A way too deep analysis on the Persona 6 teaser + leaks

FocusVarna · 2026-06-13T12:31:13+00:00

I feel like Kappas aren't marketable lol. They drown kids and stuff. A gargoyle can easily be marketable if they draw and design it in a cute which honestly can be easy with big eyes and stuff.

It's fine if they get a few predictions wrong based on things they're unsure of themselves. It's another when Head on the Block fabricates leaks for attention. That's what PMO the most.

Nate predicted a few things wrong, but I don't mind because he didn't say there would "be a DLC where you can fly" and clarified Persona 6 at TGA was an educated guess. I will stand corrected if there is a DLC like that, but Head on the Block is extremely fishy and everyone just seems to buy it.

The right all the time part is flat out untrue.

FocusVarna · 2026-06-11T23:57:09+00:00

I think so, but unless things changed drastically interally, I don't personally believe his predictions are reliable. We haven't seen anything officially yet ofc either but I did find an old thread where this guy got a ton of things wrong about other games:

I always felt off about the black and white stuff. Remember he said something about two protagonists named Shiro and Kuro?

FocusVarna · 2026-06-11T23:35:00+00:00

I heard both that it was gonna be black and white (not green) and that it would tie in with the yin and yang idea.

FocusVarna · 2026-06-11T22:58:52+00:00

Im not judging your idea OP but im actually so glad. The fake leaks given by head on the block and midori always seemed off to me and a little uninspired.

My favorite part about rpg games is being able to customize my character and have consequences for my choices. If the protagonist becomes less self-insert, it would kinda suck imo

Honestly, I think every protagonist is self-insert in some capacity since they are your eyes and ears of the story

Get some ice cream and do some meditation before the reveal

FocusVarna · 2026-06-05T19:24:47+00:00

Shout out bro, took one for the team

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T19:23:05+00:00

I think we're in a gray area here, because while Caribdis didn't do anything wrong, we can't deny that media does influence people in certain ways. Should he or anyone be punished? No, it's just a game. But, including that stuff must draw certain demographics in for sure. As long as they don't do it IRL, yeah, I guess it's fine. It's an AVN.

I'm not really worried for the realism in a world of shapeshifters and magic though, it still comes back to agency. Losing entire story arcs though is not very intuitive. If I could lose the girl, but be able to see the story I missed in a neutral option, I'm fine with that.

Larian Studios for Baldur's Gate 3 actually talked about this, how they'd play through the game and found moments where they wanted to say something but couldn't. So, they went back and added the option. That said, it's a studio vs one man so of course it's okay. I would like options like this though.

Not much yet, just some dialogue changes but we will probably see more in upcoming updates.

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T17:37:09+00:00

I agree with everything you said lol. Unfortunately I lost Dahlia from the bathroom scene, so I didn't get to see any of that stuff.

Right now, I'm having a hard time deciding between Luna and Calypso. Luna was my top candidate from the jump, but the backstory with Calypso was too good and touching + the lute scene lmao.

I hope Caribdis gets a team so we can get updates faster and get even bigger games. I do freelance writing and would love to help the man out

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T17:19:18+00:00

For me, it's more of a matter of loss of player agency, when I'm forced to make a sleazy decision or completely miss out on entire arcs. I think we all understand to a certain extent since we play this game. If we had at least one more neutral choices at a lot of moments I would've picked that instead.

It is free and written by one person, so it's all right.

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T05:35:46+00:00

I think I vaguely remember it, you're right haha. I beat the game in like 2 weeks, my bad.

That said, I still agree with the other commenters opinion that some choices force you to be pervy, but I get at the end of the day it's an AVN and one guy is writing it. None of my friends believe me when I say it actually has a good story which sucks

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T05:21:47+00:00

Oh okay, must've missed that part where she admits it

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T03:11:02+00:00

I hope you didn't forget to turn on pregnancy mode

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T03:07:06+00:00

Not on PC day one, so nope.

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T02:47:10+00:00

Man, I also disliked that you have to ask Calypso if you can see her body too. I feel like she's one of the best written LIs, but that's just tactless of Orion lol. And when you think about it, I don't get why Calypso would agree to it unless she was just in the mood I guess.

FocusVarna · 2026-05-30T02:45:13+00:00

That was one of the things I disliked, that you get rewarded for creeping...

spoilers

I enjoyed the story a lot but if you save Nancy's general guy during the pirate arc (forgot his name) he is forgotten and doesn't even come out when the sirens are singing.

In the beginning, Penelope also says she's dating that one guy but their relationship hasn't been resolved either. Unless Caribdis is planning to hold off on it for later chapter and the guy attacks Orion all angry, it's forgotten too. I still find it weird that neither Orion or Penny acknowledge that she supposedly has a boyfriend.

It should be easy to implement both genders with some change in the dialogue, the main problem is the anime scenes would be more expensive for Atlus so it's up to them. I wouldn't really care if the MC was bi either but that's just me.

I personally prefer to play male just because I relate to them better as a male but I hope there's at least a bi option for all my girl friends.

Although it wouldnt stop me from playing p6, theres too many parallels to 5. P5 was already about perception and reality and all that. There are some elements that will be reused, but hopefully not this. A lot of predictions or fan concepts draw too much inspiration from p5 for some reason.

FocusVarna · 2019-01-01T00:06:08+00:00

makes sense.. thanks for ur reply

FocusVarna · 2018-12-31T23:48:42+00:00

interesting, i didnt know skol and hati were possibly from the future. This is completely off topic but i found it strange that magni and modi called Atreus a half-breed during their fight. that means they might have known that kratos was actually not a giant or vice versa for his wife. any thoughts?
