Continuity
The DDS reference is literally just the name of a soda. More of a shout out than a reference. Next you are going to say we claim Persona is in continuity with Battlestar Galatica due to Cylon Tea? No, the references are a little more meaningful than that. Aside from the obvious (Igor and the Velvet Room), Takeharu Kirijo directly mentions the Nanjo Group, a blue butterfly appears throughout both games (either in cutscenes or as save points) and even directly gives Aigis her Wild Card (Atlus has confirmed the identity of the butterfly btw), and P3's Who's Who refers to characters from previous games, so, if anything, they exist in the P3/P4 world. It'd be more fanwank to say that these guys are alternate universe counterparts who never had a persona (OK, so Eikichi, Tatsuya, and Lisa technically are, but Eternal Punishment implies they still do have them, even if they haven't reawakened), than to assume that they are the same characters from previous games. While the events of the previous games aren't directly called back to, there is more evidence for than against (although the evidence for is small, admitting, the evidence against is, well, not there.) Meanwhile, you haven't given any proof to your side besides "I said it isn't, so it isn't" and "those don't count because I said they don't" (although in fairness, I wouldn't surprised if you just didn't know about Who's Who or didn't catch the Nanjo mention, and legitimately thought it was just an item shout out like Cielo Mist) There are a few things that don't quite click (for example, Persona summoning and the exact way you acquire one seems to change each game), but this applies as much to P3 compared to P4 as it does P1 and P2 compared to P3 and P4. Sorry for any rudeness.--Otherarrow 16:42, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
