Profile[]
Persona 3 / FES / Portable / Reload[]
"In this mode, my limiter is temporarily disabled. Thus, my offensive capability increases significantly. However, since my inhibition logic is disabled as well, I am entirely autonomous during that time. Furthermore, once Orgia Mode has been activated, it cannot be canceled until I overheat. Then, a cool down period is required before I can resume normal operation. Orgia Mode only lasts for a short while, so timing is crucial."
In Persona 3, Orgia Mode is Aigis' exclusive Tactic command, increasing her overall attack capabilities and removing any status ailments upon activation, at the cost of being immobile after using it. Exclusive in Portable, skills used in Orgia Mode do consume HP or SP.
Aigis under Orgia Mode in Reload
In Reload, Orgia Mode is the first Theurgy skill available to Aigis. Unlike in previous versions, it cannot be used if Aigis is having an ailment. Upon activation, it inflicts heavy Pierce damage to all foes, and gives her a status ailment of the same name that cannot be removed. This ailment lasts for three turns (or more with certain equipment) and causes her to automatically attack unprompted, although her skills do not consume HP or SP during this period. While in Orgia Mode, Aigis has her attack and defense increased, is immune to all other ailments (except K.O.), and cannot be knocked down even when her weakness is hit. She cannot receive Shift, but she can still participate in an All-Out Attack and even trigger it if her attack manages to knock down all enemies.
At the end of her last turn, Orgia Mode expires and is replaced with Overheat, which lasts and prevents Aigis from moving for one turn.

The Answer[]
During the events of the epilogue in FES, Aigis overuses her Orgia Mode in order to subdue Metis. While Aigis no longer has access to Orgia Mode, her previous role in the party has been replaced and enhanced by Metis' "Neo" Orgia Mode. Upon activation, "Neo" Orgia Mode allows boosts Metis' offense and also lets her use her skills at no cost.
In Reload, Orgia Mode has been moved to one of Metis' Theurgy attacks and now deals Strike damage.

Persona 4 Arena / Arena Ultimax[]
Aigis activating Orgia Mode in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
During the Arena series, Orgia Mode becomes one of Aigis' two defining mechanics (alongside her limited ammo). Activating it grants her extra mobility options, such as boosting (both forwards and backwards), air boosting, and hovering. Aigis also gains access to new attacks, such as Megido Fire and the Pandora Missle Launcher. However, performing Orgia actions consumes a portion of the gauge, and the gauge slowly empties with time (including when Aigis is blocking, getting combo'd, and even while idle). If the gauge empties, Aigis enters an overheated state and Orgia Mode is temporarily disabled for an extended period of time. Fortunately, it can be deactivated manually (and even without penalty with certain commands).
In Persona 4 Arena Ultimax specifically, Aigis has access to Extreme Orgia Mode, an enhanced variation with increased mobility and attack power. During this mode, her persona cards, bullets, and Orgia gauge will recover, and Athena counterattacks immediately while using her normals. However this mode is only available if Aigis is out of bullets, overheated, and for 150 SP. And, after Extreme Orgia Mode ends, Aigis will return to Orgia overheat.
Persona Q series[]
In Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, Orgia is an ability of Aigis that requires one turn to activate, which also removes any ailments or binds on her. For the next two turns, her damage output is doubled. However, after that, Aigis must spend 3 turns to cool down.
In Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, Aigis uses Orgia Mode to protect the P3 hero while they are separate from their teammates in A.I.G.I.S. Labyrinth, but she soon overheats and is rendered motionless. Ribbon, a robot modelled after Aigis, can also access Orgia Mode, but the ability is only usable during the battle against Mother Computer, when she fails to hack into the AI's system. Upon activation, Ribbon's Orgia disables Mother Computer's healing ability, allowing the party to defeat the AI for good. After the battle, Ribbon seems to be deactivated due to energy overload, but is eventually saved and revived by Futaba.
