So is Zorro Megaten's first Californian persona/demon/whatever?

Maryland already has Mothman. Virginia is waiting for the first Megaten that uses its much lamer cryptid, Bunnyman.

So if Johanna is the pope, does that make her arcana Hierophant?

The Priestess is called the Popess in some decks, and Makoto's collar has BJ on it the same way the Priestess card does.

Looking through some other info on the Japanese page that mentions the pope...

-Apparently the first heist takes place in school, which caught Makoto's eye. It also says something about her having awoke to her Persona ability after a certain trouble/worry. And the bike doesn't transform, in case anyone was wondering.
-Futaba is old enough enough to be a first year in high school, but she's been a hikikomori since Middle School. Not sure if that was clear in the earlier translation/summary. Also, she likes to cover her face with weird things around anyone but the MC. Her meeting with the MC involves unusual circumstances that they won't spoil. She's the key that increases the scope of the story. The necronomicon represents her mysterious power.
-Haru is good at communication, but will avoid anyone she doesn't see any value in talking to. She knows a lot of adults who are corrupted on a large scale, and therefore she pushes the story forward. (IE: she knows the corrupt businessmen through family connections, so she can act as an inside man to plan your heists)

i think having a weird meta-universe storyline that only exists in spinoffs is a cool compromise. like with the arena games. anyway i hope they make another dancing game with a super serious story

There's a woman in a suit named Sae Nijima, but it's unclear how she's related to Makoto.

The MC's origin story apparently involves getting arrested for a fight where he was protecting a girl from guys hitting on her, which led to a probation from his school. That's... kind of a lame origin story.

The main characters use a mysterious app called "Otherworld Navi" to infiltrate the Palaces inside people's hearts to steal the Treasure which represents their sins, and reform them.

I mean what do you want the MC to have done, robbed a bank? He's a kind of punk kid but he's still a good guy, that's pretty much always been his deal.

I dunno, "you did the right thing but you also rocked the boat and that's unacceptable" makes sense in the context of the games apparent themes, as an origin story.

It should be more realistic, like when I got in trouble for stealing the pens from the computer lab. To this day they have the pen chained up and it is my most enduring legacy.
