The characters or protagonists in the game are Ryuji, Yusuke, Ann and a cat named Morgana, who is said to be giving moral guidance to the characters. However, even Morgana is not yet sure of her own identity. Gamers must take note of the importance of interacting with other characters as they will be battling with different personas that reflect their wishes and needs. All of the characters will traverse through adventures and along the way, they will find new abilities. Helping each other find their identity in the society is the key.

The source also noted that three new options will be featured. Included are cooperation, all-out attack and stealth. In cooperation mode, players will be able to connect with other non-playable characters. As a result, they will be able to make use of the information they could offer. Meanwhile, stealth option will be handy in the dungeons while the all-out attack will return after being featured in "Persona 3."
