I want to see someone in their final year of school, then they move to college and get exposed to adult life

I would like young adult characters. In the range of 18-24, they’re not much different from teens-other than having much more freedom to do more. They can even be in a environment where they are FORCED to bond as a team 😂 idk, I’m just throwing ideas.

After Zenkichi and the positive reception to him, there's no doubt in my mind that there's a lot of fans eager to see more adult party members. He brought a uniquely interesting dynamic to the Phantom Thieves, by adding a somewhat jaded adult to the optimistic and rebellious party. While he opens the teens' eyes to the fact that always standing up to injustice isn't as easy as they make it sound, they in turn open his eyes by showing that there are some lines that cannot be crossed and that a life spent only running and hiding is no life at all. Besides that, seeing Zenkichi go from bemoaning these chaotic kids to joining in with their hijinks is so wholesome. He and Ryuji arguing over how they each approached / screwed up Konoe's calling card announcement was such a hilariously heart-warming highlight. Throwing away his career prospects, and risking jail time at that, to save the Thieves from arrest was yet another great moment. And I feel most of his best moments and interactions with the party, would be really diminished if he was just another teen. TLDR: Zenkichi was awesome, we want more adult party members.

I had an idea where if Persona 6 takes place on a college setting in the time frame of 2022-2026, it’d be the perfect opportunity to have Nanako as a party member. It’d be interesting to see more connectivity in the games to an extent while I also think Nanako could be implemented without alienating new players if the setting is far enough away from Inaba and Okina.

Japan is a workaholic country , it wouldn't really work well if the game has both the adult cast and the calendar system. Also atlus can't cheap out on npcs because adults don't wear school uniforms lol

What if the villains in Persona 6 are twisted versions of heroes from other franchises, and like wise what if the party's persona's were inspired by the villains from said franchise's (i know persona 5 has the whole famous thieves/underworld theme already, but i want to see a persona inspired by bowser beating up a corrupt mario esque villain, and the navigators persona being inspired by eggman from sonic, or oryx: the taken king from destiny), also i want multiple navigators, and the ability to have the navigator be in the battle, with a role similar to a white mage.

I know these ideas probably won't make it in but imma do it anyways because why not : -. At the end of a social link, it doesn't feel like after you've finished with them, there is anything left to do so what if you simply just spend time with a character to obtain a unique items that you cannot find anywhere else in game -. Perhaps the mascot character finally has a use when you talk to them and it's not their social link. Kinda like Sophia but maybe it's a way to keep track of side quests and gain rewards for it. Which brings me to the next topic... -. Introducing side quests as a game mechanic, funny and interesting dialogue, a reason to travel to different towns and do certain activities, just something they player can have fun with outside of the main story, for example : You have to catch the biggest type of fish in the game for this one guy -. This is a bit more story oriented but I personally would love to see the game break the forth wall and have the "metaverse" be accessible through a gaming console, maybe a VR headset. What i really thought would be interesting is if the characters find this trendy VR headset that is incredibly cheap and popular around the town and when they go to sleep, they access the metaverse which are the town's people dreams -. S.E.E.S. is a secret organisation that eliminates shadows, The Investigation Team wants to the mystery and find the truth, the phatom thieves steal and rebel against their society, why not a group of bounty hunters that wish to protect and save people -. I know people want an option for a female protag, but what about choosing between a male, female and non-binary protagonist, this way the player has to experience tge different situations and dialogue depending on people, whether is be a party member sticking up for you against a close minded teacher, or perhaps seeing how male and female students react when you get more popular

I had a idea for a awesome new mechanic. I call them, spirit fighters. You would get a spirit fighter once you max out a social link. The spirit fighter would be of that character you max out (except if they were already a party member). You could summon 1 spirit fighter in a battle for a large amount for you Sp. They would act as a extra party member you could use and they would work well to give you an extra advantage with enemies that are basically damage sponges. These members would have preselected weapons and personas that could not be changed. This would add some strategy because you would want to pick the one that would work the best in that battle. This would also make you want to get more characters to max social link so you can get more spirit fighters so you can have more options. They would not level up on their own but instead automatically jump to whatever level the party leader was. Now, these would not be the real characters. But instead imaginary versions of them that only become real because they are personified to be real, like the guns in Persona 5. So this would only work in a game we’re the dungeons are some sort of imaginary. In my persona 6, the palaces would be fantasy’s that the people have immersed themselves in so they can ignore their trauma. You defeated shadows so that these people are forced to face their trauma and to move on.

A college setting would be great! I think the 18-24 range for the main cast would be a great stage in life to explore more mature themes

"We need a Persona with adults to tackle drug abuse, depression, and domestic abuse!" Shinjiro, Makoto, and Junpei: 😐

Group Social Link events would be great!

This series seems fun

And if we do have a main cast composed of older characters it would be a nice harkening back to Eternal Punishment which had the playable characters be primarily composed of adults. Also having the cast interact outside the main plot would be nice to make them seem more real.

First one here and I love these ideas

I would love to see alternative social links make a return like the club SL from p4.

Might sound wierd but I would like the clubs from persona 4 and the smaller scale to come back. Like maybe youre a member of the dream club and at night instead of just you going to sleep thats when the dungeon crawl starts so you still have plenty of time after school and evening to do what you want. Like make it have the scale of persona 5 but give it the small town feel of persona 4. Maybe make it so you can go to other peoples houses or just hang out at different spots and it would make sense to run into different people because of the smaller scale. In persona 5 each villian just keeps getting bigger and bigger but in persona 4 it kind of all centers around 1 lower tier main villian so something like that would be pretty dope. Maybe it could start with people having weird dreams and then you realise that youre in some sort of dream world with whoever your friends are.

Maybe they could rework tried machine where can wake up early to do like exercises or do some chores in the morning or you can stay up late watching TV/ play some video games but can't keep doing without negatives like for example you can become sick and you have stay in bed for the day

Here's an idea if Persona 6 does have an adult cast member or goes a darker route I'm curious what would you think if the party members personas focus are Egyptian gods and myths there's literally a lot of gods and myths they could pull from that mythology and if the series does go down a darker path for the adult route or both I think personas from that setting could work well. Honestly one of the things that interest me about persona 6 is what type of personas will the party use

To people wanting an adult cast persona have we not learned from soul hackers 2

I hope my absurdly long comment makes it into a video. I put a lot of thought and time into those ideas

Would really like the romance system to be revamped, like if your dating a party member the rest of the party see you as a couple instead of being completely secret, i know this would probably get rid of a harem ending but if you really wanted to you could always date people from different friend groups who wouldn't be able to realise whats going on for example if it where in p5 then you could safely date Haru and Chihaya because how the two have no interactions but if you where dating haru then try to romance Makoto then she'd reject you as she knows your dating haru

I hope that there will be LGBT+ romance options and or themes explored in Persona 6!

I had this desire for a persona game since after 5R. Making more grown up protagonists. Or at least being instead of the rag tag gang of adolescents. Them being in collage/working class society or wanderers on a road trip. And there is precedent to having grown ups with eternal punishment with your party being mid 20's to late 30s with Baofu and an aged up Persona 1 gang. Haven't played it and don't know how that game did. But still an idea for a change of pace.

The nightlife mechanic like in p3 would fix so much

Sounds interesting. A persona Game with Adult Protagonists Definitely could be the Darkest of the series.

You people will never stop.

The old games are already dark. People just don't wanna feel like pedos when bonding with teens

Just crossover with Rockstar and make gtasona VII

If Persona 6 doesn't let you date minors the game's gonna flop, we all know what the Persona fandom is like

They already did an older cast in Soul Hacker 2 and sega deems that game a failure even tho it sales were great. So they'll likely stick to whats safe and do high school again
