Before the red butterfly and the rumors of Sumaru City, there was the SEBEC Incident. A group of students from St. Hermelin High faced a distorted reality where thoughts became monsters. While Persona 1 introduced us to the Velvet Room and the struggle against one's own Shadow, Persona 2 takes those stakes and makes them global.
THE CONNECTION: This isn't just a sequel; it's a culmination. Familiar faces from the first game (like Nanjo and Eriko) return as seasoned adults, acting as mentors to a new generation caught in a much darker web.
In Innocent Sin, rumors are literally becoming reality. If enough people believe a lie, the world rewrites itself to make it true. This leads into Eternal Punishment, a "Mirror World" where the consequences of the first game's choices create a hauntingly familiar yet painfully different mystery.
