The Persona 3 profiles have always been a bit weird. The earliest possible feat they scale from is from Makoto comparing to Elizabeth, which at best was almost certainly a late game feat. So compared to the other Persona profiles, where characters are split between early/mid/late/end game keys, there is very little information on the Persona 3 profiles for anything prior to the Elizabeth fight. Now, we can finally change that. In this CRT, I want to suggest why the Mid-Game SEES should get 4-A keys.
In Persona Q2, the characters in Persona 3, 4 and 5 all get together in one story. And in the story of Persona Q2, they are all depicted as being roughly comparable to one another. The story of Persona Q2 features a lot of time travel, with the characters of each game being transported into a separate timeline at different points, but contextually we can still figure out what point in time these characters came from.
For the Persona 3 cast, it is shown that Shinjiro is apart of SEES at the time. This means that SEES could only have been transported into the separate timeline within a very specific, tiny time period (as Shinjiro wasn't apart of SEES for a large part of the game, and he dies shortly afterwards). This section of the game would almost certainly be considered "Mid-Game", given that it is quite literally almost exactly in the middle of the game.
For the Persona 5 cast, it's even more transparent; Akechi is a part of the Phantom Thieves, which means that they must have been transported into the separate timeline of Persona Q2 while in the midst of Sae's palace. This would be considered a late-game section for the Phantom Thieves, as it takes place past the Okumura fight.
So, here's the TL;DR.
The Late-Game Phantom Thieves are already 4-A via scaling to Okumura and his 4-A feat.
Sae's palace is after the Okumura battle but before the Holy Grail fight, so they'd be 4-A during Sae's palace and 4-A during the events of Persona Q2.
SEES enter into Persona Q2 at a Mid-Game Point, when Shinjiro is a part of SEES but not dead yet.
And SEES in Persona Q2 are depicted as being = to the Phantom Thieves.
Therefore, SEES in the Mid-Game would be 4-A.
