- Rise tells us that she doesn't know anything useful, then joins the team. I like how the investigative team social link has increased twice in a single really long cutscene and the cutscene's not even close to being over. Based on how she acts, I get the feeling she's gonna be our 'default' love interest like Aigis and Makoto, right?

Rise is the best character! She's the most open about her feelings for the protagonist, if that's what you're asking.

- Rise is supposed to be a first-year? So she's supposed to be fourteen?

16, I think. Golden has a scene around here where she notes that her birthday has passed so she's old enough to get a bike license (you get a bike/scooter in Golden). She's older than Kanji, who can't because he's 15. High School in Japan has 3 years, if that's throwing you off. Makoto was a third-year and 18, IIRC.

This is unrelated to P4, but could people summon their personas outside of Tartarus in P3? I remember Chidori once being attacked by hers in the hospital, and I was really hazy on the difference between Tartarus and the real world, whereas in P4 and P5 there's a really clear distinction between the Persona realm and the real world.

Chidori does, yes. IIRC we discussed this in P3 and I thought Fuuka implied she did or otherwise had limited scanning ability outside the Dark Hour but couldn't point to when and you didn't recall it so who knows.

Re: Tartarus/Dark Hour and the Real World. IIRC, it's stated that the Kirijo Group experiment to cause The Fall 10 years ago by Mitsuru's Grandfather (and the one that Yukari's dad stopped at the cost of creating the Full Moon Shadows and the casualties of the event) led to the creation of the Dark Hour.

It's a bit hazy (or maybe just my memory is) because the accounts of that event change as time goes on. IIRC, the Kirijo Group was initially working on time travel via harnessing shadows (somehow don't ask) but Mitsuru's Grandfather became obsessed with The Fall like Ikutsuki and changed goals to that. Mitsuru's dad has been doing clean-up ever since. I guess if there was originally a time manipulation component involved in the experiment that's the explanation for the Dark Hour being a literal extra hour. Tartarus is located on the site of the old Kirijo lab where the experiment took place so there's that connection. That would mean Kirijo had access to shadows before Dark Hour/Tartarus though if I have all that right.

Maybe the Arena games clean some of this up/explain more? I can't help there though.
