>we'll never get a Persona game with mature themes and a different setting because middle aged men are too nostalgic for the four years they went to highschool 30 years ago
Persona's always been about high school. If you want something else, play mainline or the other million spinoffs of it.
>>740886728you will never be a woman, fucking groomer
Qrd op? I want to get into persona but don't know where to start.
>>740886254>high school>4 years???
>>740886254Read a book
>>740889580OP doesn't even know high school in Japan is only 3 years. Probably hasn't even played Persona. I mean, I haven't either. But I'm not making threads seething about it not catering to me like a pathetic nigger.
>i want a different game from this franchiseyou are a fucking retard and should kill yourself
>>740886254>>740887019>average redditbob poster
>>740886254Considered playing different games rather than wanting a series to grow with you?Go the Yakuza route so you can become a 60 year old with the main character
>>740886254No dipshit, you'll never get a Persona game with mature themes and a different setting because Persona as a series is made to appeal to high schoolers, specifically high school girls. The characters, the settings, the stories, the game mechanics, Persona for the last 20 years has been designed for high school girls who like anime and JRPGs. You're like a guy going into a starbucks and then complaining they dont sell steak dinners. If you want something different, go play a different game
>>740889887>change genre>change the main characterany real fan yakuza wasn't in favor of that shit either
>>740886254>mature themes in toys (videogames)Read actual literature if you want mature themes.
>>740886728What is: Eternal Punishment?
>>740889421starts at 3, peaks at 5
It's Japanese Harry Potter, just admit you're a manchild and move on.
i just want to be a shemale and suck cock in peace, is that so much to ask?
>>740892073You have it backwards, manchild.
>>740886254fucking stupid retard
>>740886254They already made Catherine for you
>>740886254bait used to be good
>>740886254So you want Persona to be Shin Megami Tensei. Noted. So basically a SMT game with the Persona name.
Has nothing to do with that, this game originally is for a younger demographic. I'm glad I found p3 in high school.
>>740895067>I'm glad I found p3 in high school.This, I found P3 and 4 at the perfect time when I was the same age as the protagonists. It almost became like a "going into games" machine to me because the daily routines of having to go to school, do tasks and interact with friends reflected my own life so I was obsessed with it. When I played P5 I couldn't connect with it as much but I realize that was because I was in my mid 20s and not "with it" anymore, but I saw that people 10 years younger than me was having the same experience with P5 I had with P3 and 4
>>740889421starts at 3, peaks at 2(part 1)
>>740886254
If anything Persona for Westerners is more about experiencing something they never had. Japanese high school is a completely different experience to Western.
Do they really have school Mon-Sat there?
>>740886728persona is more about jung shit, you could easily transplant it onto any setting with a kind of routine.
>>740886254Ah yes, the totally not performative fan that just so happens to hate everything about his favorite series.
>>740886254>18 year old who just started college thinks he's a big boy adult now Even the childish 19 year old is inherently more adult and more mature. So when the 35+ year old Persona audience tells you how it is, you should just keep your meritless opinions to yourself.
guys i love Gran turismo butwhy i can't shot lasers from the cars?why i can't run over people?i hope the next one lets me get down from the car and play in fps mode killing rivals
>>740896978persona is a cancer on the main SMT body, its not abnormal for main series fans to wish persona was less gay and formulaic
Guys I totally love WW II movies, but can they lay off the fucking 1940s period pieces? UGH
>>740897059>guys i love racing games but my car must only touch the asphalt on the same course for all eternity.>asking for a different backdrop is the same as asking to shoot lazers and do backflips
High school is the only part of life that matters. I am 37 and I now see that high school was everything.
>>740886254Nigger just play a different game in the damn franchise SMT is more than just Persona
>>740897214>Why isn't this racing game mario kart>No I won't play Mario kartPlay one of the non persona smt games faggot
>>740897214i didn't asked for gran turismo to be turned into wipeout like OP suggested by "changing the setting"
>>740897261It's just funny how they operate under the false perception that the characters would magically be better (they wouldn't) if they were college characters. These are the same people who then turn around and think a manchild like kratos on par with japanese teen characterization is good. Or the manchild Batman with characterization on par with japanese teenager is good. Or Geralt, polish manchild with characterization on par with japanese teenager etc. Are somehow elevated media. It's actually hilarious.
sex with teenagers is hotter than sex in adulthood
>>740897374You seem to be missing the point of persona entirely. Its not about being a highschool kid, its about Jungian Psychology and people wearing masks within society. There are a billion institutions other than school where this would apply, you also don't need to have it take place in the same fucking japanese highschool for all eternity, at least set it in a weird school where they do interesting shit.Imagine if racing game fans were so autistic they never let it leave the training course because driving on real roads in another country is apparently turns it into mario kart or some shit.
>>740897713Or you get better yourself and get on board or get over it.
The modern Persona demographic isn't the Fatlus men now in their 40s that played the games in the 90s and 00s, it's regular people in their teens and 20s.
>>740897481college would be even worse than highschool, i dont want to play as stupid children, I want to play as an adult with an interesting job. Persona at a detective agency or a criminal law firm would be a billion times more interesting than studying for toddler tests with the same anime trope carboard cut-out kids we've seen a billion times in every anime ever made. Ive seen enough stories about loser japanese kids being bullied to last 5 lifetimes, we dont need more.
What is it about the superior in all aspects, fictional 2D japanese youth that causes the worthless normalfag to seethe impotently? On 4chan of all places no less? Have they no shame or self awareness?
>>740897936I noticed that people don't seem to know that the original releases didn't have the Japanese dub or that there are other things besides persona if they don't want to be in highschool
>>740898120Anime is mainstream now but normalfags seethe about anything remotely Japanese or weird despite calling themselves fans of it
>>740898297This random shitpost about how the official character voices from the core Japanese cast on western release will never make the lesser, ancillary EN dub matter or have value.
>>740898430*were unavailable on western release
>>740898297SMT is post apocalyptic, persona is contemporary, metaphor is fantasy. Persona should explore more contemporary settings than japanese high schools.
>>740886254You mean life?
>>740898509>Persona should explore more contemporary settings than japanese high schools.Most people who ask for this just want to romance the girls without being called a pedo by their peers
>Should I look for different games as I change >No, the franchises must change for me.
>>740898547I don't want romance in my games at all you dating sim loser. I want to interact with interesting characters and children aren't interesting.
I want to hang all secondaries on lamp posts rights after billionaires
>>740898547>somebody think of the nonexistant human rights of the fictional 2D japanese charactersAre normalfags just stupid?
>>740898658play xenoblade then fuck off retard
>>740886254Persona is for high schoolers in the first place let them fucking have their game man.
>>740886254Grow up, manbaby, you're 40 years old. Move on.
>>740898658Then play a fucking different game in the franchise or play a different series. I hate platformers but I don't demand all of Mario to be the RPG spinoffs
>>740898658You're over two decades too late to complain about anons preferring cute anime romances and characters in their media or to pretend it's a valid perspective to have on this website at all.
>>740886254There no other years to be nostalgic about, adult life is boring.
I really want a person game but with a protagonist like Ken and I get to be molested by a 15 year old girl, man p3 portable ruined me I’ll never be a kid again
Man remember when SMT had dozens of spinoffs. In another era they probably would've actually made the spin off of a spin off with an adult cast.
>>740898908I'm not complaining about it, i think its lame but im not asking them to remove it for people who want it. I was responding to the projections of a retard who is arguing with some imaginary person who is a big enough loser to need dating sim shit in their games but also a giant prude who wants to virtue signal about it.>>740898851Jungian psychology and contemporary settings with a dark zone is a cool setup and flexible enough to accommodate many settings. nobody is asking to turn persona into and FPS you disingenuous moron.
>>740886254soul hackers 2?
>>740899268>big enough loserOtaku wizard website
>>740886254You had years to jump ship to other similar games once sega tookover. Now its just another money laundering machine.
>>740898850Ironic.
>>740897047I am older than you retard.
>>740899529>all game genres are equally valid no they arent, some are for subhuman retards and dating sims are up there with h-games and gacha for the special ed olympic gold medal.
>>740899798hmmmn I highly doubt it.
>>740886254just say you find persona creepy for having romanceable young girls nigga
>>740886254I don't understand how these normalfags ever liked Persona when they fundamentally hate everything about the series. What do they see in it when they hate the characters, the themes, and the setting? Why do they pretend to like the games when they want it to be changed so drastically?
>>740886254>we'll never get a Persona game with mature themes and a different settingplease for the love of god personafags just try one SMT game
>>740900103They hate the idea of being left out of something by those they see beneath them. So once they worm their way in enough they try to force it change into something it never was to make it more appealing to the other people in the out group.
>>740900182I would be on to side but you posted a nigger reaction gif. You are a brown, a child, and you should kill yourself
>>740900103People grow up, we all watched a thousand anime set in high school and you get bored of it. I personally don't like persona and prefer SMT but I also don't like post apocalyptic settings so I always have to deal with either a shitty high school or an empty, dead city. Metaphor was the best atlus rpg in recent memory but im unlikely to ever get another so im gonna whine about changing the persona setting to something less generic.
Persona if it was real
>>740900487Then fuck off nigger and play a different series
>>740900513>real world non issues Wholly irrelevant and really has no place on this board or anywhere else. What a lowbrow shitpost
>>740900716No, i like atlus more than you. I think you should fuck off and play an actual dating sim.
>>740886254>we'll never get a Persona game with mature themes and a different settingPersona is SMT with a specific setting and themes, stop being retarded.
>>740897481>It's just funny how they operate under the false perception that the characters would magically be better (they wouldn't) if they were college characters.I'll actually steelman this take. When Atlus has done adult Persona users, they've usually been good to great characters. P2 had several and they were well-liked. People also liked Zenkichi in P5S. There is a valid reason to believe that a Persona game with an older cast would turn out better for it because they've already proven to an extent that they can make it work.That being said, 90% of the time, the begging for it is performative and coming from people who don't play these games and still wouldn't if they were given what they claim to want from them. So I also understand why Atlus doesn't bother.
>>740886254Yeah, it's a shame. They should also ditch the cringe jap shit and have it set somewhere else like America.
>>740900513>1500 a month>can barely survive living aloneHow much is this retard spending on onlyfans?
>>740897096Its literally a spin-off of SMT and was designed from the start to be totally different. SMT has its own main entries.
>>740903558SMT is also way more experimental and wide ranging than persona, they dont need to converge for persona to be more ambitious.
>>740886254Persona, a series about murder, lust, corruption, pedophilia, dancing crazy, and the darker aspects of human psychology.>It has a cute cat mascot character so it DOES NOT have any mature themes, obviously.Genuinely retarded.
