* ThrowItIn: According to the 2006 Famitsu interview, the ArcWords "Memento Mori" on the intro movie were not intended by the development team -- it was added by the animators, taking advantage of the "death" theme. The team was surprised to see it, but decided to go along with it anyway.

** The beginning scene of the game was going to include Mitsuru and Yukari watching over the main character to make sure he did his homework to make him catch up after collapsing from his Persona awakening. According to Hashino, voices for this scene were even recorded, however the scene was eventually cut entirely to not drag out the beginning too much.
** Originally, the [[{{Fanservice}} shower scene]] on the 7/7 operation would be longer and more erotic, but [[ExecutiveMeddling Sony told the development team that it would not be suitable]].
** Cut Full Moon dungeon ideas include a fish market and a more complex version of the underground where Chariot and Justice are fought. The latter was made straightforward after the dev team realized it would slow the game pacing down.
** The FinalBoss was going to be faced at the end of February (though mistakenly referring to 2010 as leap year as the planned date was 29) instead of January. This was changed to how it is in the final build in order to not drag out the endgame. As a consequence, the game lacks a Valentine's Day event.
