for some reason, many westoids are pissy in the replies claiming this new game will once again pass around a high-school instead of a college schooland I say, what's the point of complaining about the same thing that keeps getting added to the series if that's the whole purpose of it in the first place?
>>741410959>majority of the fanbase is in their late late 20's or 30's >despite that 95 % of them never played the originalsa fucking joke
Persona in particular attracts a lot of weird self insertershttps://youtu.be/HPiqtFdtIP0
>>741410850Why the fuck would they throw millions of sales directly in the dumpster by setting it in a university?
>>741410959Just stop eating so much
>>741411057Because 1 and 2 are just lukewarm SMT spin offs that play worse than the mainline.3 would never make it if it were more of the same nothing burger.
>>741410959Imagine the smell
>>741410850>This just in: The next Persona game will be a Persona gameNews so unexciting that even Genki couldn't muster up his usual fake enthusiasm
because they're not fans and are just looking for another series to destroy for the sake of muh representation
>>741411163>brandonyou know, persona fans used to put out some certified kino about 20 odd years ago
>>741410850The main thing that sucks is there will likely be no adult women romances after trannies complained about Kawakami.
>>741411872>free advertisingI somehow doubt there won't be one.
Why do Americans live to be parasites that corrupt and ruin everything people enjoy?
>>741410850You have to understand, these are repressed pedophiles who are mad that it's obvious to everyone now that they want to fuck high schoolers when they play these games. So they want it set in college so that it is 'societally acceptable' to lust after the immature girls and their immature stories.An honest man would just jack off and know it isn't something you do in real life. These people are not honest, however.
>>741411057>>741411264>>741411341they are americans, what do you expect?
>>741410850There was some anime a while back set in a college starring some big tiddied chick and the western fags still bitched about it because they thought she was a child. So having the next Persona game be in a college setting will still trigger these guys because they'll still find a reason to bitch about it being problematic. Catering to these schizos will just tank the sales
>>741412143>pedophiles>highschoolersKys twitteroid retard>>>/twitter/>>>/reddit/
>>741410959They look cool.
>>741410850>for some reason, many westoidsWhy are you antiwhite anon?Why insult your people needlessly?
>>741410850What are the Vegas odds that the game will have something to do with Wizard of Oz themes since it's main color is green this time?
>>741413197Oh, sorry, buddy, would you prefer 'ephebophiles'?
>pandering to people who enjoy the seriesAtlus is kinda based what the hell?
>>741411057Literally the first guy the camera pans over is dressed as Tatsuya though?
>>741413521>Mutt thinks his people are whitekek
I legit don't understand this criticism, persona from 3 onwards at least has always been escapism for salarymen reliving their youth days where they broke the rules and put themselves into the MC role, hell even the tired trope of killing god makes sense here since it's about breaking the order, at least on your teenage years before you become a cog in the system.
>game series that takes place in japanese highschool shocks everyone by taking place in japanese highschool as usual
>>741414050Um, i don't like being cognizant of the fact i want to fuck 15 year olds irl and especially other people being aware of the fact and i can't separate me wanting to matepress impregnate Chie (not real) from the real world.
>>741414050Only EP doesn't have a highschool setting and student protagonist, it didn't start with 3.
can't wait to see the day one persona 5 themed DLC spread, vros!
>>741410850genki raped me at a astrobot event, its a story i never wanted to tell.
>>741410850Forced drama that is specifically created on this board. Not real. You can't even start the OP with an image actually supporting what you're saying. Lazy.
>>741413657AKA a normal person according to the AMA
>>>/twatter/
>>741410850i mean college would be a cool change but im ok with high school yet again if it pisses off redditors
>>741410850Election tourists don't worth attention, they'll leave the moment the season ends and ADHD kicks in again.
>>741413112>There was some anime a while back set in a college starring some big tiddied chick and the western fags still bitched about it because they thought she was a child.you mean Uzaki-chan? yeah, that anime somehow managed to mindbreak several libtards on twitter back in 2020, when the covid pandemic was still a thing.hell, I've even seen artists, which they're all had a HORRID artstyle btw, redrawing the character claiming they have """fixed""" her design by turning into an """actual""" adult or some shit excuse they has in mindbut hey, at least it didnt stopped to become a major success as far as doing a collab with Dead or Alive and having the iconic "Sugoi Dekai" shirt being selled worldwide
>>741410850Because I'm a grown up man with kids and wife. I'm not a pedo. I don't want tor run around with teenagers. It's wrong. It's disgusting.
>>741410850>what's the point of complaining about the same thing that keeps getting added to the series if that's the whole purpose of it in the first place?none of the people on tweeter played it but a persona centered on adults worked fine in the case of P2 part 2, but the newer games are very much a different thing than the oldsonas so it makes sense they recycle the setting for the sake of the calendar system they got going on.
>>741415068top and bottom aren't even that bad, you guys desperately need to take a break from social media it's clearly not good for you.
>>741410850>You mean I can't morally want to fuck these characters? Game ruinedAs much as the terminally online try to act like moral upstanding citizens, all they want to do is goon
>>741415351Kill yourself you spiteful mutant.
>>741415490see what I mean? a life lived being mad at internet posts is a sad one, and that's all twitter is for you. a thing to look at and get mad at. you had a screenshot of fucking 6 year old twitter posts ready to go the second someone mentioned the show. that isn't healthy!
>>741415351bottom isn't bad but kinda ugly art. Top and middle just make her a fat girl though
>>741415564You worship ugliness because that's all you are. Kill yourself you spiteful mutant.
>>741415641brother there is only person acting spiteful here, and it isn't me
>>741415705Kill yourself you spiteful mutant.
Because they want to jack off to the girls without feeling bad, that's it
>>741415351>you guys desperately need to take a break from social media it's clearly not good for you.>said by someone who's still posting on a anonymous imageboard at fucking 5 AM
>>741410850Persona is a coming of age story and most of its western fanbase don't come of age until well after high school.
>>741415747>bro doesn't know what a timezone isit's 2AM here and today's a holiday, I got a long weekend. and yeah I would argue I use this place in much healthier way than most
>>741411057Majority of modern breakthrough legacy IPs are like that unfortunately. Just look how Devil May Cry 5 outsold entire series combined lol. Same with original Yakuza 0 release and other IPs that were relatively niche but had big breakthrough with one particular game in series. People dont like the IP as a whole - they just like that particular game lol.
>>741410850>Persona 6 is set in modern Japan as school of students facing dark and strange incidents
>>741415841people in general don't like or play older games. Persona 3 is the first persona game was a joke for awhile, but even THAT wasn't new enough for people so now they play P3R instead while P5 is the new first game in the franchise. doesn't help that the only basically none of the old games on modern hardware, normalfags and emulation are like water and oil.
>>741415724I guess person was a misnomer, my bad.
>>741410850The only thing people should be complaining about is the fact these dogshit games exist.
>>741415137only if you go in with the intent to sexualize, which you supposedly are despite having a wife and kids
For a game about self inserting. They not give that much dialogue choices
>>741410850Normgroids don't want to feel "weird" about dating a high schooler.
>>741416080It's not a series about self inserting. The MCs all have canonical names and personalities. From persona 1 to 5.
>>741416142but on the other hand, who cares about what tourists want
>>741416080>>741416208yeah it's more of the modern Bioware style of choosing what flavor of MC you want, just still not given any spoken lines for some reason. Kind of a weird half-self insert half-predefined character kind of deal. very weird
>>741411218because redditors feel uncomfortable jerking off to 17yo character.
>>741416358> feel uncomfortable jerking offSmall correction, they feel uncomfortable publicly jerking off to female 17 yo*, they are fine doing it while none is looking. But they want their jerking off to Persona characters to be socially acceptable *jerking off to male 17 yo is acceptable to twitter/reddit/bluesky
>>741416208>canonical namesNo they don't. No manga names aren't game canon.
ATLUS should just make a new Devil SummonerNo soul hackers, no Raidou, just straight up Devil Summoner.And add a youtube channel managment mechanic ao you can RP as the Irate Gamer
>>741416632I can't speak on 3 or 5 but Narukami from 4 has been called that in like, 3 different fighting games.
>>741413657You mean normal? Dumb plebbitor
I just hate the whole amogus shit they pulled again in P5. I really don’t have any confidence with Atlus after Metaphor and P3R.
>>741416689>non-canon non-rpg spinoff games don't leave the protagonist with a blank nameOk and?
>>741411057Of course they haven't.The original P4 had quite a few jokes and situations at the expense of faggots and trannies, and, as all remakes/remasters/reboots do (especially for this series) it will be scrubbed completely of the icky gross problematic content in the original, and raped with gay race communism approved dialogue and themes instead, just like what happened to P3.
>>741410850
>>741417105The irony is that none of the 30+ year old faggots whining about "muh child/teenage heroes/protagonists" are remotely mature or "adult"ish, especially not displaying this "LOOK HOW SERIOUS I AM" behavior.
>>741410850>I LOOOVE PERSONA SERIESS>NOOO THE GAME GOTTA CHANGE TO CATER TO MY NEEDSFucking westoid tranny faggots.
>>741411057What even are "the originals", Persona 1 itself is like the 23rd installment in the series
>>741417845If someone asks you about the original mariokart game you think of arcade donkey kong?
Why can't these niggas literally just play anything else>the jrpg series that's been about high schoolers since day fucking 1 is still about high schoolers
>>741417975Persona 2 Eternal Punishment isn't about highschoolers thoughbeit
>>741418165>Implying anyone played persona 2
>>741417510best summary of the situation. i hate americucks, they're always so entitled.
>>741410850these people always have to change things to appeal to them and moralfag any 'problematic' content, it's a scourge upon any fandom that gets big enough
>>741410850I really don't get the obsession with college.High schooolers are already developed physically.And the thing is, even if it was a college setting there's no way the main characters would be drinking or doing drugs. So what gives.I guess the only explanation for people being so focused on a college Persona is really the fact that they feel ashamed of fapping to "underage" characters. Which is crazy to someone like me, whos is not ashamed of his healthy male sexuality - highschool girls are HOT AS FUCK.
>>741410959Imagine the dandruff
>>741419743It always comes off reading like "I want characters who are morally okay to goon to in my friend group"
>>741420652yeah, there's so much seethe on tiktok over how they'll self insert into the game and then start projecting by calling other people weird or pedos if they decide to romance the high schoolers but apparently it's also bad to date the adults because then it's an age gap relationship. it's a common thing in fandoms as well on twitter where they'll do anything to not be seen as weird or creepy while still engaging within that same so-called 'problematic' media. it's ridiculous. normal people don't care about these things and even if they find the high schoolers hot literally so what lol.
>>741419907I think they're just innately homosexual and think that if they were forced to do a college setting they'd get more burger pandering which means more niggers and faggots. It's the baby step to force them to change it so they can make larger demands.
>>741417975They dont even play Persona, its mostly secondaries who just want to fit in. Its like complaining that Pokemon protags are kids or teens instead of mid 30s millennials or some shit
>>741410850Anyone that complains about the school setting is a tourist that doesnt want to admit that they are attracted to fictional characters that are teenagers because that constitutes as thought crime for them.
>>741416080Japanese self insert RPGs skip a lot of details that western RPGs have (and imp they're all the better for it).
>>741413657Biology with regards to human sexual development is divided into pre- and post-pubescence. It is perfectly normal to be attracted to a post-pubescent female in the prime of her fertility. While there are good social reasons why we shouldn't have 30 year old dudes fucking 14 year old girls, trying to pathologize the attraction itself isn't helpful to anyone.
>>741410850>set in modern Japan as school students facing dark and strange incidentsThat's literally every single Persona gameThat's as nondescript as it gets
>>741410959>Guy in the front by himself dressed as demi-fiend.At least one of them has good taste.
>>741410850It's more kino when you see things from the childrens perspective. Would South Park have been as good if the kids were adults? Yeah I know it sucks ass now but it did used to be good
>>741410850College would be even worse, get rid of schools entirely. Just let the MC work an interesting job in a cool office.
>>741410850>GenkiOh look, the notorious Final Fantasy shill.
>>741410850I hope their description means we're going back to a slightly darker tone. I don't expect P2, but even matching the level P3 had would be great
>>741410850>why isn't this Japanese anime game about MEEEEEE
>>741410850I get the whining is dumb but it kinda makes sense.They're basically doing the the rumor mongering of P2 and P1 again. Like cmon, they'll run out of ideas eventually by always keeping it that way.
why'd anybody play persona when the smt franchise exists which is basically the same shit but with the trash parts of persona (high school weeb simulator) removed?
Literally what changes if persona happens in college >It could focus on more mature themesLIKE WHAT MOTHERFUCKER DRUGS? SEXUAL ABUSE? THAT SHIT ALREADY HAPPENS IN THE PERSONA GAMES WE HAVE THE CHARACTER EVEN GO TO WORK AND SHIT, THESE PEOPLE JUST WANT THE CHARACTERS TO BE ADULT JUST SO THEY CAN FEEL BETTER AFTER SEEING SOMETHING THEY CONSIDER PROBLEMATIC IN THE STORY OVER THE CHARACTER BEING UNDERAGED
>>741425482>only one actual smt fag in the crowdThat depressed me honestly.
I'm on the phone to the French Embassy as we speak ordering them to get Expedition 34 out on the double so all the annoying niggers that need their JRPG to be 'mature' and 'grown-up' are distracted.
>>741418186I did and they both fucking sucked.
>>741410850They get angry that it's about high school because they want to goon to the characters but are afraid of young girls. Have you ever seen someone before and after they knew a characters age? It's hilarious. They'll be talking about how hot a character is, then once they know the age the spaghetti drops and they'll never ever talk about that character ever again. A hot girl they were all over is suddenly no longer attractive just because a number was assigned to her.what a joke.
>>741416827The spin offs are considered canon, nice goalpost move btw
>>741429825They have no canon names in the actual persona games, period. Except for Maya and Tatsuya of course. If you consider spinoffs and derivative products they have multiple names depending on which product it is>spin offs are considered canonNo
>>7414110571 and 2 fucking suck and you faggots need to stop being contrarians
>>741410959>willing to bet several of these creatures watched Trinity Soul and thought it was a good show
>>741417510I genuinely have no idea what the fuck is the deal with this obsession that Persona needs to take place in College.
>>741431114College is the safe horny age range
>>741410850High-School slice of life is a Japanese staple. If you don't like it, go play something else. Bunch of entitled assholes.
>>741432491lmao glad these tourists are getting filtered again.
>>7414143013\4 the people who go on "But Eternal Punishment!" have not played it.
>>741410850>Persona 7 has you play as a balding divorced salaryman>His party is made up of his middle aged overweight coworkers>SLinks include your ex wife, your boss, your estranged kids, your ex's new husband>Lifetime sales, 10,000 copies
>>741432491>IM SICK OF SCHOOL SETTINGS>MAKE IT TAKE PLACE IN ANOTHER SCHOOL SETTINGI think you're right because it makes no sense to not offer a more exciting alternative
>>741416080"Thou are I and I am Thou" actually means the MC has some traits you must incorporate i to yourself and the MC incorporates traits of yours into him.Thats why the MCs are half player avatar and half ingame character.
>>741428119People are reading way too deep into the rumor line.Remember Persona 4 started with the Midnight Channel rumor.The rumor turning real stuff isn't guaranteed.
>>741433285Yeah literally the only difference would be that they're at minimum 18 in college, that's literally it.
>>741413625Oooh, that's a great pull.There was some stuff in the leaks about that one girl (black/red hair) being so prominent and on the same stuff as MC because she's a "protagonist" just not a player character, and with it being the big 30th anni game so my current thing is if she'll serve a similar role as Maki and they'll do a soft/thematic remake of Persona 1's elements rather than an actual P1R
>>741410959Based, subhumans can't understand the concept of fun.
>>741410959why do white-americans always so fucking ugly?
>>741410850>Game is about high school life and caters to teenagers>"Noooo, why its not about m.... college life!?!">"Noo, why does it not cater to m... adults?!?"
>>741411057Oh no someone watched a James Bond movie without watching every single James Bond movie that came before it despite these stories not being directly connected oh god oh no the pain
>>741433513Sounds cucked
>>741410850There's something very weird about young people bitching constantly about anime being about teenagers. Persona is the equivalent of a shonen anime, it's not for you, you're just in for the ride, the target is young men, not menopausic feminist women.
>>741415351>top and bottom aren't even that bad, you guys desperately need to take a break from social media it's clearly not good for you.
>>741410850reminder the same people complaining about the lack of adults in persona are the ones who keeps calling every petite adult in japanese media children just because they bodies looks like baby-like and also every female character with a smooth and cute face like evie from stellar blade. so yeah, they're just completely xenophobic towards east asians.
>>741416519The fact that they think this is the equivalent to jerking off to children is what brings so many of them to actual pedophilia. The more they feel like pedophiles the louder they have to be against it too. It's a psychological phenomenon.
>>741410850>if that's the whole purpose of it in the first place?Persona wasn't made for high school, it started there to establish where decisions on who you'll be in life begin, how they develop or go wrong by contrasting the playable youths to adult NPCs.P2:EP exists precisely to show the evolution of the thesis by better examining adults stuck in a rut.Persona's predecessor, SMT If..., would be a better example of high school necessity, since it's about how it can mess people up. There was an anon in the smt generals who did a good job of spotting all the ways the main antagonist illustrates how neglect, abuse and frustrations of that part of youth result in contempt for your peers and guardians and a grocery list of complexes about yourself, less so to discuss concepts of the Shadow and Persona and more just an analysis presented as a supernatural psychological thriller. SMT1, 3 and V have similar elements, but with 1 it's mostly Chaos Hero going through it and eventually it's less about adolescent trauma and just being a victim of circumstances, meanwhile 3 and V meander from the premise of how the youth have been failed to focus on more existential matters.
>>741415729Just imagine them at 18 years old and they're indistinguishable because they're anime characters. It's not rocket science.Hell it was always okay to jack off to Makoto Niijima because she's a senior and joins your party already a legal adult, but she looks the same age as Kasumi.Also, none of the Persona characters act like real teenagers, they all act like young adults. Teenagers go around egging people's houses and cause mischief in general. Persona characters are far more mature than that so it's still okay to find them attractive even if you're in your 40s.Teenagers only in name.
>>741438996i like it how the moment the cameraman move to another angle while he passes, he suddenly pauses and look to the camera thinking he'll follow him, until he goes back walking again without saying anything
>>741410850I would want it to be older kids just because I'm tired of this jrpg trope of kids saving the world. When we all know kids are retarded and weak so them saving the world just seems dumb to me. Plus they make the kids usually act like adults anyway so just make them older.
>>741410850>>741412143basically this
>>741410850Who says "college school"?
>>741439817Youre getting mad at tropes that have been largely dead since like the PS2 era.Trials, Atelier, Xeno, Final Fantasy, Tales of. Pretty much every notable JRPG has adult protag these days.Persona is actually unique for not following suit.
>>741415351i guess if anime women make you insecure then those redesigns arent bad.I mean surely between mocking people that spitefully redesign a character because the original makes them self conscious and people that spitefully redesign a character because the original makes them self conscious, surely the former is the one thats unhealthy. youre a very serious person and not a complete faggot at all.
>>741415840Bro youre defending trannies that seethe at cartoon women because it makes them feel insecure. Youre trying to be a queen. No one envies you bro.
>>741439330Dunno, I just feel like they liked Jojo post part 3, which had a high schooler.
I was able to play a little bit of P6 recently and I will answer one question.
>>741442071was it fun?
>>741442071Lies
>>741442519Yes.
if I was a Atlus screenwriter, I would simply turn both Sawako and Rei being a couple canon, so I can piss off those vermins who never enjoys the story of the game out of the community
>>741419907Not to mention theres no underdog element in it. A big aspect of Persona, especially persona 5, is young idealistic kids fighting against cynical, jaded adults. College is like a mix of arrested development where you're doing much of the same things you were doing as a kid, but now theres far less societal restrictions on you, even though you have more work. Its a fucking bland setting. College is a place for kids pretending to be adults and adults pretending to be kids. Its a far less exciting moment of your life because youre not really a kid, youre in this weird in between state and you mostly just end up as the worst of both worlds. I dont know how it is in Japan, but college sucks. Its no coincidence no Anime or manga is ever set in it. Theres nothing exciting or mysterious about college. If anything its the start of all the cynicism thats going to be taking over your life for the next decade or so before youre either grown up or ran through. College kids are inherently less interesting than highschool kids as a group of protagonists. Theyre less likeable and less relatable. I guess the one exception to this that i can think of is An Extremely goofy movie. But that was mostly Maxs and Goofys story rather than a group of protagonists. One is trying to grow up too fast and the other is remembering his own youth. But even then a big part of it was Max being a complete shit to his dad becuase he wants to be seen as a grown up. imagine a Persona game where theres 7 of them.
