Persona 6 (LKRandom)

Persona 6 is the seventh installment in the Persona series of games. It was developed by Atlus and was released for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on March 18th 2025 in Japan and October 8th 2025 internationally.
The games takes place in an alternate democratic Hong Kong in the mid 2020s. Despite this, this Hong Kong still carries many of the issues seen in the real life city (eg: megacorporation dominance, corruption). The game follows a 16 year old High School Student as he and his friends stop the malevolent deeds done by certain individuals by joining together to become the Hope Rebellion.
==Plot==
14 years ago, the protagonist's father died in a tragic accident defending some South Asian friends from local triads. As such, his mother (with help from her relatives and friends) raised her son on her own. Over the years, the protagonist's mother was able to have a high position in a fairly big company therefore improving their quality of life.
The game begins in mid August with the protagonist starting their second year of High School at Tolera International School. After a pretty average first day, the protagonist walks to the train station with their close friend Aiden Reese. However, they are soon attacked by gang members who are assaulting some young students from a nearby school. Enraged, the protagonist intervenes and accidentally enters a mysterious world along with Aiden. They soon encounter Shadow Forms of those gang members in a dark back alley. Just as they are about to be killed, the protagonist awakens their Persona: Wong Tai Sin and defeats the Shadows. As a result of the shadows being defeated, the duo unintentionally frees a tanuki-wolf hybrid who calls himself Duardo. Duardo quickly explains what Personas are and that the world they are in is the Inequalsion which is a mysterious dimension linked to the human world which is where Shadows live. He also introduces Aiden and the protagonist to Villas: compounds created by the dark thoughts of select malevolent individuals. The group then returns to the real world where the real life gang members turn themselves in to the police while apologizing to the young students. After the students leave, Duardo appears in the a real world as a stray dog.

The game takes place over the course of a school year as the protagonist balances High School life and their life in the Inequalsion.
The protagonist lives with their mother in a medium sized North Point apartment and can explore areas in Hong Kong. During the weekdays, the player is limited mainly to the urban areas although they can go to other areas on Friday afternoons and weekends. Like in Person 5, the main transportation system is the subway although the player can take a bus, ride a bike, take the tram or take a ferry at certain times. The player may engage in several activities like partaking in part-time jobs, studying, hanging out with friends, shopping and preparing for battle. A certain amount of these activities can increase the protagonist's stat performance such as their Max HP and SP. There are also a variety of minigames.
Using their mobile phone, the player can chat with other characters in the game.
Confidants return from Persona 5 although they are a little different as there are some characters who do not correspond to the Major Arcana but will improve the team's physical, magic and non-combat skills.
