>>5774>Interesting, most of the mainline SMT protags are students as well right?They're not all students but they tend to be young. I can't speak for SMT1 and 2 (although iirc Aleph has a very weird backstory that makes him abnormally young?) but:
>in SMT3 the MC is a high school student>in SMT4 Flynn is 18 years old and all 18 years old has to go through the gauntlet rite just like all the other 18 years old in his kingdom so he's a very young adult but has a DLC high school uniform if you want because one of the NPC and final boss is a high school girl>in SMT4A Nanashi is 15 years old and treated as a kid by everyone around him>in SMT Strange Journey the MC is an adult but it's kind of a spinoff but not totally. It looks like it's only a spinoff just because it's not taking place in Tokyo>SMT5 as a 18 years old protagonist in his last year of high school>other spinoffs like Sould Hackers or Raidou Kuzunoha's games or Devil Survivor 1 and 2 have high school students as protagnists but it's usually not plot relevant at allMy guess is that Atlus is way more likely to put important adult playable characters or NPCs in their games than make them silent main characters. In a way, that's kind of what they did with Maya and all the P1 characters in P2. I wouldn't mind it again in P6 but it all depends on the plot and the characters themselves. Atlus keeps making a lot of spinoffs to have more money for their main projects, teenage main characters are good when it comes to marketing because teenagers can relate to them in the moment and adults can still relate to them through their own experience when they were younger. I can see them having adult main characters in more experimental games like in Strange Journey or Catherine.
>Leaked protag is cute so expectations are high.Same, I'm looking forward to seeing the other playable characters.
