ROUND 4 PART 8!

Light The Fire Up In The Night (P3 Side) (Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth) VS Last Surprise (Persona 5)

LTFUITN

The better version of Light The Fire Up In The Night.

Mod's Statement:

I disagree with that propaganda, I love them both equally. This song slaps.

Also why is it "Persona Q?"

... Alright looked it up and it's because of it being based on Etrian Odyssey, which is called "Sekaiju no Meikyū," often abbreviated to SQ. So they took the Q from that.

Last Surprise

youll never see it COMIIIIING (jk you probably saw this submission coming)

Mod's Statement:

How was this only submitted once? I guess people just assumed someone else would do it?

Hey by the way to the crowd who maybe Persona 3 Reload is their very first Persona or maybe your first time experiencing Persona 3 in general, if you really liked it and you want more of these characters, well good news cause there's a canon (somewhat) spin off that's really really good on the 3DS called Persona Q or shortened to just PQ it's a different kind of game it's a drpg; a first person dungeon crawler and the art style is a really cute chibi style, but it's a ton of fun and it's the cast from Persona 3 and 4 and can easily be emulated on any somewhat powerful PC.

VERY fun game with fantastic music and fun moments with the gang and you even get to choose at the beginning if you want to focus more on the Persona 3 or Persona 4 side of things but either way both casts are in it.

Challenging but nothing too bad even if it's your first DRPG. But if you do basically just wanna cruise through it using the kill spells (hama, mudo) and Aigis on your team makes quick work of most encounters.

Hope y'all have fun with it!

Have zen x Rei PQ fankid Nirvana! She attends shujin and is somehow a gothy prep who’s very cheerful about morbid and dark topics and true crime she somehow gets involved with the phantom thieves and gets her persona.

[strange-mystery]

Thinking abt PQ again

[littleshysheep-at-da]

And we’re just in time for The Answer!!! I was in a Persona mood because of it so I did the math!

Still debating just Linking some of my longer Persona Google Docs but idk how public I want them (how much will you guys judge my thought process shown in Doc ngl)?

I think this could count as an Autism Diagnosis Part 2/2 Persona Part (tbh because Persona is a Game I have waaay more Numbers Stats for info than just this but this one is the most… out there).

It’s listed as the 2nd one because I made this version (reformatting and checked some math) after P5T, I have yet to count P3Re but I am excited too. At some point I plan to put it all in a Spreadsheet for funnies.

I am also debating just linking some of my Persona Google Docs but idk how public I want them to be (and how traceable irl Google Docs make me ngl…..)

Timeline Preface

First of all, it's necessary to make clear which years will be used as reference for each game, for these years will dictate everything else in the timeline.

In total, we will be covering 20 years of in-game events plus a few here and there. The following is a list of the events that WILL NOT be considered canon in the timeline, just to keep it in mind:

Comic Anthologies

Live Action and Stage Adaptations

Drama CDs unless specifically mentioned

Novel Adaptations

That weird promotional P4 flash game

The ones that WILL be considered canon and will be included in the timeline are the following:

Plus the Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PSP additional scenario.

Final Details

After each part, I will be including a "personal assumptions and headcanons" section. None of the things mentioned in said section are confirmed, in fact, some headcanons will be mentioned. Its purpose is just to enrich the canon already established by the timeline. You'll get it when you see it.

If there is a Social Link/Extra Scene/Additional Dialogue in another game/novel/CD that wasn´t in the list but enriches the story, those details will be included (glances at P3 Portable and Reload). A similar thing happened with PQ, which was almost included because of Chronos. Since everyone's memories were erased anyways, I just took Chronos and left them in their pocket dimension to live their non-canon adventures. Same thing happened with the P1 manga, since it offered extra details and more about Naoya. From Tsumi to Batsu I only took the extended Philemon lore.

Possible Questions

“Why wasn't X media included?”

It depends.

I would have been okay with Tsumi if it didn't overlap with what happens in the main game. Batsu did have some interesting elements, but I couldn't find a gameplay in a language I spoke.

I wanted to include Tsumi ga Ataeshi Batsu so badly, but also couldn't find it online.

I didn't include Vanilla P3 since it needed The Answer to feel truly complete. The same happened with Golden and Royal. Portable was already an AU the moment Minako was included (sorry, queen). Honestly, you can just ignore the extra content from the remastered games or change Minato's name to Minako/Hamuko/Kotone to get the timeline you want (if you want the full FeMC experience, also read Velvet Blue).

At the moment of this timeline's creation, Reload still hasn't launched their own version of The Answer.

Ask me for specifics about other media that wasn't included.

"You forgot X media, which wasn't on either list!"

PLEASE, LET ME KNOW! I know the wiki is incomplete (discovered this when I tried doing an iceberg years ago), and that some media slips through the cracks.

If you can provide a link where I can read/watch/hear it (either English or Spanish is fine), I would be eternally grateful (also if someone can give me a translation of the Naruhodona-SEES section of the Persona Stalker Club pretty please, I would kiss you).

Though if new media was released after March 2024, the year this timeline was made, then that's why it wasn't included.

"Are the timelines already done?"

Nope. They're still in progress, but I wanted to leave some things clear before I published them. If you have any proposals or recommendations, there's still time.

That's all for now. See you next week!
