Do you know why Minato is naked when he does his fusion spell in Persona 3 and when he's in the velvet room in Persona 3 Dancing?

asdfdklh hi anon! while i can't give a definitive/canonical answer, i get the vibe that it might have something to do with inner selves and spiritual kinds of stuff? the p3 protagonists are the only ones who can pull off fusion spells without assistance, and i'd imagine it has something to do with the strength of their soul? (gestures at other shit that happens at p3. you know. the fucking door.)

or for a simpler answer- you can think of it being in the same vein as a magical girl transformation. 😂

that said, i CAN say that this isn't the only instance of that kind of imagery! you also see this near the end of the PSP remake's opening for persona 2: innocent sin (which i highly recommend watching btw ITS GOOD SHIT, even if you don't know much about p2!).

hope this helps! i'm not too sure about the p3d instance as i haven't encountered it- but it was nice to give this some thought. and have a nice day! ✨

#lizzy askbox #IMA BE HONEST i wasnt sure if i would be able to come up with an answer that looks legitimate so i had to let this sit for a bit.#but!! it did mean that i could shill the p2 opening. its fucking good shit if i say so myself #i find that p3's mechanics- as clunky as they can b sometimes (or broken).. they are fun food for thought. fusion spells included #in general i like p3 mechanics a lot when i think abt like what they mean abt the charas and the story they're trying to tell-#even if sometimes it conflicts with what a 'smooth' game experience is like for the player. idk i got a lot of thoughts on that.#i've seen p3/4/5 to completion and its amusing to me to see what mechanics were dropped after p3 LOL #anyways i do appreciate the ask as always!!! much love to the anons who like to say hi every now and then.#also HOLY SHIT YOU CAN EDIT TAGS AFTER YOU TYPED THEM? SINCE WHEN WHAT THE FUCK
