    There are actually sayings in Japan like "college is the spring break of life" and "You can only play while you're still in university." It's seen as relief between stressing out about entrance exams as a high schools and the soul crushing work of being an adult.

      I think high school for Persona specifically is chosen for, while also for the universal experience as you said, is the liminal point for a lot of Japanese people. Especially considering the new games take place in second year, the middle of your high school years and where you sort of start to get an idea on where you're about to aim or end up once you reach adulthood in a year or so. Here the whole idea is to quite literally improve and level up your skills so you're prepared for the next phase of life (if I'm remembering, you only kind of get one shot for a career as soon as you finish high school) , which is an ideal environment for a story based within the Fool's Journey. College, as others have said, is kind of a break from that, is more casual and less stressful by comparison since the big decisions have already been made. Can have many interesting stories within that time period, but admittedly the high school setting, the way it is anyways, is better suited for the stories Persona tells nowadays.

    It feels to me like the likes and dislikes in japan align fairly well with cultural expectations.
    Ryuji is introduced as "vulgar boy", he dyes his hair blonde and has very little respect for his elders. Kanji also Bleeches his hair, like rebellious youths often do in japan.
    Meanwhile Makoto is studying alot and caring about her future, her older sister, her dad, and the collective she is responsible for taking care of - the student body. This makes her very popular.

Thats his relationship with adults in his introduction. If Most adults he meets fall in to the shitty adults category and his respect in fact needs to be earned, then he is not one who accepts his place in the order of things.

    I've heard college in Japan is actually pretty breezy. The last year of high school is known as "exam hell", but once you get a high enough score to get into a top college or university, you're basically set for life. The top companies recruit out of those, simply BEING at one is enough to be on their radar. (This explains why Makoto was willing to go so far for a college recommendation)
    Protagonists winning Japanese polls is not exclusive to Persona, the Fire Emblem protags tend to score really high in their polls too, as does Rean in Trails of Cold Steel. Blank slate self-inserts seem to do really well over there.
    The P3 polls are interesting, as there was a lot more variance between then than P4.
    I'm also one who likes Q1 more than Q2. Q2 does do some thing better, but I think it did some worse than 1.

      yukiki is your average very feminine girl next door which definitely fits the traditional gender roles and collectivist culture of Japan, whereas Chie is more untraditional in her femininity and is really individualistic in her presentation and hobby (wont see a lot of japanese girls looking like Chie with a deep interest with kung fu in japan ) which fits more with our progressive and individualistic societies in the West. Which aligns with my own preference since I found Chie to be way funnier and memorable than Yukiko because of her personnality and humor.

    Well when P5 came out, i was 26, but now I'm 33 and yeah. I still play video games, and Persona and SMT titles in particular. Just because you get older, you don't stop pursuing your hobbies. (Except if you have kids, but yeah, no thank you.)
    Also, i show up in your analytics as male, but I'm actually a woman. I don't like telling google I'm a woman though, because then i get targetted ads for baby shit and perfume and kitchen appliances (yes, really). So i switched my gender to male on all social media platforms and lo and behold - no more cringe female coded ad content. This is a well-known "hack" among women, especially childfree women, and since many of us are gamers as well, i bet your actual male-female audience ratio is more even than it looks.
    Also, from experience: yes, the highschool setting is/can be relaxing and cathartic. Especially for those of us who spent their school years getting bullied and maybe even had a shitty home life on top of that. It's just.

Other the fact that I don't know why any sane person would stand there and pretend to care, let alone agree what the other individual have to say when they know that they are ALWAYS gonna favor their OWN opinion over yours at the end of the day. When people wank their opinions in my face, I do what every japanese person does in their country and pretend to flatter them with compliments when in my mind, I couldn't give a rat's a** about it, as I roll my eyes a million times over hoping they would just shut up about their opinions already. Seems like an effective strategy the japanese fandom tend to use every time they confront people with such sensitive topics. If you were to tell japanese what country, or ethnic people they hate the most, they would do everything to avoid the topic and not give you an honest, straightforward opinionated response. But deep down, they KNOW what their stance is.

    Something to keep in mind about the 'first game played' poll, is it's just that. The first game they played is just how they are introduced to the series, so it makes sense that something like FES would be less than Persona 3, given how chances are people would have picked up the original first, or waited for for the more accessible PSP.
    Same with how Persona 1 got high on the list too, people started with that one and became fans of the series, and why Eternal Punishment being so low down, given how people who buy it are likely buying it to see what's going on after Innocent Sin's ending

Though it hurt to see that Naoto wasn’t top 4 in the smaller polls, and top 10 in the large poll. But I’ll take 11th for sure. But I can definitely agree that the Japanese and Asian fan base has generally better opinions/takes on the games. The western fan base makes me want to hurt myself sometimes.

    I find it funny HS culture is so idealized in Japan, even though when you hear from Japanese people about their HS experience it's often just as strict & brutal as work culture.
    Strict demand for studying, placement exams & grades to get into a top college & get a high paying job, a bunch of traditional & conservative rules restricting nearly everything you do (including dating), a ton of pressure to join clubs & study groups (if not just required), otherwise you aren't seen as driven enough & won't get into good schools, etc etc etc

    When I finally get to play Persona 5, I was already in between 20-29 age range. And by now I passed to the 30-39 range. So the older fans could be just a player since old Persona.

    can confirm, im in my early 30's and my first Atlus game ever was Persona 4 Golden when it first released on steam. I am also surprised by the age demographics here but if i can speak from personal experience i think the reason is because older people my age tend to be tired of hyper competitive multiplayer games or even single player games that significantly raise one's stress level and blood pressure. Like bro I have too much responsibility and stuff to worry about than to spend playing 100 hours game time just to 'git gud' enough at Dead Cells so that I can experience the real end game final boss. Not to mention getting unironically mad af and swearing at my monitor is cringe and pathetic as a grown ass man. These days I play simple game that are simple, story driven, and relaxing. I AM TRYING TO HAVE FUN, not be tensed up and anxiety ridden over my K/D ratio.

    The main problem with Haru is you get her so late in the game that it is difficult forming an attachment to her. Heck, you can't even start her confidant until pretty much the last month of the game.
    As for voting the protagonist first in everything, I wouldn't even have them on the list as an option myself. They tend to just be player surrogates and not characters unto themselves... weird that Asia rates them so highly. To me voting the protag first is like voting the music slider in the config menu your favorite game feature.

    Seeing the general demographics, that still makes me think we could use a game similar to Eternal Punishment in terms of cast age. I believe that a game with a central cast of people ages 18-25 who are just coming into the workforce/continuing on to college. Something with the message along the lines of “Yeah, growing older is hard, but the friends we make in adulthood (and the ones we maintain from our schooling years) make adulthood a bit easier.” Something optimistic for the future, but I probably am in a minority in this one. Also not surprised Shinjiro kinda sits low on popularity polls, character who shows up for short amount of time and 90% of his character development is in Kotone’s route. Also dies about as quickly as he’s introduced. (He’s still #1 in my heart dammit). That Q2 poll was a big W for Shinjiro (also 669? Nice.)

    A quick note about persona in regards to Sony systems.
    Persona 5, atleast in the states, was considered an M rated game. This is an important detail because gamers who were not using adult based accounts on playstation systems, COULD NOT get persona 5 to play. The system, here in the us atleast, AGE BLOCKS people with kid accounts, even if they became adults, from playing the game at all. My sister was given permission by her familly to play the game and The playstation did not care. There was also no parental control that unlocked the feature either.
    Then when she tried a few years later, now an adult... it still blocked her.
    Mom had to jump through dozens of hoops to get my Sis's account changed from kid to adult, and boy that was a nightmare.
    I dont know if the same thing happened in other countries, but I feel like its an important detail concerning the Ages of the players within the surveys.

    The reason why Persona 3-FES was less the starting point for players in Japan than Persona 3 is easily explained.
    While in the west Persona 3-FES was released as a full game on a single disc, in Japan they released FES as an Add-On Disc (today it would be DLC) to Persona 3. That means, to play P3-FES in Japan, you needed to have a copy of P3, or else you couldn't play it.
    I bought the FES disc in Japan while I was there on holiday, and the shopkeeper warned me that I would not be able to play it without the original game, that's the reason I know this. XD

      1. Please bring this game to switch
      2. Please bring Hamuko.
      3. Please bring Episode Aigis.

    I imagine Fuuka is so low because she has almost no story relevance. All the other girls have a story arc of some significance. She also doesn't really fit the theme of the game that well, where everyone lost someone. If I'm not mistaken, she is the only party member who didn't have to experience the death of a loved one.
    Rise and Futaba, despite also being analyzers, are much more prevalent in the story. Risu is the main love interest, and Futaba is the daughter of your guardian. Fuuka has nothing. She's just the voice that you hear in tartarus.

      Ann was pretty but then the fans turned her down thanks to her good personality she had. I’m Japanese games, women with personalities are a big no no to the fans comparing to no personalities like Byleth in FE

    I think the problem with those surveys it they just asked for a favourite not for them to be ranked. I don't think it means Sojiro was disliked just that he wasn't a lot of people number 1.

    Adding FMC is not easy it's just that if you're adding FMC, you have to take gender context into account. Rewrite a lot of dialogues, add female clubs, addresses, etc.
    but I think it's worth it. Social games such as persona are very popular with girls.

    Doesn't surprise me that Persona 3 was held in higher regard with JP. It's the game that made Persona a solid series to follow. It also didn't surprise me that the fans of P3 were mostly for older age brackets. If you look at those Japanese Persona 3 music concerts from the 2000s that are still online here, those weren't teenie boppers in the audience.

    of the confidants the most useful ones to me have been Ryuji, Sojiro, Hifumi and dr maruki (i only player persona 5 royal) Ryuji cause his confidant lets you instant kill weaker shadows and so makes grinding a lot easier, sojiro having a solid way to replenish sp, Hifumi cause she allows you to switch any confidant at any point in the fight which can easily save one of your characters from going down and Dr maruki increases your sp

    Keep in mind with the poll around the 4:30 mark that it’s specifically referring to the FIRST Persona game people played. I’d imagine people who started the series with 3 or 4, and definitely 5 would probably be more likely to play the PSP version of Persona AFTER their first game.
    Knowing what they started with is interesting, but I would be interesting in seeing which version everyone played. Those who started with Persona 1 in the first decision are mostly probably those lifelong fans.
