Unused Mementos RequestsA handful of unfinished business.Default Player Name#
In the file name.tbl, which is where the game stores the names for various things in the game, among the party member first and last names is the name "Protagonist Protagonist". The game uses this name for Joker if he doesn't have a name entered, but it can never be seen as there isn't a case where you can see his name before you have to enter it.
Error Text#
Located amongst the thread titles for the phone in camp.pak are the following strings.
Unused? Talk to Jon if you see this
TALK TO JON IF YOU SEE THISThe first one is repeated several times throughout the thread title list, while the all caps one is repeated only once. These strings are probably referring to Jon Riesenbach, an Editor who worked on the English localization for the game.
Early Social Stat Text#
Spread out through unused text files relating to field activities, there's text and actions of early or scrapped social stats: Self-respect, Sex appeal, Quick-wittedness, Guts, Dignity, Perception, Insight, and, oddly, Cleverness. The first five stats are also described in the Unused Skills section.

With the exception of Caroline and Justine and Sae, every Confidant have unused text of Igor telling you that you formed a contract with someone. It was replaced with a grandiose introduction with Lavenza voicing over instead. Strangely, Yusuke's is unique and Mishima's is placed in the story.

Unused Mishima Rank 7 Dialogue#
In Mishima's Confidant rank 7, when you see his shadow in Mementos, you refuse to change his heart and Ryuji makes a comment about it. And it seems the rest of the group would make one as well, but is never used.
[Morgana]
We don't have time to be dealing with his pubescent problems.
If he's really such a big fan, he should know how a true member of the Phantom Thieves would act here.
[Ann]
Mishima-kun is the kind of guy who realizes his own mistakes. This should be enough for today.
[Yusuke]
Indeed, it would be quite cruel to corner him any further.
I expect he will come to realize the true difference between what is right and what is wrong...
[Makoto]
I don't think there's much else I can add here.
Mishima-kun has been with you even longer than I have... so he should know well what you stand for.
[Futaba]
Mishima's kinda like I was. I'm pretty sure he knows he can't keep going like he is now.
He just need to do it one step at a time. He'll be fine.
[Haru]
Yes, fighting is not always the most appropriate answer...
Besides, I'm sure Mishima-kun has already found the truth of the matter within himself.
[Akechi]
A wise decision, [NAME].
He has already realized the error in his ways. Now we must see if he can face the truth of that mistake.Unused Confidants#
Names and descriptions for several unused Confidants. Akemi Gunji is an early name for Tae Takemi and Taichi Nishina is Yuki Mishima. Likewise, Kaoru Hatakeyama is an early name for Munehisa Iwai, although the name Kaoru was used in the final as the name of Iwai's adopted son. Dummy Old Caroline suggests that early in development Justine and Caroline were planned to be separate Confidants.

DummyJustice Confidant Rank 9 Description#
In Shido's Palace, the Justice Confidant ranks up from 8 to 9, and then 9 to 10, in back-to-back story cutscenes. Since you have no opportunity to go to the menu to view the Confidant menu in-between those 2 rank up scenes due to boss battles, the description for Justice rank 9 is normally unviewable in-game.

The World Confidant#
An entire series of dialogue for unlocking and advancing The World Confidant and description for its effect (the ability to freely adjust the stats of Personas of The World arcana) are present, but go unused as The World arcana is obtained right at the end of the game, leaving no way to build the Confidant naturally. Worth noting is that there are no Personas belonging to The World arcana in the final game because of this.

There is an unused deadline game over scene (much like the unique bad endings/game overs for previous Palaces) that presumably would have occurred if you failed to complete the final dungeon in time. This never occurs in the final game because on 12/24, the game forces you into Mementos to complete it instead, and you cannot exit or pass time. Unlike the other deadline game overs, there are no voice clips corresponding to this one.

You mean like shooting a vase off someone's head or a plate out of the air?
What's the point of doing that during a real fight?
SHINYA_EV_mes05 Ann
Well, I don't mean we should put on a show or anything...
But maybe we should learn to shoot with precision instead of just firing at enemies.
SHINYA_EV_mes06 Morgana
Not a bad idea, Lady Ann.
If we improve our marksmanship, we'll stand a better chance at hitting an enemy's vitals...
Or wound enemies in specific ways.
Like immobilizing them, as opposed to just doing damage.
SHINYA_EV_mes07 Yusuke
We could keep them alive to lure out a rescue team.

Well, when you put it that way, Ann might be on to something.
