  • Have you ever wondered about Ren Amamiya’s parents from Persona 5?
    In this video I set out to prove that his parents are the main characters of another Atlus game. Also, I made a mistake on the the part about Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. You can just ignore that 10 seconds of the video. Pretty sure the rest of the video is still accurate.
    And a big shout out to Mushroom Intruder for their amazing fanart. Check out their channel here: • An fanart for @KumaPlays

    I highly doubt Atlus will ever let this be the case, but it is a fun theory in my opinion.
    Also, I think I messed up on the part about Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. The Persona Q part still holds up though, so just forget the 10 seconds I talk about Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. LOL.

    The funny thing is that I actually confused Ren from Persona with the character from Catheryn (or whatever you call it) that I vaguely remembered from some youtuber gameplay. I thought that soon in persona we gonna see Ren half naked with horns. XD

    • @KumaPlays
      @KumaPlays  Год назад +7

      That is funny! I think the developers used Catherine as a sort of proof of concept for Persona 5. So, there are definitely similarities.

    The problem with it being Catherine is that in one of the endings it’s revealed that the game actually takes place on Mars. A space colony built city, that would be difficult unless the theory is that the parents moved back to Earth.

    i know im late but what if due to the new timeline in persona 2 everything changed for example Vincent and Catharine meet around 2001 or ever before that that could also mean something which results in coming up to the events of persona 5

    Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but that isn't what happens in P4A. It takes place after P4 and the P3 characters have aged accordingly.
    PQ does have some sort of time manipulation though.

    Few things worth noting
    1.The Vincent in P3 is non-canon to either game, or at least isn't the exact same one as in Catherine. The biggest giveaway is the mole under his eye, and the fact that Vincent isn't Japanese. It was probably just added there as an easter egg to promote Catherine's release. Maybe a case could be made that an alternative version of Vincent is Ren's dad, but I think that would be a stretch.
    2. In one of the endings, it's shown that the entire game of Catherine takes place in a space colony. Needless to say this doesn't really fit with Persona's canon, especially during 2009.
    3. The Arena games don't have anything to do with time travel. The P3 characters are simply aged up to how old they are during the time of P4. It's true that they're all brought to the P-1 Climax but they all come from the same place and time. It doesn't really resurrect any characters either as far as I remember.

    • @KumaPlays
      @KumaPlays  Год назад +10

      Thank you for the really well thought out comments. It is truly appreciated! You make a lot of really good points here. TLDR, I really don't think Atlus will ever allow this to be the case. They have said that the two series are not linked in any way.... despite the Phantom Thieves appearing in Catherine Full Body.
      1) That is totally true. The drinking man in P3 is not exactly the same version of Vincent from the Catherine games. It is totally just fan service or cross promotion. I even mention in this video that the P3 "Vincent" doesn't line up, although I probably could have said it more directly. However, when time travel and multiverses are concerned, it could still mean that a different version of Vincent is Ren's father.
      2) You are totally right about one of the endings showing Vincent's apartment is on a space station. But in another ending, Vincent turns into a demon and his apartment is shown in the demon realm. In another ending Catherine goes back in time to Vincent's high school and changes the timeline. Since time travel and demons are involved, and since Persona/MegaTen take place in a multiverse, there are lots of options for crossovers. You are right in that the space station setting makes it difficult for Catherine and Persona to share a universe. But since multiple Persona games see characters jump across universes, I still think it is slightly possible that somehow Catherine's child gets sent into another universe where the events of P5 unfold for Ren.
      3) I completely agree that the Mitsuru, Aigis, Akihiko, and Fuuka we see in the Arena games are older versions of the same characters. But P4AU also talks a lot about P3's protagonist in a present tense, although neither version ever appears in the game to my knowledge. However, Shuji Ikutsuki does appear in P4AU, and he is legitimately dead in P3. I always thought the Arena games were similar to the Persona Q games, in that they take characters out of different timelines/universes. The PQ games outright state they take people from multiple timelines. Also, PQ2 has both the male and female versions of P3's protagonist, meaning characters from multiple universes are in one place. Finally, members of the P3 and P4 casts state it is different years in PQ2, 2009 or 2011 depending on who you ask. I assume P4AU follows the same logic. I'll be honest though, Persona's timeline always gets a little murky for me, especially when taking all the spinoffs into consideration.
      Hope that helps to explain what I was thinking. But yeah, even Atlus has stated Persona and Catherine aren't linked, so this whole theory will probably always have to be just my head canon.

      @KumaPlays  Год назад +4

      @HexenVexen The more I think about it, the more I think I messed up with P4AU. I was having a conversation about Makoto and Ikutsuki in P4AU, but I don't think either of them is really in the game. The Persona Q part still holds up, but you are totally right about P4AU.

    • @hexenvexen
      @hexenvexen Год назад +6

      @@KumaPlays I think you misunderstand, P3 and P4 both take place in the same universe. Really, all of the Persona games take place in the same universe except for P2IS due to the timeline change. The whole reason why the P3 characters get involved is because they travelled to Inaba to investigate the missing Labrys unit, and end up meeting the P4 cast there. It's the same P3 characters we see in P3, but now they're adults. They talk about Makoto's status of being dead multiple times, although they don't directly say his name. In fact, the main reason Elizabeth is involved is because she's trying to find a way to bring him back from the dead. It even acknowledges the events of The Answer in regards to Aigis and Erebus as well. The appearance of Ikutsuki is just an illusion created by Sho, he's not actually brought back to life. The PQ games take the characters out of the middle of their games, but the Arena games are legitmate sequels that follow the series' timeline. The characters all keep their memories of Arena as well, so in a future crossover the P3 and P4 characters would both remember the events (and perhaps we could even see some P4 characters join the Shadow Operatives).
