I want a Persona game but with the characters in college instead of highschool.
Maybe Shin Megami Tensei has older characters? But the problem is the vibe is so different. A lot of anime/manga with older characters go for a completely different tone. The friendship and family theme heart of the Persona games, and the hopefulness, is essential to me. I just want some of that hope for but targeted at adults for once.
Imo "adult" aimed media often has a real problem with conflating maturity with misery and sex. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way because it's gotta be part of why so many adults still read YA books and play games with precocious teenage protagonists.
