• Put some research into finding a way to not have 1/4 of the characters be pedophiles
  • Turn down the dating simmyness by about 70 %, let the other characters develop interpersonal relationships
  • Keep turning the "main character actually having character traits" dial, we can reach 10 % by 2050
  • Maybe two fewer Revolver Ocelot voice Mr. President scenes than in 5
  • Since we are doing social themes, how about "communism is good"?
  • Ska soundtrack

    • let me be gay please. Persona 2 did it more than 20 years ago this shit is getting embarrassing
    • also let people play as a girl. P3P did it.
    • no high school setting. From college onwards
    • no mascot character for the love of god
    • release your epilogue content as DLC instead of a new fucking game. This was excusable on the PS2 but holy shit it's so scummy to keep doing it
    • stop retreading the same plot over and over.
    • social links shouldn't be just you agreeing with a person.
    • they should bring back reverse social links but 10x more frequent.

    I actually like these games BTW

      Or even just don't make an exception in the game's themes for queer people! P5 is like "break free from societal expectations! But not, like, in a queer way" and it drives me up a fucking wall. Though that's still better than P4's core theme of "anything about you that you don't like is just you being delusional and you need to accept the 'truth' about yourself and conform". Naoto accepting the "hard truth" that she can "never pass the barrier between the sexes" makes me want to throw up- and hey, what do you know, it also conveniently makes Kanji's attraction to her not gay, isn't that interesting.

      no mascot character for the love of god

      I'm still so confused by how P3 had 2 mascot characters that were relatively inoffensive (Koromaru and Aigis), and then P4 and P5 made two of the most obnoxious mascots I've ever seen (at least it's not a straight "things getting worse" progression- Teddie is by far worse than Morgana)

      social links shouldn’t be just you agreeing with a person

      100%. So much of the social links end up feeling so manipulative- which, I mean, they're clearly borrowing a lot from dating sims, which are Manipulation: The Genre. But still.
