For Persona, the collaboration goes further than anything before: MAPPA&#8217;s previous involvement was limited to the opening movie and select scenes in Persona 5 Royal. Here they own the full animated presentation. An animation director on the project studied all four mainline Persona titles before beginning work, and <a href=\"https:\/\/animecorner.me\/studio-mappa-to-animate-all-persona-4-revival-in-game-cutscenes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anime Corner reports<\/a> that the AX preview showed protagonist Yu Narukami in a confrontation with a Hablerie shadow as his Persona awakens for the first time \u2014 rendered in full MAPPA fidelity.<\/p>\n<p>For Singapore fans who grew up on Persona 4 Golden, the implication is significant.
