I've always wondered why most anime/video game protagonists are teens, and anyone who is roughly 28 or older is considered an "old man". I don't mind it I just have never understood it.

because in japan, once you're in college your course is set for the rest of your life

for japanese people, high school represents the last time they had any agency or control over their lives

>>375717812
High school is the last time Japs have true freedom to have fun lives before becoming soul crushing salary men.

>>375717812
>I've always wondered why most anime/video game protagonists are teens

Thats their target audience. It's really that simple.

>>375717852
>for japanese people, high school represents the last time they had any agency or control over their lives

Also this. Stories about highschool kids doing cool things is an escapist fantasy. You're a cool guy with friends who all have super powers and all the girls are pretty and everything is great.

To be fair, the game ends with them saying its up to the adults to make a change.

>>375717554
So I can masturbate to them

>>375717812

The target audience.

>>375717812
>>375717554
Because videogames and anime are done to appeal to teenagers, they are the demographic.

>>375717554
Try working in a Japanese corporation

>>375717782
>fuck God

>>375717554
Because everyone was a teen and had to dealt with some shitty adult at some point in their life.

Don't lie. I bet even you had some adult you wanted to get back at but couldn't.

Were we all like this.

Aren't adults evil tho?
I am an adult and manipulated my underage cousin into sexual things. Her parents were about to divorce and she was about to move to another city so at that time she was mentally weak.

>>375718960
Not everyone is as much of a piece of shit as you, telling yourself that is only masturbatory validation to make yourself feel better

I never got the idea that the Phantom Thieves were targeting adults specifically. They targeted unjust people who used others, and typically speaking, teens aren't in a position to be using their influence on anybody for anything real or important.

Only Ryuji ever specifically harped on adults, and that's just because he's a punk.

>>375718960
Just ask yourself this? Has a kid ever started any war in history?

>game is about phantom thieves and how they want to target adults

>only 2 adults in the entire game did they target without being forced to

I don't get the mentality that anyone over the age of 25 is an old fart, when a (male) usually lives about 70 years on average.

>>375719263
Bush started a war in Iraq

Have you seen the average Japanese adult? They have a point but you're missing it.

I like this game but Ryuji is the most cringe character i;ve ever experienced.

>Effin adults, man!
>Eff adults!
>Grrr!! THESE SHITTY DAMN ADULTS! (Yelling Naruto style)
>Man being a Phantom Thief is so cool because EFF these SHITTY ADULTS, YO!

Ryuji is the type of character that 7th grade me would shit his pants over for being so cool and equating "being a mouthy cunt to older people" to "being a missunderstood tubular badass teen"

>>375719519
Pretty sure he's supposed to be kind of insufferable with what a loudmouth dumbass he is.

He's your bro, but he's a dipshit who won't shut up.

>>375719603

He's not my "bro". I hate him. I'm sorry you virgin fucks think he's cool because you don't have friends in real life.

>>375719519
It's not like he's had anyone to reign him in. His dad was a drunk who left and the one thing he took pride in was destroyed by Kamoshida.

>>375719723

Yes, the average teenager is exactly as dumb, impulsive and annoying

Anon, take a minute to stop acting autistic and realize that characters have motivation behind their actions. He is a retard because nothing has worked out for him until you come along and set his ass straight like any normal teenager.

So what, 80 hours in to the game? And no when they got exposed he was constantly shouting and bitching about it until the MC calmed everyone which was after the whole dungeon when they reflected on their goals. He didn't even apologise to morg properly.

If in a 100 hour game your character takes until past 80 hours to realise to stop fucking around the game sucks.

The problem with Persona games is the calendar system means they have to fill an assload of time and oftentimes nothing happens for weeks on end. So sometimes it takes 80 hours for character development to happen.

It doesn't glorify teens per se but romanticizes youth, and there's a lot of (understandable) pessimistic sentiment aimed toward the adult world. If a character like pic related dares to say "youth sucks and is bullshit too", he/she's gone too far.

>>375720615
probably not as much as you think

>>375717554
It's less adults and more about people with power that are abusing said power and making life hell for other people. It's not even just the main cast but many of the confidants are people being punished for crimes they didn't commit because of people with power over them and many of these confidants are even adults themselves(Ohya, Takemi, Kawakami, Tora and etc)

Because adults do indeed suck

>>375725468
Hell, a lot of quests in Memento are bout teens as well

>>375717554
You can tell that people who say this haven't play the game.

>>375726574
They could have played the game, you never know. Most people on /v/ seem to think Morgana left the party because of Ryuji.

Good thing the theme in Persona 5 isn't "fuck adults" then!

The problem that is plaguing a lot of the characters in this game including other adults are people who are in positions of power abusing said power. Ryuji's the one who has an innate distrust of adults, but he and the main cast of teenagers aren't the only ones fucker over

>Tora is punished for a crime he didn't commit because of someone higher on the political ladder
>Tae is being pushed to quit being a doctor from someone higher up on the ladder in Japanese Medicine
>Kawakami feels personally responsible for the death of one of her former students. The family of said student is using this emotion against her and extorting money from her
>Ohya is trying to investigate a crime surrounding her colleague, but roadblocks are being put in front of her by her superiors.

Because being a teenager means you aren't a sad, tired asian man yet and are still a cool, energetic asian kid with hopes and dreams.

>>375726768
>teenagers
But teenagers were just as evil, if not moreso than adults in that show.

Can anyone tell me if its possible to "overlevel" a social link?
For example right now I can level up slink with Ryuji and Ann, but I also can go to the gym with both of them which would probably give me points for both.
Would going to the gym be a waste, because I can already level them up, or how does it work??

>>375726768
They are kids

Not teens

>>375717554
Cause it's made for people who aren't adults.

>>375724480
Not my problem

Game could have tied social links to the main story but they're pointless storywise.

>>375717642
This.
Just look at what kind of shit Trump, Le pen and farage are doing right now

>>375728080
I think if Ann wants to go to the gym with you and Ryuji she might not quite be ready to level up yet. You can't overlevel Ryuji or anything, though. He'll be ready to level up when you talk to him by himself next.

>>375717554
Japan didn't invent this. London basically invented it in the sixties.

>>375727823
>Kawakami feels personally responsible for the death of one of her former students. The family of said student is using this emotion against her and extorting money from her

Because she chose to.

She didn't have to pay anything and just quit her job. It was all her fault anyways for getting so close to a student then abandoning him

>>375727823
>Ryuji's the one who has an innate distrust of adults
Just because you keep repeating it, it doesn't make it true. Ryuji mentions shitty adults multiple times, but every member of the Phantom Thieves talks about unjust adults at least once.

>>375717554
t. shitty adult

>>375728080
Pretty sure the gym thing is for Ann's next rank.

>>375728386
So basically if someone is ready to level up, getting more points with him is useless?

>>375717554
that's what you got out of it?

to me, it was more about how people in positions of power are greedy pricks who will readily screw over anyone they can get away with, which doesn't seem too wrong to me.

>>375728462
It doesn't matter if she chose to or not, the family of the deceased student don't have to extort money from her so they can live better. They're abusing the power they have over Kawakami.

>>375728465
That doesn't mean the theme of the game is "fuck adults", though. I've already given examples of adults being put in to the same positions as the teenagers are. To a teenager, any adult is seen as a position of power over them to people in the adult world people with power over them are instead people higher than them in the corporate ladder. So to the teenagers of the cast of course the kids in the PT are just going to say some things about all adults in general.

>>375728637
I don't think it will roll over or anything, yeah.

you can't really do that if they're adults unless you make up some bullshit

Highschool is a hardcore grind to get in, and once u get in, it's very relaxed and have much more freedom.

>>375717812
Because it's kind of true.

Biologically, you are at your peak at around late teens to early 20s. Then it's all down hill from there as far as baby making and career finding goes. Japan is just too pragmatic about these kinds of things. They consider adventure to be strictly for younger people.

Is there any point in training in an evening? A measly 5 HP doesn't really feel like it would matter much later on in the game.

A lot of things suck about teenagers or being one, but one thing that is admirable to some degree is their religious spirit.

That spirit tends to be hammered out by time you become an adult, but in the back of your head a lot of people wish they could rebel against whatever bullshit is currently making their life tough, but rebelling is tough and their life is just comfortable enough that they don't want to risk it. So we can related to the P5's casts feeling while also admiring their willingness to go through with it.

But they're just against "shitty" adults, as in ones that abuse their authority.

They're fine with all the upstanding adults like Sojrio, Sae, Kawakami, etc.

>>375727047

>>375734394
Shitty adults ruin the most lives, and they're the ones with plot relevance.

>>375717554
because their society crushes their soul and so they look back longingly at the adolescence they never had.
