Persona 3 portable fusion chart series#

Some arcana pairs are incompatible and cannot be fused. The Arcana system is generally a decisive factor in the fusion process, where fusing Personas of specific Arcana will result in a Persona of another Arcana. Faith is listed on the bottom of the Confidant list in the menu.

Nontraditional decks used in the Persona series include Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot deck (Hierophant & Priest/Apostle, Lust/Hunger, Aeon, Universe), El Gran Tarot Esoterico (Consultant/Councillor), and the various incomplete Visconti-Sforza decks (Hope, Faith). While most Major Arcana in the Persona series are derived from the traditional 22-card deck, alternative and nontraditional Arcanas are also used, usually with the same numbers as their traditional equivalent, such as the Jester Arcana and the Fool Arcana both numbered as '0,' or no numbers in the case of the Faith and Hope Arcanas. Persona 3 Portable complicates the rule, as Akihiko Sanada and Shinjiro Aragaki as Social Links are represented by different Arcana than their Persona counterpart. Each Persona user also has an Arcana they are related to as well, usually defined by their first Persona.Īlthough in regular cases, each Arcana is represented by only 1 individual, Persona 3 serves as an exception to this rule, as the Social Link characters that can be hung out with are different from the male and enemy combatants, who cannot be hung out with. Starting from Persona 3, each Arcana has a related Social Link or Confidant, usually with a 'story arc' related to an individual that represents the Arcana it's related to, with the exception of the World Arcana, which is rarely seen in gameplay and does not have a related Confidant, as it is to symbolize the end of the protagonist's journey. The story of each Arcana primarily explores one's understanding and awareness of oneself and their place in the world: the stories may start off with self-discovery while closing towards awareness of the outer world.

These racial equivalences were partially kept in Persona 2 and abandoned in Persona 3 onwards, which instead divided Personas on how they are most closely related to their Arcana, such as the Lovers Arcana being comprised of demons who are related to love and relationships. According to the Persona World guide, each Arcana in Megami Ibunroku Persona equals a specific race (such as the Lovers Arcana being composed of demons from the Fairy race). In the Persona series, the Personas' Arcana are functionally equivalent to demon races.
