A list of moments in Persona that have gotten funnier with age.
- In Persona 3, when Mitsuru signs your character up for the student council, the game tells you to see your homeroom teacher. Specifically, it tells you to see Ms. Toriumi and "let her know you're interested." with the emphasis on "interested". This turns funny when, later on, you learn that Ms. Toriumi is the Love Interest you met on an online game.
- The New Transfer Student Ryoji Mochizuki, Kidanova and Chick Magnet, gets his foot painfully stomped on by an angry Yukari, and "punished" by Mitsuru for peeking in the open-air bath. He is also the projected avatar of Death itself, but nobody knew that at the time. This knowledge makes those scenes even funnier in retrospect, especially for his reactions.
- One of Elizabeth's requests asks the main character to let her borrow a handheld game from Junpei. However, upon playing it, she believes it is evil because it makes people play it for hours upon hours. Persona 3 would be ported onto the PSP a few years later.
- Maybe it's not hilarious per se, but the constant worrying on the news about the yen falling against the dollar is kind of amusing when in fact Japan ended up with the exact opposite problem (during the time frame of the game, the yen kept going up, and is now, in 2010, so strong that other countries are considering Japan too expensive to trade with, leading the government to have to think of a way to bring it back down). ... well, maybe that one only works for people who live in Japan.
- If you talk to your Justice Social Link, Chihiro, after the final battle, she will say that people should be allowed to fall in love regardless of age. In her case, there's only an age gap of one year between her and the protagonist, which is largely negligible, although Chihiro uses more polite language on the protagonist than his yearmates or upperclassmen do out of respect for him being older. In P3P, Ken takes her place as Justice for the female protagonist and is a potential Love Interest despite being only ten years old.
- The article Chihiro mentions is "The history of passionate love between teachers and students." The protagonist's teacher becomes a romance option in Persona 5.
