I miss Philemon. It's too bad IS/EP had to happen and he went WHOA gently caress THIS with regards to hanging out and meddling with humans. Maybe him and Nyarl can come back (legit this time) for P5.

I always wondered whether or not Nyarlathotep could conceivably come back on his own, than immediately freak out that his opponent hasn't shown up to continue the game proper. Like a Satan without God allegory, where he would likely have to play the part of both benevolent persona granting deity and main antagonist to "break the rules" enough for the real Philemon to hopefully show up.

From what I've heard the first one was a fairly decent dungeon crawler and the second one improves on it. And I guess the whole thing is more suggestive than straight-up creepy? It sounds like it could be either a terrible train wreck or a decent little rpg. I think I'll wait on some trip reports before deciding.

There's also Arena that for all intents and purposes is the sequel to P4.

Arena ended on such a cliffhanger that any new game would inevitably be a sequel to 4 anyway, surely? Maybe with new playable characters, but there's no way the old ones wouldn't come back.

Ultra Suplex Hold is a whole new game? I'd completely missed that, I thought it was just the Arcade update of Arena.

Is Japanese University life very different from American University life? I would be curious to know how it works. I suspect it'd be tough to incorporate all the binge drinking and drug abuse that I remember from college into an anime RPG.

Judging by that, replace "School" with "Club" from a regular high school anime and you've got university.

Yeah, there was an interview with Katsura Hashino (The guy who directed P3 and P4) and he said, when asked about another Persona focusing on adults, that while there may be an adult character or two in the primary cast of future Personas, he doesn't see them shifting focus away from High School. Granted, that was a few years back (before Catherine was even announced) but I doubt he has changed his mind on that front.

iirc, practically every MegaTen protagonist has been around high school age, even if they don't attend high school because of the setting or recent apocalypse or whatever (though I suppose Devil Children and Strange Journey would be the big exceptions here). Persona games haven't deviated away from the standard modern-day setting, so...

Maya was 23, and I want to say Kyouji was in his 20s or so? And of course Vincent if you count Catherine as an SMT game.

But they are definitely in the minority.

Plus, how many social interaction-based mangas/animes do you know that are focused on college? Generally they all just stick to high school due to the ages of their audience, the accessible and strictured tropes of high school life, and the incredibly easy methods of making drama because teenagers

Kyouji was of a bit of an indeterminate age, the game either lets you write him as a university student, fulltime worker, unemployed, etc, but his girlfriend is around the age of 19 or 20.

I think there have been some young adults in the protagonist mix, but yeah, it's mostly high schoolers.

How is college in Japan like, anyways?

From what I understand, it's pretty different from America. Most of your difficult studying is done in high school to get into a good university, at which point you take it easy for four years, get a job based on your university's name, and then get trained on the job.
