I am personally hoping for a deeper focus on Japanese culture and the way they see the occult.
Please God tell me they dropped the cringe school shitPut the cast in college
I am hoping for more high schoolers to date
>>740543714why are normies so obsessed with getting them out of high school?high school is the best time in your life
>>740543561here's your occultic person 6
>>740544023So incredibly based?
>>740543561Hopefully they will do different Yokai themed stories/dungeons....also hoping for No western pandering, I could not stomach Metaphor
>>740543561>I am personally hoping for a deeper focus on Japanese cultureNot gonna happen, Pershitna is ironic weeaboo faggots' most beloved series. The devs censored all the icky gross Japaneseness out of the demakes and there will be only surface level Japanese culture like the architecture at best, since anything else triggers westoids far too much.Enjoy your soulless husk characters with no personalities and tranny homo pandering.
>>740544072maybe relocation
>>740543926They will say that they want a more "mature" experience but is totally BS, is because there's something they think is problematic in the persona franchise and making the characters adults would fix that They never put in perspective that college in Japan is totally different than college in the rest of the world
>>740543714post metaphor clear
>>740543714fpbp
>>740544072>No western panderingLol P5 was pure pander to western weebaboo faggots and with Metaphor they pandered to the woketardsP6 is dead on arrival
>>740543926Not really for themThey're most proud of debt and easy sex while getting their goy degree in college
>>740543561Try Kowloon: Highschool Chronicle.
>>740543714>WAHHH I DON'T WANT SCHOOL I WANT GROWNUP SCHOOL INSTEADyou're such a nigger. you're worse than faggots like >>740543926. give me persona with adults that has nothing to do with school at all.
>>740543714
The obsession with persona in college really shows why we never got a "Persona like" game that isn't made by the Japanese turn out popular in the gaming world, it would just be the most boring ideas ever matched into some pretentious plot just to make it look like a super mature game
>>740544585>Persona but wagies instead please!!yeah man sounds REALLY epic
>>740544745its literally just porn addicted moralfags who want to ethically jerk off to the girls
>>740543561they announced it so now what? we wait anouther eight years?
>>740543926Because it's been 5+1 persona games and I'm getting fucking tired of thatEven mainline SMT breached out twice with SMT4 and SJ, give us some variety man
>>740543714 Make MC be a teacher and all the social links students and addressing their issues. Never mind that’s just Blue Archive
>>740544585If I wanted to see manchildren with mental issues I can just go check Twitter.
>>740544982Why would they branch out when it's what sells in the first place? Persona IS the branch out compared to the rest of the franchise.
>>740544857>MORE OF THE SAME PLEASE!!!! I LOVE PLAYING THE SAME GAME EVERY TIME!!!!!!you don't even play these games, you just watch playthroughs. kill yourself.
>>740545064>Make MC be a teacher and all the social links students and addressing their issuesped*phelia simulator?
>>740545318of course I watch playthroughswho the fuck has time to play this slop for like 5000 hours vro?
>>740543561It should tackle modern themes like japan being controlled by evangelicals
>>740545303No, it's the dating sim bullshit that sells it. You don't need a high school setting for that
If you want to play a different game you can always play something that isn't Persona, you know that right
>people excited for this beta test when the actual game will come out 3-5 yrs later after
>>740543561>The likelihood of them keeping the spooky tone is nearly nonexistentFUCKKKKK its gonna be more p5 kindergarten cop shit isn't it
>>740544126Very orientalist perspective. What is Japaneseness anyway? And why do you resist Japanese peoples' prerogative to change their culture how they see fit?
>>740544126This is what happens when you become a politically obsessed nigger. delete /pol/
>>740545663I wanna play a Persona game without being spoiled to hell on the characters and story I’ll just suck it up
so were the leaks fake?
>>740545663I play these games a dozen times each minimum so that's a non-issue.
>>740545764As far as I'm still aware, Hashino's team is not working on this, so who knows. I'll stay optimistic until I see otherwise. I'd love a spoopy Persona where the team are effectively exorcists.
>>740545785>why do you resist Japanese peoples' prerogative to change their culture how they see fit?Because it isn't "how they see fit", it's done to please westerners.>>740545815This is what happens when you become a mindless consoomer retard blind to reality.You would shovel literal shit into your mouth so long as someone labelled "Persona" on it beforehand
>>740545858just avoid those threads and you should be fine. I want to play deltarune once it releases and I still know nothing about it.
>>740545341Yeah Persona 5 already does that so what’s the problem Also>censoring pedophilia Go back
>>740546021Actually leaning into the Occult intruding on the daily lives of highschool students would be genuinely cool
>>740545913Leaks were confirmed pretty much all legit outside of that one AI image. Same logo.
>>740543561I'm fine with it being in highschool if they actually make the school feel a part of the game instead of "press start to fast forward"
>>740543561I'm sorry but the teaser looked bad
>>740546109Aoomers are so raped some of them would even censor the word sexualized.
How many more years are we going to suffer newfags pretending they know better than the japanese? If EU anons can't get on board with anime tropes and japanese culture than they can fuck off or get over it and learn to better themselves.
>>740546084>it's done to please westernersExcept you are a westerner too. Why should your preference for this nebulous Japaneseness be privileged over anyone else's? Have you ever stopped to consider Weird Japan was itself a marketing ploy to attract western consumers?
>>740543714>college Thats the same fucking shit in a different color >>740543926>high school is the best time in your lifeSaid no one ever. Did your parent send you to the coalmines after it ? >>740544585>give me persona with adultsThis guy gets it >>740545379>>740545298Mc fucking kill yourselves you zoomer fucks
>>740545858>doesn't want to be spoiledThen it's the same with any media. It's on you to go out of your way to avoid conversation
Well the japanese say the high school setting is fine, so the matter is settled.
Okay so you're gonna fight your principal who is secretly a witch and then you'll uncover that she was working under the archmage of tokyo which you'll eventually fight after taking out a few lieutenants and then you'll undercover that the archmage was working under an international megacorp after taking them down you'll end up in an astral plane and take out the otherworldly evil that was using the megacorp to impose its evil will within the human world. The tragedy will be once you enter the astral plane you can return to the human world and you'll be trapped there forever but you have to do it to save humanity.
>>740546645Westerners always want thing but not thing, I don't get it.
>>740546679It's sad how you actually thought that was a gotcha when I'm not here doing the normalfaggot>GAAAWD I dont' want them to be schoolkids that's so icky yuck!lmfao>have you ever considered [retardation]Ah yeah, fanservice, outspoken aversion to faggotry from characters, etc. was all just some Japanese ploy to appease westerners that even decades ago were prudish and PC brainrotted autists.You do realize how retarded you sound saying this, yes?
>>740546889>>740546910It's always the same thing of>wouldn't these stupid japs know how much better thing x would be if they did it the way I want them to It's like they never considered the reality of the Japanese having considered it, found it lacking and not being a worthwhile idea for them to pursue. LMAO
>>740543561Who do you think will be the director? I feel this will be made by Atsushi Watanabe>>740543714Why do you react this? The whole point is to appeal to their fans but also grab new fans in Japan, that's being their tactic since their inceptionIt's why every game is standalone and every Persona and mainline SMT has protagonist with high schooler age, think of it liketthe same logic behind Dragon Quest
>>740547046Yeah, I'm shocked the Japanese didn't want the next Persona game to be about blown out office whores with 75 exes and middle aged men trying to still fit in with teenagers by using dated slang, of course, covered completely head to toe and respecting pronouns and whatnot.
>>740547357Way too funny and based for modern Japs to even think of doing.
People who think the problem is that it takes place in high school and not that the school setting is just terribly implemented are on crack. Putting them in college would NOT get you what you want.
>>740543561I wonder who the CANON romance will be in P6
>>740543561P5 and metaphor have taught me that the calander system is 100% useless and will be in P6. What’s the fucking point of managing the Calander and New game + if you can just finish it all first time round? Shits baby mode
>green main colorSomeone posted here a few years back how they were following a pattern with that, seems it was about right.
just admit y'all are PDFs that want to date high schoolersPersona in college would literally fix every single problem with the game and make it more acceptable overall.
>>740547612The teaser was a graveyard and the green circle has splatters like paint/blood. Someone else in another thread already said it's probably going to be exploring the occult and maybe the major japanese religions.
>childless 38 year olds (or older) decrying the fact that a game for children has kids as the playable characters and main castDoes it get any more pathetic than this?
>>740547773we're on a website for wizard otaku. But yeah it is funny to laugh at the newfags and tourists having a meltdown about a longstanding japanese franchise not regressing to appeal to the normalfag audience.
>>740543561That's the vibe I got from the teaser too, I'm surprised we've never had a social link revolved around an occult club before considering how popular that trope is and it would make sense since the first Persona literally starts with the cast following an urban mythI'm a bit scared of how this game will turn out with the pressure of SEGA, western "fans" and the massive influx of new japanese fans, it makes me scared they might take it safe But at the same Dandandan is popular and that deals with the occult so they'll probably fine, plus Atlus has a mostly great track record even when it's new directors so it'll probably all right >>740547223Daiki Itoh or Atsushi Watanabe are the likeliest, both new to directing new games but been on the company for a long time
>>740547910The wizards aren't the ones crying about the schoolkid cast, though? It's specifically the childless normalfaggot tourists who want it to be super duper srs bsns adulting xD cancer
>>740543561I can't wait for another riveting 'those shitty adults!' story.
>>740548039>But yeah it is funny to laugh at the newfags and tourists having a meltdown about a longstanding japanese franchise not regressing to appeal to the normalfag audience.That's what I said.
>>740545663They learned their lesson with Metaphor and won't be pulling that trick again for a while.
>>740548128Yeah I'll believe it when I see it bud
>>740548104>>740548039oh no, never mind. I'm retarded. Go men, go men.
>>740543561it's the jrpg franchise made for actual low iq people that double pay a game in less than 3 years, so no, never
>>740547925>I'm a bit scared of how this game will turn out with the pressure of SEGA, western "fans" and the massive influx of new japanese fans, it makes me scared they might take it safeThe leaks and the blurb show that Atlus is going to take it safe, but it's the right choice.They're not doing a FeMC. They're not setting the game elsewhere. They aren't ditching the High School setting.
>>740547925>>740543561Would be a perfect opportunity to bring back the Lovecraft personas from the first two games would be neat
>>740547046It's really funny seeing them squirming trying to justify their shitty ideas. If it was such a good idea why not make their own games instead of forcing it where it doesn't belong.
I just want the game to be more maturely written. Aka not for literal babies like p5
Weren't retards crying because you can fuck the cake in P5 I think? Do they not realize it literally doesn't matter because they are only just fictional characters that have no bearing on reality? And even then you could flirt with the cake in P3 as well IIRC. Where do these people come from?
>>740548232By taking it safe I mean just aping Persona 5 as much as possible, of course they aren't going to ditch the high school setting that'd be retardedBut at least the first thing being shown being a graveyard gives me hope that I have nothing to worry about, occult settings are kino
>>740545303>Why would they branch out when it's what sells in the first place?i don't buy persona for the high school bullshit i buy it for the occult bullshitif you gave me a cast of burger flippers and they were getting up to occult bullshit after work i would still buyif you give me high school bullshit with no occultism i would not buysimple as
>>740546710Nah college was different much more people were locked in. This was right after 2008 and there was an age variance though, including plenty of part timer, especially during my first 2 years being in community college. Junior and Senior years everyone was already locked in too.I never experienced glorified baby sitting college so I can't comment on that. I just remember much more liberal arts and arts programs being developed when I was finishing up.You can have fun as an adult and post-high school was much better than high school once I realized I could make serious life decisions myself, especially moving to other areas rather than staying in a metro. Oh and not having a useless degree.
>>740548332lmao that's not going to happenit's going to be just as bad if not worse
>>740545064You're welcome!
Persona 6 protag leaked
>>740548467Just play Spirit Hunter NG (please)
>>740548363>Where do these people come from?Tumblr before the porn ban, these people love projecting a lot due to lack of human interaction
>>740548332Same, it would be pretty refreshing. Persona 5 was the most juvenile feeling game in the series yet in terms of writing and characters.
>>740548104Yes, I just wanted to clarify that since I know I could have been more explicit.
>>740548518i'll consider it, but only because you said please
>>740548332they will double down on retardation, don't even bother they already rewrote the story 2 times at least just like 5
>>740548518I will also consider it. But you have to naked dogeza if I decide I don't like it.
>make it more acceptableWhy would I want anything to be "more acceptable" by retarded niggercattle? The filter stays on.
>>740543561Persona always changes head writer between each entry right?
>>740543561It’s gonna be YouTubers/Livestreamers that chase after occult stuff and get in over their heads The overarching themes will probably be things like living life in real life as opposed to living through an online community, surveillance, sacrificing your safety and health for attention, etc
>>740548571>>740548626Ehehehhehehe my evil plan is working...
>>740543926For normal people it isn't but it's also just fucking boring after three games with basically the same character archetypes and events and stories. It's boring.
>>740548363Normalfaggots desperately want their horniness to be seen as socially acceptable. That's why their first and foremost complaint, besides muh sexualization, is that the girls are 17.99 years old.A lot of them are even so hung up on this performative moralfaggotry they genuinely believe that teenage characters you found attractive as a teenager that you can't find attractive the very instant you become an adult. Turned 18? Sorry, can't find your favorite JK hot anymore sweaty :/ It's just mental illness.
>>740548467In other words the set dressing doesn't matter and thus doesn't need to be changed
I just hope they find a way to instill a sense of some level of tension in the game. Like in the last 3rd of P3 there was at least some sense of tension with people getting killed off and the idea that there is a risk of life doing persona shenanigans. It stepped down in P4. And the in 5 it was just goofy superhero time. Very lame.
>>740543561looks like tge DC shoes logo
>>740543561>No release window>vague description>teaserThis is BG&E2, CP2077, DN Forever situation isn't it?
>>740548849There was a pop-up book shop outside the place I went for lunch and it felt like I had stepped into a Chatgpt prompt. Literally the entire shop was "young woman falls in love while doing X". My point about bringing this up is normies are retarded because femgooners do everything they hate an order of magnitude more and they just let it slide
>>740548732Yeah but each game is usually written by a writer that was at least involved with prior gameFor example 4 was written by the guy that did the social links in 3 and 5 was written by the guy that wrote 4 Dance All Night
>>740549108>5 was written by the guy that wrote 4 Dance All NightAh. So that's why it was like that
>>740548281>Nyarlathotep returns and is the overarching villain>The surprise villain at the end is actually Yog Sothoth or the real Azathoth
>>740548849>teenage characters you found attractive as a teenager that you can't find attractive the very instant you become an adult. Turned 18? Sorry, can't find your favorite JK hot anymore sweaty :/It’s very important that men believe this because the current AoC doesn’t hold up very well under scrutiny. If two 17 year olds go to prom are they both pedophiles lol?
>>740549049That's bormalfags and w*men unironically have said countless times that "it's different" when w*men and fags do it (be horny, especially in their media)Without cognitive dissonance and extremely bitter, mistaken indignance driving their behavior they would actually be forced to have some self awareness
>>740547537She won't exist until Persona 6: The Same Game Again But With One More Character
>>740543561What's with the luigis mansion vibe? any chance this is something ghostly or are these teasers so different than whats released? persona 5 looked I guess somewhat similar.
>>740549108So 6 will most likely be written by one of the writers for the Persona 5 spin-offs then
>>740549203>That's bormalfagsThat's because normalfags*kek deleted my shit from highlight text incorrectly
>>740543714>oh noo I can't play a game with teenage romance>it gives me the ickFuck off normiefaggot
>>740549031They learned their lesson from Persona 5's initial announcement of a release date and all the pushing back it had to have. The lesson of that experience was that you shouldn't attach a date until you know for sure that you'll be putting it out at that time.
>>740549378I honestly thought you were jusy portmanteuing "boring" and "normalfaggot" (based)
>>740545764it's Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei all over again.
>>740543926they feel embarrassed about jerking off to them
>>740549197I remember seeing moralfags saying shit like>if you and your girlfriend/wife are both drunk and have sex you raped each otherIt's very bizarre.>>740549451Fuck it, let's go with that
>>740549530Shootout to my health teacher for telling it like it is.>In Ohio, after a night of drunken sex, the rapist is whoever calls the police second.
>>740549108They got the Persona 3 writer to head the first Devil Survivor and Metaphor but yeah I guess it's likelier that a new secondary writer heads 6's story while he head writers of the previous 3 games help
>>740543561I hope a female companion is a tomboy who aspires to be a Joshi wrestler
>>740547925Every single Persona game revolves around an urban myth.
>>740549994And this game? The myth of the female orgasim
>>740548513Do I have to play the other games first though
Please God make one of the party members be a twintailed kusogaki for the sole reason to cause a load of assrage from the secondary audience.
>>740543561I want it to delve deeper into urban legends and occult stuff like the Spirit Hunter series
>>740546910There is no modern Japaneseness unmediated by American influence. Aversion to faggotry or whatever is very much an example of US markets putting their thumb on the scale. Japan didn't magically appear in the 90's to ex-nihilo spawn otaku culture. Your claim to Japanese culture is just as arbitrary as anyone else's. Nevermind that until recently most Japanese people would be scandalised by the notion that your idea of their culture represents them at all.
>>740550259Trails games have great world building and story. It's probably recommended, but I'm not the anon you asked.
>>740550283>implying modern™ Atlus would ever do that
>>740549031most likely won't see a release date till the game awards (where it's guaranteed to show up based on 'leaks')
>>740549914lolYou could pick any random teenage boy off the street and I guarantee he could kick her ass.
>>740549994Yeah but they don't center on the cast investigating or confronting the occult, with 3 you're part of an organization fighting the tower and the rogue users, 4 is a murder mystery and 5 is about phantom thiefs exploring people's hearts6 could be focused more on actual occultism culture in Japan which feels like a natural fit with how much said concept connects to social media and high school>in 4 a party member is a 2chan user
>>740550283If the leaks are correct, and they were for the game's logo, the characters look like awful girlboss in pants slop.
>>740550471Honestly I'm surprised that the first Soul Hackers is really the only Megaten game to delve with modern urban myths
>>740549031Since it wasn't in the post reel for the xbox show it seems like a last minute addition, probably their way of saying "Yes, the leaks were real, yes persona 6 is coming, now please shut the fuck up."
>>740548523This. Mentally ill fujos raving about the franchise they supposedly love.
>>740550458it takes a lot of athleticism and endurance to be a pro wrestler
>>740543926It's literally just because they want to engage with the romance system and call the girls hot without getting cancelled over a video game kek
>>740550707it also takes a lot of muscle because other people are going to be looking to overpower you and instantly convert your 'athleticism and endurance' into nothingfor some reason you've decided to leave that part out
Fuck debating whether or not Persona 6 will be good, I just want it to have some sauce. Persona 5 and 4 had their sauce, Persona 3 its an ehh but its still there.
>>740550471>party member is a 2chan userThere's no way Futaba wasn't a 2/4chan regular. Now that I think about it the only person I've seen use an obvious and unambiguous direct 2chan equivalent in vidya is Makoto from Danganronpa which is really funny to me.
>>740550358>more dismissive faggotryYeah yeah, whatever you say pseudbro. Anyone with functioning eyes can see examples, like the original version of something like P3 and then P3R where they censored that one joke at the expense of faggots. I'm sure that was a very organic change with zero influence from the west, which is why you're now moving to this "J-Japan was always beholden to the west" cope, despite it being demonstrably false in their media up until the last couple decades (especially the last several years) when the Japanese version and English/international versions were completely different, but are now the same sanitized dogshit.Someone might as well post that pic about leftists pretending not to understand arguments/reality, it'd be quite fitting here
>>740550472One is the typical snooty rich girl and the other is a emo girl, tf did you get Girl boss from that
>>740549398Romance isn’t the problem. It’s the social and financial independence, maturity, and free time the characters show that you don’t have in high school. The cast in every game acts like adults except they have to go to school, or more accurately like what retarded teenagers think adults would act like. I realize that’s on purpose because the games are just nip wish fulfillment because the adulthood they actually have is so miserable. Setting any of the games in college would make the story and social links make much more sense. I know it will never happen but still.
>>740549914Isn't there some Japanese woman on an American Wrestling circuit whose thing is being a cute idol, but in reality she's not as cute as the girls back in Japan?
>>740549031No, the person who leaked all of the now confirmed images said the game's internal release date is September 2027. It could get delayed but I can't see it being later than early 2028. It's obviously only a teaser because P4R is the game they're currently marketing and they don't want to take too much focus away from that. We'll likely get a full trailer either at TGA or next year's Xbox Showcase with a full release date. Remember, you retards were also saying P4R was still ages away because of last year's teaser.
>>740550937Kurisu from Steins;Gate was an actual 2ch shitposter, if you count visual novels as vidya
>>740551169Maki Itoh?
>>740543561>>740547925>Occult personaAm I a retard that doesn't know what occult means? I keep hearing people say they hope persona goes for occult when I always thought smt in general was already inherently occult. Are persona tards actually this normalfagged to smt?
>>740551386She cute.
>>740551137>college would make the story and social links make much more sense.No because college children don't know fuck from their elbow no matter how much their elders entertain the delusion otherwise. The high school setting is perfectly fine, and most importantly the Japanese are on board with it so the issue has been decided by a more important authority on the matter. Rendering the argument m00t.
>>740543561The western style of ghosthunting is realling American, isn't it? Exploring abandoned buildings with night vision on? Is there a meaningful Jap community of urban explorers hunting ghosts on Youtube?
When my ass discovered Persona 20 something years ago the only thing I thought was "oh it's a game with SMT demons!?" meanwhile the average nufaggot is like "erm what's with le setting? can you date/not date X?"
What's the appeal of Purse Owner? Is talking to fictional high schoolers really that fun?
>>740551094I'm not denying that at all nigger im saying you and those woke faggots are 2 sides of the same retarded coin. I don't respect either camps' bromides on what Japan ought to be.
>>740551449Every Megaten is inherently occult, they mean that Persona 6 will be more focused on what's get attached to occult culture of which the only Megaten game that's like that is the first Soul HackersThink of how Dandadan or Urban Myth Dissolution Center approach occult culture basically
>>740543926College*FTFY
>>740543561You've had endless amounts of games from Atlus about how the japanese see the occult. Every game is made from the ground up with a focus on the occult.What you actually want is bigfoot and alien footage in a videogame, not the occult.You want blatant magic circle rituals with blood sacrifices, not subtle and sly tricks that make human beings perform rituals every day.
>>740552289Not OP but what I want is demon summoners and necromany being tied to conspiracies so basically Soul Hackers in highschool and not sci-fi with more Lovecraft demons like the first two persona games and urban myths like Soul Hackers
>>740551791The appeal of purse owner is it's an SMT spinoff and both games are radically different from the average fantasy JRPG. Faggots like you who immediately jump to "talking to highschoolers" are just self-reporting.
>>740552424Persona is intrinsically about *inner* demons and therefore psychology and philosophical approaches to the occult: I.E. mental rituals and manipulation.What you want is stuff like SMT and Raidou.
>>740552289>What you actually want is bigfoot and alien footage in a videogame, not the occult.Why would I expect a very American take on "the occult" to be handled with any success by a bunch of middle-aged Japanese men?
So right now likeliest staff>Director: Daiki Ito (5 Royal, co-director of 4 Golden)>Lead writer: Akira Akemine (Q2, 3 Portable social links, 5 NPCs)>Composer: Shoji Meguro>Cutscenes: CloverWorks >Production probably started in 2022 and it'll release in either late 2027 or late 2028
>>740552631Do you want an actual answer, or are you just looking for opportunities to posture and act childishly dismissive because that's your definition of maturity?
>>740551853>muh ebin centrist retardbabbleI'm fatigued over this pseud faggotry that is likely leftroons just trying to come off as centrist. How the fuck, in any universe, is "Japan needs to not have any western faggotry looming over it to influence how they make their media" just as bad as blatant idpol retardation? The only reason I can find for anyone saying this is to excuse the much worse latter by dishonestly assigning the former with the same egregiousness.Good job bitching out with this retarded platitude, I guess.
>>740552594Nah SMT is focused on the protagonist being dropped into a post-apocalypse and Raidou is more structured like a Trigger anime in terms of storyI don't know what would be another good way to tie necromancy into a Persona setting? My immediate thought is with rumors like 2 but I highly doubt they'll do something like that
>>740552594You can have Persona still be about muh psychology while having the front-facing style be occult grittiness that's seen in mainline SMT. Look at how the original Persona started out with them doing a ritual in a classroom, they can bring that horror atmosphere back and still have it be about the mind.
>>740552947>>740552996This is called cognitive dissonance.
>Now, Persona 6 promises the perfect entry point into one of gaming’s most beloved franchises for newcomers>Whether you’ve been with the series since the beginning or this is your very first Persona experience, you belong here.So many red flags with these. It will be even more over the top and retarded than P5 despite the teaser.
>>740553087The fuck are you talking about? The first Persona game does exactly what you're saying can't be done. Occult horror theme, psychology core. Go be a dumbass somewhere else.
>>740552718You're literally too mind raped by culture war bullshit to even engage with.
>>740544023Thanks Japan, you’ve done it again!
>>740553279Anon literally every Persona game but 2 is like that I don't get why you're making a fuss about that specifically, I mean the whole reason If and the first Persona game were made was literally to be "SMT but for normalfags" basically The biggest red flag with 6 so far is that it's extremely likely that it'll be a new director and a Persona spin-off writer handling things
>Blue ButterflyPhilemon is back.
>>740553374>CULCHA WOORAnd there it is kekYou can't engage with it because I hit the nail on the head, which is why you are tripling down on the dismissive faggotry. Not a single point addressed, btw
>>740553587Shut the fuck up bitch you know I beat your ass. I fuck on your cock. I'm from Cali bitch
>>740553279Even more safe and sterile, too.
>>740543561I'm always hoping for a return to form, with Persona story set in a SMT world. Have your tea time with friends, but I want demons popping out of gates and being subdued by highschoolers in Super Sentai outfits
>>740554050>a SMT worldYou mean a post-apocalypse? That wouldn't work for modern Persona unless it's done like how the first Persona did it
>>740553279>>740554043Aside from being in a high school setting have any Persona game been actually safe?I feel like the only truly safe Megaten games are Demikids and Soul Hackers 2
>>740552631>Why would I expect a very American take on "the occult" to be handled with any success by a bunch of middle-aged Japanese men?American occult faggotry is the lowest bar and a popular meme for japs, so it's definitely understood by them, and that it would likely work for pleasing the slow persona players. The concept is so baseline that smtv even memed it already, and it wouldn't be any deeper. It's just x quest where x character is acting weird, then surprise, a demon was behind it and you fight it. This is just making a minor skin of the main quest type that's already been doing just that in every game anyway. but apparently this is the fascinating theming that the lcd are hoping for.
>>740544736>bold new story>its all the same bullshitIf Persona 1 and 2 get an actual remake, maybe I'll give a fuck. But until then, fuck this dead horse of a series.
>>740554367pr
>>740554436Funny Dazai conquered Abdiel for his side in the end.
>>740554286Each new entry becomes more normalfag friendly, and the remakes even more so for being censored crap
>>740543926Americans are going through a pedo panic right now
>>740553279Literally every persona game after 3 is a good starting point as a new fan, every game has it's own isolated plot you only miss 2-4 references to older games at best
>>740543714I need the French to make Expedition 34 immediately so all the retards saying this can fuck off and play that instead.
>>740544982Is making the next game a horror game not variety enough for you? The tone of P6 looks completely different from the rest of the games.
>>740550803But they'll jerk it to minor Zelda and Spider-Man characters just fineI think it's just because people are racist against Japan and eastern culture in general
>>740554153He means a more occult and edgier tone, like the original persona and devil summoner games
>>740557609That's likely with the trailer I think, at least judging with the teaser it seems like the focus will ve>identity theft due to the face changing shape and the headless statue>defamation of the death>rumors, blame shifting and mystery due to the fingers pointing and the "Who are you" near the end>Death in general fue to the Higanbanna and the graveyard>Philemon coming back due to the blue butterfly and the death of Igor's VA>Nyarlatothep or at least Lovecraft Personas coming back due to the spider web
>>740558074it honestly sounds like good duality, you get P4R for a more lighthearted adventure and P6 for a more somber one
>>740558074Philemon coming back would be cool
>>740543714The cast should be all cute shota boys
>>740543926because I don't want more "ADULTS FRICKIN SUCK DUDE" writing
>>740558074I think Philemon and Lovecraft personas will come back but they won't put any focus to it, more like nod kinda way rather than hugely affecting the story
I want a new persona/demon designer
>>740543926I just want to masturbate to everyone without being a pedo. Do you know how horrible it is to see Ann or Rise but not being able to goon to them without becoming a monster?
>>740559369Anon they aren't real people it isn't pedophilia unless you actually think of them as kids while fappingDid people learn nothing from this? https://youtu.be/okQA7Bu2zm0?t=27s
we're getting persona 6 before gta 6
What if:Persona 6 returns the concept of 'rumors becoming true' from Persona 2?
>Green and black color schemeI'm back bitcheeeees
>>740543561I want a middle school Persona so bad bros
>>740561005Just play Yokai Watch lil'bro
>>740560889>>740560953Would be the best case scenario since rumors were a great idea and I haven't really seen any vidya implement them the same way as P2 since but I doubt that'll actually be the case since that'll be too kino
>>740561036I can't date my companions in that game dude
>>740547537You posted the wrong pic.
>>740543561>I am personally hoping for a deeper focus on Japanese culture and the way they see the occult.You mean Persona 3?
>>740561301Nah we need scooby doo wacky shit and urban legend hunting
>>740544023If Persona 6 got a heroine with Ryoka-like body, I'm buying it day 1.
>>740561301>>740561629None of the Persona games have had any focus on the Japanese occult culture, that isn't really like Scooby Do mysteries from Persona 4But after rewatching the trailer while I do think it'll have more emphasis on the occult due to the headless statue with lovecraftian vines it seems like the actual focus is identity theft
I thought you guys said it was going to be spy themed but this logo looks as rustic as typical horror movie schlock.You know people joke about P4 being the Scooby Doo crew but if this has campy horror tropes this might truly be that game.Now... As long as they have Actual Romance, I will pick it up.
>>740545341>ped*phelia simulator?So the target demographic?
>>740561820>spy themedThat sounds extremely retarded where did you get something like that?
>>740543714>muh collegeFuck off and just jerk off to the fictional high schoolers anon. No one cares.
>>740561814That sounds lameId love a dungeon themed around famous occult shit like say... a suicide forest or one of the shadows going full scissor woman
>>740543561They should make this match the fanbase and have you be an adult dating a bunch of high schoolers
>>740543561would be cool if they explored imageboards kowaiibanashi like urasekai picnic
i just hope they don't get rid of romancing older womeni'm legitimately not interested in high school girls even if I'm supposed to be playing as a high schooler the older women in P5 were peak choices
>>740543926As someone who's in his thirties I just can't do school settings for things, it just fundamentally doesn't appeal to me anymoreHowever I also don't think Persona is for me at this point
>>740543714I hope it's middle schoolers!
>>740558074they'll forget the teaser two years in and it will have nothing to do with the game
>>740562853Then play SMT and stop demanding the franchise change for you.
Will Persona 1 or 2 ever get remakes in the current style? Or will they continue to be Atlus' red headed stepchildren?
>>740550803People keep saying that but it sounds like an utterly retarded reason.Like legit, its a single player game. Nobody fucking knows that you're jacking off to the girls nor will they care.
>>740548413>of course they aren't going to ditch the high school setting that'd be retardedIf its retarded then why are so many people in here and on X wishing for it?
Would be kino if they dropped the god shit and went the occult/satanism route. Kinda like the begining of SMT3.
>>740563973Because the people wishing it don't actually play the games they just watch playthroughs
>>740564118Literally who watches playthroughs nowadays? Just buy the game lol
>>740561284Thats the right pic.The collective unconsciousness has spoken.
>>740563338If they get a remake it won't be in the current style, the story of 1 and 2 simply doesn't work with social link system due to how apocalyptic things get by the end compared to 3~5>>740563036But Persona's 5 first teaser about the chairs hinted at the story it's just SMT 5 and Metaphor whose teasers got ignored due to development getting reworked which is why those 2 took so long to release after their teasersAs long as 6 isn't like those two it should hint at it
>>740564331>P3 fmc and Haru that highWhy? I get P2 and P1 not being included because no one has played them but the rest of P3's cast is right there
>>740543714Not everyone went to college,thats why its set in high school
>>740561937People only said it because the leaks showed the MC and the girl wearing an earpiece. That's it. However, according to another anon apparently a Chinese leaker said the focus was on "espionage" shit but I don't know.
>>740564485The P3 cast issue is that they come off more as coworkers.In general they are better characters but lack group cohesion which is why they have only one closest friend (YukariMitsuru, AkihikoKen, JunpeiMCMidori, FuukaHer Bully).So they are less endearing as a hroup of friends.
>>740564331>2022Living in the past is not healthy.
>>740565441Eh I'm sure they will make more popularity polls when Revival and 6 release so we will see.
>>740565529Fine by me.
>Persona fans watching a one minute long trailer that shows nothing but a dark screen
Will fatlus finally be brave enough to address this?
>>740565724Anon this would get them fucking blacklisted from the markets. Japs would tear the company down.
>>740565724Better question, what are you doing lurking in reddit?
>>740565784Didn't the critically acclaimed Machi have teen pregnancy though? Although then again that sold like shit but I always thought it was people attached the esthetics to FMV games
>>740565724>>740565695>uses reddit>watches Persona yotubersWhy?
>>740543561Me? I'm looking forward to pushing the envelope with the in game romances. Maybe cheating with your best friend's girlfriend?Forcing girls to get abortions?Rape?All on the table.
>>740566091None of these are happening with Persona, but maybe if mainline SMT decides to add romance then I could see it
>>740544585So play catherine if you want that.
There will be forty-year-olds playing this who were twenty when P3 released.
>>740544982Maybe it's because Persona is largely a series for high schoolers. It's fine to play if as an adult, but don't act like you're the main audience.
>>740543714It’s gonna be an occult club in high school
>>740545576Kojima is not an evangelical
>>740566253>>740566091Fuck the mom of one of your friends and become their new dad.I think its time we get endings based on qho we romanced.
>>740543561It's been almost ten years since the release of P5, and before that we had to wait eight years for P5. I honestly don't care anymore.
>>740562493>i just hope they don't get rid of romancing older women>mfw those older women are now younger than me
>>740567592Persona 6 will probably come out ln like late 2028, maybe 2029, so it's pretty likely you're already gonna be a lot older than the older female choices in P6
>>740567714Nah based on what that leaker said, its coming out next year on September. He was already correct about the release date of P4R being February.
>>740543561>The way they see the occultSomething niche but aesthetically attractive like everywhere else>But the shinso templesThats mainstream, part of their normalfag culture just like latinxs with christians masses on sunday.
>>740567890>latinxsNeck yourself.
>>740563338Theres rumors they are getting at most a remaster.P1&2 are just way too different to consider them appealing to the new fans.Nevermind EP has flopped on both systems it released.Just doesn't seem worthy.
>>740567952If they ever remake 1 and 2, its gonna be a full-fledged remake since they need to add social links and the calendar system shit.
>>740567765Yeah but wasn't Persona 5 expected to come out like 2014 but came out way later? It wouldn't be remotely be surprising if P6 got delayed considering the high expectations.
>>740543561>people are predicting the MC will return from the dead based on the trailerwhat is the implication? son of the reaper?
>>740563036>and it will have nothing to do with the gameI see anons keep coming back to this point, but it doesn't make any sense when it comes to P6.>P5 gets the first teaser and then the game gets hit with a massive delay due to a bunch of factors. But even with that and the changes that happened during the delay the chair teaser still got a lot aspects into the game like imprisonment, rebelling for freedom etc.>Metaphor gets its teaser and it also gets hit with a massive delay which did result in massive overhauls that left it looking far more different than the original images teased>Meanwhile the leaks have claimed that P6 is nearing the end of it's development and is set to come out next year, which doesn't leave time to change anything unless the game gets massively delayed for some reasonP6 won't be as unrelentingly dark as the teaser suggests, but thinking that the final product is going to look nothing like the teaser is equally stupid.
>>740568053True but Atlus also didn't announce any release date yet so it remains to be seen. We'll need to wait on the next awards I guess.>>740568093>MC will return from the deadI honestly would love it if they finally, finally fucking did something with Door-kun being revived. Its been too long and if this game has occult themes then maybe they'll bring him back.
green is such a shit colour
>>740568197But Ben 10...
>>740562493Self-insert game is weak. I just settle into how I remember feeling as a high schooler in the past and everything takes care of itself. In that context, the relationships with the adults become the weirdest, even if still charming. Though, maybe you're a Kenji and legitimately weren't interested in girls your age back then. If so, hope you reached the promised land.
>>740543926People on here were bullied every day in high school anon
>>740544585redditor
>>740544072you are going to get the most cliche yokai that are always spammed in anime/manga mediadandadan ahhhhh game
>>740543714Seek help
why are some atlus/persona fans so autistic? They kept saying for years that there will never be a P6 (which makes no sense) and even denied the legitimacy of the fucking leaks for a long time.
>>740543714Get a job uncPersona was always a teen romance visual novel made exclusively for teenagers and young adults
>>740573428From what I've seen there's just a lot of ex-tumblr users that latched onto it for some reason and just like everything they latch on to they try to make it as difficult to discuss Persona for everyone else
>>740570356Speak for yourself pal
>>740573554But those fags should've shut up as soon as we found out that Atlus sent a copyright strike. And now we know that the logo is the exact same as in the leaks kek.
>>740543561I'm personally hoping for occult gakuen in game form
>>740543561>rumorsdamn are they gonna bring back nyarlothetep? I hope so. Since Igor's VA died they might even bring back Phily in non-butterfly form
>>740568008I think they would rather not due it.I would love to see P1 MC plap Eriko and Mary.
>>740571062Hope we can romance one.Maybe she will be out mascot.
>>740543561You are going to get generic highschool anime shenanigans
>>740543561Teaser had a graveyard and panned to a headless statue and its theme color was green. JSDF/Military Academy Persona, themes of Duty, Conspiracy and Betrayal. MC's Ultimate Persona will be Masakado.
>>740543714lol you're old
>>740576016Its gonna be about art school stuff bro. The leaks pretty much confirmed it with all the paint.
>>740548840It's literally just the brand now. Persona IS high schoolers dealing with monsters. If that's boring, play SMT or a completely different franchise.
>>740576131Last I checked that one pic hasn't been confirmed.
I hope they're gonna do something about life/unlife in regards to people and places (bustling cities vs abandoned parks) or some shitalso that suicide forest
I think Makoto will be in the game
>>740543561that logo is god-awful
>>740578757I think it'll be more metaphorical in the overall message. Like instead of the game being about the actual death of people, it's something like the death of personal identity and learning how to resurrect that.
does ANY of the art school stuff fit into this?
>>740581036the art school leak with the paint was fake
So what's the release window? Early 2027?
>>740580971>>740581036>Ego Death>Art KidsThat sounds like a pretty common combo from what I've seen in the art community.>>740581079Those pics were part of the leak tho, who debunked them?
>>740581140they werent part of the leak
>>740543926Simple. If they are in high school normalfags(Read zoomers) are forbidden from finding them attractive. The very thought itself causes them anguish because it goes against their programming.
>>740581079>the art school leak with the paint was fakeBig if true. The art student setting sounds extremely boring. Occult club is way cooler.
>>740581184So does that mean the blue hair Mitsuru is also fake? I thought that one and the paint splattered clothes pics were confirmed real by leakers.The only ones that got dismissed were the obvious AI images.
>>740581184That resetera leaker.People post stuff and then he occasionally confirms.He has yet to confirm that image when he confirmed the logo, the oujo and the initial leaks.
>>740543561You might be in luck.
>>740581407blue hair is real pretty sure
>>740581119At the least. Wouldn't be surprised at early 2028. With that out of the way, god I fucking love Futaba.
>>740580635Ben Harvey rip
>>740547773M rated series.
>>740580635Will Atlus finally resolve this plotpoint? I really hope they bring back Door in some way here. Like someone else said, maybes hes the new Velvet room master since Igor's VA died.
>>740581119>>740582020Guy who leaked P6 said September next year.He also said P4R was February next year and that was correct, so no lies detected for P6.
>>740581251>The art student setting sounds extremely boring. Occult club is way cooler.But you could have both? An art school that has an occult club in it.
>>740582243Man, The Answer really ruined the whole point of the game. What was originally the MC sacrificing his life in place of the world because he realized he was The World is now some door bullshit that Elizabeth is trying to undo somehow. I'm fully convinced they'll never actually bring him back, but them jebaiting with that silly plot point has given people hope for something that won't ever be.
>>740582816That was P4 that started that
>>740582887Hmm, I guess. You could still argue that him being a door in The Answer was purely a metaphor representing the impermanence of Nyx being gone. It is when people started seriously theorizing his return, though.
>>740543926From a gameplay point of view I think it's better to have them in college because they can choose to go to class or not, whereas high school games force the players to interact with it. I also think Japs need to have WAY more college oriented media, it's embarrassing how much shit is about high school with barely anything at all for college. In fact the only one I can recall is the second half of Blue Period. I want to read/watch stories about people working shitty konbini jobs and struggling to focus on their curriculum ontop of getting drunk with friends, not kids building up for the school festival for the 10 trillionth time.
>>740581119Sucks to know that no P6 girl could possibly top Futaba. It is all downhill from here.
>>740543926Everyone ITT were picked on relentlessly in high-school. Of course they don't have good memories.
>>740583250>because they can choose to go to class or notThat would make things worse. As much as Persona is about freedom to do what you want for most of the game, high school provides that necessary counterbalance of obligation. Japanese University is absolute bullshit compared to secondary schooling, unless you happen to get into a really good college, I guess. Not to mention college just isn't something most Japanese people can relate to, high school is. And therefore, it's the fantasized time of youth that's accessible to pretty much everyone. Persona will never be in a college setting.
>>740583363>Sucks to know that no P6 girl could possibly top Futaba.A paranormal investigator focused game is prime location to get a Futaba-like girl, but instead of being a weird tech gremlin, you get a schizo occult obsessed girl.Futaba can't compete with that.
>>740583779The optional counterbalance has already been a apart of the games anon, you can choose to study or dungeon dive or work or date and you have to juggle all to stay on top. College having you choose to come in to classes or not is just the same thing. Also most Japs are retarded so they should be inspired to go to college and romanticize the possibility of doing it instead of immediately getting a slavewage job at an office.
>>740543561You will get high school shit and you will enjoy it
Why are people so certain that this is a high school by the way?The leaks said that P6 is in an "art school" and the game description doesn't specify high school either. It could still be a high school, but iirc the only art schools in Japan are colleges.
>>740582020Not my favorite but she makes normies seethe and its cute how earnest she is in wanting to be a good girlfriend.
>>740583916>Also most Japs are retarded so they should be inspired to go to college and romanticize the possibility of doing it instead of immediately getting a slavewage job at an officeOh, thought you were worth arguing with for a moment. Fuck off.
>>740583579My highschool was incredibly boring and the only bullying going on was girls being bitches to eachother
>>740584048https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/persona-6/9n6h2wjrzf39Description confirms its classic Persona formula.Even confirms romance so we know its not Metaphor bs again.
>>740543714games are about teenagers not some hopeless adult that is envious of younger people
>>740543561It’s an ATLUS game, they’re all exactly the same game minus the themes of the world and if they are a dating simulator or not. It doesn’t even matter if it has some spooky themes, you’re going to use the same demons to fight in the same way you have a thousand times before - the only question is which girl are you gooning to?
>>740584470P6 will shake up the formula because you can goon to ghost girls now.
i dont get the hype for this teenager vn.
>>740584470>which girl are you gooning to?I've got an idea
>>740544736>BOLD new story >OVER THIRTY YEARS>you are a high school student and something mysterious has happened. Use monsters to fight other monsters. How the actual fuck have they just repeated the exact same basic plot for over thirty fucking years? That’s JUST Persona, all the rest of their damn games are literally the exact same!
>>740543926Because the arbitratory age given to the drawings matters. Persona 3 could easily take place in college and it wouldn't change anything beyond referring to it as college.
>>740544745It’s almost like life has stages and things change after you graduate high school and join the workforce or college which leads to new directions in a stories narrative. Crazy.
>>740584194Am I not telling the truth or are you one of those fat brown skinned chuds who think all Japs are super smart and pretty and creative? Because I've been to Japan several times and they really are fucking stupid people.
>>740543714The reason the Japanese are obsessed with high school is because it's the last time in their entire lives they have any freedom. It's wage slavery, 996, all the way to the grave from then on. There's no hope for them, so they relive their high school clubs and high school friendships until they drop.
>>740543561>ATLUS>You have been chosen to wield a supernatural power in a modern Japanese setting>turn based monster battler>You must unify the realm in a fantasy epic based on the writings of famous English Catholic martyr Thomas More>Turn based monster battler>The world has been torn between elemental good and evil and the apocalypse has began! Choose whether you side with Heaven or Hell!>turn based monster battler
>>740543926>high school is the best time in your lifeFucking what? Lmao
>>740549197>It’s very important that men believe this because the current AoC doesn’t hold up very well under scrutiny. If two 17 year olds go to prom are they both pedophiles lol?Romeo and Juliet laws exist for that. Allows a two year seperation if one is over 18 to prevent issues with two 17 year olds fucking and one turning 18.
>>740584632Calm down its only been 3 games.Its not a yearly or even half a decade release series.Its way too soon for the formula to get stale.
>>740584161She's easily the most misunderstood character in the game, it pains me how many people say she's a mental child. Like fuck off, she's arguably the most perceptive PT in the game when it comes to knowing people, she's just scarred and in general goes by the beat of her own drum. Sojiro ways Wakaba was weird as fuck, so it's mostly her personality mixed with her trauma from being mindfucked by the glowies into having a palace. I like to wonder if it's how Sojiro felt with Wakaba: god she's weird, but I've never been more attracted to someone in my whole goddamn life.
>>740584712Japs get overworked to death.They won't want to play a waggie sim.Won't specially like some game telling them their waggie life is actually awesome.
>>740584853>The reason the Japanese are obsessed with high school is because it's the last time in their entire lives they have any freedomAnons really need to stop saying this shit.Jap high school is stressful as fuck due to the strict scheduling and constant pressure to perform well and get into a high ranking university. Then once they do get into college the average Jap just fucks around for four years since failing college over there is damn near impossible and they don't have their parents hovering over their shoulders any more.After that is when they go into the workforce where you have the Japanese businessman stereotype (which is also going away too due to changes in labor laws and the philosophy of the younger Jap generation who don't want to sacrifice their lives for work).
>>740554989B-but those Rise posters in 5, if you don't beat 4 first, you won't get the reference and see her as just some random idol.
>>740585027>not wanting to change peoples hearts in the workforce
Devil Survivor bros... how long do we need to wait?
>>740585136It’s the exact same fucking game plus the social elements. What is actually wrong with you people?
>>740585136If I remember the team worled on VV and are now on an Etrian Oddysey?Its most certainly dead sadly.
>>740585067>which is also going away too due to changes in labor laws and the philosophy of the younger Jap generation who don't want to sacrifice their lives for work).I read something really interesting that the gang trope appeared because the generation after boomers were massively screwed by being forced to go to college with triple the effort and losing the chance of working at their parents business.Boomers even rather let their own daughters sleep in the street begging strangers for money as long as they get le college degree instead of letting them marry some older man kek
>>740582816Elizabeth freeing him is some distant event we will never see. Margaret even says it's good the chains of time are loose for the attendants.
>>740585067Alright, consider me schooled. I still think the Japanese have a culture built around pure escapism, which is why gacha is so popular; it demands no time, only money. Works well when all you do is work. It's a lot of owning and not a lot of doing. Maybe that's wrong as well?
>>740585458Doesn’t everywhere have this? Why do you think video games are so popular to begin with?>wahhhh but thing-Japan ahhhhh
>>740585136It's over...
>>740585635I wonder why no other ATLUS games do choices like Devil Survivor. Would make it more enjoyable and relatable if the protag had reactions to the choices you make.Persona 2 did kind of similar with Tatsuya after all.
>>740585458It is escapism, but that's not why high school is the focus so often. It's mainly because it's the latest time of youth pretty much everyone can project themselves back to, if they're not still in high school themselves. Most Japanese people don't go to college, therefore they can't relate. That said, the escapism/romanticization is there. Japanese high school is very much no fun allowed compared to what's portrayed in media.
>>740582178Japanese series faggot lmfao
>>740584853Only an ignorant retard would say this. High school in Japan is a grind, it's super stressful and you have zero free time or control over your life. Uni on the other hand is a period of maximal freedom, and it's known as the summer vacation of life, because you suddenly have no obligations and endless free time to do whatever the fuck you feel like for 4 years. People who repeat this retarded shit about high school are showing off their their knowledge of Japan is so poor that they manage to literally say the exact opposite to the thing is true. It's staggeringly retarded when a 2 minute internet search could have revealed how much of a stupid ignoramus you are. How you people are so stupid that you mouth off like this while being so utterly clueless is beyond me. How do you have no shame to run around spouting the dumbest, most obviously incorrect shit constantly.
>>740544286I want salaryman persona. Imagine 90% of your days being work woohoo!
>>740550458I had stick arms when I was a teenager I couldn't take on wet tissue paper. Please send all the women with huge thighs to fight me though we need to test this yes. For uh, science.
>>740584853Yeah.That's why you dont see college or uni shit.HS is really when they feel alive.Probably because college prepares them to be soulless wagies.
>>740543714Why do so many people repeat this shit? I swear to god it's the biggest NPC sheeple loser behaviour to parrot this shit. Go make your own fucking game with uni students if you want one so bad. It's like someone who wants to play GTA running around saying the next Tetris game needs more cutscenes and guns. Just fuck off if you don't want the fucking game.
>>740550926I can't fucking stand persona 5. I respect the UI that was good enough to now never fuck off and appear in all sorts of places, and the style is fine but something about how the dungeons are constructed makes them unbearably tedious to me. I always lose steam once we reach the final three dungeons and the fucking ship fuck that.
>>740585809>Most Japanese people don't go to college/v/ will just say the wildest shit with no source.
>>740586360College has literally zero preparation for anything lmao, Japanese college is a complete joke where you can fuck around and do whatever you want all day for 4 years. None of the jobs you interview for after college even give a single fuck about what you studied because all of the companies know that it doesn't matter because EVERYONE knows that college students just party and have fun for 4 years and learn absolutely fucking nothing.
>>740585809no, most japanese people go to uni. You would know this if you knew literally anything about japan
Nobody cares, it'll never be set in college and you will continue to seethe about it and virtue signal online about how you can't ethically be attracted to the characters in the game. Japs have their reasons for high school fantasy being popular, you are not part of the equation.
>>740586593Then why no jap cares to have more college games? Almsot all their media ignores it.
>>740585458Japanese people work way way fewer hours than Americans. Japanese people used to work really long hours in the late 80s, but that was a very long time ago. Honestly like half the information that people seem to parrot about Japan comes from tropes about what Japan was like in the 80s, and no-one has ever bothered to check whether it's still true
>>740586719None of this has anything to do with how or when life is at its best in Japan. It’s all about getting the bait as young as possible for the chomos in the audience
>>740586850I dunno what you're talking about to be honest, there's loads of media with college students.
>>740543714Stop being ashamed of wanting to fuck high school girls
>>740586946Highschool age is when girls are at their most attractive, it is what it is
>>740587038It’s boring. They’ve done the same fucking thing six times in a row now.
>>740587079have you ever even played any of these games
>>740587079This "it's boring" thing isn't going to work on me, sweetie.
>>740587079Then fuck off? There's a reason these games are so popular. There are plenty of games that aren't set in high school, go play those.
>>740587117When did they not do this? Atlus just cannot be inventive. Even when it IS an entirely new and different setting like Metaphor it’s still the exact same fucking shit
>>740587201>g-g-go away if you don’t like it Chud! I don’t want anything to ever be different ever!
>>740587227I mean I can tell that you haven't even played the games because of how dumb that statement is. Maybe you should try playing one.
>>740587290I indeed do not want them to change one of the things I like most about the games. Good thing they'll never do that, too.
>>740587290>this thing that has been consistently good should be changed because change for the sake of changeNo thanks, fuck off and go play something else and let me have the thing I like.
It's just an announcement and a logo and the fags are so excited about it.
>>740587079I get what you mean in general, but I don't see a problem with the high school setting as long as you can do something to switch things up a bit within that setting.>P4 had that small countryside school>P5 had that inner city overcrowded schoolIf P6 is in an art school and you spend a good chunk of that time in an occult club, that would be enough to differentiate the setting. But if it was just P3 or P5 school again then I do agree that would be boring and you're in danger of retreading the same topics and characters that have already been in previous games rather than exploring new ground. I've never been banging the table for college Persona, but I would've welcomed that if P6 went that route as that does guarantee some new scenarios while you know you're still going to get stuff like the school festival in high school settings.
>>740587290Yes?I like a game series that provides the same experiences I enjoy.What's next complain Fromsoft releases another Souls game?
It's a Japanese game.Japanese life after highschool is fucking depressing.
>>740587427I have. Tell me which Persona game isn’t in the same setting and then you can tell me which Atlus games aren’t copy paste renditions of one another.
>>740587290When there is pretty much close to a decade since the last completely new mainline then I do not want them re-inventing the wheel. You fucks scream about games changing too much but also scream about games not changing enough.
>>740587446>change for the sake of changeThat's not why they want it changed, they just can't ethically be attracted to the characters and want to make it everyone else's problem.
>>740587589No you haven't lmao
>ITT dents going absolutely insane that some people think trying something different for once might be interesting
>>740544982Persona 2 has adults and that's two games right there
>>740587625Answer the question
>>740587539no way, uni is way better than high school. Uni is basically just rotating through fucking all the girls in your circle and chilling out, all day every day. Way better than high school where you actually have to do shit.
>>740587665You could try playing A DIFFERENT GAME instead of trying to change Persona.
>>740543561Why is Japan so fucking annoying with their releases? There is no point ins playing P6 when P6 Resurrected is coming in a year or two. Why get a kingdom hearts game when final mix? Why get Pokemon when the 3rd version hits.Fuck off with this shit.
>>740587721Stop pretending you've played the persona games dumbass, it's literally about as obvious as it can be to anyone who's played them
>>740587492Yes? >NOOOOO YOU CANT INNOVATE AND EVER DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE THE SAME AHHHHHHHH
>>740587760Atlus has said they're moving away from enhanced editions because they are effecting the initial sales too much which is probably why we haven't seen an enhanced version of Metaphor.
>>740587762Why won’t you just answer the question? If I’m wrong and have no experience with the games it should be easy to prove me wrong
>>740587784>this game is good, I want you to make it something else now thoughWhy not just play a different kind of game from a different series instead? I keep asking you but you don't answer
>>740583779Mandatory classes don't really do anything, they just eat up a time slot that you don't have access to anyway. You don't even get 3 time slots on Sunday.
>>740587845You have to have the gene to not understand this concept
>>740587815>EO Untold 1/2 stuck on 3DS>EO3U never
>>740587784you know other people are making other games if you want a different game. You don't have to bang on the door of the people making the next mario game and tell them it needs to have more basketball and more gunplay in it. You don't have to tell the people making the next civilisation game that they need to ditch all the civs and make it a motion control dancing game. You can just play a motion control dancing game. Or a basketball game. Not everyone has to make the games that you want to play. Just play the games of the people making the games you want instead of trying to force everyone else to make those games too.
>>740587842retard, just play the fucking games instead of larping
>>740587903Since you refuse to answer I'm going to assume you're just deeply uncomfortable with jerking off to japanese high school cartoon girls
>>740587760Because autistic freaks will buy all of the games and toys and all the other slop they shit out
>>740587665But I don't want that.No other series does the formula as well.You've had so many knockoffs and non come close to the quality of Persona.Go play something else.
>>740587956I have played them. The onus is on you to prove me wrong you dent lmao
>>740588051Dude it's really fucking obvious you haven't, stop pretending
I smell resetera.
>>740588024It's kind of funny. Lots of games have tried to copy the Persona formula, but never fully commit since most of the clones just come down to "Who you spend time with" while never fully utilizing the day to day life stuff even if the game has a calendar system.
Not really on topic, but it's funny reading the last couple of posts when this is the same place that happily celebrates when fighting games kneecap themselves by dumbing shit down, removing controls and focusing in more on single player than actually appealing to people that enjoy the genre.
>>740587784Unironically yes.Move on.Persona is meant to be the teenagers RPG.The series isn't supposed to grow with you.>Muh Persona 2.I'm 100% you didnt play P2EP. Which is okay because its the worst selling Persona entry.
>>740586240That's just an SMT game.
I hope the final boss is Epstein
>>740546910You are acting like the normalfaggot here with these vague statements full of buzzwords you’re making the more I read the reply chain the more I wonder if you have an actual argument
>>740588108I actually find it really weird how there are no persona clones. There's clearly a lot of demand for it
>>740588083Yeah? Why would they be here when they have their super cool website to dilate in?
>>740588024You don’t want anything to ever change whatsoever because you either have Asperger’s or autism. Things need to change sometimes, nobody is taking away your old games you can always go back to by merely suggesting that mixing the setting up a bit MIGHT be successful.
>>740543926They are ashamed to admit they crank their hog to japanese high school anime girls.
The description of the xbox version says it's pretty much the same persona as always (high school setting, romance, calentar based game) focused on rumors/horror folklore. I would expect more of 3/4/5. These teasers are nothing lmao it'll probably have the same vibe as always and some sort of god will be the final boss
>>740588298And it'll have an expanded version released in 3-4 years that will nerf the shit out of any potential challenge.
>>740588298>it'll probably have the same vibe as always3, 4 and 5 all had different vibes tho
Schizos like this give religion a bad name. I can only assume they're a psyop.
>>740548128i need a official statement telling me straight up they wont do it anymore
>>740588273>You don’t want anything to ever change whatsoever because you either have Asperger’s or autism.Luckily ATLUS cater to me then.>Things need to change sometimes,Not really. Persona has a winning formula and its only been 3 games and I loved them all.I want more of it because no one else is going to make something like it (Or will fail in attempting it).
>>740543561They do not know what to do with this franchise.P5 was just P4 again with annoying characters.Cue seething weebs.I am right and you know it.Even the hentai is mediocre.
>>740588505You're as delusional as him if your instant reaction is to jump to a conspiracy as retarded as all his conspiracies
>>740588156I think because if you look at doing a proper clone that it becomes a really daunting task. You got to figure out social systems, social stats, enough events to fill a calendar year and if you do that then people will just go "Yeah. Complete Persona clone."
>>740588657they made p4 in like 18 months. they should have just kept pumping them out like that, they're clearly successful games and not releasing a game for a decade has meant they've given up a lot of potential sales
>>740588668How come it's only ever Christianity that is made to look bad with this end times schizobabble?
>>740543714>he wants the cringe muh adult settingembarrassing.
>>740588709I mean, not really? P3 and P4 were designed to be really easy to develop from a labour standpoint, since the schedule system meant they could reuse the same assets and locations all throughout the game. Like persona games are much more labour and effort light compared to games where you're constantly travelling to bespoke locations and having to interact with new bespoke assets as you move through the game.
>>740588804It isn't, Christians are just overrepresented among anglophones.
>>740588418And none of the teasers were truly indicative of their actual vibe of the game, especially for 4 and 5
Everyone is just inept at doing Persona clones.Persona clone starter pack:>Protagonist has a personality so the immersion has already tanked.>Female protag lmao.>If not Gay shit.>Bad turn based gameplay.>Made for normies.Unironically ATLUS should just patent the entire formula and make a monopoly.
>>740543561The way they see the occult is a reflection of their repressed misery and negativity for the past 900 years. It always has been nothing but this since the Heian period, so best of luck distinguishing it any other way now.People celebrate Japanese men's mid-life crisis and desperate cry for help as "good game development" here. They have no fucking idea of the country they are perceiving or the repression into group thinking they have to commit to in order to thrive and survive over there.For every radical mind that flourishes, another Nobunaga is celebrated for having stepped out of line and called a fool for simply doing what he wants to do. They don't enjoy the same freedoms that you neglect or take for granted. They are born into a society that expects EVERYTHING from them from day one.
>>740588726PS2 Atlus was on fire when it came to Megaten and the branching IPs. Granted, that was the golden age of gaming in general. Though they still could keep things rolling if they weren't so scared of reusing engines.
Which Arcana will she be?
>>740588340Just like Super Mario Bros. 3 was inspired by the beast. What the Hell?
>>740544023>Xbox has no ga-
>>740588880>especially for 4Are you talking about this one piece of really early concept art that wasn't shown until well after the game came out? Because the first trailer of P4 was just clips straight from the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-B4QOggr6k>P5The vibes were different, but the elements of that chair image still made it into the final game.
>>740543714Back to twitter lil nigga
>>740589060Wasn't this design comfirmed to be fake? Only the blond guy and the girl with the black/red hair are true from my understanding
>>740585761They avoid doing that for Persona because they think choices impacting a lot of the game won't appeal to normalfags, so they rather just have a normal story and additional optional stuff for hardcore gamers so that it can be enjoyed by bothAs to why other SMT don't have this it's because of they're done by different writersHow's Caligula Effect in that regard? It's done by the writer of the duology of Persona 2 and Digital Devil Saga but I don't see it being mentioned much
>>740590240No.The leaker said it's real.Funnily her jacket matches the sloppa of the supposed P5 cast so that AI could be based on a real image.
>>740590501I never saw anyone else mentioned on the Cloverworks leak
the only reason they keep the high school scenarios is cause pedophelia is normal in japan and a big part of their culture. thats also why it is so appealing to americans especially. fucked up desu.
>>740588340If only schizos could harness their, frankly, amazing ability to create patterns into something that wasn't just pointless babble.
>>740543926Not everyone peaked in high school like you, loser.
>>740543714>College
>>740590650It's mostly from restera where the leaker is from.If someones posts something that is true, he usually replies to the post and he did reply to the snotty oujo.https://www.resetera.com/threads/alleged-persona-6-character-designs-may-have-surfaced-online.1531939/page-20#post-155590753
>>740543561>JapanNo thanks
>>740592576Thanks
>>740587620You keep saying this but what proof is there? That sounds retarded. Why would they want Persona to be set in collage just so that they could jack off to the girls? Nobody cares who you're jacking off to dude.
>>740543714Millennials who still play video games for teens and kids that cry about not being catered to are the most pathetic people on this earth.When are you gonna grow up and move on from children’s media, faggot?
>>740589060People are already making art of this shit? What the fuck. We don't even know if this is a real design or ai.
>>740593428Its true.Thats why Kawakami and Futaba makes them seethe so much.Maybe not only jacking it to girls but mainly they don't want to feel creepy for playing a game with such content.Even if they don't Engage with it, the fact its there and it has an audience bothers them to no end.They want Persona to be as normie as possible.
>>740593847Those people sound like fake fans desu. Same with the ones who want FemC
>replace in-depth role-playing systems with quirk chungus le reddit responses>become celebrated as one of the greatest rpgs ever made??? why do you people love these games so much?
>>740594239Your queries were already answered before many times. Why do you keep asking them? Do you have dementia?
I'm gonna be honest the fact that it's leaked that you can chose your MC gender makes me unable to look forward to it.
>>740594571>that you can choose your [SCHIZO HEADCANON]
>>740594571That wasn't leaked.
>>740594619See>>740547925Blonde is the male MC, black is the female MC.
>>740594719>Blonde is the male MCCorrect>black is the female MCSource? And the leaker already said that only the guy is the MC.
>>740593986Well duh of course they arent.They are fan of the idea of Persona but not the actual Persona.They want it to be gay and as sanitized of any otaku appeal.To this day they dont get why you can fuck Kawakami but not Akechi.>>740594571Thats a rumor but no real leak. Leaker said the protagonist is the blonde dude.The dual MC shit is from other leakers that aren't reliable (Though they say its not an actual FEMC but just another character you might control for a while. Something like Mia in RE7).
>>740594803Some anon
>>740543561>its green>the cemetery>who are you?This will involve ghosts, you dead, and accepting death in the end as you play the role of a friendly ectoplasmic hero that can summon demons from the collective unconscious of the people you will leave behind (your arcana social links).
>>740595132>theme is death againMakoto Yuuki coming back confirmed (please just resolve this plotline already god)
>>740595132They aren't killing a MC ever again.They want to do shitton of spinoffs.
>>740548991Your point was that they shouldn’t abandon high school because the setting is what makes it successful. You were immediately proven wrong and now you’re moving the goal posts. They should change it because novelty is good 6 installments into a franchise you disingenuous faggot.
>>740551546>college children don't know fuck from their elbow no matter how much their elders entertain the delusion otherwiseDespite what your dad told you to keep you on the pig farm you do actually learn valuable things from higher education

>>740543561Just read Higurashi
>>740598781Nah, unironically the anniversary of BP will be next year, so a persona game paying homage to it plus the protags toppling down a dystopian state is obvious by now.
>>740543561I'm really excited for the new BAD ENDs
>>740571062> dandadan ahhhhh gameDude, just say assWhy are you censoring yourself?

>>740543561Were the leaks fake? I fucking hope so because the teaser trailer has a completely different vibe to those shitty leaks
>>740601180The logo in the leaks was the same as the logo we got in the trailer, so the leaks seem more legit than before.
>>740601368Shit, I'm really not a fan of the character design, it's the most generic shit I've ever seen but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised and the game will turn out to be goodThere's also P4R so that's nice
>>740543714Kill yourself
>>740587038We need to go younger, it's time for a Persona game set in a middle school
>>740544059that's anime-cringe
>>740543561you'll probably get it considering the game's description
What else will Atlus make within this year and the next?
Not exclusive? No buy.
>>740543926Imagine wanting to play games about schoolyards, teachers and attending classes.Gay as fuck
It looks like Atlus listened to the dumb fucks who want a "mature" Persona game (it already exists, its called Shin Megami Tensei and its the superior product) and now P6 will flop because they removed dating minors. What they mean by "mature" Persona is P5 but in college cause they're insecure about being called diddy ahh bluds for dating high school girls. They aren't looking for themes or gameplay. They'd play SMT if they actually wanted that. This is why these people are the ones consuming the product and not making it. I for one, am excited. From the looks of it, Atlus seems to be returning Persona back to its roots (P1 + 2 duology and SMT)
>>740543926because they don't want to be called weird for dating Futaba or Rise>>740610584youth is beauty
what would his weapon be? we've already had all the standard hero weapons (1 handed sword, 2 handed sword, knife, pistol). fist maybe? or a spear?
Atlus, please make this like Persona + Shadow Hearts for maximum spooky kino.
>>740611115What the fuck are you talking about? 6 is both set in highschool and also features romance.
>>740543926I got high school fatigue after decades of watching anime.
I hate 5 secondaries so much.
