Each of the games, from Persona to Metaphor: ReFantazio, created and directed by Katsura Hashino can be linked to one of the major arcana from modern tarot sets. In fact, starting from 13. Death, and going upwards, the cards can be linked to the themes of his games in chronological order.

When developing games, Hashino first decides the theme he wants to represent. For Persona 3 it's "death", Persona 4 is "harmony" or Temperance, Catherine's two heroines represent The Devil and The Tower, Persona 5 is about "hope" or The Star, and finally Metaphor: ReFantazio represents "anxiety" The Moon, "heroism" The Sun and judgement.
