I joke, but I wouldn't be at all surprised with a multiplatform release at this point.

Probably not sadly. Atlus seems pretty dead-set on not multiplatting these games, at least on release. It's probably because they are at least partially funded by Sony/Nintendo.

I'm wary of that being a good idea after Caligula Effect, which was full of fat jokes and a trans character that was poorly executed (not exactly maliciously, but really badly thought out).

Just give it to either the TMS team or the Dx2 team. They both have shown they can write likeable characters and the mobile game has at least one canon gay character (as well as a few implied) whose homosexuality isn't treated as a joke.

Look don't go breaking my dreams with reality.

It's a staple of the anime Japanese High School experience. It's not just Persona but pretty much anything featuring High School with events spread out over a long period of time. The main character gets a fresh start at High School in the spring and makes friends. In the summer they go to the beach or pool, followed by going to the Summer Festival, studying for exams, going on their school field trip (Okinawa for more beach fun or a mountain resort for hot springs,) spending Christmas and New Year's eve with someone, then Valentines Day followed by White Day, and almost forgot the school festival. There's going to be a few dates in there as well but it depends entirely on the pacing of the romance plot.

Unless you get them out of the High School dating sim experience it's not going to change.

Alternatively, go all in on the high school dating sim. Leave the dungeoning and battling and fusing to the megaten games and make room for more involved classes, clubs and date/hangout events. Gameplay can still take the form of schedule management and social stats and general dicking around. Turn Persona into Tokimeki Memorial.

What I'm saying is localize the Tokimeki Memorial games.

It isn't proven at all but generally there seems to be some reason that Atlus isn't, say, porting Persona 5 to the Switch despite releasing the sequel for it.

Persona 4 was big city kid goes to small town and Persona 5 was the opposite.

Persona 6 should be a game with two protagonists with two completely different stories that intersect at the end. One protagonist should be a Japanese foreign exchange going to America. The other should be an American foreign exchange student going to Japan. The two protagonists see each other in the Velvet Room for whatever reason until their teams join forces to beat the world ending calamity demon.

What's really funny about the hot spring scene in 4 is that in general smaller towns like Inaba tend to have a different "hot spring culture" than cities like Tokyo, where mixed bathing is more encouraged or at least not looked at as anything weird. Especially if they're all wearing loving towels like the P4 characters do.

Do they both get social links? If so, do they split the Arcana or each get the whole deal?

yeah but that would be an actually interesting and possibly funny scene. like imagine yosuke freaking out because he thinks chie is trying to bait him into getting owned or something but she just thinks this is normal, thatd be something like a joke.

Kazuma Kiryu using "Bicycle" against enemies and tons of them being weak to that attack would be hilarious.

Didn't know about all that but always thought the overall plot centering around the world being ruled by an evil Vocaloid felt like dumb pandering.

I haven't thought beyond it through beyond that. If they split the arcana, each Persona team might have less members, making them more focused. But team variety might get stale.

I am no master of anime or anything but Persona's humor always felt very 90s to me.

I guess we should all just be grateful the Old Man Pervert trope has died out.Then again, Dragon Ball and Ranma were the 80s.

Point is, there has been progress more or less. Persona is just a bit behind the times.

Physical releases of Persona Q are notorious for having high failure rates. Even if you think you own the game, you probably don't anymore.
