but do it right this time by having a 4v4 bossfight. I also wouldn’t mind the idea of artificial users coming back at some point, but that’s not needed.
In general I’d also like them to pull more stuff lorewise from 1-3 in 6. Want something other than the TV World/Palace concept.
Who wants shuffle time?
I found this image where I think it was from weibo. The image mentioned things like the setting or the summoning method for personas with microphones or something. Is this fake/contradict with confirmed info. 2 of the pictures are just real life images and one image is just the grave from the teaser but the bottom right image I don't know where its from. I think it mentions something about the themes being about identity loss, and media manipulation and information or something. His this leak/image already circulated before.
I was watching Dandadan s2 for a bit and remembered that The characters powers are Yokai. Now im not too familiar with Yokai but something got me thinking that Persona 6 is supernatural and having Yokais as The party members Persona might fit and i mean Pretty well known or Famous Legendary Yokai's
Though I have two Theories about the MC's Persona. One is a Classic Monster and One is a Yokai. Idk, What do you think?
It’d be so cool to have a third one after Naoto and Akechi, and I feel like it would fit the game really well based on what we’ve seen so far. Give us more detectives, Atlus
BRING BACK COSTUME DIALOGUE PLEASE!!!
For those who don’t know what I’m referring to, we all know you have the option to equip different costumes on your party members. Back in OG p3 and p4, while you were traversing through Tartarus/TV World dungeons, you had the option to talk to your party members, and they would actually make comments on the costume they were wearing and comments on the costume you were wearing.
But for some reason they removed this feature in P5 (Though apparently they WERE planning to add it because there’s videos of unused costume dialogue on YT) and they didn’t bring it back in P3R.
This is a very small gripe but it’s just a little wish
Not only does the Atlus game I'm about to recommend not have hot springs, it also has no:
-Annoying beach bikini scene
-Fanservice
-God is the villain
-Bro being the butt of all jokes
-Overtly used tropes such as women getting angry at guys over forced coincidences
-Creepy sexual undertones
-Lack of difficulty
Sound too good to be true? It is, in fact, truer than you'd think. The game I recommend is called Metaphor ReFantazio, and I feel like a bit too many of you skipped over it despite it featuring a lot of what you're asking for out of Persona 6.
It is a fantastic game, even without a definitive edition (which is likely never coming anyway). Highly recommend it. It even has a fresh setting that you're not potentially bored of yet!
I can't wait for Persona fusions to be replaced by the hit new feature "Tanaka's Occult Commodities" in which you simply buy Personas for an upmarket price.
Fusion Alarms are replaced by Flash Sales and Fusion Accidents occur from Tanaka selling you faulty Personas.
It will truly be game of the year
I don't think we will get any info until after feb 2027 (p4r release) so what we all doing is only dilly dally on our assumptions until then. But!! I think we can infer some connection between everything that we have. Revisiting p5, i saw a correlation between the names, the associations, and overall theme. I'll oversimplify it:
- Theme: Prisoner & Rebellion - Prisoner can be seen in PV
- Mascot: Mona - can refer to the painting "Mona Lisa" that is invaluable in history
- Associations: Phantom thieves - A mystery thieves who steal valuable stuffs by sending calling card, often depicted stealing something from muzeum in general media.
Correlation: phantom thieves > may steal something valuable such as mona lisa > most wanted criminal by police to be put in prison.
So back to p6. We have
- Theme: Graveyard
- Mascot: >!Nilfer (water lily/lotus)!<
- Associations: ???
I was thinking on the costume and what each character will wear in metaverse and their association, until i realize there's a connection to buddhist term - samsara, if the themes of reincarnation is true.
>In the context of Indian religions and philosophies, saṃsāra is the concept of all beings experiencing an ongoing cycle of life, death, and rebirth.[1][4][5] As a result, it can also be equated broadly with transmigration/reincarnation, the karmic cycle, the lesser-used term Punarjanman, or a "cycle of aimless drifting, wandering or mundane existence".[1][4][6]
I'll go through the mascot first.
In buddhism
>Lotus, a plant that grows in muddy water may seems a dubious religious symbol. Its roots sink deep into the muck, yet its blossoms rise clean above the surface, unsoiled and vibrant. This natural process reflects the Buddhist path itself: our capacity to transform suffering into wisdom, to grow through difficulty rather than be trapped by it.
>In countless statues, the Buddha and bodhisattvas sit or stand upon an open lotus flower, symbolizing their transcendence over worldly suffering. The pedestal reminds viewers that enlightenment rests upon—but rises above—the muddy waters of samsara, the endless cycle of birth and rebirth.
In egypt
>Niloufar, Nilophur, Nelofar, Nilofar, Nilufar, Niloofar, Neelofar, Neiloufar or Nîlûfar (Persian: نیلوفر), meaning Precious, Rare, blue lotus, Nymphaea or water lily is a female given name of Persian origin, ultimately from Sanskrit: नीलोत्पल (nīlōtpala, “blue lotus”).
>Associated with Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses like Nefertem, depicted in funerary art and temple reliefs, and reflected in their healing rituals and fragrant perfumes, the lotus stood for purity, creation, and renewal. Its cyclical blooming and enduring beauty resonated with the Egyptians’ understanding of the natural world and served as a potent symbol of the soul’s rebirth, the kingdom’s prosperity, and the eternal rhythms that shaped their universe.
I only noticed these connection because i used to play Genshin, which has characters with lotus motive and an arc that delves heavily into buddhism, samsara, rebirth and enlightenment. You can research sumeru arc, nilou and scaramouche story if you are interested. Spoiler: >!It revolves a cycle of endless samsaras in order to defeat the villain, an evil who later "died" and became enlightened after rebith, adapting new design with heavy blue lotus motives as symbolism that they have evolved from their evil self. !<
Theory: MC will be trapped in a cycle of reincarnation until he fulfills his mission or enlightened. Maybe the villain in p6 will also reincarnate and is the enemy of mc in every lifetime.
However, i'm still thinking what the associations are? I know for sure it relates to Nilfer. A monk group fighting occultism? Each members has stylized monk outfit? Or is it more on the egyptian side? Does the mc look egyptian to you?
i personally think each of the team member metaverse appearance represent some historical figure in the past. but what comes to mind is black plague doctor, monk, jeanne d arc and some priest tbh (very random i know). Reason: they are all a savior from the evil doing of the same antagonist in the past. What do you think?
Image: Nilfer — Blue lotus nilotpala
This thought came to mind when i was thinking how in Persona, from the games i played. That spoiler alert The final enemies are >!Gods created by the Human Desire!<and sometimes it works, Sometimes it doesn't. Then the Idea of an Interdimensional Being came to mind, An Entity being the Final Enemy and a good change of pace from the previous ones. Like a Terrifying Looking Entity that is powerful and is the one who controls the Shadow world. I can't really spin this theory a lot but i like the idea of an Entity that is as terrifying as Anti Spiral and i do want the final bosses to be actually hard but knowing Modern atlus, there's like a slim chance but i do want the design and Atmosphere be terrifying just like >!Nyx!< from the OG Persona 3. But what do you think?
In my opinion Having Persona have a more late 2000s rnb or even jersey club / sexy drill (not drill at all, its more rnb focused) would be cool (music for exploring the city, school, social links, emotional moments)
but also nu metal and or post hardcore as boss battles would be so cool. Uk garage, trance music or deep house as well. Psychedelic rock would be a great pick too.
maybe even new rage music like slayr's bloodluxe / half blood/ nova (i doubt it lol) would be fire as rap tracks. what do yall think?
Artists like: Bring me the horizon, wolfacejoeyy, Usher, Pinkpantheress, relative ash, Riovaz, new found glory, Jodeci, also "Were taking over this joint" by her words kill is the perfect track for person 6 trust me!
the recent Chinese social media leak about >!the protagonist getting reincarnated!< Is real, how major do you think it would be. Would this Be something that would be part of a future trailer or shown very early on in the game as a hook for the story, or will it be a reveal that would be shown in the mid point to end game. mostly I saw the leak not too long ago as I feel so stupid for looking at it and even though it may not be real I still feel like I was spoiled. I haven’t seen any other leaks just this one.
Quick Clarification. This does not count Non party member persona users. Only Party members
We haven't got an adult Persona user since P2 from what i searched since i haven't played P2 yet In the Mainline Series. If we want to be technical of including the spinoffs, The last adult user appeared in a Persona game is Strikers and Tactica (Tho count P5X if you like. Correct me if i am wrong).
So Do you think P6 will have an Adult Persona user? For me i do want it, If the game is supernatural then it would be cool to have one Adult in the cast who can help out the main character to understand with these urban legends, Spirits, Ghost, Etc. I don't watch much of Dandadan But Granny Seiko is the adult for Momo, Okarun, Jiji, and Aira and helps them with all of these Spirits, Legends, and Vessels. Etc. That Adult acts as a Guide for our Cast in P6 go learn about these supernatural beings while also learning about how the shadow world works. What do you think?
(Edit: Quick correction and also Spoiler. >!I forgot to mention Adachi in P4 and Maruki in P5 if you want to BE really technical)!<
Atlus, it’s been 5 games. Give us at least one same sex romance option, let us queers feel included in the game.
And just to clarify, I mean actual hard confirmed gay social link. Yes I’m aware that Yosuke in Persona 4 could have been romancable but was removed as a romance option before launch, yes I know the Ren+Akechi ship is in the top 100 ships on AO3, I mean an actual social link that you can romance.
God bless the queers
