History Fanfic / IfYouRegretResetTheGame

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike the rest of the cast, Futaba's personas aren't based on figures from history or mythology, but rather more modern bases. Her 1st persona in particular is Mydoom, the most devastating computer virus in history.

* Both Crow and Akira retain the same third tier Persona's as their original selves. [[spoiler:Since they both actually had the memories of the original Persona 5 Royal timeline via NewGamePlus, this can be justified.]]

** Due to AdaptationalAngstDowngrade, Kasumi didn't die in a car accident and attends Kosei high school instead.
** Akechi's mother, Jin, did not die and never met Shido so she is also SparedByAdaptation.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Wakaba Isshiki, Futaba's mother, is alive and well in this AU, taking Sae's role in interrogating the protagonist as well as being the 6th palace ruler.

* TakeThat: The main artist of the AU detests "Studly Guy" (Morgana's human appearance in Maruki's reality), and wastes no opportunity to take potshots at him.

* BreakingOldTrends. In the original game, the Lovers, Empress and High Priestess confidants/social links are filled by female characters. In IYR, The swap of roles change the Arcana's such as Yusuke and Akira being the Lovers and Empress arcana confidants for Haru, and Morgana being the High Priestess confidant for her as well. In the original games, the Lovers and Empress arcana's are filled with female characters. The same also applies to Futaba who is now of the Emperor Arcana confidant, which is usually filled by male characters in the original games.

* IdenticalStranger: Ren is physically similar enough to Akira that she was initially thought to be Akira's crossdressing alter ego when she was initially revealed before the artist clarified that Ren is a separate individual from him.

** Due to Shido lacking the ability to cause mental shutdowns thanks to Akechi, not only are Akechi's mother (given the name Jin) and Wakaba Isshiki SparedByTheAdaptation, but Shido himself lacks any sort of power.

** Akira is still working at [=LaBlanc=], albeit only part time due to his modeling job.

** Shori's palace has the eSports team she is the leader of depicted as oversized puppets who constantly repeat phrases that show how she really feels about them under risk of getting their strings cut.

* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Played with a little more than in canon. Makoto and Wakaba are just as benevolent as who they replace, but there are two subversions in the form of Futaba's abusive manager Akiko Shori and Akira's mother Fumiko Kurusu.

* AdaptationNameChange: With the exceptions of Akechi (who's still Crow), and Makoto (who's still Queen), each of the Phantom Thieves have a new codename in this AU.
** Haru is Lucky instead of Noir.
** Sumire is Spark instead of Violet.
** Yusuke is Plume instead of Fox.
** Futaba is Idle instead of Oracle.
** Morgana is Twist instead of Mona.
** Akira is Rook instead of Joker.
** Ann is Vixen instead of Panther.
** Ryuji is Citrine instead of Skull.

* AgeLift: While Morgana in canon has a VagueAge, [[spoiler:when he becomes human in Maruki's reality, he looks like a boy around Joker's age]]. Here, he's a 13-year old boy.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike the rest of the cast, Futaba's personas aren't based on figures from history or mythology, but rather computer viruses. Her 3rd persona in particular is Mydoom, the most devastating computer virus in history.

* AlwaysFemale: AvertedTrope which doubled as BreakingOldTrends. The swap of roles change the Arcana's such as Yusuke and Akira being the Lovers and Empress arcana confidants for Haru. In the original games, the Lovers and Empress arcana's are filled with female characters. The same also applies to Futaba who is now of the Emperor Arcana.

** Due to Sae and Wakaba swapping roles, the former ends up dying, causing Makotot to become a suicidally depressed shut-in.
