On February 12, 2026, Noisy Pixel reported on a commemorative illustration from Atlus depicting all of the protagonists from the Persona games. I reviewed the illustration closely. I will assume arguendo that Atlus did not miss any protagonists from Persona and the two Persona 2 entries (I have yet to play those), but as a veteran of multiple Persona 3 FES play-throughs, I could not help but notice that one Persona protagonist is missing from the illustration. I shall not write the name here since Persona 3 Reload and its DLCs are out in the wild and there may be some people out there who are unaware of the twist, but I covered the subject of the excellent **missing protagonist** when I shared a plain text guide to Persona 3 FES’s “The Answer” epilogue that I wrote for a friend back in 2011. Of course, I will forgive Atlus’s oversight if it makes some visible progress on a Persona 6 instead of focusing exclusively on re-makes and spinoffs. (HT to me for using an external post about an Atlus promotional image to share links to most of my extant Persona articles.)",
