And what about the characters in Dragon Quest? What kind of life would they have in the Persona universe? What would their role be? Their Persona? Their phantom thief costume? So many possibilities!!

That now wraps up the information for Week 2! But before we end off, here are some weekly fun facts!!

Persona Fun Fact:

It's got a strange connection with a certain Swiss psychiatrist! A core theme for the Persona series is the idea of analytical psychology, which focuses on the importance of the individual psyche and includes concepts such as the id, super-ego, anima, animus, and 'the self'. Often referred to as Jungian psychology due to the fact that the Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Jung originated much of these ideas, notions taken from this brand of psychology can be found in every Persona title; the connection is made even more obvious when you look for references inserted by the developers. For example the license plate of a car in Persona 4 is CH8700, a reference to Jung's hometown Küsnacht; CH is the country code for Switzerland and 8700 is the postal code for the town!!

Dragon Quest Fun Fact:

The bride candidates (Bianca, Nera, and Deborah) from DQ 5, are direct descendents from Solo of DQ 4. This fact was also brought up by super smash brothers Series Director Masahiro Sakurai in the Hero presentation!

The importance of this is that Solo himself is half Zenithian! Zenithians are a race of winged angels that reside in the kingdom of Zenithia. This makes the DQ 5 descendents of Zenithians themselves! How heavenly!!

That's all for now! The due date for this theme is July 16th!! Use the hashtag #PersonaxDq2. We look forward to seeing what you have in store. And we also hope you look forward to the following weeks!!
