>school setting in JapanSigh. This is honestly getting pathetic at this point. Most of the people playing this will be in their mid 30s pushing 40.
>>740524774You're supposed to grow up and stop playing video games retard
>>740524978the average gaymer is a 37 year old male.
>pursue romanceDoes dating 16-year-olds make me a pedo?I'm 35
>>740525348This is problematic as fuck.
>>740525348Legal in 90%+ of the world. Not everywhere is America.
>>740524774Tough shit, asshole. Cry more.
>>740525750Age of consent is 16 in most states so I know of the bat that this map is bullshit.
>>740524774You were supposed to have kids anon.They would be old enough already to relate to this.It is not Fatlus fault you failed to breed.
>>740525750True in the majority of America as well.
>>740525348I'm in my 30's and while I don't approach women below 25, I'd date at 18 year old who came to me.
>>740524774It should be escapism and not self insert. They have announced shitloads of games with old and ugly MCs already.
>>740524978tell that to niggerball fags
>>740524774>>740524978same thing with anime. how do you not grow out of stupid high school bullshittery when you're pushing 40
>>740526515I don't know. Aren't you also supposed to not want to have another man shove his dick into your ass ass? Yet here you are.
>Not wanting to romance high school girlsGet fucked normalfags
>>740526816Fuck off Epstein lover.
>>740527226Where do you think you are?
>>740524774>school setting in JapanYeah, that's the target demographic>Most of the people playing this will be in their mid 30s pushing 40They should stop
>>740527941>Yeah, that's the target demographicLOL are you fucking serious? Persona 5 sold like 10 million copies. You think it was a bunch of Japanese high schoolers buying the game? No it was pudgy white guys in their late 20s with yellow fever retard.
>>740527226You will go extinct.
>>740524978>You're supposed to grow up and stop listening to music>You're supposed to grow up and stop watching movies>You're supposed to grow up and stop reading books>You're supposed to grow up and stop having fun>Purpose of adulthood is to be dead inside and feel nothing
>>740527226He was right
>>740524774It’s the only game like it. Should atlas pivot to making first person sci-fi shooters or roguelike deck builders instead?
>>74052497837 is still young fuckhead
>>740524774>sighkys
>>740528468Its Atlus. They make games for the Japanese market and just happen to release it in the west for extra money. They're not going to change to cater to the western market. And its not their fault so many westerners are weirdos.
>>740525348No only at subhuman weimerica it's illegal
>>740524774so its not horror and shit afterall??????
>>740527226Epstein-san is my sensei at life
>>740529054No one said any of that. Video games are childish though and youre arguing like a child.
>>740524774If you don't like the core setting of the series, don't play the series, idiot. If you think the formula is "stale", you don't have to play it, you complete and utter retard.For the record, they did branch out and use a lot of the same gameplay ideas in a completely different setting, they just called it Metaphor instead of Persona.
>>740524774I never got this obsession about franchises needing to “grow up” with the audience. Do you want Persona 30 years from now to take place in a retirement home?
>>740524774>>740524978I just turned 40, and looking back I advise the opposite.When you are in your 20s, you shouldn't waste your youth on vidya. Go out and explore the world, party with your friends while they are still alive, work on being a better you.Don't spend the part of your life when you are at your physical best in front of a computer screen. Get into a fist fight, kill a stranger IRL and get away scott free. Have sex, fall in love, start a family.I was fortunate enough to retire at 38. I never need to work a job for the rest of my life. I have a wife, we have children, I own my home. THAT is when you can afford to waste your time on video games.
>>740524978>You're supposed to grow up and stop playing video
>>740533717So many parents failed their kids letting them sit in front of a computer all day their entire youth. They have no right whatsoever to complain about their broken adult children at that point, they literally did nothing to help them get ready for life.
>>740533189This is all bullshit, I did try to do other shit when I was young but I got rejected every time.That's why I started playing video games, because I had no friends or life.
That's how Japan views aging.13-19 are your sort of “hero” years. Where you can be the main character out on adventures, having youthful flings, and figuring out who you’re going to be. Once you’re an actual adult in your 20s you’re meant to be established in a profession and starting to act as a senior, sharing experience with the incoming new class of adults. Once you hit 30 all the exploration and character development is behind you as you’ve long since settled into where you’ll be in your career for the majority of it. Your story is over. Except for a couple of later promotions you’ve done what you’re going to do. You’re a background, supporting character now.
>>740530826Movies are childish though and you're arguing like a child.
>>740534186Those same parents did nothing but work and sit in front of a TV
>>740525348it makes you based
High school is just a setting that allows you to have a bunch of characters with wildly different personalities and interests that would realistically never talk to each other, hang out, or even cross paths be in one place, interact with each other, and become friends or rivals or whatever.It's just window dressing for the character dynamics.
>>740524774>>740525053Crazy how Fatlus can make good games then add a bunch of gay faggot shit to it to pad it out
>>740524774>>740525053I was hoping it would do more of the occult stuff like the PS1 games.
>>740524774Woke shit is over, people are just not listening to you anymore, specially Japan.>NOOO THE NEXT PERSONA SHOULD HAVE OLDER CHARACTERS AND LADY GAGA MUSIC!!!!Literally a post on neogaf, you're done.
>>740535480>nooooo the game should focus on shitty highschool drama and groomingyou could have grooming children in the game without it needing to take place in a generic highschool setting for people like you
>>740534318Which is the opposite of a western view.
I played Persona 3 and 4 when they were new and I will still in high school. I don't think I have it in me to play P6 in my 30s.
>>740524978And what else am I supposed to do instead, huh?
>>740524774Think of all of the new possibilities with Hackshino gone.
>Persona: Creepypasta EditionHOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT THIS?
>>740536136I definitely didn't like P5 as much as I did the others because I was much older when it came out. It'll probably be the same with P6 unfortunately
>>740536079>I am thou, thou art I...
>>740531541Exactly. I have no idea why some people want the series to be so radically different and change the setting to universities. Same with the people who want Fem MC.
>>740524774>I want to play as a soulless corporate drone slaving for my Jewish masters instead of having fun with my friends while we're in the prime of our youthWeird but okay.
>>740536560>so radically different>changing from going to school to going to schoolAre you retarded?
I dont know about you lads but japs have the most kino urban legends and spookyshitSo Im excited
Nooo, I'm so mad that Atlus is forcing me to date cute high school girls in a video game again. The game should take place in an office and let me date 40 year old trannies instead.
>>740536784University is nothing like highschool, retard. Especially so in Japan.
>>740536560Because it's always been dumb because of it. It's old fucks writing what they think being young and in high school is like.
I have 0 faith in Wada directing a good Persona game.
>>740524774>modern japanshop keeper will be an indian
>>740536560They want it to become as stale as western AAA shit, that's it, what they want is to change Japan, not change this game. They think nooo le sexualizing minors and shit. They start with that, and when they get what they want they move on to not sexualize fictional characters at all, which has always been their objective. They don't have to give these retards a single inch.
>>740535794>for people like youFor all the 10 million people who play the game and not the woke retards like you who bitch on twitter but never buy anything.For the record I think Persona is a glorified VN bloated piece of shit that should be at least 50 hours shorter but at least they're doing their own shit and not adapting to retards like you who want a bunch of brown lesbians and plots about le patriarchy and le racism.
>>740534318Nobody cares about being a teen, the issue is people FUCKING HATE SCHOOL LIFE
>>740536974A college setting would not change anything.
The target audience IS in high school.
>>740537401Western Skill Issue
>yfw the parties Persona are the result of failed posessions
>>740524774>city setting is allegedly Yokohomabros...what if the school is actually St. Hermelin and we're returning to a modern Mikago-cho? Or even Sumaru city
>>740537019should have gotten the guy who did P5R. The third semester was kino despite being built on top of Hashino's story
>>740537609To western teens, fucking around outside school is teenhood. Nips are such fucking slave people jesus fuck.
>Goth kids wonwtf I thought this was gonna be a spy game, not a MCR parade.
>>740536732Nikka your early 20s is your bio prime of youth
>>740524774Kill yourself normgroid.>>740524978Ditto
>>740537764Evil spirits will diddly dongle their souls and after getting ghostbusted the after effects leaves their soul to manifest into a physical form
>>740537585This.I dont get it why people are crying that it’s not in college AGAIN mind you.Persona games were never for older people but the high school kids just because you were the target audience back then it doesn’t mean you are it today
>Headless figure and statue >fingers pointing>"Who are you" text>But beneath the surface of familiar streets and quiet neighborhoods lies something darker: strange rumors, unsettling urban legends, and occult incidents that only you and your closest allies can face.The theme is identity with mystery elements. Thoughts?
>>740536932>University is nothing like highschool, retard. Especially so in Japan.Like you experience anything remotely similar to real school in these games.The school setting is just a VN with a daily snippet of some social bullshit; it could take place in a nursing home and nothing would change.>>740537220>the woke retards like you who bitch on twitter but never buy anything.I don't buy modern persona titles because they're products for mentally stunted moutbreathers like yourself. Try playing any of the other SMT games that actually explore different settings and themes instead of the same generic experience repeated ad nauseam for fatlus fan's permanently stuck in the time when their life wasn't totally shit from their own choices.
>>740538006Its not a spy game nor a goth game retard. Its gonna be about art school kids. Leaks further imply it with all the paint.
The description sounds like every other Persona game. This is not revealing anything or gives any context.
>>740537401Then play the other 99% of JRPGs that aren't in school settings?
i dont understand why weebs and japan culture is obsessed with kids and the lives of kids all the media is about kidsjapan is like the israel of asia. the real-life epstein island
>>740538264the same way P5 was about carpentry when the leak showed some chairs
>>740538127>Persona games were never for older peopleThe average age of video game players is 36-38, and the result of a survey relating to Persona in japan was that most fans were in their mid to late 20s.
>>740524774Blame the grim nature of japanese adult life. In general people there think highschool was the best time of their life so thats why you keep seeing highschool themed dogshit. In the western world it usually is college instead of highschool.
>>740538130Its obviously gonna be the same old persona shit but the dungeons and shadows and shit will all be riffs on urban legendsSo expect kuchisakeonnaHasshakusamaNingenThe thunderbirdHanako-sanMary-sanAnd if this is a modern Japan then probably something inspired by Exit 8
>>740538264>Its gonna be about art school kidsYeah like I said, goth kids.
>>740538535in the western world people grow up and move on from their adolescence
>>740537585Kids in high schools don't play games other than phone shit and gambling bro.
God i hope they make the battle soundtracks like 3 again.I liked 4 and 5 but the rap parts of 3 were just slapping i listened to it so much during fights
>>740538574>the mascot is going to be a tsuchinokoKINOOOOOOOO
>>740538535western college is new HSreal studdying happens only on master
>>740526515What else am I supposed to watch, it's all trash.
>>740538682>Kids in high schools don't play games other than phone shit and gambling bro.Anon, I...
>>740524774Just play a different game
>>740538647true, that's why grown men watch sports to live vicariously through people who actually achieved their highschool goals
>>740538532>Mid to late 20‘sThats still College age so high school still fits in.I know it sounds crazy but there are still high schoolers who play lots of games and atlus wants that audience.
>>740524774Japan is fundamentally a culture where one's individual freedom is at its peak in high school. As soon as you hit adulthood, you become a salaryman and work tirelessly until the day you die, or you become a hikikomori NEET with no potential or future outside of funding companies.
>>740526816handicapped pedophile.you will hang.
>>740524774thanks chat
>>740538685Same. Mass Destruction will always be my fav. But I do hope for Persona 6 they choose another cool aesthetic for the songs. Maybe punk rock?
>>740524774Life after high school is nothing but soul crushing misery in Japan and they don’t wanna be reminded of it.
>>740525348your a pdf file
>>740538647Thats because life doesnt suck as bad here as an adult compared to Japan so people tend not cling to the past as much as the japs do.If you told ne my adult life was going to be working 10-12h every day with unpaid overhours I too would look back on the life when stuff was sinplier.
>Why does Sesame Street still act like everyone who watches it is a toddler? The franchise is 65 years old, it should have grown up with its audience.Same kind of people who get mad at fanservice of high-school girls in shonen manga because they don't realize its target audience is horny 14 year olds.
>>740526816Holy based. Teen pussy is back on the menu!
>fuck off epstein lover
>>740535295Yeah the trailer, logo, and spooktacular green had me thinking it'd focus on paranormal activity/found footage type of shit.You know Ghost Hunters was still going until last year when WB killed it off in order to use it as yet another tax writeoff?
>>740538949Could fit in well if it‘s occult
shut down 4chan and let us shartyBVLLs take overeveryone in this shitty imageboard are pedophiles
>>740538963kek
>>740524774>Trailer made it look like some occult paranormal detective Death Note type shit, borderline horror even>Nope just the same old high school settingMy disappointment is immesurable.
The level of creativity between P5 and P6 will be night and day. P6 already sounds overdone with its occult shit, I actually can't believe this is the best they thought of in the end. The game's theme itself already looks to be identical to P3. This new director stuff already doesn't look promising, fighting urban legends is so stupid.
>>740524774 >complaining about the school settingNone of us bought Soul Hackers 2
>>740538995If only it was possible to envision a digital world where this wasn't the case.Sadly we need to keep videogames to real life only; like highschoolers with magical monsters we can summon to do battle.>>740539308Because it fucking sucked.
>>740539225>shut down 4chan and let us shartyBVLLs take over>everyone in this shitty imageboard are pedophiles

>>740539234Um excuse me, but I look like this when I say that
>>740538449The most popular genre is action/adventure.

>>740539807There was this one guy in my high school -- real intelligent guy, he was a computer club member -- he did some mumbo jumbo with the school computers which somehow let him control all the students in the class we were having besides me and the teacher. Guy then made everyone murder these two students, the teacher got killed too when she tried to stop them, freakiest shit I've ever seen.
>>740524774So is it 100% confirmed to take place in modern Japan? I really wanted it to be set in 1990's France or New York. Leaning more towards France. I say 1990's, because the the state of these two places is quite different now.
just like my le jujutsu kaisen
>>740539627>>740539616Imagine getting this triggered by people finding 16 year olds sexy
>>740540185Why the hell would you want this to be set in a different country?
>>740537585Which is weird because the entire series actively avoids the kids/teens/manchildren consoles, the Switch 1/2.
>>740524774>school setting literally a staple of persona
>>740524774You lost, trannyGet raped and gapedWe are going to have sex with lovely and cute hebe girls and you while you seethe forever

So...where did all the "Persona 6 will have female/dual gender options for the MC!"fags go...?
Why do some fans want Persona to not be Persona? The Japanese school setting is a must.
>>740540329To change the setting up a bit. I mean it has to be a little monotonous to play in Tokyo Japan in every game. I think the French architecture would blend nicely with the mythos or lore of the Persona series.
>>740540707The leaks destroyed them.
>>740540586>Satan>the villain of any Atlus game
>>740540740But it isn't. Only P5 takes place in Shibuya. P4's rural aesthetic is iconic and P3's Tatsumi Port Island gives off a totally different vibe to Shibuya.
>>740540586>>740540145I hope we get a menhera this time around
>>740524774Give the MC a hot little sister please (Futaba didn't quite scratch the same itch). Make her a party member too.
>The twist is they are all dead and need to learn to move onCringekino soon
>>740540525This is a guy posting on twitter. Is he reliable...?
>>740524774>shocked Persona 6 is a high school settingThat's literally the whole point of Persona. A Japanese themed coming-of-age series about enjoying your youth with friends while you can before adulthood truly kicks in.Japan is a literal 'peaking in highschool' country. The best time is to live in your highschool days there becuase work culture there is suicidal and devastating. There is a reason why they have terms for working to death and even suicide forests. It is one huge reason why their birthrates are so low and their own population is bad, to the point of extinction in a century from now.
>>740540941It's taken from the Xbox store page so it's legithttps://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/persona-6/9n6h2wjrzf39
>>740524774I don't know why Atlus keeps emphasizing P6 is a great starting point for newcomers. Persona has always been like that for numbered titles. They must have gone over budget and need a huge launch to make up for it,
>>740524774This is why Japan invented Isekai. Just kill yourself and become a high school chad in another world.
>>740540285Ohnonono 4cucks what is ts?....
>rumors being a major element Hacktlus back to recycling ideas from the Persona games nobody played.
>>740524774Wagecucks can't change the world. That's why it needs the school setting.
Keep seething shartytroon
>>740530541>They're not going to change to cater to the western market.My sweet naive child.
>>740541053Ah I see. I guess that does confirm it.
>>740540989Japan's logic is like>Our society is so oppressive people only have a four year window to enjoy life. You're expected to wageslave from ages 20-70 so high school is your only time of independence. >Should we change our work culture away from 60 hour weeks and give people more of a work life balance? >Nah screw that. Let's just romanticize high school forever!
has Persona surpassed SMT in popularity yet?
>Persona is the series set in high school>SMT is the series not in high school>People don't play SMT
>>740536560I wanted it to be in a university because I work in one. And with Fem MC I could have self-inserted into her love interest that is also working there.
>>740524774>school setting in JapanWhere else would it be? It's a game series about cartoon Japanese teenagers, not fat and ugly real life white/black Americans.
>>740540989>>740541445It's not that bad, there have been major reforms to work culture in the past twenty years. You're overthinking this, it's just that a lot of young adults enjoy Persona historically.
>>740524774mid 40s anon

>>740538006MCR isn’t goth
>>740529054That's actually the life of an average Japanese man.
>>740540807Thats still ultimately Japan, but I guess its cool. I just thought a different setting entirely would be a bit of a nice change of pace.
>>740524774>BOLD NEW STORY>You are a jap twink in high school>With romances!>Its about LE DEPRESSION or similarRetards that play transona are subhuman
>>740541814it doesnt come across if you play in english but reading/hearing the dialect / culture differences in each game helps a lot as well, i recommend any persona or smt fan to just learn the language and play the games in jp. they arent hard to understand apart from vocab and theyre so much more complete in terms of their literary wholeness, some stuff is impossible to translate

>>740524774Japanese are genuinely retarded and out of touch. A whole nation of spiritual boomers. They're chasing after the mythical teenage audience that doesn't exist when 90% of their players are going to be dudes in their 30s and 40s. Almost every story they write has a high school setting. That's the high point of their creativity. Even when the story is not set in the modern times or even our world, they still find a way to integrate a school setting into the story.
The worst part of the school setting is when you're doing them fucking quizzes at school
>>740541994Just like real life
>>740524774Female MC this time?
>>740542096>implying implications
>>740542068???That's literally one of the most fun things in the entire franchise bro. I love the classes so much. I've learnt so much fun trivia. And the fact you need to remember it for the real exams you take later on? So fucking cool
>>740541094>Persona has always been like that for numbered titlesTrue but all the spinoff side game garbage blends P3-P5 together so maybe it might confuse potential new players.
>>740542027Japan is a pop culture ouroboros. They only consume media about high school so that's all they make. It doesn't help if you pitch a story about a woman older than 22 they laugh you out of the building.
>>740542096No, why? Why do people think Atlus will do Fem MC again considering how much fucking work it would take? Reload was the best chance since half the work was already done but they still didn't do it.

>>740541979Fair enough. I just finished reading that it is rumored to take place in Yokohama. I implore you to watch this video just to get an understanding of where I am coming from: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fmeUt3JDmVk&pp=ygUNRnJhbmNlIDE5OTAncw%3D%3DIt would be a pretty nice setting.
How would you react if they somehow, somehow created a mascot character more annoying than Morgana...?

>>740542562>Josei for adult men
How does it look in Japan for a 40-60 year old to be following all this shit including all the other anime, is it accepted or looked down upon?
>>740524774>in JapanHuh, no kidding.
>>740543037>Persona devs clearly doIs this bait? Persona is a spin-off of SMT but that doesn't mean any of the main franchise titles have the same amount of traction.
>>740543426>It's like Persona without the heart
>>740530826The most childish thing is trying really hard to be an adult.Being an adult just comes naturally to adults.I'm not putting in effort to have a job, I just have a job. I have a job because I'm an adult.My knees click because I'm an adult.I like mowing my lawn.Mowers broken though...Now I gotta fix it because I'm an adult.I do my best thinking on the ride-on.
>>740524774>"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEXT PERSONA WILL BE ADULTS, IN COLLEGE, AMERICAN, MMO, FIRST PERSON SHOOTER, ACTION GAME, TOBY FOX!!!!!!!!!!!"You dropped this. Hopefully the rest of you chuds that keep asking for this do this same.
>>740542562>Josei for adult menwtf japan?!?
>>740536560It is always because they want guilt free horniness. They want to be unabashedly horny for Persona characters without the moral judging from society. Change Rise's age to 19/20 and her education level to university and you'd be getting A LOT more open horniness about her
>>740543568damn orangutans are crazy smart, hes learned how to retrohale just by observaion, i cant believe its not agitating him enough to want to sneeze

>>740543814So the people that want Persona to stay in high school yearn for guilty horniness?
>>740543814Joseph Anderson thirsting over all the girls in Persona 4 made me respect him forever, don't care what you guys say. Most of his audience were horrified, but he genuinely didn't give a fuck.
>>740524978One of the most nonsensical things is to be a normie-enforcer on 4chan.
>>740543963soiteens do not exist, soijakkers are 30-40 year olds nostalgic for ye good olde days of 4chinz. And I will rape them, every last one of them, they deserve to be raped into the darkness of history where they belong.

>>740544247You sound like a fucking Soijaker, you need to get raped too...
>>740544403>his horrible takes on the witcher 1 and 2, how anyone could misunderstand such basic stories is beyond meQRD?
Almost every single "erm this should've taken place in college" complaint is rooted in insecurity and shame of people who felt attracted to the characters.There isn't a single anime or game where making the characters college age changes it in a meaningful way. It's just people insecure about liking something that's meant for kids or teenagers, or gooners who want to goon shamelessly
>>740544395Won't they just cannibalize each other? These are extremely long games. I play through one and I'm good for years. P4R should have been 2026 and P6 should be 2028.

>>740544532hes one of "those" people that thinks the entire witcher story is an extended metaphor for cosmic rebirth or some other such nonsense when in reality its just a slightly above average fantasy novel series adapted into two good games and one terrible one. he also doesnt understand that many characters in the witcher are capable of *gasp* lying for their own personal gains in the story, such as triss in w1 withholding "that" from geralt and also the big twist in w2, he thinks the "lies" are plot holes. let that sink inby the way that cosmos theory only exists because of some asoiaf youtuber and someone on reddit retrofit the dumb theory to apply to the witcher too even though it makes no fucking sense because its a theory made for another book series entirelytldr hes an illiterate hack who probably does all his """research""" on reddit
>>740544579>Won't they just cannibalize each other?7 months apart and one game being a remake while the other is a mainline entry is more than enough space for each game anon.Atlus already did the same thing in 2024 with P3R coming out in February and Metaphor coming out in October the same year.
>>740544676>UN is mentioned>So the people fighting demons in space while wearing magitech armour don't count.It's hilarious you're still clinging onto this bad example when even I could name an actual science fiction JRPG.>>740544951I watched both videos and at no point is some "cosmic rebirth" mentioned. I don't know what you're talking about. As to Triss, he doesn't point out that her lying is a plot hole, but that the Triss in Witcher 1 is essentially Yennefer in personality and behaviour, which is true.
>>740545170>I watched both videos and at no point is some "cosmic rebirth" mentioned>Triss in Witcher 1 is essentially Yennefer in personality and behaviour
>>740535295The page literally mentions occult mysteries? What else do you want?
looks great
We will be 50 years old when Persona 7 comes out.
>>740545170>in space>magitech armourOh. You never played Strange Journey.
>>740544543Honestly I'm tired of the strict rigidity of schedules that come along with the highschool setting and would rather a more open schedule that has conditions like "must take classes X times per week" but still leaves you with almost all of your timeslots open.
>>740545438Sounds great, I can share it with my children, if I'm still interested in the series that is.
>>740539149Did you even look at the description on the page? It pretty much outright states that the game is about paranormal investigation. >>740539284Death Note is about highschoolers lol
I hope they make hot girls to date. Not just cakes, make the highschoolers good too. But I fear that may not come to pass.
>>740525750It's legal in 90% of America too, thirdie
>>740545456I mean it's not that rigid, you have two slots per day, one after school and one evening. Weekends and other non-plot holidays that aren't taken up by a story or character event are also two slots. This keeps the pacing brisk and moreish, I always go "Ah, I'll just play ONE more day" and then I end up playing for another in-game week.

>>740545754Turn off your trip brother, this is a /v/ thread
>>740542241Part of me honestly don't blame FeMC fags for wanting it, but it feels 99% of them treat it as if it's any other game with a Female/Male option: that the dialogue will basically be the same. When afaik, P3P changed a good number of scenes to account for playing as a female protag, instead of a male one. It was only easy to do it on there since it's basically just a point and click VN
I seriously don't get why westerners prefer adult settingsyou were supposed to have become yourself by adulthood, where is the room for growth
>>740526515>oh look man. im mature because i don't like young stuff!!>please, dad i mean devs. make your game comfortable for my mature eyes!!!congratulations, champion. you digievolved from child to manchild
>>740546027C.S. Lewis was a true Christian in both spirit and temperament.
>>740536403Hyped for spooky occult shit. Dunno if they’ll follow through on it hard though. If 5 was a superhero game maybe 6 can lean into some monster hunting DMC type shit.
>>740545996>where is the room for growththat's the big clue, bruva. they won't want to grow. it's that simplemaybe they started believing themselves to be perfect... which may explain all that moralfagging they do
>>740524774Nah, Persona's core audience consists of teenagers.

>>740524774Based. Western secondaries on suicide watch.
>>740524774Video games are for kids.Kids are still in school. Persona is pretty much a shounen jump series, so doubly so.Would be cool to see them do something that is less school, and more wage-slave job related for a theme.You wake up. You do your morning routine. You go to work. You keep up affairs in the office. You pick up food on the way home. You hang out with someone? You fight monsters in the subways of Hiroshima. You go home. You feed the cat. You go to sleep. Repeat until weekend. Hope you don't get forced to pull overtime.Orrrr you don't do any of these things, and the fail condition is you get fired/consumed by rent demons at the end of the month.
>>740546640This mad because a Tripfag of all things dunked on him. Seek Christ.
Who would reasonably show up/Cameo from other Persona games?
>>740546772Can you be forced to work overtime in Japan? That's crazy. Last time I was asked to do OT I said no because they fucked me over in my last position with an several hours worth of pay mysteriously going missing. In retaliation for the lack of investigation on this matter, I played the "burn out" card which is a big deal here in Holland.

>>740524774You can just go play E33 instead
>>740545393>>Triss in Witcher 1 is essentially Yennefer in personality and behaviourAnd what does it have to do with any "cosmic rebirth" notion? He outright speculates whether they haven't done that due to not wanting/being able to use the character herself. He even points out she's mentioned exactly ONCE by other characters, even though they should be asking Geralt about her from the get-go.
>>740547031its not "forced" but in general everyone is expected to stay in the office until the manager leaves.
>>740547247That would be a weekly event.It would get old pretty fast.
Why do people always argue about the “high school” setting in Persona like it’s some huge deal because of “muh Japan culture”. Sure you can extrapolate that the series setting was made with that in mind but the reason they keep doing the same high school setting is because that’s what always has worked for Persona. There’s no reason to change it because it works and sells as is. There’s no underlying cultural reason apart from how the series started and big changes to a game that still sells well wouldn’t make sense monetarily
>>740524774P3r had lgbt stuff sneaked into itP5r had blacks pushed into it (npcs) and a tranny bar tenderMetaphor censored a female characters ass and pushed a lefty storyVengeance had a twink mcP6 is going to have blacks in Japan as part of the main team with more agenda pushing

Why do so many retards here like a high school dating sim full of cringe anime tropes? Even as a teenager I thought that shit was gay as fuck and lame and I know that most of you are middle aged retards soi facing over this slop.
>>740524774Persona's biggest audience isn't even SMTfags at this point, just every flavor of weeb who wishes their life was a reverse-isekai into Japanese teenhood. SEGA's simply milking them the same way Sonic milks autistic children.
>>740547321Academia is pretty much the only way to justify why these characters that would realistically never interact with each other are hanging out.

>>740524774Fun Fact: You can't think of many games set in a western school setting that isn't a porn game
Is it true Persona is more popular in the west than Japan? I swear I’ve heard that before but never saw any definitive proof
>>740538963Also a good choice, for me it's

>>740548105Japan doesn't play normal single player games anymore
>>740548105Most things are. Japan only cares about Korean gachas now. I'm not even joking, and I fucking hate gooks.
>>740547793They were losers in high school.
>>740548105English speaking society is very much full of people who either peaked in high school or didn't have a good social life during it. Persona, Harry Potter, and teen sitcoms and dramas are very popular with people for these reason.
I am so glad that every retard begging for it to be about American college students or whatever is disappointed.
>>740547793Simple, they are really aroused at the idea of romancing teenage girls
>>740548105Of course it is. P5 sales lean overwhelmingly to the West. Japan doesn't even buy PlayStation consoles anymore and when P5 finally came out on Switch 6 years late the sales in Japan were mid. You can google all of this.>02./00. [NSW] Persona 5 Royal <RPG> (Atlus) {2022.10.21} (¥6.980) – 57.676 / NEW57k is fucking nothing. Only PS2 otaku care about this franchise in Japan.
>>740548105japan has abandoned PCs decades ago and most people's last console was a PS3/Wii. The gaming market abandoned japan and japan abandoned them in turn. More people in japan care about puzzle and dragon than final fantasy.
>>740524774What's the problem? Should be relatable to anyone who's been through school.
>>740537019Is Wada definitely directing it? It's a natural assumption but I didn't see anything about them coming out and saying it.
>>740547031You can be forced to work OT in the US.t. someone who works 1,000+ hours in just overtime a year, ontop of no normal 40hour weeks.I don't know much about Japan labor laws, other than a history of similar crazy hours and a work culture that keeps you out of home 16+ hours a day (commute, office doesn't quit until the boss quits, mandatory drinking with the supervisor after work, 'Karoshi' symptoms, etc.)There's also crazier stuff, like how certain companies won't outright fire you in Japan. They want you to resign. And to force that resignation, they will put you in a department office by yourself, having you do some mind-numbing menial thing completely unrelated to your field of expertise, if not outright nothing. Where you can't even interact with other teams, like you're the Japanese Milton from Office Space.I think they're waking up to realize how detrimental this stuff is, if you want people to have families and to invest in the economy outside of work. But no reason not to play these things up in a video game, or other piece of media.
>>740548789>They want you to resign. And to force that resignation, they will put you in a department office by yourself, having you do some mind-numbing menial thing completely unrelated to your field of expertise, if not outright nothing.funny how people in the west are totally immune to these shaming tactics at work
>>740548726Every game and story needs to be about me and where I am at in my current point in life though've
>>740524774Age of consent is 14 or 16 depending on where you live and teenage girls don't mind older men if they're not fat/bald and treat them well. Ask me how I know.
>>740548597Hashino has never even see a woman. His fantasy of what they might be like appealed to men across the world, and even some deranged women. This kind of wish fulfilment is in extreme demand, and only the highest level autists can provide it. Normalfags only set out to recreate their limited reality. A visionary sperg has no limitations whatsoever. If something feels right, they'll do it.
>set the game in america>every day there's a random chance your school gets shot up
>>740548105P5 was the fastest selling game in the franchise but it reached a certain level of popularity where it gained traction outside of Japan to where Japan couldn’t be the majority of sales anymore The Switch is also bigger than PlayStation in Japan nowadays which has an impact on what’s bigger there
>>740548708Thanks for the sales numbers. So basically the west complains about it not catering to the west when it’s the west who buys the series the most? Kek. No wonder they will never change the setting, the formula is proven. They would be retarded to change it and risk backlash
>>740548105Notice how nobody gave you any proof
>>740549018Well, how DO you know?I am very interested.
>>740547793There's no such thing as "anime tropes", anime is not its own distinct thing.
