Current Events > Would an American Persona work? >_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

One that takes place in the USA. Think of all the holiday events they could do! (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's, St. Patrick's Day etc). And more time to do social stuff with a two-day weekend. And a school year that starts in September and ends in June would mean a differently paced story. I dunno, just something to think about.

Considering Persona 3 was a plagiarized story from this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnighters_trilogy

In the Midnighters Trilogy, individuals born at midnight are able to live within the Blue Time while in Bixby, Oklahoma. These individuals are referred to as "Midnighters". As well as the ability to travel within the Blue Time, each Midnighter is gifted with super-human abilities. It is implied in Blue Noon that a Midnighter's power will not work outside of Bixby, however this remains unconfirmed, as none of the Midnighters leave the town during the course of the trilogy. Alongside their superhuman abilities comes the disadvantage of being highly sensitive to intense light.

In The Secret Hour, it is revealed that prior to the current generation of Midnighters, there used to be a large collective of Midnighters who, for all intents and purposes, ran the small town of Bixby in an attempt to protect it from the Darklings. Rex manages to deduce this from both historical accounts and "The Lore", notes made by previous Midnighters. However approximately fifty years before the beginning of the book the lore ceased to be updated for unknown reasons. The disappearance of the previous generation of Midnighters remains a mystery until the second book Touching Darkness.

The Midnighters Trilogy features five main protagonists, all of whom are Midnighters. Despite all possessing the ability to pass into the Blue Time, they do not always work together - resulting from personal conflicts between members.

Not the first time Atlus based a game off something like that. SMT if... (Which is a prequel to the original persona.) Is based loosely on the 1968 film of the same name.

I don't really see why not.

An american persona would certainly work, but part of Persona's charm is the weeb aspect imo.

I'd also like to see a young adult Persona. Instead of school it's work, and you've got coworkers. You'll have social links were people get engaged/married/pregnant or have to deal with aging/dying co-parents. You'll eventually get to hook up with your manager.

It'd prolly by better

Technically Kawakami should have been arrested too. It's not legal in Japan for teachers to bang their students. >_>

The only problem is that Japanese workdays are so intense and long there realistically wouldn't be any time for the characters to do Persona stuff.

Plenty of high school romcoms say otherwise
