Mask[]

I know that the Mask was mentioned a lot in Persona 2 to Persona 5. But what about Megami Ibunroku Persona was it even mentioned in that game. --Cococrash11 (talk) 20:56, September 17, 2015 (UTC)

Never mind I found it and the game does mentioned it. Also should the section under trivia mention that the term Masks has appeared a lot in the Persona Series. --Cococrash11 (talk) 21:02, September 17, 2015 (UTC)

If I recall, the word "Persona" literally means "mask", so yeah, mask symbolism has been a thing since the beginning. Aside from the explicit mentions and more obvious symbolism (such as the P2 Featherman masks or the P5 Persona masks), note how a good number of the character specific Personas (and indeed, most of the Personas from the first two games not based on a earlier design) wear masks of some sort in place of having actual faces. I am not sure it's something we need to go into in depth (we run the risk of pointing out super obvious things that anyone could notice), but at the very least, the "mask = Persona" parallel should be noted.--Otherarrow (talk) 21:10, September 17, 2015 (UTC)
