Line 13:
* [[Die for Our Ship]] - In essentially any character the Protagonist is shipped with, Yukari will be reduced to the [[Clingy Jealous Girl]].
** Some see her as the [[Designated Love Interest]], if you find that the scenes with her and the protaganist are rather forced.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] - Several of the Persona designs have this in play, but it's difficult to see the Tower Arcana Persona called Mara as anything but ''a penis on wheels''. If you have this Persona as your main when you visit the Velvet Room, Elizabeth even seems to comment on how ''masculine'' it seems... Theodore, on the other hand, does not approve, protesting that it isn't ladylike.
** And how can we forget the [[Driven to Suicide|method]] of summoning Personas?
* [[Easy Mode Mockery]] - In the PSP remake, the descriptions of the difficulty levels have subtle shades of this. Easy mode is passive-aggressively described as being for people who don't have time for tactical combat, as if the game is offended that you aren't playing it seriously. And the description for Normal difficulty implies if you aren't playing on at least that level you aren't enjoying the game at all.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] - Elizabeth, the world's coolest elevator attendant. Another notable example is [[Meganekko|Chihiro]], who is just a Social Link, yet gets to return [[Older and Wiser]] (and [[Hotter and Sexier]]) in [[Persona 4]]. And there's Shinjiro, whose sheer fan popularity might make non-players think he's the main character in the game. [[Badass Adorable|Koromaru]] is given a special spot in most players' hearts (and parties) for general usefulness in combat and coolness.
* [[Ending Fatigue]] - After {{spoiler|The Hanged Man}} no boss fights occur on full moons, your current portfolio of Persona have pretty much hit the top end of power (and with FES fusing, the same is true for equipment) and can last until almost endgame. Fighting (and plot advancement) is restricted to a day a month and you have likely already maxed your social stats leaving nothing to do for many game months but a long long string of social links.
* [[Fan Nickname]] - In fan circles, the [[Hello, Insert Name Here|officially nameless]] protagonist has acquired the name "Minato Arisato (有里 湊)," the name given to the character in the manga adaptation. The [[Gender Flip]] protagonist in ''Persona 3 Portable'' has been lovingly nicknamed "Minako" by Western fans. She is also known as "Hamuko" (ハム子) by Japanese fans, loosely interpreting the last character of shujinkou (主人公), which means "protagonist," as katakana.
** The J-fandom has nicknamed the protagonist Kitaro, a reference to the similarly [[Peek
** Other nicknames for the Female Protagonist are "MShe" and "FeMC" (presumably pronounced "fem-cee").
** Before the male Velvet Room assistant's name was released, fans referred to Theodore as Malelizabeth, Manlizabeth, and Flight Attendant [[Persona 4|Kanji]].
Line 32:
* [[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.
* [[He's Just Hiding|He's Just Sleeping]]: {{spoiler|The Fanbase beleved this about the main character until the release of FES which revealed that he did in fact die, at least physically.}}
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Chihiro's S-Link ending in FES is her outraging at the article against a [[Student Teacher Romance]] saying that love is important, no matter what age. Now what is the Justice S-Link in ''Portable'' [[May
** In PSP remake, one of Ken's S-Links mentions a manga about an alien who takes different forms to save the day. Although this is only in the female MC's playthrough, this is funny considering the male MC's [[Yuri Lowenthal|voice actor's]] [[Ben 10 Alien Force (Animation)|other role]].
* [[Ho Yay]] - So much... [[Persona 3 (Video Game)/Ho Yay|it even has its own page!]]
Line 71:
** [[Updated Rerelease|FES]] also did this to the original game, with its many improvements and additions to the original game and The Answer epilogue. The PSP remake might have done this to FES with the female main character's storyline.
* [[Sidetracked By the Gold Saucer]] - Many players forget to train their combat in an effort to do well on Exams.
* [[That One Attack]] - {{spoiler|Night Queen}}, the final boss's most powerful attack, [[Turns Red|which it will only use once it has only a remaining third of HP of its]] [[Marathon Boss|fourteenth lifebar.]] It deals massive Almighty damage to the party, and has the capability of inflicting any status effect on the party. Worst case scenario, if one or more of your party members is killed, charmed, enraged or inflicted with fear, you have pretty much no hope of victory at this point. If just ''the protagonist'' is enraged or charmed, it can be just as bad if the protagonist had a persona that healed, since then [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|YOU can end up FULLY healing (*6000* HP) the FinalBoss]], or getting your team in a nearly hopeless position depending on the tactics you had on them when you got enraged and can't heal the team. That {{spoiler|Nyx Avatar}} mix things up with Moonless Gown, which allows it to repel ''everything'' you throw at it for a few turns, you can potentially end up screwing yourself over depending on how everything goes.
* [[That One Boss]] - This being an Atlus game, most of the bosses are very tough, but Sleeping Table deserves a special mention. Megadolaon and Maragion (ma-spells hit all posible targets, and Megidola is a second-level spell), plus Evil Touch (inflicts Fear) and Ghastly Wail (unblockable, instantly kills any character with Fear.)
* [[That One Level]] - It's generally agreed upon that Harabah is the hardest portion of Tartarus, what with it being dark and the only light coming from moving rainbow circles, which is hard to look at and makes Shadows nigh-impossible to see. Empyrean is a possible contender in The Answer, what with pretty much every enemy having either Mahamaon or Mamudoon.
