Bugs and glitches usually have strange, chaotic and undecipherable (i.e.: garbage) visual side effects.
Most probably, it's either some leftover beta code or some teasing done by the Atlus dev team.

it could be a glitch or a joke put in by Atlus seeing how a lot of eyes are shown in the opening intro before the main screen that says "press start"

Like I said, glitches and bugs (unintentional side effects and programming errors) don't produce such non-garbage results, unless the code was already there (meaning they planned to implement it) and the glitch somehow activated it.
So, either way, it's still code intentionally done by the devs. The only question is if they forgot to remove it completely and somehow missed an activation condition or if they wanted to tease us with that.

I'm going for the latter.

Well it could be Aram younger brother

has anyone thought of ''alexandria's genessis'' and the myth with the spirit people race. try looking at yosuke's eyes maybe they turned purple. maybe theres a connection between the spirit ppl race and the personas

Well, I've never gotten the eye, but..

On the first page, someone said that there's cards behind the eye. Has anyone tried maxing out all the social links? Since, whenever you level up a social link, a card appears.. That might do something, but I'm just guessing...

I've played this game over ten times and I haven't gotten a thing. All very interesting theories (aside from Naruto) have been shared. ATLUS...if you love us, give us a hint.

DrJonAngus · 07-08-2010, 10:07 AM

I can feel that strange eye piercing through my soul with its gaze. It's really odd.

2die4 · 07-13-2010, 10:47 PM

its the all seeing EYE

Ichinose Meiko · 07-16-2010, 06:55 PM

I think it's probably just something that we'll never be able to really explain.
Like.. "The Seven Wonders of Persona 4" or something.
So... where's the other six?

It's the Personerus. But don't worry, it's a good virus. It will help to increase your stat gains.

It means that you're being watched by the government. Atlus is doing a better job of being nice to us than we thought. They're telling us that the government is watching us die at the hands of some sort of shadow in persona 4. Thank you, Atlus. I'm making you guys the new president in 2012.

You know, maybe someone should do a NG+ and try entering the TV every single day. I just have a hunch that the eye is triggered by entering a dungeon on one of several specific days.

So I was browsing through stuff on the disc, and I came across this:

Looks like the devs fully expected people to do this sort of thing, but to search for the killer's identity? That doesn't sound right at all.

That gem just looks pretty.
It's really good for nothing.
I've looked into anything it could do.

seedxzero · 06-10-2011, 10:10 AM

What's highly possible is that since the eye only comes up on a second or higher playthrough, and Death only comes up on a second or higher playthrough, that that character's ultimate weapon will be dropped by Death next time you kill it. That would also explain why only one person at a time has it.

Shinohara · 02-07-2012, 08:56 AM

I don't think that's possible. I am on my first playthrough and I got it on Yosuke's status screen. I'm not sure if it was on Jiraiya's screen, but it was there when Jiraiya evolved into Susano-O. It really bugs me when Yosuke levels up and it's staring at me. Just. Staring.

I got it. It's a feature that was pulled out, and it's going to be put back in for Persona 4: The Golden. You need that eye thing in order to evolve your friends' Personas to those new ones that were revealed!

Total bull-crapping this, by the way.

Hey, it's better than no theory at all. Now I'm looking forward to The Golden even more. This mystery needs to be solved!

Actually, it'd be funny if the eye thing appears in The Golden and still doesn't do a bloody thing!

Mystery solved. They used L'oreal
