“Persona 6 will deal with mental health” Dr. Maruki entered the chat:

Literally every persona game in some aspect from persona 3:

That would also be cool if the characters are 3rd years trying to be young even though they are nearly adults.

[@lawrenceochoa8076]

hopefully straight up kawakami-age young adults, god knows I’d find it relatable

[@MoobOgler]

@@lawrenceochoa8076 I really want party members of all ages with a good focus on topics regarding reflection, change, and nature versus nurture in terms of personal growth dealing with not only skills and experiences you've gained but part of yourself you've hade to give up to make room for said growth. I also really really want a more customizable mc with multiple personality options and a non specific sexuality.

[@johnduanan3001]

Willing to bet that the green will symbolize luck, and how some folks are marginalized and oppressed purely because they were born into unfavorable systems. Would be cool seeing the MC and his crew change the "luck" of the disenfranchised whilst also dismantling the systems that oppressed them in the first place.

[@supermelon-senpai8369]

this is a good guess.

[@anonwalkerr]

Aight good enough, you’re hashino now. Chop chop.

[@Michael-bn1oi]

Green isn't associated with Luck in Japan, China, or any nearby country, so probably not. But maybe it will have more of a western spin

[@deathbykonami5487]

Nah that sounds too much like the premise for Persona 5

[@backupschmliff1156]

That was already touched upon in P5 though. P6 is also called Carbon internally, and given the state of the current world, it's likely to be about pollution to some extent. Additionally, P5 was supposed to be a globetrotting adventure originally, so maybe they are using that idea in P6.

[@ryuuotaku35]

6:32 definitely, Mental health might fit very well with Persona 6.

[@lostwheat5806]

Since green can also symbolize new beginnings, it's reflective on p6-p9 having a new creative team in the helm since hashino and his team are focusing on metaphor and other games. So there's a meta layer to green probably

[@axon589]

Am I the only one who wants a persona game with adults being the main characters struggling with their lives? Maybe having a super natural event sending them back in time and giving them all a second chance, some want to change history and some others don't.

[@Sir_Slimbread]

I want a mostly adult Main Cast, but not too old. I'd say early to mid 20's.

[@glitchbanana]

Yeah like college aged in their 20s with maybe a couple older ones in their early 30s

[@Sir_Slimbread]

@@glitchbanana Assuming we have a full party of 8, I think it'd be best if 5-6 of them are roughly the same age(20-23), 1-2 of them are a little older(not too old, but like you said, late 20's or early 30's), and the last slot should be held for a younger character(one that's the typical 2nd Year in Highschool).

[@ButIamAStick]

I think the only way we could get one with adults is in a Spin off, i son't think they would move from school, it works and the mechanics work for a High school itinerary rather and adult. With that said, i think a spin off of smaller scale and a reduce adult cast could be amazing.

[@Sir_Slimbread]

@@ButIamAStick Weren't some of the P2 cast adults?

[@classicnerd5875]

Being the color green, I personally see the game being about mental and spiritual health. Loving yourself. It would be cool if all the characters had disabilities or illnesses.

[@ScorbunGame]

I can see a major theme of Persona 6 in light of the pandemic being this- "How do you form and maintain bonds in the face of isolation?" Exploring how bonds can become strained because of bad circumstances and how it's important to to what you can to maintain those relationships. As for the conflict, I picture a strange supernatural illness that causes people to slowly become more and more scared and pull into themselves until they're mind is consumed by the Shadows, similar to Apathy Syndrome. This illness is caused by people becoming connected to a supernatural world within the Collective Unconcous, a world that's the collective fear and anxiety of the future. When victims become connected to this world their own unique area is created within it that traps their Shadow in a cage of their own fears and axinites, once the Shadow is consumed the victim dies.

[@glutebrute1259]

Green also represents "balance", and according to Midori the "theme" or P6 is goong to be "Black and White". I think it's interesting, then, that Jose from P5R fits that theme perfectly. He has Black, White and Grey as his color palette for his clothing, with the accents (Stars and Moons) being the Grey portions i.e. the "balance". To me given the theme of Jose looking to the stars to make wishes, and the psychological themes of Green...we might be looking at a Lovecraftian "Old One" being the final boss of a base Persona game again for the first time in a long time. From P5Rs final month based on the themes and vfx I got the impression that the new P-Team mostly carry P1 and P2 as their inspiration for Persona - it just had that feel to me. And if mental health is the main focus, or one of the main focuses of the story, then maybe...just maybe... Cthulhu or something similar could end up being the final boss. Or at least one of the end game personas we could create and use. I think this is all on point because SMT Dx2 made the 3D assets for Cthulhu a year (or two?) back, and that 3d model could easily be transferred over to a mainline game since I believe those assets are made with UE, and since Persona games are using UE going forward they could transfer those assets around.

[@phillemon7664]

I was thinking that we might fight an Outer God alien type being considering Jose mentions he was sent by something that can’t really be described by human words in order to learn about humans. Really interesting implications for Persona 6.

[@Zerorenren4761]

This sounds interesting.

[@stonalisa3729]

I can see Nyarlethotep being a red haring villian that could reveal to be something more in DLC. We already know they plan to add additional story content after Persona 6 releases

[@glutebrute1259]

@@phillemon7664 Yeah, with what Jose was saying I got the impression that whatever place he comes from is alternative to Philemon and Nyarlathotep's domains considering they are in dominion of the HUMANS collective consciousness. But something Alien would have a completely different spin on the whole thing, hence Jose being a scout sent to Earth to understand how the collective consciousness, and maybe even how their velvet room works. It's very interesting. Azathoth was probably a secret sneak preview to this concept. Because I'm not even sure it was a traditional Persona in the usual sense. It seemed to be much more than that - almost like it actually WAS Azathoth from deep space, but just a fragment of it.

[@asafesseidonsapphire]

​@@glutebrute1259 I mean Nyx is an Alien, well an Alien Planet basically but an Alien nevertheless.

[@vovan-tyan]

Green is also a color of disease. Maybe Persona 6 will have the same storytelling as Persona 4 (you come to a new town with not that much people living here and make many good friends) but it has the theme in Persona 3 (for example, the MC has cancer and in the end you will die and lose all your friends no matter what you do). This has SO much potential, I just can't wait to see how it comes out!

[@Zerorenren4761]

I think that considering the mental health theme being quite relevant today, the protagonist could be socially anxious and depressed or something like that, but it would still be kinda similiar to P3.

[@Evan-dh5sd]

@@Zerorenren4761 I don't think they'll go as far as to give the MC well-defined traits, at least when strictly talking about mainline entries.

[@13aozer]

Watching this video definitely raised my social stat in academics! You mentioned about mental health and technology that I didn’t notice both play as another role in the color green. I did figure that the color green can be associated with environment climate change. Now what if Persona 6 includes the deprecating declination of mental health through the use of technology; people relying on social media for self-esteem, especially during COVID times. Social media is a piece of technology that’s known for altering people’s mental health in a negative way, especially in children. I feel like that would be an interesting plot.

[@lewis9s]

I wonder what the dungeons will be like this time. Persona 4 & 5 had it revolving around characters, 4 friends and 5 villains. I wonder if they’ll go back to making something similar to Tartarus or if they’ll perhaps make the social links / confidants the dungeons?

[@carrot708]

The social links being dungeons sounds pretty interesting. 3 and 5 already had Tartarus (Fully explored up and down) so this one could maybe do a hybrid of Persona 1/2 and 4 where there's a 1:1 shadow version of the town but the places the social link's shadows are hiding are increasingly warped and become psychadelic multi-floor dungeons built around that target's issues. Towards the end of the game, Shadows enter the real world because that hasn't happened since Persona 2 (not counting 4's bad ending, or the Dark Hour)

[@Triceratopping]

Great video! If there is an environmental theme, it would then be cool for the new team to have various nature gods/spirits from different cultures as their Personas (just as the Phantom Thieves all got legendary rebels and tricksters), maybe with the MC getting Gaia as their final endgame persona? I saw another P6 prediction video the other day about the big bad being Nyarlathotep, what are your thoughts on that?

[@phillemon7664]

I think Nyarlathotep returning as a true final boss after a game specific shadow boss would be great imo. I personally think they should have the starting Personas for the cast be themed around fairy tales and have them evolve into actual Earth and nature gods and goddesses as they grow into their arcs. Persona 6 has so much potential.

[@zwei3179]

i hope the demons kresnik is used as the protag's persona and kudnik is used as the main non secret villain persona

[@marajj.5628]

Imagine if the theme of green will involve Frutiger Aero! That would be a surprise.

[@akachiivibes542]

I think that’s what they were going for in persona 3, specifically p3r

[@claymore4852]

I hope they go for the mental health problems route, it really fits Persona as a series and I hope the team formed by the main characters will be focused on healing people ( sort of like what the PT do with Futaba but with even more focus on healing the person rather than stealing their heart ), maybe with the velvet room taking the appearence of an hospital room. Also nature as a theme could still fit in, maybe not enviromental change and global warming/pollution, but still there's many ways in which they can make the characters, personas and shadows be very close to nature even by going for the mental health problems as a main theme

[@Zerorenren4761]

Maybe the characters would need to reconnect with real life people and nature in a society that is more and more mentally sick due to social media and lack of bonds with each other?

[@otakuson98]

Good video! ❤

[@NoName-px1to]

If I think green, maybe it can represent two things, nature and toxicity, if atlus gives much generosity for a mainline persona game, i think it can have 2 routes with (if or if not) 2 selectable siblings, and with having two routes, they should be: Natural Route (Good route), and Industrial Route (Evil route), that would make a perfect story and aesthetic too.

[@zxrainbowmouse-8921]

When I think of green I think of greed or sickness I could see a lot of ways it could be incorporated but nature could be a option but mental health would be the one I want to see the most

[@unicorntomboy9736]

The themes should revolve around nature and environmentalism, and tradition vs modernity, being set in a small, lush garden town, more akin to Persona 4

[@avacado370]

The concept that I want to see is the concept of finding belonging. I also would loke to see our first canonically non-Japanese protagonist.

[@akiriathorsteinson7611]

Perhaps isolation may play a role aswell, being away from everyone that was known, Elizabeth being determined to pursue a lonely road…

[@amycollins5984]

In my persona 6 story, It sat in the country village, that’s surrounded by nature, and also the main high doubt is actually a hidden place in the forest. Also emotionally has to do with fairytales green would be good for it that all purple for magic.

[@porkupine9083]

chair kun and door kun accepting bucket kun into the family brings a tear to my eye

[@ColinLack]

I think it's going to be about health, environment and socio-economic circumstances. Great video btw.

[@TheFainter94]

i sure hope P6 uses a similar concept of P3 where the "other side" creeps it's way into reality and not the other way around where the characters just go there

[@setsuna1212]

i hope it mental health via dreams/nightmares

[@kingofshonensandfluffybois]

I hope Persona 6 is in a rural japanese setting instead of the usual urban setting. I think it synergizes well with the color green, and would be awesome from an exploration standpoint.

[@sillychibby521]

to add more weight to your theory, Persona team said before that covid made them rethink how they wanted to approach Persona 6 story

[@pacofiesta6554]

also its the symbolism of greed is green

[@trishacamillespeaks]

I'm so sorry, I can't help but notice your English accent - it's so distinctly Filipino and it just makes me hope that maybe more Filipinos can open up to the Persona series and cultivate a bigger fanbase here!! Thank you for covering Persona amazingly through your videos!! You're amazing at this!

[@gildrop]

[@kite36]

Green would be cool, but I have a feeling it’ll be more surprising than that .

[@danielgrezda3339]

Controversial opinion, but I love villages and small towns as settings more than cities so I'm glad we can have another persona game in a rural setting.

[@properjellydontbeproper3652]

That background,they have graffiti. Jose liked to do graffiti. I think it play a big role in the next game. Art theme kinda & galaxy colors in the sky etc.

[@dug1855]

I thought it was gonna be associated with jealous or a period piece

[@Diabl0Mask]

Since Atlus likes to pretend Persona 1 and 2 don't exist, then it makes sense they'd go from Blue, Yellow, Red, to Green.

[@zwei3179]

What i think p6 will be is this with the two themes we know of is Black and white along with the color green. I think this game will be the overall darkest game along and i think the green theme will be about rebirth and with the fact we got persona 3 reload and a DLC soon. I think p3 will be connected to p6 Now with black and white there is only two demons i can think of that would fit the theme Kresnik and Kudnik both demons are vampires, Kresnik wears all white and kudnik wears all black if they ARENT FUCKING USED I'm going to be salty

[@larsthememelord3383]

I hope for p6 to have a theme of overcoming stagnancy and accepting change, the colour green also fits because its often seen as lethargic and associated with disease, I mostly hope that its not some nature vs technology thing because thats way too preachy and neither sides are wrong because both nature and technology are needed because without nature we wouldn’t survive but without the advancement of technology we would never get anywhere

[@ames_virosa]

I hope p6 is gonna take place in a more rural town like Inaba in p4 instead of going back to tokyo again

[@hypercomklu1159]

Green is the color of plants, i swear if our navigator for P6 isn't a plant I'm gonna lose it.

[@BlackCreater]

I do like most of the concepts you bring forth except for one small one. The idea that the protag will move out to a rural area because of pollution in the bigger cities seems extremely on the nose and not very realistic in a real current world setting. No one moves just because their enviroment has smog. Also, the protags are usually just there for a year and go back to wherever they came from. The only way I can see this setting working is if the protag might have a sickly constitution and gets send there by their parents to recover for a while.

[@Michael-bn1oi]

Or a natural disaster forced them to move etc

[@BlackCreater]

@@Michael-bn1oi Well no, that's exactly what I'm saying. Persona's since 3 have all been about the specific time period that the games released. They never go for alternate or future worlds, they're always set in the real current world.

I hope p6 really explores loneliness. The whole idea of being a transfer student really lends itself that. I also would like to see an MC that actually isn’t a master of everything from day 1. I mean Yu narukami is my favourite MC just because of how much he is flawed in the anime. Yu really did think of a lot of people around him as nothing more than social links and in the final episode we see how much he thought of himself as better than everyone even if he did love and care for them. I would really like the P6 MC to be the reverse of that.
