Tear Jerker / Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight

• For "Burn My Dread", the stage takes place on top of Tartarus, where Nyx was fought in the original game. At the end, each of the characters individually cheer on Makoto (with the overall tone being as if it's going to be his final dance), and he turns to them all saying, "You're all so precious to me." The song also ends with Makoto clenching his chest with a sorrowful look on his face, evoking his inevitable demise in-canon.
  • Makoto's alternative line at the end, "Everyone... I'm back.", becomes this in a different context if you dress the whole S.E.E.S. (except Makoto, for obvious reasons) in their Persona 4: Arena costumes.
• In the "Memories of You" music video, part of the video is various shots of the four girls scattered around the Gekkoukan rooftop, looking mournful - however, of particular note is Aigis sitting on and looking at the spot where Makoto died. It pulls the heartstrings.
• While "Way of Life" is relatively upbeat it can go completely 180 when Aigis is partnered with Makoto and says this at the end of their Fever Time considering what happened in the game's ending.
  "Aigis: That was fast!, I'm a little sad to see you go...., our time together was very fulfilling"

• Basically any of Shinjiro's partner dances could apply.
  • If Ken is Shinjiro's partner during the latter's performance, their faces are rather sorrowful throughout Fever time, emphasizing their conflict in the main game.
  • If Makoto is Shinjiro's partner, at one point they take the same poses they were at when they died — Makoto as the Great Seal and Shinjiro taking the bullet for Ken.
  • If Mitsuru is Shinjiro's partner, there's a sense of support for one another (with Shinjiro helping her perform a jump), yet at the end Mitsuru runs off as if she'd just witnessed something horrific.
  • If Akihiko is Shinjiro's partner, they're both in sync to an almost heart-wrenching extent when you remember what happened to Shinjiro in the original game and how Akihiko felt about it. Though it's a lot of the same choreography as Makoto's, his is actually matching up with Shinjiro's as if to show more of an understanding and protection of each other. In fact, Akihiko is the only partner that doesn't leave Shinjiro at the end of his Fever — it's Shinjiro that has to leave Akihiko. Not made better by one of the things that Akihiko can say while playing this part:
    Akihiko: Brings back memories, eh, Shinji?
• Judging from the game's dialogue, this version of Elizabeth is from the future, after Persona 4: Dancing All Night has already occured, meaning she has already witnessed Makoto's ultimate fate at the end of Persona 3. Reading between Elizabeth's lines in her dialogue during her second Social Event is her basically not wanting the dream to end because that means being once again separated from Makoto.
• What is one of the things that's visible inside of Ken's room? A framed photo of him with his mom.
  • When completing a song, Ken has the chance to say "Were you watching, Mom?"
