Story

A revolution in your heart.

Nearing graduation, the members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts gather at Cafe Leblanc on a snowy day. Then suddenly, the world shook and something unusual occurred. A strange light began to illuminate from the doors of the cafe. Cautiously opening the doors, what awaited the group was a new, never-before-seen world.

In a town reminiscent of medieval Europe, Joker and the gang were attacked by a mysterious armed group. Right when they were facing certain doom, they were saved by a person who goes by the name “Elle the Revolutionary.” In return for saving them, she asks for their help in her “revolution” efforts. Will the Phantom Thieves take up her offer?

Characters

Led by Elle the Revolutionary, the story begins to unfold!

• Joker (voiced by Jun Fukuyama) – This game’s hero, and the player’s avatar. A second-year high school student. After getting involved in the Psychotic Breakdown incidents, he awakened his Persona. He is the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, a group that aims to make rotten adults repent and reform. His codename is “Joker.” His Persona is Arsene.
• Morgana (voiced by Ikue Otani) – A mysterious, talking, cat-like being that our heroes met in another world. After being saved by Joker, he tags along with the group. He knows a lot about this world, and so he acts as a guide, as well a mascot. His codename is “Mona.” His Persona is Zorro.
• Elle (voiced by Rie Takahashi) – A girl who saves Joker and the Phantom Thieves when they wandered into the world. She isn’t the best at thinking of details, and tends to act without putting much thought into things. But it is through this ability to act, and her cheerful and spirited personality that she was able to garner the trust of others, making her the leader of the “revolution.” In order to accomplish this revolution, she tries to strike a deal with the Phantom Thieves to help her. But what will happen?
