Unused Models

Grey Psyche

PS0E7.RMD contains a grey tinted version of Psyche. There's usually grey tinted versions of all the SEES members' ultimate Personas (except Juno) for the shadow protagonist boss fight in The Answer, who copies the Personas of the current party members, but when Metis is included in the party, the shadow protagonist never uses Psyche, making this model unused.

Unused Voice Clips

Persona Summoning

Shadow Protagonist Persona Reactions

When the shadow protagonist uses one of the party members' Persona for the first time, the SEES members have their own voice clip reacting to the shadow protagonist summoning their ultimate Persona. Among these though, there's also an alternate voice clip of each SEES member reacting to their regular Persona getting summoned. Since way beyond at this point, everyone has their ultimate Personas already, these never get used. Models don't exist for them as well. Metis also doesn't have one for the unused grey Psyche model.

Sound File	Character	Line
	Aigis	Palladion...
	Yukari	Why is it using Io...!?
	Mitsuru	No... Penthesilea!?
	Junpei	Hey! Nobody copies my Hermes!!
	Akihiko	The hell...? That's Polydeuces!
	Ken	How can he use Nemesis...?

Debug Options

Cutscene Debug Menu

To do: Document more of this. There is a lot of stuff to do in these menus. Add codes for other versions of the game.

A fairly elaborate debug menu remains in this game. You can make your own cutscenes, apply sound effects and BGM, apply graphics to appear during cutscenes, and toggle various settings in this menu. To enable it, apply the code below for your version of the game.

Persona 3 FES USA (SLUS-21621) codes:

Master Code (Only needed for cheat devices used on a console)
90506658 0C14193E
Debug Menu Enable

Master Code (Only needed for cheat devices used on a console)

pnach format, for use with PCSX2 (FES USA):

patch=1,EE,2036E8C4,extended,00000000

The file must be named 94A82AAA.pnach, and placed within PCSX2's user-related cheat directory. This is typically located at C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\PCSX2\cheats.

With the above code active, enter New Game or enter any area with a cutscene. When the cutscene is playing, or in New Game, press R2. This will take you to the debug menu. Pressing Triangle while in this menu will send you to the cutscene editor window. Pressing Circle will exit out of an option.

Unused Music

There is unused music which originates from other Megami Tensei games.

Sound File	Description
	KINPAKU.ADX is The Army of Ultimate Power's Imminent Arrival, from Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army. "Kinpaku" means "tension" in Japanese.
	MAP01.ADX is Tsukudo Cho (Rearrange), from Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. This track sounds remarkably similar to the opening song for Persona 3 FES, which released before Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, meaning that this track was already completed before the game's release.
	MAP02.ADX is A Strange World, from Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army.

!Sound File !Description |-

|

|COMBINE.ADX is an unused bit of audio in the 'BGM' folder of P3F. Interestingly, it's also in the environment sound effects of both FES and the original as EVE_177.ADX. |- |}

Early Cutscene

Unused	Final

Inside the game's SOUND folder is a bizarre, unfinished version of P3CT003.SFD, the cutscene introducing Gekkoukan High School. This version uses storyboards for most of its backgrounds. The file is absent from the original Persona 3 release.

Unused Enemy AI

• During ???'s fight, the AI is supposed to have access to Marakunda, Masukunda, and Matarunda while using Caesar. However, the conditional is inverted: instead of using the moves when the debuffs aren't active, it is instead set to use them when they are active, resulting in the moves never being used.
•  ???'s fight has an unfinished phase in which it will summon Psyche if Metis is brought to the fight, with the internal title "AI_Shadow_hero_METIS". During this phase, it will only use Ziodyne against a random target.

Version Differences

Voice Clips

A single voice line was re-recorded for this version of the game, specifically at the beginning when the Protagonist meets Ikutsuki:

Persona 3	Persona 3 FES
Please forgive the bad pun.	Please forgive the pun.

Oddly enough, the original line is used again in Persona 3 Portable and rerecorded in Persona 3 Reload instead of this revised take.
