I hope I put enough qualifiers in that thread title so people don't see just the 'Persona 6' part and think 'OMFG P6 HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED?!'
I fully expect Persona 6 will come, eventually, and hopefully sooner than later. Persona 5/Royal and the franchise as a whole just seem to print enough money that it's inevitable. So saying that, what would you like to see?
For me...
1. A new location, somewhere that's not Tokyo. Iwatodai was weird, and felt almost like Tokyo-lite in a way? Inaba was cool, but I can't imagine they would ever do something like that again after the much more ambitious Persona 5. I kind of like seeing real-life city environments put in video game form, in that it's a neat way to explore areas that I'll probably never visit. But it gets old when every other Japanese game takes place in Tokyo. One of Japan's other big cities like Kyoto or Osaka would be nice. Dark horse candidate for me would be Sapporo, with a heavy amount of winter stuff, and possible bit locations on Hokkaido.
2. A female protagonist. I would prefer they actually have both a male and female option, ala Persona 3 Portable, and then just split the Confidant romances (or, I guess, they could have bisexual protagonists with romance options on both genders for the inclusiveness).
3. College age protagonists. Arguably, most Persona users are high school age precisely because that's such a pivotal time for the formation of personalities and id, ego, and superego, in keeping with the general theme of the series. But I think a pretty good argument could be made for college-age people awakening their Persona due to a general lag in full mental actualisation, thanks to far more complicated modern day living.
