Overview
The Velvet Room is a special room where those who are "worthy" can enter. In here, the player can summon demons by gathering the right number of tarot cards, or fuse personae to form new ones, while filling your persona compendium in the process. Igor is the attendant of the Velvet Room, his primary job helping the player gain access to more demons, and create their own "World." In the first Persona games, the main characters were approached by a mysterious being named Philemon, allowing them access to the Velvet Room. Whereas in Persona 3, the main character and Aigis were greeted by a blue butterfly, while the protagonist of Persona 4 got his power via handshake from the mysterious gas attendant.
" Aria of the Soul" (lit. Poem for Everyone's Souls) is the Velvet Room's theme song. It is a central track heard throughout the Persona series.
In the Velvet Room's first appearances, its Persona-summoning mechanics work somewhat differently -- Igor requires an appropriate number of tarot cards of the desired Persona's arcana in order to summon it. Those cards can be obtained by negotiating with demons in battle.
In Persona 3 and Persona 3 FES, the Velvet Room takes the form of an elevator which can be accessed from Tartarus and Paulownia Mall. Igor is accompanied by his assistant Elizabeth. Like its predecessors, Persona 3 allows the player to summon multiple personae at his command. The player can fuse personae to form new ones with higher levels. Additionally, personas get stronger with the power of Social Links.
The main character was greeted by a mysterious being named Pharos and urged him to sign a contract, which granted access to the Velvet Room. During the end of the game, the main character visits the Velvet Room for one last time. With the help of Igor, he was able to create "The Universe" Arcana, stemmed from the many bonds the main character has formed during his school days. He uses this new found power to defeat Nyx once and for all, ending the reign of the Dark Hour and Tartarus. In exchange, the main character sacrificed his life in the process.
In Persona 3 FES, an additional chapter called "The Answer" explains why the main character died during the final battle against Nyx. Aigis is the protagonist in this chapter, and she obtains the power of the Wild Card when a blue butterfly pays her a visit. But unlike the main character, she has no access to Social Links, and the Persona Compendium entirely absent. Aigis and the other SEES members find out that the main character sacrificed his soul to become the Great Seal himself, acting as a wall holding back Nyx, which prevents humanity from calling out to her. Aigis uses the power of the Wild Card to defeat Erebus, who tries to break the seal.
In Persona 4, the Velvet Room takes form of a limousine. The Velvet Room can be accessed from the Midnight Channel and the south side of the Central Shopping District. This time, Igor is assisted by Elizabeth's sister, Margaret. The game uses the same fusing/compendium system from Persona 3, in addition to fusion forecasts. The protagonist gains access to the Velvet Room not by meeting with Philemon or a blue butterfly, but from a handshake from the mysterious gas attendant upon arriving in Inaba. During the end of the game, the player can choose to finish Persona 4 with the true ending. In this ending, the Investigation Team finds out that the goddess Izanami is responsible for the fog in Inaba, as well as the creation of the Midnight Channel in the first place. Here, it is revealed that the gas attendant is actually Izanami in disguise, and she was the one who granted him his 'mysterious power,' or the Wild Card ability. During the final showdown, the protagonist creates his own World Arcana, and uses his power to defeat Izanami-no-Okami once and for all.
Home to Igor, a mysterious character from the Persona games. He helps those who have been granted access to the Velvet Room build their power and fuse personas.
