MAIN CHARACTERS
・Koromaru (Voice: Shinya Takahashi)
is a dog who awakens his Persona abilities through a certain incident. He was being taken care of by a priest at a shrine nearby the dorm. After he loses his master, SEES take him into their care and make him a member. He is extremely intelligent and loyal. Thanks to his friendly and gentle personality, Koromaru instantly bonds with the gang. He seems to be particularly close with Aigis, who acts as his translator, and Ken. During battles, he attacks with a sword he holds in his mouth. His Persona, Cerberus, specializes in darkness skills.
・Aigis (Voice: Maaya Sakamoto)
Aigis is a seventh-generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapon who was created by humans. Built with a humanoid form and a heart capable of Persona abilities, she eventually joins SEES.
For some unknown reason, she seems to be particularly attached to the protagonist right from the get-go. Though her behavior is robotic and machine-like in the beginning, Aigis gradually awakens her human emotions as she spends time with the group. During battles, she uses her built-in armaments. Her Persona, Palladion, specializes in physical damage and support skills.
Ken Amada (Voice: Megumi Ogata)
Ken is a fifth grader at Gekkoukan Elementary School. He is the only elementary school student within SEES.
After his mother passed away in an accident, he moved into a dorm in Iwatodai.
A certain series of events leads to him awakening his Persona abilities and joining SEES. While Ken tries to put up a polite and mature front, he also has a childlike side to him, such as his fondness for hero shows. He uses a long spear during combat. His Persona, Nemesis, specializes in light attacks.
Shinjiro Aragaki (Voice: Kazuya Nakai)
Shinjiro is a third-year at Gekkoukan High, but he is rarely seen around the school. He is one of the founding members of SEES, along with Mitsuru and Akihiko.
For two years he was absent from the group, but he returns due to certain circumstances. Hiding under a taciturn and curt exterior is a kind soul who is also skilled at cooking. Shinjiro loves animals, and he spoils Koromaru when people aren’t looking. During battles, he wields blunt weapons like axes. His Persona, Castor, specializes in ferocious physical attacks.
*All footage shown in the trailers and the press release is from the Japanese edition of the game which is still under development. English Language support will be available on release.
