    Sometimes when you attack a monster by using a spell they are weak against, the MC says the Persona name, and gets a close up of his eyes. Is this completely random, or is there any way to trigger this every time? I like when he does that.

    Yeah I think it's random. I like it better in Persona 3 though because the MC is voiced by the same guy who plays Yosuke, which makes it way more awesome.

    I think it only happens when you get a crit. or hit a weakness but even then it's still random.

    Pretty sure he doesn't do it for most persona, just some of the more important ones.

    Well, in P4, Johnny Yong Bosch voiced the MC and Tohru Adachi. How's that for foreshadowing, huh?

    Actually, he'll do it for all of them. He has a line recorded for each one. If you rip the audio from the game you can listen to each one.

    The name call out is random; the eye shot is when you hit a weakness.  And yeah every single persona is named

    No, it's random. I don't even think a spell that an enemy was weak to could crit.

    I don't have any sources (any longer), but this is what I remember from playing Persona 4 and watching the Endurance Run.
