... So ridiculously cheap and hard that even the worst ArcSystemWorks had brought out thus far ([[VideoGame/GuiltyGear GG Justice, GGX Dizzy, GGX2 I-No]], [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Unlimited Nu, Unlimited Ragna, Unlimited Hazama, Mu-12]]) COMBINED will still wince in fear.

\n\n[[WMG: ''Heaven'' is an inner monologue of sorts by Nanako]]
Let's look at the lyrics

''I can't get my mind out of those memories''- Nanako still remembers her mother and the memories make her sadden her

''Now time to tell them "don't take my dream"''- Nanako is afraid of losing her other loved ones like she lost her mother

''Still music keeps on turning me from the words that hurt my soul/Removing doubts from my mind''- Nanako is always listening to the Junes theme song; her love for music is a coping mechanism for her feelings of loss and loneliness

''Those long days passing by from that door/Like late summer they slowly fade away''- Nanako is always alone because Dojima is constantly working.

''Finding ways through the favorite tune/Playing all day with my eyes closed''- As mentioned above, her love of the Junes tune is a coping mechanism

''Finding ways through the favorite tune/Filling me with those sounds''- same as the above

''I can't remember the smile that you gave it to me/I have no way to tell you "don't walk away"''- Nanako lost her mother at a young age and Dojima got rid of most of her pictures, so Nanako can't remember how she looked. She is also sad that her mother is gone and she couldn't do anything to save her.

''Still sorrow keeps on tying me but my soul wants to get freed/Let my heart loose from a chain''- Nanako wants to be free of her loneliness and sadness

''Those long days passing by from that door/Like frail snow they slowly disappear''- same as the first verse about long days

''Finding ways through the favorite thoughts/Cocoon me in floaty bliss''- by focusing on the good things in her life, she's able to get through her loneliness.

''Finding ways through the favorite friends/Filling me with warm embrace''- the love of the protagonist and his friends for her has saved her from loneliness and allowed her to heal.

[WMG: [[WMG: Studio Backlot is sung by Izanami towards the protagonist]]
This is something I've always believed. Let's have a look at the lyrics

''Darkness, endless, despair, fear no more. Coldness, blackened, no sound, feel no pain.''- Izanami wants to cover the world in fog, essentially numbing them to reality, so that humanity no longer has to suffer.

''Captured, helpless, ultimate, dreadful fate. Powerless, lifeless, no breath, falling down''- She's either warning them of the dangers of the shadows or what will happen if they try to fight her.

''What you gone do when they start to come up''- She's asking how the team will react when the murders and kidnappings start happening. Could also be about the shadows.

''Well they’ve already come up to surround you up, To dis you at a world cup''- The Killer has already caused a fair share of mischief before the team starts investigating, with Saki and Mayumi's deaths.

'' but I guess it depends, On how you gone behave in that moment''- Your actions and decisions in crucial moments will determine whether you find and stop the true killer or not and whether Izanami takes your view of the world or theirs.

''Huh, a moment of truth tell me what’s really happening''- Izanami is trying to see humanity's true desires through Yu, Adachi and Namatame.

''Bro, you’ve got everything but you dunno anything''- Yu has everything he needs to defeat the killer (intelligent, his powers, his friends, etc.) but he has no idea who the true killer is at first nor what the cause of it all is. Izanami is counting on this so that her plans can come to fruition.

"Big bucks payment or dirty like enslavement"- If you lose, Izanami will enslave the world in the fog.

''Began to lose patience to these complacent successors who assesses rules that assassinate us''- She believes the team is going against what humanity really wants by fighting her.

''Me Lot of confidence but far
from Izanami's perspective]]vanity''- Izanami believes as a goddess, she has the right to be confident in her powers and there is nothing vain about it.

''Nowadays many people abuse informations better choose''- People aren't interested in the truth anymore, just their version of it, which is what Izanami believes.

''Recognize the source of course or get accused soon''- If you don't discover the source behind everything, it'll be your own fault when the world falls.

''Be careful who you choose to speak in back room''- Be careful who you trust since you don't know who the real killer is.

''It's messed up how anger and hatred looms large in the dark, Leaving scars to some by who's fumed, I've got my third eye to see through their costumes, Lies after lies, middle finger from Lotus Juice''- Izanami is critically of how humanity has suppressed the dark parts of themselves, creating the shadows. Since humanity wants to live in lies, she'll separate them from the truth forever"

''Damn some still battling against these demons, Brave souls even screaming 'Oh please Jesus' ''- she's surprised that the team keeps fighting for the truth

''Kept dressing with a fake coverage''- more criticism of humanity not accepting the truth

''Even if I die my words'll live, bring it up''- Even if she fails, the team will have to make sure humanity changes

''Until my last breath, never ever gonna give it up''- self-explanatory

''So I can see how y'all feeling put it up in the air/Yeah, I love it now, Let's change the world''- After her defeat, she accepts the protagonist's way of thinking. This is basically her giving her blessing to him before she dies.

** Keep two things in mind here; one, the game takes place in Japan, where cousin marriage is still a legal and more-or-less accepted entity. Two, she is ''seven''; a seven-year-old isn't going to be that discreet about such things, nor think of the incestuous implications. Hell, [[FatherIWantToMarryMyBrother there's a even a trope here about the subject.]] Not to mention she only said it to Dojima and Yu, so it's not like a bunch of people heard.
** She seems perfectly fine in the sequel games and the Golden epilogue.

* So, what, the Amagi Inn is just a front for their ninja/yakuza activities? Or some kind of base of operations?



* I don't see any resemblance between the two of them in appearance. In behavior, they only resemble each other in the vaguest sense.




to:

* So, the Pokemon World and the TV World are the same thing?




to:

* Interestingly enough, in Ultimax, we actually learn Rise's persona does have fighting capabilities and she is a pretty decent, if not overpowered, fighter.




to:

** Soooooo, then how is she Dojima's daughter? Did she incarnate herself as a little girl and hypnotize Dojima and the whole town? And why was she still alive when Izanami got destroyed if that were true?




to:

* Nope, this is pretty much impossible. To start off with, the protagonist has a canonical name (Yu Narukami) and it's completely Japanese, meaning his father must be as well and therefore can't be Sam's dad. Second, Yu was born in 1994, while Sam was born in 1995, so the birthdates don't match up. Third, we've seen Sam's mother and she obviously Caucasian and American. Fourth, the only resemblance is their hairstyle and Sam eventually loses that, plus they have different eye colors.

Wikipedia has largely become a regulated stopover on the way to more "valid" research. It struggles to feel accepted academically while still suffering the derision of teachers everywhere. Wikipedia struggles to be accepted through strict regulation and cold hard facts; a far cry from the more lax, RuleOfFun oriented TV Tropes.

Think about it: most of the PCs have brown/black hair, wit the exception of Kanji, Naoto, and the MC. Naoto's hair, considering background and demeanor, as well as the relatively neutral shade of it, probably has bluish-black hair instead of dyed hair. Kanji's hair is explicitly bleached, and while the MC never brings it up, silver isn't all that natural.

*** > On the topic of the demons going away. [[http://pastebin.com/uiqvLAcV This summary]] of the Tatsuya's story in ''[[{{Persona2}} Eternal Punishment]]'' which was never adapted into english talks about Nyarls new demons appearing. It reads that " when they die they turn into a violent burst of foam similar to dry ice, leaving behind a terrible smell" similar to the shadows of Persona 3. They're also described as being similar to {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, and that most normal people who see them would probably go insane just at the sight of them. This is probably where the switch from demons to shadows started in the game's lore.

* That realization just hit me as well. Every time you enter a domain in the TV World, you hear the hidden thoughts of the one whose shadow is currently "alive". At that point, Saki had already passed away, while Yosuke's shadow was lurking in the liquor shop. So it would indeed make sense that everything you hear when you're investigating the place wasn't what Saki had heard, just like you didn't hear what Ms. Yamano had heard in her room. It also explains the cut-up photograph of specifically Saki and Yosuke, and Saki's "lingering hidden thoughts" going out of their way to tell Yosuke he was a pain in the ass. That wasn't the real Saki; it was Yosuke's insecurity speaking, his fear she was only hanging out with him because he was the manager's son.

Kanji's main struggle is not his sexuality, is being seem as unmanly. Sure he may have entertained the idea he was into guys because liking things like sewing and such are considered to be signs of being gay. However it is only his encounter with Naoto Shirogane, for whom he immediately develops an attraction, that he may have ACTUALLY believe he was gay.

[[WMG: Teddie is a Shadow born from humanity's collective desire to be loved.]]
He makes comments about how he has been around for a long time, knows stuff about the TV world that hints a long lonely life before the protagonists show up. In the ending, [[spoiler: He states the GhibliHills version of the TV world was how it used to be long ago.]]. Why does he start out so weak/was weak for a long time before the events of the game? Because despite wanting to be loved, [[HumansAreBastards humans kinda bastards throughout history]] and spent more time hurting each other than loving. Once he HAS friends, he tanks an attack that would have outright annihilated his new friends, awakens a power strong enough to taken down an outright invincible foe, and manages to manifest himself in the real world(and Velvet Room, thought that might not be quite so special). Something that, as pointed out in the above theory, is an ability reserved only for the terrifyingly powerful [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]]. Another thing pointed out in the above theory, he is the Star Arcana social link, representing a hope for the future. This leads to another idea, Teddie is EXACTLY what Aigis and Elizabeth need to "change human nature" so that the P3 protagonistic can be free.

[[WMG: Accepting a Shadow outright is a VERY BAD IDEA.]]
We never see someone just outright agree with a Shadow-self, mainly because its a video game and it needs boss battles. But what if it is because showing it would reveal something horrific?

The Shadows say "I am a Shadow, THE TRUE SELF" and turn into huge monsters when their host denies them. However, accepting their statement of "THE TRUE SELF" would imply the person in question believes that only THEIR WORSE INSECURITIES AND TRAITS are the "real" self. If one tells the shadow "Yes, you are" they would most likely get their persona but they would loose the rest of their personality to the traits the Shadow embodied. This comes with another theory, spoilers ahead;
