I don't know if you know much about the Tarot, but there's a very good reason the main characters are always the Fool. I don't know if I can really explain it properly, but the major arcana represent the stages of a journey. It's kinda like the monomyth idea (I think I've tried explaining that here before, so I won't repeat myself). The Fool is the beginning of that journey. It's actually a pretty big factor to consider when reading a Tarot spread. But I don't really feel like giving a lesson in reading Tarot, so I'll leave it at that (if you want to learn more, you have the internet at your fingertips and I'm sure by now you all know how to use it).
Excuse me, have you seen my mind? I seem to have misplaced it...

I know that. Firstly, Igor explains in both games how "The Fool" represents the number 0 which is empty yet full of possibilities.

Secondly, Persona 3 actually goes over what you said. If you recall the teacher that talks about Izanagi and Izanami during that school trip to Gekkokan High in P4, that same teacher goes over the concept of the Tarot Cards.

education + entertainment?

Anyways, I kinda like the teacher but those two lectures were pretty much all he was good for.

I didn't understand you question... and I know its not related to Persona but it is related to video games... and I'm not going to open a new topic to make a simple question.

Don't need to get your panties in a bunch over it...

yeah, I think after I typed "forum" I was in the midst of deciding whether I should change it to "topic" while I wrote the rest. So I typed topic by accident.

So... U saying my topic is dead? XD

Actually, I tried starting my own little Persona battling forum at fanfiction.

Of course, that kind of thing needs people to play it, something I didn't really have. And to be honest, I didn't really care, I just wanted to make it for the sake of making it XD

Any chance someone hear would wanna give it a try?

Hmm... depends... what do we have to do?

If owning the game is one of the requirements... I'm out from the start... XD

Not really... basically there are a number of "arcanas" and you pick one. You can collect all the persona of that arcana but at the beginning you start with the weakest.

Battle, and lvl up ur persona so it can learn new skills.

As you get stronger, you will find more persona of your Arcana and thus you will be able to use multiple persona at a time.

You can battle other players, but there will also be Boss Persona every so often and then there are the 6 Judges which are like Bosses but you can fight them any time you want. They are, however, potentially the strongest persona users in the game, and you would probably have to be lvl 60 just to beat the first one.
