Line 24:
* [[AKA-47]]: Averted.
* [[All Myths Are True]]: At least those myths involving rituals that grant you demonic powers.
* [[Alternate Realm Boon]]: In ''[[Persona 1]]'' and onwards from ''[[Persona 3]]'', most of the cast have powers that only work in the alternative realms of [[Persona 1|Mikage-cho]]/the [[Persona 3|Dark Hour]]/[[Persona 4|Midnight Channel]]/[[Persona 5|Metaverse]]. While those realms can bleed into our own, the powers the protagonist cast have only work when one is fully within the alternate realms, not in the real world nor the areas affected by the alternate realm's spillage. There are exceptions, but those tend to be beings who have the rare ability to manifest at will in both realms, which the playable cast usually cannot do.
* [[Alternate Universe]]: Early in the game, the Deva System ends up sending the party into a parallel world which is similar to how the real world was when Maki was first hospitalized, and indeed is practically a utopia for her. {{spoiler|And as it turns out, the Maki travelling with you is ''from said parallel world''}}. Disturbingly subverted much later, when it's revealed that {{spoiler|the parallel world is actually the Deva System's projection of the real Maki's ideal vision of her world. The System is capable of replacing the real world with Maki's ideal world, which would enable the real Maki to live in it as her ideal self; however, Maki's inner conflict over whether to enforce the change or reject it manifested itself as the [[Strange Girl|Strange Girls]] of the game, Aki and Mai}}.
* [[Always Check Behind the Chair]]: The hidden passage in Kandori's office.
Line 51 ⟶ 52:
** {{spoiler|Heck! It states right off the bat at the end that the Night Queen will return [[As Long as There Is Evil|as long as humanity wants to turn hope into despair]]. It seems that Atlus did some planning}}.
** There's also the fact that both ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: if...]]'' and ''Persona'' have two secret characters: one of whom in each requires jumping through some extra hoops and going for a portion of the game without a full party {{spoiler|and turn out to have ties to the [[Big Bad]]}} (the two even have similar names in kana and romaji, though not kanji: Reiko and Reiji), and another who's tied to an alternate storyline (Yukino -- who does briefly join the party in the normal game -- and Akira).
* [[Contrasting Sequel Character]]: This is huge in this franchise. The first main character was just a [[Heroic Mime|mime]], the ''[[Persona 2]]'' duology has a pessimistic trouble delinquent and his side kick an [[Genki Girl|optimistic young woman]], ''[[Persona 3]]'''s a loner depressive youth, and so forth.
* [[Cool Guns]]: You get to use all kinds of them, from pistols to rifles.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: The blurb on the back of the PSP remake states: "''In the near future, mankind has conquered dimensional travel, but the opened door swings both ways. Demons have invaded...''" This is quite different to the actual plot.
Line 123 ⟶ 125:
* [[Lethal Chef]]: The nurse is stated to be this. The characters actually feel sorry for her ex-boyfriend once they see her dream of him.
* [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]: Including stun people, {{spoiler|form into a ball and blow up half a city district to make way for an [[Elaborate Underground Base]]}} and render the entire main cast unconscious so that they have a dream of a butterfly and gain their [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]].
* [[Literally Fearless]]: Fear is an actual status in the ''Persona'' series, which makes highly probable for those afflicted with it to ignore commands and, in case of everybody but the MC, outright flee from battle and not return. However, the skill Null Fear prevents the status from being inflicted on a party member at all. Most bosses are outright immune to it from the get-go.
* [[Lost Woods]]: The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Lost Forest]].
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: {{spoiler|Orignally, the Deva Yuga system was this, as made Maki's dream world a reality. However, Kandori adapted it to [[Reality Warper|warp reality]] to his desire to destruction, a desire Maki shares}}.
