Why won't they make another Persona game with an all adult cast? It would open a lot of doors as far as subject matter they could cover.

nobody wants to play a game with old geezers and hags

[Anonymous No.7035730]

because 99% of the Persona fanbase is minors or adults with a minor's brain

Because the Japs want to relive their high school glory days and the western Fatluses want to fantasize about being a skinny Japanese schoolboy.

because adults who play jrpgs are not fully developed, they relate to teens more.

They struck gold with p3 and will probably never take significant risk anymore, but aging the previous cast was a very novel idea. The series gets less and less edgy with each iteration too, like going from buying guns off the black market to playing with toys to prevent the main cast from ever actually breaking the law.

>"WHY DON'T THEY MAKE A PERSONA IN COLLEGE AND/OR SET IN EUROPE/AMERICA?" AKA: I'm embarrassed that I enjoy a series for Japanese teens
Persona is Harry Potter for japs, live with it.

Except they literally already had a persona with an adult cast, so its not a farfetched request. They could do so much more with the formula without the constraints of being set in a high school.

Because Persona games are set in high school- that's sort of what defines them from the very first game.
Eternal Punishment was a successor entry to Innocent Sin so they aged the characters up a bit.
If you want the Persona cast to be older, then really the only route they can go with is by aging up previous characters.
Otherwise you have Catherine which is like a Persona spin-off anyway and stars 30-year-old boomers.

And the 3rd game breaks that trend. It really wouldn't be some series ruining move to have an adult cast.

Persona by nature is chuuni as fuck, adult characters gong to change that. In fact it just makes it more cringe.

[Anonymous No.7037030]

>>7035496
Because Persona 2 is garbage and it sold like shit compared to the much better newer games.
Why don't you just play mainline instead of endlessly bitching about a series that isn't for you and hasn't been in decades.

It wouldn't change it for the worse. If they announced a Persona with an adult cast right now people are not gonna cry about it, the response would be like "oh cool, I wonder what thats gonna be like.". You really overestimate the attachment people have to the whole high school thing.

You forget The Witcher 3 being a tremendous success.

You're perfectly capable of answering that question in your own. Abandon your hopes and move on, because Atlus is not the same company anymore.
