I really don't think the "College/Adult Persona" thing is ever gonna happen, it just seems much less relevant to the target audience and core fantasy of the series and I have doubts the calendar system would even really translate to a university or workplace setting.

They should make the next persona game about 35 year old computer touchers who spend all day posting on internet forums.

Unironically I do think you could do something interesting with a Persona game where the internet itself is the Big Danger and you can focus on the negative effects of social media and whatnot, with a cast who are not even in the same city but instead befriend one another through the internet. You can play with the idea of someone having an online persona (lol) and an offline persona and how those things mesh. Not sure if Atlus could do it but I think it could be interesting.

They should make the next Persona game about a group of self-centered friends in 90s New York City, one of whom is a successful stand-up comic.

Persona game where the protagonist is none other than the famous persona Jack Frost, accompanied by his friends Pyro Jack, King Frost, and Black Frost. It takes place in the Demon World, which is where all the personas come from, like in the manga Zatch Bell.

If you want a goofy-rear end JRPG starring 40 somethings which even has social links and social stats and collecting monsters and where you can listen to the Persona soundtrack then Infinite Wealth is probably the closest you're going to get.

Finished Reload. While I was a bit saddened at first by the removal of the more rough elements of p3, I got over it pretty fast and enjoyed my time. All the extra little scenes they added helps some of the more dead sections of the game pacing wise and the male party member hangouts were an extremely good addition and I very much enjoyed the little plots each of them had, especially Ken and Shinjiro. The few extra Takaya scenes were a nice addition too but I still think Strega is kind of weak as an antagonist group, not the biggest deal though and I appreciate the effort to give at least a bit more characterization to them all. Overall very pleased with the whole package and I'll be curious to see how they mess with The Answer.

I do feel Reload errs a little too close to a shot for shot remake with the social links, but I do enjoy the new gameplay elements such as Theurgy and Monad doors. The link events are also a great addition, and I appreciate that the dorm events give more to do at night after you max out your social stats. I never really cared for Strega outside of Chidori so Takaya's extra scenes are whatever. Asking him why he doesn't wear a shirt when given the chance is a real power move though, gotta respect that.

I thought it was actually really cool, even if it gave me a headache.

Were the various NPCs talking about Strega people before the story really introduces them in the original?

The rumors about Strega and their appearances before formally engaging the party existed in the original, but the scenes focusing around the MC and Takaya are new to Reload.

there's something more closely connected when we talk about Persona But Adult: Metaphor Re:Fantazio's party seems to be adults, if young ones, mostly, and we have an image of an old man party member as well

It is also a fantasy game and not what people are really talking about when they want Persona: Adult I think.

Persona but instead of taking place over the course of one year it takes place over the course of decades and half your social links decay irreparably due to falling out of contact, death, or addiction.

Gotta get to the social link rank 6 scene with The wheel of fortune where you run into him during your lunch break at work and he's drunk to the point of slurring his words.

i am very annoyed that you can't decline the extra shuffle time cards that Justice gives you because I got a shuffle time that only had 2 cards in it and had to fill one of my major arcana slots with Temperance, a card that does literally nothing because my social stats are maxed

I think the only major change I would deviate from the original might be moving one of the daytime links to nighttime, to make maxing everyone less strict, but that's just me. Very weird to only have two links at night, and even though they've given you more to do at night now, you'll still run out of things to do. Even just allowing you to go to the shrine at night would be fine. You do get the website to progress links so you can spend time on that, but it's gotten really late in the game.

Moon is probably the best candidate to get pushed to night. Nothing happens in the link that would need to be re-written because of the time change and Nozomi hangs out at the mall which you can still access at night.
