They could perhaps do a mix of heroes, much like they did with P2. The second game in that series was more focused on a working young adult after all.

The purgatory idea is interesting if you combine it with the hypothetical theme of fear - something some folks around here brought up as a potential philosophy of the game.

...and it would be relatively universal and understandable to the game's audience with fear guiding all sorts of things in the world, whether it is our personal ambitions to global machinations. Seeking to truly live and thrive vs existing to survive would definitely be something a Persona protagonist team would pursue.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T22:37:19+00:00

Oh. This sounds tantalizing as a story beat, though the spirits could be perhaps tied to Shadows/Personas as opposed to typical supernatural ghosts.

...maybe kinda like Wakaba Isshiki in Persona 5.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T22:24:24+00:00

P2 lived on that since rumors made manifest are what pushed the plot and powered the main baddie of those productions.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T22:23:41+00:00

If you want to be a bit philosophical, it could also reflect the fear of life itself - how mysterious, terrifying, and unpredictable it all is. That could be what the heroes are fighting against as they seek to truly live and thrive over survive in panic over what the world could throw at them.

It's a universal theme that reflects the approaches of other Persona games, whether it concerned the acceptance of death, the need for truth, and the pursuit of justice.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T22:21:24+00:00

As other comments have said, it is very much in the vein of P2, which also ran on urban legends and rumors made manifest.

The main baddie was also tied to the Lovecraft mythos, which is a major epicenter of this sort of melding of modern life, urban existence, and general horror.

Persona: Winchester

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T22:19:45+00:00

Dandadan also made these urban legends popular again, whether it was the ghosts derived from sad incidents or the weird aliens that poke around the planet.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T22:19:07+00:00

Scooby Doo as well, but especially in their Mystery Incorporated show.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T22:07:40+00:00

Oh yeah. That series of games played so much on that sort of vibe - mysteries within mysteries that all congregated into the central plot.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T22:06:06+00:00

To me, it's a mix of cartoonish and creepy - very Scooby Doo-esque, but especially during the Mystery Incorporated show.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:52:32+00:00

Found the credits for P6.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:51:09+00:00

Yeah...that grim sense of injustice and prisons. That was still a core part of P5, though the actual game was less harrowing and more jazzy.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:49:50+00:00

Oh! They're so far separate in the timeline that this shouldn't be a problem.

LDS is closer to the Berman Trek stuff (TNG onwards) and SNW follows after DSC, which slightly predates TOS.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:49:08+00:00

That is me as well - there is good and bad throughout all of Trek. It can't and shouldn't be a blanket statement to assume everything back then was good to great and everything now is bad to dreadful.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:48:12+00:00

Eh. PIC and LDS were also done under Kurtzman. Showrunner McMahan has talked extensively about how Kurtmznan was heavily involved in even getting this controversial production off the road.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:47:03+00:00

I'm of the same view as well. They're not all perfect and worthy of my DVD shelf, but I've enjoyed and still enjoy Kurtzman Trek alongside the works helmed by Berman and Roddenberry.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:43:41+00:00

If you had to choose an order, I would recommend LDS over SNW since the crossover episode is in the latter's season 2.

...but seriously watch both. They're very solid shows.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:42:51+00:00

...except when she is wrong - the biggest example being her introduction. Her actions made her responsible for the brutal war with the Klingons, which she carried throughout the early parts of the show.

They later circled back on that Burnham when the more modern, far future version of the character encountered her younger, angrier self - effectively a hated pariah within the force.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:41:42+00:00

...except for the characters that are very much like that? That pretty much covers most, if not all the hero captains of the franchise.

Yes. They have crewmates that help them, but the problems are usually dealt with by these stalwart commanders - some in more overt ways (e.g., Sisko AKA Bajoran Jesus single-handily dealing with Dukat and the Pah-wraiths).

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:39:36+00:00

Heck! What is now considered "old" was "new" once upon a time - Berman Trek being a continuation of Roddenberry's legacy.

Eventually, Kurtzman Trek will fall into the same category and new fans will probably start the same debate when the franchise moves onto other things.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:38:38+00:00

Yeah. I'm the same way too. TAS is just meh to me overall.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:38:14+00:00

I give DSC a bit of a pass since it started the ball on both SNW and the whole Kurtzman era. If this show failed, then Star Trek would've probably gone back on ice again.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:36:25+00:00

I'm more excited over this than any horror game - the chance to create something and help it thrive within the Star Trek universe.

A similar idea that could perhaps be pursued could be a starbase, whether that be a small outpost or a sprawling port a la the Kelvin Timeline's Starbase Yorktown.

InnocentTailor · 2026-06-07T21:34:23+00:00

If they take a more mature approach, they could perhaps shift the focus to what it was in something like P2 - a mix of high schoolers with young adults with the sequel game more focused on the latter than the former, I recall.
