The main element of the game are the Personas, various creatures and monsters which are associated with the Major Arcana of the Tarot.[1] Each Persona has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, and possess various abilities, ranging from offensive and support abilities, to passive abilities that support the character. Whereas each of the game's main characters has their own Persona, some of which change form as the story progresses, the protagonist is capable of wielding multiple Personas, which can be switched between during battles.[6] New Personas can be created by visiting the Velvet Room and fusing together multiple Personas, passing along certain moves from the Personas used.
