Well if we use the roman numeral rule for P5's date of "20XX", it should be "2020".

[@paperluigi6132]

An in-game (missable) TV broadcast in P5 mentions that Rise is 21. As we all know, Rise is 16 during P4, which takes place in 2011-12. Due to that hint, and the in-game calendar matching the irl calendar, it's easy to deduce that P5 takes place in 2016-17, with Strikers taking place about 4 months after the ending.

Trails into Reverie is a very similar premise to that, but with 3 teams. You can select whichever you want to play as at any given time and they all have stories happening in parallel that affect each other, and sometimes even directly unlock something in the other route, and then they all converge at the end. Unfortunately I can't really recommend it, not because it's bad, it's great, but because it's the culmination of a long-running series with 9 games prior to that one.

I don’t know that I agree if it’s clever.. I think it’s clever in Catherine, to make Catherine feel timeless and a little mysterious. But it annoys me for a persons game. Part of the charm of Persona 3 and 4 is that I can look back on the years those games took place: I know where I was when SEES went to the beach or when the Investigation Team rented mopeds. I know what I was doing when Makoto Yuki sacrificed himself to stop Nyx and when Yu Narukami fought Izanami. And knowing how much time has passed makes it more meaningful when we see them again in media that takes place after their game, like Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and Persona 4 Dancing. Giving the games a canon year helped me relate a lot to the characters and feel like they were real friends to me. Aaaaand… P5 doesn’t do it. So Imo it only detracts from the game that it’s never outright said in dialogue. More so that the only way to find out the year is reverse Engineering the age of a character from a persons game that knew you should just tell the player the year.

I pretty much sure that when attendants created, they weaveved in reality retroactively. Like, Margaret was created sometime in 2011 for Narukami, but then reality rearranged so she became oldest sister and actually existed before and interracted with p3 cast in tartarus. Same happened with Theo, when Minako appeared. Attendants are created FOR Wildcards, not other way around, but then reality rewriten - and bam, they always were here, even before. Of course, that's just an excuse - why don't we see any of late attendants in games before, if they are quite old... cause they were not created by atlus before. But it's a meta-excuse, and i tried to create in-universe excuse. But actully, even if attendants think of themselves as wholesome and independent persons(pun intended) they are created and heavily connected to their Wildcards, they literraly hold links between WC and Sea of Souls - Compendium and act like Anima/Animus for MC.

[@---oq5kb]

Margaret mentions that Elizabeth left her job as an attendant because she wants to save the p3 protag.

Yu calling Junpei Senpai is so sweet, it also reminds me of his moments with Yosuke in the Persona 4 anime

[@mangoinnmclovin]

I'd love it if these games had a Yukkuri voice filter on the characters, Chibis, Yukkuris, annoying ass and cute, stupid and absurd over a sort of serious plot which leads to it becoming hilarious. Perfect.

[@orangeapples]

Wait, how am I just realizing Fuuka’s impressions of Elizabeth and Margaret?

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hehehe, i gotta say, i find it interesting how while we did get definitive Years for when P3 (2009) and P4 (2011) takes place, the P5 Cast didn’t give us anything that could’ve potentially told us just how far into the Future P5 could’ve taken place from P4, I guess they didn’t really want to think about that, huh?

[@ariz2578]

Wait so now what's the timeline between pq and pq2? Are these dreams to the p3,4,5 crews like in the dancing games?

[@WoomyBoomyGG]

Yes

[@princessdawn718]

The PQ games aren’t dreams, they do happen but everyone forgets about it at the end. And I heard that Q2 happens like... the next day after PQ apparently

[@sanicboom6443]

Persona 4 Dancing is canon and not a dream

[@zaqareemalcolm]

P3 - P5 are also still on the same timeline as P1 - P2 the blue butterfly that appears to P3MC, the save points in P4 as well as the one that appears in Q2, are the character Philemon from the older games his creations, Igor and the Velvet Room appear in every numbered game too during the Yakushima trip in P3, Mitsuru's father mentions that the Kirijo Group is an offshoot of the Nanjo Group, who were also mentioned in P1 and the current heir being one of that game's main characters (Kei Nanjo) They also most likely got the idea of developing artifical Persona users after Kei seized research documents about it in Persona 2 Eternal Punishment if you want to go even further, the Persona timeline is also the same timeline as Devil Summoner and Soul Hackers - Soul Hackers 2, and it all started from Shin Megami Tensei: if..., which itself is an alternate outcome from when ICBM hitting Tokyo from Shin Megami Tensei 1 never happened

...this is the first Persona Q video I've seen with English audio. I was convinced that those games just didn't have the English cast. EDIT: Only Q1? Curious....

Q2 was released so late into the 3DS's lifecycle that they didn't bother with english audio.

[@InShane162]

Unrelated but one of the best interactions in this game is to me Is Shinji and Akechi Like the game takes around November for the p5 team. Before the end of Saes Palace. And at some point Shinji pulls Akechi aside and says basicaly: i dont know you whole deal is. But you're vibes are horrendous. Call off whatever your scheming. And Ken is hiding somewhere just watching. And the Cherry ontop being that everyons games still happen passed the point they get sent home. So like a few weeks after that conversation Akechi will be shooting Joker

Persona 3: 2009 Persona 4: 2011 (Rise is still a High School student and a first year, there are 3 years for School age so if Rise is an adult by Persona 5 and is an Idol again) Persona 5 year: in game Calendar reads as 20XX right ? If Rise isn't in School anymore at least a few years have passed. (For 2017 to be the Canon year of Persona 5 that means it's been 6 years since the Inaba Killings)
