prince and a princess". Yeah, that doesn't leave much to the imagination, and it's likely TruthInTelevision too. It gets worse if you've played Persona 4, and you realise things like that probably had a hand in spawning her [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shadow.]]
