Maya and Tatsuya had dialogue with act by original Japanese VA in Persona Live 2022

Character dialogue for the ending of "Persona Super Live P-Sound Wish 2022".

P4 protagonist: Thank you all so much for making the show so much fun together. P5 protagonist: I've really enjoyed the last two days…it's been a dream come true. P3 protagonist: Yes, it was. I guess you could call it a "sense of accomplishment" found only in a limited amount of time, right? This kind of thing. Maya: Yes, yes! A sense of accomplishment! A sense of accomplishment! That's why…I'm going to open my very special can of crab tonight! (* pun on "Tasseikan" (sense of accomplishment) and "kani kann" (canned crab)…) Tatsuya: What makes me most happy is that we all shared this feeling. I'm so happy to be able to share this feeling with him over there, too. Maya: Oh, that "boy with the earrings". He's so quiet and shy… P3 protagonist: He said, "Let's all meet up when we get our own dream". P4 protagonist: "Seize your dream". I wonder if I'll have it by the time I see him again… P5 protagonist: You can do it. We can do it, us here, all of us!

P4: 皆、ここまでライブを一緒に盛り上げてくれて本当にありがとう。

P5: この2日間は本当に楽しかった…夢のような現実を過ごさせてもらった。

P3: そうだね。限られた時の中だからこそ見付けられた「達成感」っていうのかな？こういうの。

舞耶: そうそう！達成"感"！達成"感"！ってことで…今夜はとっておきのカニ"缶"、開けちゃうんだから～！

達哉: 何より嬉しいのは、この気持ちを皆で共有できたこと。向こうにいる、彼とも。

舞耶: ああ、あの「ピアスの男の子」ね。あの子、ひときわ無口でシャイだから…

P3: 彼、言ってたよ。「夢を掴んだ暁に、皆で会おう」って。

P4: 「夢を掴む」か。次に会うときまでにできているのだろうか…

P5: できるさ。ここにいる俺たちと、皆なら！

So I was thinking, and am writing as part of a fanfic...

In Persona 2 Innocent Sin, Joker was an urban legend where if you called your own phone number, he'd grant you any wish. And there's tangible evidence that people who called him get real results; just look at the students who become smarter! But then it's also a plot to steal their souls (kinda) and they all begin to waste away as Shadowmen.

In Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, JOKER is an urban legend where if you call your own phone number and give him a name, he will kill anyone you want. He's been reported as a serial killer, and more than a few people have seen him. Not only that, the people who call the number are cursed.

In Persona 5, Joker is a part of an urban legend where if you go to a certain website and give someone's full name, he'll change their hearts. And the Phantom Thieves are not only all over the news, there's also posts on the website about how it worked.

In my fanfic, for complicated reasons, the local supernatural investigatory agency knows about the incidents in the Innocent Sin timeline. So they wind up digging deeper into Joker not because he's a thief and a criminal and disrupting social order, but because they're genuinely afraid that he's part of an evil plot. For all they know, the people who posted on the Phan-Site are going to be cursed just like everyone else who called the previous Jokers.

What is Joker planning? Who's pulling the strings? Is the outpouring of public support really a good thing? When will the other shoe drop?

[SUN SERIES] Tatsuya Suou, Persona 2's part-time protagonist and full-time Sun Arcana! He's so special to me.

I'm going to be doing Eternal Punishment's design of him for the Wildcard Series, so look out for that!

When has ATLUS dealt with P1 and P2 in recent years?

The 30th anniversary of the Persona series is in 2026, which is a grand celebration of the Persona series that happens every 5 years, so the focus may be not only on Persona 6, but also on the earlier Persona works (P1, P2). The 25th anniversary of Persona was September 20, 2021. Merchandise, music concerts and exhibitions were focused on P1 and P2. There were even new voices for the P2 protagonists, especially at the live concert! The P1 protagonist also had lines, and the P3 protagonist spoke in his place (the Japanese voice actor for the P3 protagonist had played the protagonist in the P1 audio drama production).

I often saw posts during this period about people who had not yet played P1 or P2 being interested in them, and it would have been even better if these had also been remastered for the Switch or other platforms like G-Mode...

Ending his suffering

[persona-arcanas]

[WHEEL OF FORTUNE SERIES] Jun Kurosu/Kashihara, Persona 2's Fortune Arcana and the ONLY fully canonical gay rep in the series! Good for him and Tatsuya.

(He is also literally the Wheel of Fortune, but... We'll ignore that, because he doesn't like to be reminded of it)
