What teams do you think would have fun interactions, between OGsona and Newsona? Or which Newsona would be able a fun crossover with which OGsona?

I have been yearning a P2IS/P5 crossover ever since I learned P5's plot. It's just (clenches fist) the parallels. I've talked multiple times about how I see P5 as a funhouse mirror version of P2. The closest thing I've gotten to a crossover are the multiple Flowerchild AU fics, but a PQ treatment would be the best for the OG Masked Circle to truly click with the PTs. There are some juicy themes about being outcasts, Children vs Adults, and desires to be had here. There is this headcanon that at least Nate and Elly joined the Shadow Ops or that they helped found it. If that is the case, then we could have a P1/P3 crossover without time travelling anyone. It would be great for the former members of SEES, who had been running on doctored information, guesses and what the Kirijo Group found out through dubious experiments, to join their information of the paranormal with those who received explanations directly from Philemon (and also data recently acquired from SEBEC and the Nanjo Group).

As for individual interactions, assuming this is a PQ3 situation...

Yuka, Ulala, Shinji, Yu and Akira had never realized they had intense opinions about cooking until they met people who were as knowledgeable as them. Not ones to let this opportunity go to waste, their teams peer pressure them into a cooking competition, which they are surprisingly not as intense about. They are having a lovely time and giving encouragement to each other while their most competitive team members jeer at each other in the stands. Somehow this ended with Ulala becoming a mothersister figure to Yuka, offering to get her better hair dyes and giving her dating tips. Shinji and Yu are too busy watching in fascination as Akira does cute cat foam art. This is like a stim video for Yu

Talking about cats, Katsuya and Yu see Morgana with his big blue eyes and tiny feet and go 😍😍😍. Let's hope that being the embodiment of hope prevents Morgana from activating Katsuya's allergies. This would be his dream come true

Maya is fluent in Protagspeak. The other protags could be completely silent staring at everyone with their big, autistic eyes and Maya goes "Hungry, hmm? I'll see if we still have leftovers from that cooking competition 😊", while everyone else is going "Is that what they wanted???". Now they're with Tatsuya following Maya like little ducklings

Tatsuya saw Makoto's Persona and fell in love at first sight. He wishes his Persona was a bike. That would be so cool! He wishes he could see it up close? Would she let him? Makoto is more worried about the fact that one of the scariest (and tallest) Persona Users is glaring at her so hard he seems to be burning holes in her head

While this is happening, Jun is having his own stalker in the form of one Yusuke Kitagawa, who seems to have found a new muse. Don't worry, Maki steps in and distracts him with art talk. Mark eventually joins in

Speaking of, Teddie is finally getting attention from a lady. Unfortunately, its certified weirdgirl Elly. If she doesn't try to climb into Teddie's suit to see if she'll turn into a shadow then I'll eat my own hat. She'll say things like "Hmm, I wonder if you have actual blood flowing in your body or if it only comes to be when you're injured because that's what you have come to expect. Teehee~♡" and expect everyone to be normal. Don't act so calm, Mona, she has set her sight on you next

There is a perfectly normal conversation going on between Elly and Haru :)

The Lovers are having a great time together. One of the most supportive groups towards their fellow Arcanas.

Reiji and Shinji are busy being cool, having their hands in their pockets while leaning against the wall a little separated from the rest. They don't really talk, but there is a silent understanding between them. Michel is considering recruiting them for his band based on aesthetics alone

No one knows who organized the fighting match, but now Yukki, Reiji, Lisa, Akihiko, Chie and Kanji are competing. If you thought the peanut gallery was crazy for the cooking competition, just you wait

As for unexpected friendships:

Tatsuya and Ryuji. What? Ryuji reminded Tatsuya of a better-adjusted Anna mixed with some Michel and Ryuji gravitated towards this cool (but also chill) upperclassman

But you know what's funnier than that? Tatsuya and Yukiko. The kind of unconventional princess-knight dynamic you can only find in Shrek. They're almost a buddy comedy

Maki and Akechi. Yeah, even they don't know how that one happened. Ask Reiji, he has experience with the Maki Phenomenon

Jun and Ann. They just seem like the type

Same with Lisa and Kanji. It just seems right

[katsona-the-katsequel]

Remembered that one time Michel fell in love with someone just because their Personas were married, so I hurried to make this.

Behold, the Greco-Roman Pantheon.

Ok, the point of this is that Metis would be Lisa's gay awakening.

I pity the Persona User who awakens to Zeus/Jupiter. They will have to walk on eggshells around a good portion of the other Users.

Naoya's Team

Tatsuya's Team

Maya's Team

SEES

Investigation Team

Phantom Thieves

Remember, it's important that at least some of them know playground games. Don't ask me why people like Kei, Mitsuru or Haru need money, suspend your desbelief for a sec.

I saw a post today stating "Q series and Tactica absolutely missed the chance to bring back secondary Arcanas" (Post by: yusuke-of-valla).

My question is what secondary arcanas do you see the members of S.E.E.S, Investigation Team and Phantom Thieves having?

Ooooh, now this is a good one.

Since they're Secondary, these Arcanas will only be able to represent one aspect of the Users. There's a lot of characters, so I did what I love most and made a list:

SEES

Minato: Already has Death, Judgement and technically the World to serve as possible Secondary Arcana. Add to that the Suit of Cups to make the full set

Yukari: Temperance, the Moon, Suit of Swords and Suit of Cups

Junpei: Strength, Suit of Wands and Suit of Coins

Akihiko: Already has the Star as a possible Secondary Arcana. Add to that the Chariot, Strength and the Suit of Coins

Mitsuru: The High Priestess, Judgement, the Suit of Cups and the Suit of Swords

Fuuka: The Star, the Suit of Cups and the Suit of Swords

Aigis: Already has the Fool and Judgement as possible Secondary Arcana. Only add the Suit of Cups and the Suit of Wands

Koromaru: Death, Suit of Wands and Suit of Cups

Ken: The Hermit, the Sun, the Suit of Wands and Suit of Cups

Shinjiro: Already has the Moon. Add to that Death, the Suit of Coins and the Suit of Wands

Investigation Team

Yu: Already has Judgement and the World. Add the Suit of Swords and the Suit of Cups

Yosuke: Justice, the Moon, the Suit of Swords and the Suit of Coins

Chie: The Magician, Strength, the Suit of Coins and the Suit of Cups

Yukiko: The Star, the Suit of Wands and the Suit of Cups

Kanji: The Chariot, the Moon, the Suit of Coins and the Suit of Cups

Rise: Temperance, Judgement, the Suit of Wands and the Suit of Cups

Teddie: The Fool, the Suit of Cups and the Suit of Coins

Naoto: The Magician, the Moon, the Suit of Swords and the Suit of Coins

Phantom Thieves

Akira: Already has the World. Add Justice, the Suit of Wands and the Suit of Cups

Morgana: The Emperor, the Moon, the Suit of Swords and the Suit of Coins

Ryuji: Strength, the Suit of Wands and the Suit of Coins

Ann: Temperance, the Suit of Wands and the Suit of Cups

Yusuke: The Wheel of Fortune, Judgement, the Suit of Wands and the Suit of Cups

Makoto: The Magician, the Empress, the Suit of Swords and the Suit of Wands

Futaba: Death, the Devil, Suit of Swords and the Suit of Cups

Haru: The High Priestess, The Justice, the Suit of Cups and the Suit of Coins

Zenkichi Hasegawa

Flight

Yuka Ayase

Tatsuya Suou

Futaba Sakura

Toshiro Kasukabe

Freeze

Labrys, though like Aigis, was programmed to resort to Fight.

Fawn

Hidehiko Uesugi

Eikichi Mishina

Fuuka Yamagishi

Aigis develops this, though she was programmed to act with Fight responses.

Yu Narukami

Yukiko Amagi

Rise Kujikawa

TEDDIE WAS BORN AS A FAWNER
