Unused Stage

There is a stage based on Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth's ending credits, where Zen and Rei walk as scenes from the game (either Persona 3 or Persona 4's side) scroll by. This was meant to be downloadable content for both here and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight, but the content was released as a video file with a separate audio track instead, thus leaving the stage and the models unused. The stage itself is still functional via modding, although it's "longer" than most songs so it's not possible to see everything in it, but trying to load Zen and Rei crashes the game.

Unused Model

Unused HD models of Zen and Rei, from Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth from the unused stage mentioned above. They are missing their walking animations.

Unseen Texture

Futaba's door in her room has textures for the front side but they can never been seen in-game.

Unused Graphics

A simple debug font found in the game's executable, commonly found in other recent Atlus games using the same engine.

A secondary debug font found in the executable, also found in recent Atlus titles using the same engine.

Persona 5 Leftovers
