Thoughts on Persona 6 (Predictions, Leaks, or Just Thing You Think Might be Cool)

[weester9]

What does everyone think about Persona 6? Atlus HAS confirmed development on it, and there are teasers that hint that the color scheme may be green. I found an old article about how it was planned to be released in 2025, but game development is changeable and leaks aren't always very reliable. We can assume that it'll have a system similar to Showtimes and Theurgys assuming that the reception to them stays positive, but it's unclear what other gameplay elements it'll include. Personally, I'm hoping that it'll take place over the course of more than one year. Just wondering what the community at large thought about it.

I would love to see some kind of a side dungeon where you could fight the Fiends and once you beat them you would be able to unlock the ability to fuse them as a persona. As you progress though the story you unlock more areas of the dungeon to go through and the Fiends get stronger and stronger. I think it would be cool to have the chance to unlock persona fusions this way instead of just completing social links.

Also make the buffs work like in Nocturne where they buff the whole party and quite wasting time with single buff skills.

Nah, they will milking the game by remaking the Old game like P4 or P1&2 remaster

To be fair, Persona 2 could use a remake

Ok P1 and 2 remaster I get, those would be nice to make a comeback and become more accessible to play, but how in the Hee-Ho are they going to improve on Golden? Persona 4 Golden is a fine enough game as is. I don't see what else they could add to it to warrant the effort of remaking it.

P4G are definitive edition from the Original P4 like P3 to P3FES or P3P, how to improve Golden? by remake it with unreal engine + add some stuff like fully voice acted Slinks, add shift/baton pass to make the combat more smooth and engaging and probably removing the RNG system to get the "Great Blessing" on Shrine to improve Slinks could be nice addition too

Is there any actual important leaks or it's just obvious ♥♥♥♥ like OH IT'S IN HIGHSCHOOL?!.
What a shock, I could have leaked that ages ago....

IMO should improve or ditch turn based at this point, It's outdated now. Maybe modernized the combat from Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army or turn it into final fantasy 7 remake.

The turn based combat is a huge part of Persona's identity, to propose they ditch it entirely is stupid. It's not "outdated" it's just not for you, there's more than enough RPGs out there that you can play with real-time combat.

Here are a few things I would like to see out of P6. Be a first or a third year student at the high school that the game is set in. We haven't seen the Protag be a 1st or a 3rd year student in the modern Persona series (3-5) With P1 I think the protag was a 3rd year but not sure however Tatsuya in P2 Innocent Sin he was a 3rd year student. Also if the protag is a 3rd year student they are not a transfer student but a student who has been in the school for 2 years.

Nope the turn based system is apart of what Persona is they will NOT change it. Also turn based RPGs are NOT out of date. Sounds like that turn based RPGS are NOT for you.

Yeah probably in the next 3 or 4 years, I still believe ATLUS won’t miss the chance to milking Persona fans by releasing remake/remaster for older games, P3R are be like testing water for them lol

With P1 and P2 I wouldn't mind if they remastered those. Also not only that by re-releasing their older titles is also testing the waters of releasing games outside of the PlayStation format to see how successful it can be which will help with a PC release of Persona 6.

And it’s more easy for them to remake/remaster older games rather than developing entirely new P6, definitely easy cash grab for ATLUS.

It's very outdated. Shadows and bosses can't even do ♥♥♥♥ against theurgies and shift unless you're a Velvet attendant. If you have to specifically change difficulty to Merciless to even have some sort of difficulty then it's very clear the system is outdated.

Yeah, that would be real cool. They kinda did that with the Maruki and Akechi confidants in Royal and the Adichie link in Golden, but I feel like that was more to build trust with the character before *twist* they're the bAd GuY. Personally, I think it would be interesting if a central antagonist is apparent throughout the entire story, but you're forced to accept their help in order to fight the shadows.

meanwhile yakuza goes to turn base, sell one million units one week after release and the fastest-selling yakuza game ever and yet you say turn based is outdated
