Persona 2/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 494:

* [[Anime Hair]]: His gravity-defying ponytail.

* [[Bishonen]]: In the second game, though he doesn't look that bad in the first game either.

* [[Bishonen]]

* {{spoiler|[[Bonus Boss]]}}: At the end of ''Eternal Punishment'''s [[Bonus Dungeon|EX Dungeon]].

* [[Calling Card]]: A gold butterfly.

* [[Cool Mask]]: He often appears as a man wearing a white mask that incorporates some sort of butterfly motif.

* [[Cool Mask]]

* [[End of the World Special]]: {{spoiler|Philemon pulls this trick at the conclusion of ''both'' games}}.

* [[Exposition Fairy]]

* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Will explain how to use Persona and most other systems in the games he appears in.

* [[The Faceless]]: Subverted. If the player chooses to {{spoiler|punch him in the face at the end of ''Innocent Sin''}}, his mask falls off, revealing him to have [[Mind Screw|the same face as Tatsuya Suou]].

** Well, [[Arc Words|I am thou, thou art I after all.]]

* [[Game Over Man]]: "Are you going to finish... without knowing the truth?" (''Eternal Punishment'')

* [[God and Satan Are Both Jerks]]: The events of ''Persona 2'' all come down to a bet between him and [[God of Evil]] Nyarlathotep over whether [[Humans Are Bastards]] or not.

* [[God and Satan Are Both Jerks]]

* [[God's Hands Are Tied]]: He just shows the heroes how to use the power of their own hearts and walks away, unlike [[Big Bad]] Nyarlathotep, who actively tries to destroy humanity.

* [[God's Hands Are Tied]]

* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: He seems to have de-aged from his previous incarnation. Nice leotard, Phil.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Named for Swiss psychologist Carl Jung's self-proclaimed spirit guide.

* [[The Powers That Be]]: He's the [[Big Good]], seeing to it that all the screwed up parts of humanity's collective soul stays out of their reality.

* [[The Powers That Be]]

* [[Schrödinger's Butterfly]]: Literally. Just check out the endings.

* [[Spirit Advisor]]: More so in ''Persona 1'' and ''Persona 2''; by the time ''Persona 3'' comes about, he doesn't even bother to make a direct appearance, though [[Word of God]] states that the blue butterflies in ''Persona 3'' and ''Persona 4'' are supposed to represent him watching over the protagonists. The blue butterfly shown in ''Persona 5'' is assumed to be Philemon as a case can be made that the butterfly isn't necessarily the one speaking and Lavenza's voice is heard telepathically.

* [[Spirit Advisor]]

* [[Stupid Good]]

* [[The Watcher]]: Albeit a slightly self-serving one.

Line 521:

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Welcome to the Velvet Room."

* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]

* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]: Permanently etched on his face.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: He looks suspicious, and he withholds information from you, but he's generally very helpful, almost mentor-like.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]

* [[Gag Nose]]

* [[Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Powers That Be]]

* [[Powers That Be]]: Whatever Igor is exactly, he's almost certainly one of these.
