Wild Cards

Persona 3 & 4

I just got Persona 4 Golden for the Vita. The reason I got it was because my interest was sparked by A Demon Among Devils by The Crimson Lord (Great Story!). I also plan to get Persona 3 FES for PS2 (Yeah, I only have a PS2, but I do have an Xbox 360.), just need to order it on Amazon or ask for it for my birthday or Christmas. But from what I do know from researching the series to decide whether or not to get them, this idea was sparked.

Inverted timeline: Persona 4 happens before Persona 3.

Yu Narukami moves to Iwatodai City around the same time as Minato Arisato. Shortly after, Yu begins noticing the Dark Hour. Contacting his friends he finds out they have been experiencing the same.

SEES confronts him when they find out and recruit him. Expecting him to not have a Persona yet they send him on a quick mission with Shinjiro Aragaki (Maybe someone else, we'll see.). Things quickly seem to go FUBAR when a Reaper shows up only for Yu to call forth Izanagi and a couple of other Personas and proceeds to curbstomp it.

Now SEES has a Wild Card capable of summoning multiple Personas with his Ultimate Persona already unlocked on the team in the beginning.

Rise, back to being an idol, makes Iwatodai her temporary home so she can help out as much as possible.

Via creative license Iwatodai and Inaba are close enough that the other members of the Investigation Team can come visit on weekends at times.

Initially OPed Yu and Investigation Team, with the members of SEES, especially Minato, eventually catching up.

OP Investigation Team means Everyone Level 99, Max Social Links, Ultimate Personas for Team, All Personas for Yu, Full Reaper Gear, etc.

Yu/Rise/possibly Yukiko and/or Naoto.

Yosuke/Chie

Minato/Mitsuru?

Possible other pairings.
