Persona 6: How a Temperance Persona User Could Work

Since the very first game in the series, the Persona franchise has established a connection between its playable characters and the Major Arcana of the classic tarot deck. The Major Arcana are used to classify characters, demons, and Personas, grouping the many mythological and historical figures into categories that often inform their stats and in-battle abilities. Characters typically have personality traits and personal struggles associated with their Arcana. Persona 6 will likely continue this trend, but one thing fans are hoping to see is a wielder of the Temperance Arcana. The Temperance Arcana has never been used by a playable character, and Persona 6 could be the first title in the series to do so.

Although most of the 22 Major Arcana, plus several variant Arcana from other decks, have been associated with playable characters throughout the series, Persona 3 established a standard of the same few Arcana being used repeatedly each game. For example, Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5 all had a protagonist represented by the Fool Arcana, accompanied by party members who wielded the Magician, Emperor, Priestess, and Lovers Arcana. In addition, the Empress, Chariot, and Justice Arcana were each playable in two out of the three games. Some fans hope that Persona 6 will not follow this formula and instead introduce some new or infrequently used Arcana to the team of playable protagonists.
