Persona 6/Tropes

Tropes page for the game Persona 6.

Tropes

 * Abusive Parents: Pretty much no one in this game has a good relationship with their parents...
 * A God Am I: Kazuya Kitazawa's Databank heavily implies he has a God Complex.
 * All Love is Unrequited: Depending on whether or not the player romances her, this trope could apply to Rio Kasamatsu during Emerald.
 * All Myths Are True: Like the previous entries of the series, a number of the Personas are named after mythological figures from all around the world.
 * Ambiguously Bi: The protagonist of the game is able to date both male and female characters, implying they may be bi or pansexual.
 * Ambiguous Gender: The protagonist is referred to with gender-neutral pronouns and is intentionally made androgynous.
 * Animated Adaption: Like Persona 4 and 5, Persona 6 has an anime adaption, animated by Studio Bones.
 * Badass Adorable: Rio Kasamatsu.
 * Bonus Boss: The Technological Madhouse DLC adds three optional Ultimate Bosses that take the form of the previous three games' protagonists.
 * Book-End: The game begins with a train door opening and ends with a train door closing.
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Quite literally as one of the minibosses faced near the end of the base game is named Cthulhu. The final boss of the base game is also Nyarlathotep.
 * Evil Counterpart: Persona 6 Emerald introduced the world to The Worm, AKA You, who takes the form of a villainous version of the protagonist.

Trivia

 * What Could Have Been: There were a LOT of scrapped plans for the game. Some of the more interesting ones are:
 * In the concept art for the game, Eiji and Kaori were referred to as Eiju Bando and Jitsuke Fuke. Seth also didn't exist and in his place as a fox in a scarf named June. Eiju and Jitsuke were also the Heirophant and Priestess Arcana, respectively, with Eiju later being changed to the Hanged Man.
 * The before mentioned June was the original Hermit Arcana. This and June himself were likely removed for being too similar to the Persona 4 character, Fox.
 * The beta of the game revealed that Green's Persona was codenamed Uriel and, through hacking, their Ultimate Persona was codenamed Holy Trinity.
 * The beta also included a short boss battle against a character who was cut from the actual game: Yoshiro Ueno. Whether Ueno played a big role or not is unclear, though it is worth noting that originally Persona 6 took place in a fictional city called Ueno (most likely based on the region in Tokyo).
 * The protagonist's home town in the beta is referred to as "Kinshita" and their school is called Kinshita Academy.
 * Kaori in the beta possesses a Persona referred to as Morgan le Fey.
 * Cut dialogue found in the game's code revealed that Shadow Eiji was originally driven by his own insecurities rather than a boiling point of negative emotions.
 * The original choice of Eiji's English voice actor was Johnny Yong Bosch.
 * Databanks were originally simply called "Banks", according to scrapped concept art of Shadow Eiji.
 * Eiko originally joined before Kazumi. Their order was swapped for pacing reasons.
 * Mahiro's name was originally Fujio. This was changed due to Kaori's surname also being Fujio.
 * The original themes of the game had to do with war and rejecting the past.
 * Itsumi's original online alias was Baba Yaga.
 * Igor was originally the Judgement Arcana before the character "Dad" was introduced.
 * Daizo's original demon form and Shadow were based on Roman coliseums before being changed to a boxing ring. Both of these were changed due to finding it hard to think of a demon form for them.
 * The lesser-known character YHVH was originally planned to be the main antagonist of the game. This was changed due to the protagonist having more holy themes to them and the creators thought it'd be weird for them to battle against a representation of the Judeo-Christian God.
