Series-wide Trivia

• Name's the Same: Over the course of the series, only two Persona have been shared by different characters: Prometheus, the Ultimate Persona of both Baofu and Futaba Sakura, and Nemesis, the initial Persona of Ken Amada and minor antagonist Michiko Matsudaira, both Persona originating from Classical Mythology. However, while the name and mythologies of the shared Persona are the same, their designs, abilities, and roles are very different.
• No Port For You: The series was exclusive to PlayStation systems, with notable exceptions:

  • In the mainline series, there is a Japan-only PC port of the first game, and a worldwide PC port of Persona 4 Golden.
  • The spin-offs Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and its sequel Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, which are exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS and have the gameplay and visual style of the Etrian Odyssey series; the fighting game Persona 4: Arena and its sequel, which both received Xbox 360 releases as well; and the Action RPG spinoff Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, which had a release on the Nintendo Switch.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Fuuka and Ken's original English voice actors are currently unknown. Wendee Lee became Fuuka's voice actress starting from Persona 4: Arena, and Cindy Robinson took over as Ken from Persona 4: Arena Ultimax and onwards.
  • Tracey Rooney and Dave Wittenberg voiced Chie and Teddie respectively in the original Persona 4, but were replaced in all installments afterward by Erin Fitzgerald and Sam Riegel respectively.

  • Laura Bailey got to voice Rise in every installment sans Dancing All Night, where she was voiced by Ashly Burch.
  • Dan Woren reprised his role as Igor in all installments up to Arena Ultimax, where he was replaced with Vic Mignogna, and later Kirk Thornton (although, the first fighting game merely featured reused voice lines for Igor's dialouge).
  • Anna Graves voiced Naoto in every installment until Persona 4: The Animation, where she was replaced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. Graves did reprise her role in Golden, but afterwards they were subsequently replaced with Valerie Arem starting from Persona 4: Arena Ultimax onwards.
  • Troy Baker voiced Kanji for most installments, being replaced with Matthew Mercer for roughly half of Persona 4: The Animation and every installment thereafter.
  • Miyu Matsuki and Kazunari Tanaka were the original voices of Chihaya Mifune and Junya Kaneshiro until their passing. They were replaced by Haruka Terui and Takahiro Fujimoto respectively in the anime adaptation and Royal, the latter of which was dedicated to Matsuki and Tanaka's memories.

  • Kirsten Potter was replaced by Abby Trott as Tae Takemi in the English dub of Royal. According to Laura Post, Potter had moved away and couldn't reprise her role.
• Uplifted Side Story: The Persona series is a downplayed example: having started out as a spin-off of the Shin Megami Tensei series, it has reached equal heights (especially in the West) without fully eclipsing the original games, which are still going strong.
• The Wiki Rule: The Megami Tensei Wiki.
