Persona 4 is the fourth installment in the Persona series (part of the larger Megami Tensei series) and the second to be on the PlayStation 2. It was a big hit, especially in western territories, and it was enough to create some side games, including two fighting games. It later got an expanded re-release on the PlayStation Vita as Persona 4 Golden.

Debug Logging
Within the game are two stubbed printf functions which would have logged various background information to a debug unit. This logs information such as files and maps loaded. It would also report errors if any occurred. To re-enable these, apply the below codes.
USA codes: Fix Atlus's printf Function 20440B68 08109132 20440B6C 00000000 Re-enable Debug Error Messages 2043BB48 08109132 2043BB4C 00000000
- Fix Atlus's printf Function calls scePrintf. The function in this game that would print debug messages is useless and doesn't do anything.
- Re-enable Debug Error Messages calls scePrintf to print error messages if any occur. The orignal function is stubbed.
If you are playing the game on a regular PlayStation 2, you will need to use a TOOL, RDB, or a debug version of OPL to view the logs. If you are playing on an emulator, you can see this information by enabling the option "Show Console". Below is an example of what type of information gets logged.

Saki Konishi. This unused portrait is similar to Kanji's unused yukata portrait. It's slightly larger and has a lighter tone.

An unused Flat Teddie portrait.

Regular portrait of Ms. Mayumi Yamano, the first murder victim of the story. Copied for the news image of her, but this unaltered version goes unused.

An unused Shadow Adachi portrait.

Three unused portraits for Kanji, Rise, and Naoto. All of these portraits have each character's normal face, but their Shadow version's clothing (or lack thereof).
Dungeon Cut-In Portraits
The portraits in this section were found among some cut-in graphics for the navigator when exploring dungeons. The larger square ones may have been intended for non-dungeon scenes, though, as is the case with Yukari's in Persona 3.

Two cut-in portraits for Naoto. Naoto's chin in the second portrait appears to be modified to some extent.

A similar set of portraits for Rise. The squished portrait here has some splicing going on, which is most evident on Rise's cheeks.

This third portrait of Rise features a lighter hair tone and lacks a gradient on her skin. It's also vertically squished in comparison to the final portrait.

Placeholder & Test Graphics

A battle-related graphic that says "trash".
![]()
A weather/news-related graphic that says "temporary".

Battle graphics for a generic-looking test party member. In Persona 3 FES, there are mock-up images depicting a generic party member with the same design.

A dummy wall and floor texture respectively. These appear in the dungeon archives for Marukyu Striptease, Void Quest, Heaven, and Yomotsu Hirasaka.
A simple dummy texture.

This test texture translates to "Welcome to the boss room! (Temporary)".
Miscellaneous
A dungeon speech icon for the protagonist. Since he never speaks while exploring dungeons, this image is never seen.
Texture Oddities
These two textures are used for some hologram projections in the Secret Laboratory dungeon. These are actually excerpts from a French Huffington Post article about a Japanese agricultural minister who resigned.
The entire section of text below is used in the second texture. The text in the first texture is bold:
| Le premier gouvernement formé par Abe avait collectionné scandales et faux-pas, et le dirigeant conservateur de 52 ans a procédé à un remaniement, lundi dernier, pour tenter de regagner en popularité après la défaite de la coalition au pouvoir dans les élections du 29 juillet, qui ont donné à l'opposition une majorité à la Chambre haute du parlement. Le ministre, Takehiko Endo, avait avoué samedi que l'organisation qu'il avait dirigée avait illégalement touché 1,15 million de yens (9.900 dollars) de fonds publics sans en informer Abe avant sa nomination. Endo, 68 ans, qui avait rechigné à accepter ce poste marqué par de précédentes défections, a confirmé sa démission lundi lors d'une conférence de presse donnée après un entretien avec Abe, dans sa résidence officielle. Le premier ministre de l'Agriculture d'Abe s'était suicidé à cause d'une autre affaire. Le deuxième avait été limogé en raison d'allégations d'irrégularités dans ses comptes de campagne. UN ÉTAT DE GRÂCE FRAGILE Deux autres ministres du premier... |
The text in the first texture translates to:
| The minister, Takehiko Endo, admitted on Saturday that the organization he directed has illegally obtained 1.15 million yen (9,900 dollars) of public funds without informing Abe before his nomination. Endo, 68 years old, who begrudged his position marked with previous defections, has confirmed his resignation at a press conference after an interview with Abe, in his official residence. The prime minister of the Agriculture of Abe has committed suicide because of another case. |
Persona 3/FES Leftovers
| To do: Sub-page this and add the remaining hundreds of leftovers. |
In addition to the content below, Persona 3's entire battle archive data (totaling over 700MB) was put in Persona 4 as filler data to pad out the disc.

A full size portrait for Yukari Takeba. Comes equipped with an over-saturated blinking frame.

Dungeon speech icons for most of the crew.
An image of Orpheus, the Persona 3 protagonist's main Persona.
Unused Models

A test model made of cubes named DOBJ000. It can be found in data.cvm\FIELD\GRMD.

A simple cylinder model named "base".

A dummy model with bones and joints. Its file name is "editor". This is actually a default biped model for use with the programs CAT (Character Animation Toolkit) and 3ds Max.

An unused white shadow model found within a number of unused dungeon maps. Shadows are normally colored dark purple. These white shadow encounters contain extremely high-level enemies.
Unused Music
Almost the entirety of the Persona 3 FES soundtrack is contained on the disc, well beyond the ones used during the school trip to Tatsumi Port Island. We could put them all up here, but it would just effectively be 90% of Persona 3's soundtrack.
Strangely, this also includes the "Burn My Dread -Reincarnation: Persona 3-" album version of "Deep Breath Deep Breath"...which isn't a leftover from Persona 3 FES.
An early version of "Burn My Dread" labeled THEME.ADX found in Persona 3 also exists in Persona 4. It goes unused in both games.
A song from an unknown game. This also appears in Persona 3 FES.

The Persona used by the true killer in their boss battle, Magatsu-Izanagi, exists in the game data as an unfinished Persona of the Fool Arcana. It has stats similar to those used in its boss battle, but no skills programmed. It also has no description listed in the Compendium. In Persona 4 Golden, he was added as a full-fledged Persona usable by the protagonist, but reclassified under the Hunger Arcana.
There are also 4 blank dummy Persona slots: 02B, 034, 0B4, and 0B5. These (as well as the dummy slots at the end after all the other Personas) appear as Fool Personas with no data, using the portrait of Ongyo-Ki and the 3D model of Slime. They can be used in regular fusion as Fool cards.
Unused Enemies

The Maya enemies from Persona 3 are still in the game and retain their models and animations, but they all have dummy default values and no skills. There are also four additional Basalt enemies that do have actual values programmed in, as well as a monster used for testing rare golden Shadows.

Introduction
This text was intended to be shown after selecting the difficulty before starting the game. For whatever reason, it's not used.
Thank you for purchasing Persona 4.
Before you begin the game, we’d like to
ask you, the player, for a favor.
This game has several mystery-style
factors that involves finding the killer
behind a series of heinous murders.
Even if you yourself have any clues
about the criminal’s identity, please
keep them to yourself.
Your clues or theories may deprive
others of the fun of discovering the
story for themselves. Besides...
The truth you find...
...may not be the real truth.

Rise Battle Text
Rise Kujikawa doesn't actually join the party member as a fighter, but within the code for requests for All-Out Attacks and Follow-Up Attacks, Rise has messages as well. However, they aren't actual lines, but instead developer messages informing testers that these should be impossible to see.
All-Out Attack:
You should never see this line! If you're reading this, someone screwed up! This isn't supposed to exist in the game!
Follow-Up Attack:
Dummy line! This shouldn't happen! Report this line if you see it, tester!
Unused Dreams
Apparently, at one point, dreams were meant to randomly boost Persona's stats instead of boosting Social Link status.
You had a dream about fighting...Your Persona's Strength increased by 1. You had a dream mystical dream...Your Persona's Magic increased by 1. You had a dream about hardship...Your Persona's Endurance increased by 1. You had a dream about being chased...Your Persona's Agility increased by 1. You had a dream about fate...Your Persona's Luck increased by 1.
Shuffle Time Arcana Failures
Some of the Arcana card effects during Shuffle Time can fail, such as the Magician not being able to change skills. However, there are such messages for all the Major Arcana cards, even the ones that can't fail. The ones that can't fail have these developer lines, some of which are quite humorous:
I pity The Fool when this message appears, because it's a bug. Get cracking, QA, and write it up. This is a bug. The Priestess has failed. Please write this bug up, O noble QA tester. The Empress has failed. This is a bug. The Emperor should not fail. This is a bug. The Hierophant should not have a failure state. This is a bug.

This is a bug. The Moon is made of green cheese and cannot fail. This is a bug. The Sun has gone out! This is a bug. There has been an error in Judgement.
Social Link Descriptions
In the final game, only two Social Links can be Reversed (Naoto's and Ai's) and only one can be Broken (Ai's). However, there are strings for the Social Link status screen for every S-Link in a Reversed and Broken state. Some imply that the girlfriend mechanics from Persona 3 had not been removed until later in game development, while others are messages stating that those messages shouldn't be seen.
This SLink should never reverse. If you see this, it's a bug. This SLink should never break. If you see this, it's a bug. Nanako's social link. Reverse. If this is showing, it's a bug.
