This is from the reddit link: >The setting is again a "school", but this time is special. Is an art facility. We really (really) wanted to make it mor mature, but our bosses wanted to make it appeal to the "young fantasy era" so we came up with a mix of it. The idea of the art facility was having highschoolers in their late years and young adults in their college age, allowing us to appeal our bosses intentions and ours!. > The theme of the group this time are artits (musicians, painters... you sure can think two or three!) This sounds nearly identical to my interpretation of a Persona 6 Concept. Like I was developing it with a female protagonist and art was a big theme. Each character I had made did a different form of art. The MC was a painter, the Navi a model, one of the characters was a musician, etc. The only real difference I'm seeing here is that my characters don't go to an Art institute school. The third year high schoolers go to a regular school but all have a focus on art. The college students, one is there with an unknown path, but has a model job, and the other college student is in college to become musician. Mainly guitarist. After reading the reddit link and what the comments have to say, I'm not thinking this will have a lot to do with what we actually get for persona 6, and especially now with the Midori fiasco (which I thought was more recent than a month ago, so maybe there's one I don't know about). I can't imagine them doing two protagonists again, but it would be really cool if they did.

If art does play a big role, I think it'd be cool if each dungeon has a different art motif like cubism, abstract art, and pop art that represents the dungeon master's mental state. Imagine one dungeon being like an old superhero comic book than the next being Dali-esque where nothing seems to make sense.

[@demifolk8940]

i feel like that would work well if the color theme was black/white. that was a theory i had before it was confirmed to be green, art is another way for people to express themselves and having a persona game with that theme would work really well imo. art is a pretty broad term too it wouldn’t even have to be just drawing/painting, music, architecture, and even video games are considered art.

[@Ammy-q4w]

Maybe that would be for a dungeon but not all of them. They could have different types of art depending on the dungeon master since there's many different art styles. This game has the potential to be very beautiful.

What if the main protagonist are fraternal twins and you as the player can choose who you want to be. So you have reason to have such a large cast of persona users.

Interesting how this leaker talked a lot about the importance of 2s in the game, and a theme of green and black. And now we have Head on the Block talking about dual protagonists as well, in combination with mentions of a main green colour, but themes of black and white, like the yin yang. Recently, Midori posted an early Persona 6 logo design. Not only did she reply to someone speaking about the looped P and 6 in the logo with, “it is on the edge of yin and yang” (a tease?), but ALSO followed up the original tweet by saying “please look forward to more information on the future of the Persona series 💚🖤🤍”. To me, given her agreement that the colour of P6 is green, this almost seems like a soft confirmation of the duality/black&white theming as well? Only Head on the Block said both protagonists were playable in the same story. Really interesting links, anyway! With the green and yin Yang theming, it could be a really cool opportunity to look at some things green represents and its inverse: wealth vs poverty, nature vs industrialisation/technology, sickness vs health. Running with the idea of two protagonists, it makes me wonder (if they are twins) if they were separated at some point, raised apart, and now represent one side of each of those dualities. The most interesting one would be good/evil, because to play as a villain and a hero would be pretty cool, especially if that villain was akin to Maruki in moral grey-ness. As a side note, would LOVE a 1.5 year story instead of the usual April-December, and skip-through of the remaining months. Praying that with all these recent leaks it means that a reveal (at least a chair-like tease) is imminent (More Ahead live concert???? If we’re talking a chair-level tease).

[@Otoshi_Gami]

if true then its safe to say that half of year of school settings would be a Prologue to the bigger story while the Adult story setting for 1 year is the MAIN DISH of the story of what it means to be an adult. this would be interesting that will break the convention of persona series that always take place in April in school as a Teen Protag.

[@ArianAurelius]

With the green colour scheme on top of the main characters supposedly being artists, I speculate that the theme of the game could be on the corruption of capitalism and productivity in relation to adult life. How to society, money is the most important thing, not how happy you are with the job that you have or following your passions. The "dark" mechanic seems very interesting, it could tie to that theme somehow? Like how people become greedy? Not sure yet

[@demifolk8940]

green is also associated with nature, nature is used quite a lot in japanese media due to nature being a focus in buddhism. nature is also just generally used in writing to represent someones “true nature”. their naked self, or a version of themselves not tied down by social pressures and norms. it can be dark, but it also be an enlightened version of ones self. while that may sound similar to persona 4, theres a lot of other things they can do with nature. like nature vs nurture themes. that would work really well for persona and especially a high school setting.

According to that Reddit post you were talking about, the party members are artists. “Artist” is an actual Jungian archetype. Sometimes it’s called “creator”. According to Jungian psychology, the artist or creator archetype emphasizes talent and creativity. It seeks to craft one’s magnum opus. Bottom line, the archetype is all about creating stuff. I can imagine what the velvet room will look like in this game: The Velvet Room will take on the appearance of an art museum. The attendant would be dressed like a museum tour guide. P3 has Tartarus P4 has the Midnight Channel P5 has the Metaverse What would P6 have? Not sure, maybe a world that resembles a surrealistic art piece, courtesy of Salvador Dali’s works. If this is to be taken with a grain of salt then I would say the idea is decent.

I honestly hope these rumors turn out to be true. Already I'm liking the idea of a slightly older cast and an art-school setting instead of a typical high school. Visiting areas outside of Tokyo or even outside of Japan would be nice too, though I know with the exception of a few entries like Strange Journey, most of the SMT games tend to be set in Tokyo. I guess we'll just have to wait til next year to see how things turn out. But I'm quite excited either way. ATLUS tends to knock things out of the park, especially with Persona, and I'm sure they'll have more surprises for us going forward.

I can't remember where, but I'm pretty sure I've seen these rumors in some other video covering P6 news..? Like with the twin protagonists, one girl one boy. The idea would be that the 'other' twin becomes the one involved with the mysterious/magical part of the overall story, and you play as that twin during nighttime. This also works with the rumors about the open-world setting and the 'dark' zones mentioned here. The dark zones could refer to the nighttime versions of the areas you usually play in. Plus, the whole importance of duality in this game: green for the protagonist your choose and black or dark for the other one ...? Oh, also, the logo leak that just came out.

i'm really curious as to what the theme of persona 6 could be. i know the original persona also dealt with the question of the perception of reality, but starting with persona 3, the theme was of course "memento mori" it explored why we should live despite the inevitability of death. persona 4 explored the existence of "truth" and why we should still strive for truth despite it being illusive and sometimes even painful. persona 5 explored the concept of justice and freedom and p5 royal built on those themes by introducing and criticizing the alternate thought of "freedom" by the means of avoiding pain and distorting reality. p5r also feels like it has a more modern critique of psychiatry. it feels like the persona series has taken inspiration from philosophical movements throughout history in a chronological fashion and that atlus has constructed each game around those themes. If the theme of persona 6 really has to do with art, maybe it does not build on the past themes as the usual pattern has been, but instead attempts to subvert them in a way? could the new theme be related to post-modernism?

One is their initial persona, that evolves later on in the story like in P3, during a plot moment that's linked to a moment where the character matures Then the second persona is related to the party member's social link. This persona would be unlocked either around the second half of the link and get upgraded through the last few levels, or it would be a surprise, appearing in the 10th rank as they close the social link arc. Considering the "2 is an important number" thing mentioned in this video, I find this possibility to be more likely and probably more enjoyable.

It doesn't feel long at all!

[@Angie-ji7be]

I want so bad for these rumors to be true, especially about the art school setting and taking place during your last year of high school to first year of adulthood. That is literally where I am rn in my own life and I'd go insane if one of the party members turns out to be an animator too

[@j8c812]

I love the idea of new persona mechanics and if I had to guess it would be the ability to talk to personas beyond introductions and I think that would be so amazing. Could be as simple as digimon cyber sleuth and talking to digimon or as complex as a confidant either way it’s really cool! And the zone mechanic could maybe be a natural world and a futuristic world as the dungeons. The initial green seen seemed to be kind of like a neon green so that could be futuristic, while the dark could be forest or dark green. I think that would be so cool and could have some interesting story involvement with classical art styles vs newer ones.

[@therookie12347]

In past Japanese people believed having twins is a bad omen. Look at demon slayer with yoriichi and kokushibou(my favorite upper moon) one became the strongest demon slayer and the other became a demon. If we got twins as protagonists for persona 6 one becomes the hero and the other twin fights their sibling. That would be cool just the tone for persona 6 would be so dark

So it’s going to be like how fire emblem did their 2 main characters in Sacred Stones (Eirika and Ephraim). They also have green hair too🤔

[@alzara3425]

I wonder if the green is about Harmony and Fear?

[@fist-of-doom487]

Given how Persona likes to tackle real world topics and Persona 5 was inspired by a lot of recent societal issues at the time of its creation. I’m willing to bet it’s going to somehow involve the erosion of Japanese culture by foreign influence and in particular have at least one plot point discussing the flood of foreign content creators causing problems and just terrorizing the public. So Harmony and Fear would be a good connection to make there.

[@alzara3425]

@@fist-of-doom487 Oh damn you might be right

[@Ammy-q4w]

@@fist-of-doom487 The color green also represents nature. Japan has a lot of environmental issues with earthquakes and tsunamis in particular and there's also a great contrast between urban and rural locations. Would be interesting if they used the environment in the open world more since they typically do not for Persona games. Green also represents envy, which can definitely be used as a plot-point for villains or other characters. They will lash-out in desire for the money/power/fame others have, which creates fear. It would be interesting if they somehow combined all the things I mentioned.

[@Xenosaga]

Idk about that rumor… the multiple misspellings kinda throw me off

[@zeffyno8]

True, I would take it with a grain of salt honestly but after every leak/rumour since then, it sounds more and more convincing haha

[@tomatojuice1411]

I also doubt it, but If they are on the dev team, which is in japan; safe to say their first language is not English

[@BenkaiDebussy]

The mention of "zones" in that one possible leak seems consistent with the other leak that mentioned being semi-open-world.

[@KeeperOfUntoldDreams]

If they're gonna try something different with summoning Personas, I think it'd be cool if they made it so the characters actually turn into/merge with their Persona.

[@shaneyzamora2525]

I imagine one of the characters working some kind of desk job that they hate, but left their art career behind because they need money to pay bills. The realist of the bunch.

Once i saw the name hashino in it i was like "hell naw it's highschool social links all over again", especially when the team originally tried to move away from it. Atleast they opted to have both instead but one thing that i'm hoping for is that the game will follow back "on its roots" like actually exploring on the wacky concepts of psychology, jungian theories and what not just like P1 and P2 instead of being hung up on the "main story" way too much like how assassin's creed all but completely sidelines the present time story in favor of the abstergo simulations

[@Xxsorafan]

@@KevinGhulamyea I was disappointed seeing hashino back as well. Yea he’s made persona mainstream but he’s pretty much a one trick pony let’s be honest

[@Pimpgamer101]

4:48 people don’t understand. A lot of Japanese media depict high school life BECAUSE adult life is monotonous and difficult. Alot of adults look back on their high school days and consider it the best time of their life. And in a place like Japan where the work culture chews up and spits out people so much they literally die of overwork, it’s no wonder why so many are drawn to depictions of high school as an escape.

I wonder if the green color motif will have significance to the general theme of P6 as that color eludes to envy and disgust, so perhaps.

@@oberon_relic1161we dont know, however midori did confirm that sega and atlus have been trying or want to try out new dlc plans for flagship series. the wave of dlc for p3 reload are one example of this. you can argue its not a good dlc plan but since it features new story elements, people think thats what they will try to do. whether this translates to them not doing rereleases is another question. japanese devs just LOVE rereleases but maybe they wont do it. so theres no confirmation on it but take that for what its worth.
