Legend has it that listening to the end of the bell chimes of Yasogami High's clock tower causes people to die, and this time the bell tolls for the Investigation Team and the SEES. Trapped in an other-world filled with Shadows, the protagonists from Persona 3 and Persona 4 each have different events to follow, allowing the player to choose and experience two different plotlines. As both groups seek a way out of the labyrinth, they will run in to two new characters, Rei and Zen, who may hold the secret to this new mystery.

- Question -- Oh Persona, are there social li--
- Answer -- Please see the thread title!
- Question -- What languages are there for audio?
- Answer -- Due to space issues, only English VA will be available.
- Question -- What did J-GAF think?
- Answer -- Find out in the import impressions thread! Check it out!
- Question -- I like Etrian but didn't get into Persona. How hard is this to understand?
- Answer -- it gives you an overview of characters, but you will get more out of the game if you experienced Persona 3 and Persona 4.
- Question -- I like Persona but thought Etrian was too hard. Suggestions?
- Answer -- Multiple difficulty settings! Play on one of five difficulty options, which you can change at any point in the game (UNLESS you play Risky. Then you're kinda stuck on that path of terror).
- Question -- So....how risky IS Risky?
- Answer -- It's so risky that it is incredibly challenging and adds on the stipulation that if your chosen protagonist falls in battle, it's an automatic game over!
- Question -- How many hours to completion?
- Answer -- Seems the average falls in between 60 to 80 hours for the first playthrough. A second playthrough following that significantly decreases that.
- Question -- Who do I choose, Persona 3 protagonist or Persona 4 protagonist?
- Answer -- Go with what the heart wants.
