For the MC's persona to be a burger demon.

>>377530791
A single, overarching theme.
Angsty teens.
Hijinks.
Waifus and bros.
Token irritating teammate.
Demons based on American folklore and native mythology.
A save the world plot stapled on towards the end of the game.
A Japanese dub.

Already exists as P1 on PSX.

>>377530791
For it not to exist.

so, a bully game with weird magic powers?

>>377531032
I already know about the infamous (but not that terrible imo) changing Marc's skin thing, but is the rest of the game that bad?

Would you play a Persona game from Sweden, /v/?

>>377530791
an all american main cast that constantly complain how punching gods and deities from around the world is offensive.

MC will have Marx as a persona while the best friend dude will have Che Guevara

>>377530791
I don't think it'd be that different. Only P5 thematically would be hard to pull off in the US cause half the population jerks off to lynching authority figures on a daily basis.

>>377531491
Better written than all Atlus games to be honest family.

>>377531671
only when the authority figure is of the opposite party, Trump is as authoritarian as they come and if it weren't for the multitudes of checks and balances Americans have he'd basically be a dictator, and he's already trying to become one anyway, and his supporters love it

>>377530791

Is this actually a thing? As a European it sounds rather scary to have such a high security presence at schools.

We only had random selections to get checked by a hand held metal detectors. No big door frame metal detectors though.

>>377532154

>>377531784
That goes without saying, as it's better written than pretty much every game ever made. This is why I don't take the "games as art" or indie game crowd seriously. They aren't producing anything remotely this good.

A Persona game set in a Deep South High School would be incredible.

That part of the country is rich with themes they could use in Persona 6: Overseas.

>>377532154
Yes, after Columbine proper police now prowl schools and shit like metal detectors, lockdown procedures, etc... are the norm in American schools.

Don't believe anyone telling you it's only in [blank place]. Our country is in love with guns and doesn't mind the consequences of that.

>>377533008
I'd actually not mind this. Could use discrimination and religion as an overarching theme instead of rebellion.

I do want to see more games take place in America as envisioned by a Japanese developer.

>>377533105
not only in love with guns, but glorifies violence and conflict to such an absurd degree, on top of over-medicating every single affliction, that it creates generations of psychopaths.

>>377531838
The only reason Trump is getting as much resistance as he is is because he's an idiot. Someone with the exact same agenda as Trump but didn't do shit like tweet constantly, and had a mask of professionalism would wreak far more havoc.

>>377531671
Yup, a good chunk of this country doesn't want a say in government (they find politics, staying informed, and voting annoying) and want someone up top issuing instant commands to fix whatever is wrong.

They don't want a President, they want a King.

>>377532154
I've never been to a school with a metal detector. Towards the end of high school there was a single lazy cop brought in who sat in his office all day, but that was as harsh as security got.
I lived in a middle class area, if that affects anything.

>>377532409
Trump praises dictators and says he wants to emulate them all the time, he just can't because Americans have a very well thought out system of checks and balances that prevent him from doing so.

And that's why Persona set in the U.S. would be fucking incredible.

Imagine if you're in the middle of the game and that creepy weird chick from P5 had a counterpart in Persona USA. In Japan she just posts obsessive shit.

In Persona USA she would go on a shooting spree and kill her "competitors" before killing herself. Imagine losing a party member to that shit.

That'd carry a lot more impact that Shinjiro dying in P3 or Goro dying in P5.

Let me write the entire script for you as fast as i can

>Transfer student from new york being sent to new jersey


>First day of school find your "Bro" getting shoved into a locker by bullies

>Browse ingame instagram to find the popular girl at your school


>That girl is the generic female companion


>First thing you fight is a school shooter and that is when your persona awakens


Repeat aspets from P5 AND P4 thoughout here


>Make vines and shit for the rest of the year

>Go on field trip in the yellow bus


>Graduate high school

>>377533658
>>Transfer student from new york being sent to new jersey
my God, a fate worse than death

>>377533395
>Americans have a very well thought out system of checks and balances that prevent him from doing so.

Yeah, except when they don't. People get angry at the judges nixxing Trump's executive orders. People get angry at investigators looking into Trump's finances and political ties.

Also, making it so the only person that can initiate impeachment procedures potentially be part of the same party as the President? INSANELY stupid and short sighted.

Your constitution should be burned. Your people clearly don't care about it.

>>377533343
It doesn't. It's spotty, but actual police presence and deterrence measures are a thing across the country. High end schools also get them as well.

Same here.

The "Outsider looking in" perspective gave us the GTA series, a stinging critique of America.

I'd love to see Hashino fucking shred American culture like she did Japanese culture in P5.

>>377533105
Nah this is actually bullshit. Decent schools have security guards and yes naturally lockdown contingencies, but that's it. There are school district police but they don't patrol the campus.
Worth the price of freedom regardless.

>>377530791
I'd play that, The Rock is pretty fucking witty, and Shia is just fucking insane.

Wow, you could do religion or racial discrimination in a Persona set in the South. Bible thumpers and racists are a good, distinct shift from P5.

>mfw two of your characters are tried and true white supremacists and you have to chose between them and the rest of the party who is not cool with that.

So you'd either have to go the rest of t he game with only 3 party members or missing those two.

>>377533828
Good schools don't have lockdown procedures.

Only countries with an obsession with implements of death do.

>>377530918
But Persona is Jojo references, not yugioh references

You have a quest to change hearts of two boys that attend Columbia school.
When you finish it they manifest their "personas" (guns) and go to share their truth at school.

>>377534105
yugioh is also already jojo references tho

>>377534093
Yeah I get it you like to assign all these wacky traits to Americans and the nation at large. It's kind of funny but tired. If being glad for the right to use and own is an obsession then yeah sure whatever pal.

>>377534024
This would have to be balanced very well in terms of battle mechanics and the competence of each persona's personas.

If the two 88 faggots are statistically better than most of the party, people will just minmax every time. If they're worse, people will just minmax and won't care that they just jettisoned mediocre party members.

There'd have to be other social consequences, like maybe some social links beyond those two can no longer be advanced, certain parts of town are now hostile to you, etc...

>school shootings (gun violence in general)
>actual sports
>diversity

Make it take place in LA. No more shitty Jap numale culture.

>>377534198
When someone slaughtered a bunch of children with a firearm in the U.K. they restricted the fuck out of them.

When classrooms of children were slaughtered in your country, your country didn't fucking flinch. Children's lives matter less than your ability to fire bullets.

THIS is why the blighted U.S. is perfect for a Persona game. Shadows are born of mental and emotional pathos.

>>377530791

Basically, ALL of /x/'s shit starts going down. Illuminati shenanigans, skinwalkers, reptilian sleeper agents, chemtrail mind infiltration, etc.

- Dumbass fag from somewhere like Oregon or New York who doesn't fit in
- Raccoon mascot

>Demons based on American folklore and native mythology.
Ehhh, this isn't happening. Also, we don't really have folklore. No one cares about shit like Paul Bunyan, Big Blue, John Henry, etc... and there aren't enough people that care about Native mythology around

Let's just stick to the Kaneko classics, okay?

>>377531491

The MC gets cucked by every black man and Muslim ingame while being weak and "progressive"? Doesn't sound very good to me.

>>377533343
I lived in a fairly "privileged" area(it was basically the "middle-low class district" in an area filled with mcmansions, near the beach, etc.) and we had the same thing. Barely ever saw the guy; I think it was at least a few months in before I even realized we had one. It was kind of weird finding out because our crime rate is almost literally zero.

>>377533705
The theme is accepting suicide.

>>377534806
>Let's just stick to the Kaneko classics, okay?

Like Thunderbird, Mothman, Wendigo, Pele, Chupacabra, and a shitton of other unexplored one-offs?

American mythology isn't deep in a lore sense but it has some serious diversity.

>>377533705

They would have to be willing to age the cast up since Persona is more conducive to an American university setting than a high school one.

Considering japs think anyone over the age of 20 is over the hill, though, I think that might be too difficult.

>>377535423
>American mythology [...] has some serious diversity.
we don't need more diversity you fucking sjw tranny whore

No, thanks, anything that comes in contact with America, the cancer of the planet, can only become worse

also in america we have a designated fast food restaurant where everybody goes to get high and smoking weed and drinking is something you joke about with your teachers

My school didn't have any cops or any security like that, but I live in about as white and small-town of an area as you can get.
