The Meta-Nav (Metaverse Navigator) is a mysterious app that appears on the protagonists' phones in Persona 5. It allows them to travel to the Metaverse, a world created from people's distorted perceptions.

To enter a Palace, you need to provide the Meta-Nav with three things: the target person's name, the actual location they associate with their distorted desire, and how they perceive that place. For example: Suguru Kamoshida → Shujin Academy → Castle. If the information is correct, everyone near the user is transported to the Metaverse.

Within the Metaverse, characters assume their Phantom Thieves forms, can summon Personas, and confront Shadows. If a person's distorted perception changes or they lose their distorted desires, their Palace disappears.

The Meta-Nav can also take the group to Mementos, a large dungeon that represents the collective unconscious of society, rather than the mind of a single person.

In Persona 5, a Persona awakens when a person faces an extreme situation of oppression and decides to rebel against the destiny imposed upon them. This awakening takes place within the Metaverse, usually in a Palace.

Upon awakening, the character accepts their true will to fight and hears the voice of their Persona. Then, they forcefully tear a mask from their own face. The mask is fused to their skin, so removing it causes immense pain and makes their face bleed. This act symbolizes abandoning the false identity imposed by society and revealing their true self.

After awakening, the mask becomes part of the character's Phantom Thief costume. Whenever he summons his Persona, he simply removes the mask normally, without feeling any pain. Only the first awakening is extremely painful and represents the birth of his rebellion against corruption and injustice.

When you awaken your Persona, base it on the personality you displayed, such as rebellious, etc., and give it the name of a god or mythological entity that doesn't yet exist in Persona 5.

In the Persona 5 universe, the Metaverse is a dimension created from people's desires and perceptions. Within it, there are two important places: the Palaces and the Mementos.

Palaces are worlds created by the distorted desires of a single person. When someone possesses an extremely corrupted ambition, their heart manifests a Palace, transforming a real place into a version that represents how that person sees the world. Each Palace possesses a Treasure, which symbolizes the origin of this distortion. By stealing it, a Change of Heart occurs, causing the owner to recognize their errors and confess their crimes in the real world.

Mementos is different. Instead of representing a single person, it is the collective Palace of humanity, formed by the desires and thoughts of all society. It is a vast, ever-changing underground labyrinth where Shadows of ordinary people live and where the Phantom Thieves fulfill minor Change of Heart requests. As the story progresses, Mementos reveals its true significance and becomes the setting for the team's final showdown.

• Goro Akechi (Crow) – A famous teenage detective. Charismatic and brilliant, but he hides important secrets that impact the story.

• Kasumi Yoshizawa (Violet) (Persona 5 Royal) – A talented, polite, and optimistic gymnast. Her story becomes one of the main focuses of the additional content for Royal.

In doing so, their targets undergo a Change of Heart and confess their crimes in the real world.

Throughout their journey, the Phantom Thieves confront powerful individuals and uncover a conspiracy that threatens all of society. In the end, they defeat the entity Yaldabaoth, liberate humanity from its influence, and prove that people should be free to choose their own destiny.
