Hey, everyone! Sorry for the wait!

Teddie is back for a second appearance on Persona 25th Times! I’m here as an ambassador again with some bear-y exciting news!

Whaaa? Some of you have forgotten me already? Ahem!

I’m a persona user from Persona 4, the fabulous, one-and-only Teddie! Just leave it to me, okay?

So, this is a program that will bring you various news about Persona‘s 25th anniversary across the span of a year… Persona 25th Times!

Episode three features a major offline event, along with info on merch collabs, and more!

Now, let’s start rolling out the big news!

■ Persona 25th FES

I can’t believe it! An event commemorating Persona’s 25th anniversary, “Persona 25th FES” has been confirmed!

Persona 25th FES will be held in Japan’s greatest pop cultural attraction complex, located in Tokorozawa, Saitama… Tokorozawa Sakura Town!

Whoa, now that’s a cool-looking building!

At Persona 25th FES, you can enjoy the world of Persona throughout the entire Sakura Town complex!

The main stage will be at EJ Anime Museum, which will feature exhibitions where you can explore the world of Persona! You can get up close and personal with locations that appear in the Persona series!

And that’s not all! 1/1 scale, life-size statues of Thanatos, Izanagi, and Arsene will be at the venue! This will be the first time Thanatos and Izanagi will be making a public appearance!

Three Personas of main protagonists assembling for the first time… this is gonna be one heck of a sight!

Plus, official merch will be sold at this exhibition! They’re being made as we speak! Oh, I can’t wait!

Now then! Speaking of merch…

At the Da Vinci Store, a book store located near the event venue, original merch with newly-drawn art of the protagonists wearing store staff outfits will be sold in advance! They all look great in aprons!

All of the facilities in the rest of Sakura Town will be all Persona‘d out too! More info coming soon!

Boy, there’s so much to see that you could spend all day there! Oh, even if you get exhausted from having too much fun there, there’s nothing to worry about!

Ta-daa!

You can rest up in EJ Anime Hotel, located inside Sakura Town! And guess what? Original collab rooms will available during the event! The Persona series protagonists will greet you dressed in hotel staff costumes!

Wait, why is Sensei doing all the heavy lifting?!

Take on various missions through a smartphone! It’s all Persona all the time, even at the hotel! I wanna stay there too!
