Line 14:
** [[Robot Girl|Aigis]] seems to be this, some think she's one of the finest examples of [[Character Development]] in the Persona series, others think she's a bland [[Stalker with a Crush]] with [[Squick]] by the bucketload.
** [[Implied Love Interest|Yukari]] [[Mood Swinger|Takeba]], whose insecure, overconfident personality tends to rub some fans the wrong way. Her actions in The Answer doesn't help her much either, but she more than makes up for that.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Shuji Ikutsuki starts off as a seemingly helpful mentor to the protagonists, but by the end of the game, he turns out to be a madman. Like Koutetsu Kirijo, he participated in a experiment to revive Nyx, which caused an explosion that killed hundreds, including The Protagonist's parents and Yukari's father. To make matters worse, this created the Dark Hour as well. He also experimented on children including the members of Strega. He manipulates the SEES into killing the Twelve Shadows under the belief that it would extinguish the Dark Hour. In truth, killing the Shadows would not end the Dark Hour, and this was what he needed to revive Nyx. Nyx, being the Death Arcana, would wipe out humanity. When Mitsuru's father tries to stop him, he shoots him dead before preparing to do the same to the SEES, and would have succeeded if Koromaru didn't stop him. A sociopath who would wipe out all life on Earth just to appease a God that is Made of Evil, Ikutsuki proved himself to be the most vile human in the ''Persona'' series.
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: A rather funny one in the PSP port. Because Fuuka's lines for the [[Bonus Boss]] fight weren't re-recorded from the fight against {{spoiler|Elizabeth}}, when the PC fights against {{spoiler|Theodore}}, Fuuka calls him a "she" at the start of the battle. It's also possible to hear Fuuka's voice for that fight, if you attempt it ''before she even joins the party''.
** During the Rank 8 event of the Tower Social Link, Mutatsu will mistake the protagonist as his son, even if the currently played protagonist is a female.
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
** The Dreamfest combo skill (Succubus+Incubus) borders on this. It has a high-chance of charming (i.e. neutralizing) all enemies, and works on tough encounters and even some sub-bosses.
** In some instances, Thunder Reign. Anything that doesn't resist/block/absorb/reflect it is guaranteed to get the shocked status effect, and until their next turn, all physical attacks (that they don't block, absorb, or reflect) are guaranteed [[Critical Hit|Critical Hits]]. So, if you're facing a single opponent whose turn comes after your entire party, you get three successive All-Out Attacks. In which fight can you benefit the most from this? Against [[Bonus Boss|The Reaper]].
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: In Japan the most popular female character is the female playable character on ''Portable'' or, for the console versions, Aigis. MyWaifuList however shows westerners prefer Mitsuru.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: There's a famous exploit in the original game and ''FES'' where pausing the game causes the on-field enemies to change which direction they're moving. Doing so makes it incredibly easy to manipulate the enemies into turning themselves away from you so you can attack them from behind and get an advantage. Unfortunately, it was fixed in ''Person 4'' and ''Persona 3 Portable''.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: Five words: "Be careful! I sense [[Bonus Boss|Death]]!" Or, worse still, the quiet jingling of chains that signals the Reaper's approach.
