Many of the persona's have nudity. Some coarse language (Kanji's got quite the potty mouth). Penis Demon.

I'm probably late with this, but IGN did a rewind theatre on the trailer. Its actually very good and touches on some key points i didn't even get. Also they call all out GAF and credit us for some of the info too, always nice

If you have the consoles to do so, I'd recommend playing 3 and/or 4. Even people normally put off by anime high school shenanigans like these games.

Why did I sell my PS3? -__-
Ahh well, I might just watch playthroughs of P3 and P4 on YouTube.

A major theme in P4 was making oneself oblivious to truths.
P3's central theme was death but I don't think it dealt with that well.

Usually people who start with P4 (especially P4G, not the original) have difficulty going back to Persona 3 because of the gameplay differences.

Better yet, here's what ESRB had to say on Persona 3 Portable, as an example.
ESRB said:

Yes, and romance as well.

Nah. P4 deals with some light homosexuality/transgender issues. Some sexual imagery for sure, but, nothing explicit.
And I think for some parents, some of the religious iconography and that sort of stuff might be a bit much.
Mobile Suit Gooch
Grundle: The Awakening
Persona started at 3.
I'm part of the minority, then. I started with P4G and played P3 after. I still really enjoyed P3.

My MacBook Air would blow up if I tried to do that lol
That's a fucking terrible way of experiencing Persona.
Yup. Play in order of release, because it's hard to go back after gameplay improvements made. Persona 3 FES for ideal story experience (Portable cuts out animated cutscenes but adds direct party control in exchange) and then Persona 4 Golden if you have a Vita or Vita TV.
Here is what I found according to ESRB for Persona 4 Golden: http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=32562&Title=
It's pretty safe for a mature rating game I would say...at least I think. Although there is a Persona called Mara who is shaped like a penis but other than that you're fine. XD

Honestly, Persona 1 and 2 are such different experiences that they might as well be a different series. And although my personal experience with them is fairly minimal, I haven't heard much positive stuff about 1 (I've heard great things about 2, but it felt so dated that I couldn't really get into it)
Flying Toaster

And honestly only you and your parents can make that decision. But it is something you could introduce to him in the future.

Also murders (nothing too explicit though, they are just a major point in the stories).
And I guess the language used by some (like the shadows in P4).
I was playing stuff like this when I was 14... But I was also a weird kid, so idk.
You don't need a PS3...just use your PS2 if you have one or get one. Much cheaper alternative and you can play P3 FES and P4.
If you haven't played any other SMT games either, you have a lot to catch up on on the PS2.
I could make some other PS2 recommendations too...well worth the investment.

I'm pretty sure I was around 14 when I first played persona 3, it really isn't that bad.I feel like the main reason it's M and not T is a small number of persona that are very suggestive in nature. And even then, it's almost more comical than anything IMO
Also, Rise's shadow in persona 4 LOL

I have 1 and the 2 duology on PSN but I haven't played them because I'm saving them for the inevitable drought period between Persona 5 and 6.

Okay, follow me down the rabbit hole a minute...
So Citroën seems to be the car logo that inspired the school logo this time around. Interestingly, Lupin (which the Persona team said was a stylistic influence) drove a Citroën 2CV in The Castle of Cagliostro. Citroën was also very innovative in the late 1960's, ahead of its time in features, during the same time the original Lupin III manga was written. And just like the Persona team seems to be trying to innovate with P5.
This changes everything

Their statements about the velvet room potentially being against you (ie: its trying to persuade you from doing something, rather that guide you through a good route) are... something I'm all for.
if you have to handle the velvet room from behind bars and have to talk to igor from the other side (i imagine the assistants being a bit cheeky), i'd be pretty happy with that.
also: yay at guns and melee returning

Tell me about it...
Hmm, didn't consider that option. There are definitely a ton of games on the PS2 I would like to go back and play; especially JRPGs.
I said pages ago P5 in Tokyo is the TWEWY sequel Square never gave us.
14, I believe he said.
Man... it's been a long time. I got into this series when I was 15, back in 2009 after learning of it through Giant Bomb's Endurance Run.
Pretty much, yeah. The World Ends With You could have been more, but whatever. It had a fantastic first game, I guess that's a good way to remember it by... if it weren't for that stupid tease.

3 is a much darker game then 4. I mean, they shoot themselves in the head to bring out their Persona. lol
Also, Akanari's social link is some depressing shit. And that bad ending...
Same here. I will say though 3 took a much longer time for me to get into it, but once it picked up, it was amazing.

14 turning 15.
I searched up Mara. And got an idea lol. Any other name of a female persona so I can look it and get an idea?

Apparently 14. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a kid that age has seen far more explicit things than Rise's shadow and it's stripper pole motif, and that was about as bad as it got in either game

I played and beat FES at 13. It's really not that bad.
Eh he'll be fine. If he's interested in the game, then that's all that's needed.
It's not like you're letting the kid watch A Serbian Film or something.

I honestly didn't expect Persona 5 to garner this much attention. The reception is much bigger than I expected and the reactions are unanimously positive.

Mara's probably the worst, but Angel and Succubus, maybe?
SE really should capitalize on Persona's popularity and release another TWEWY game. But alas...
I played P4 when I was like 15. 14 is fine.
Demon nudity is generally not too explicit, and you can go through the whole game without ever reaching the dick demon.

Not a persona, but by far the most explicit sexual content in either game is this boss fight so here's a video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PB8wVHtl40
Pretty much, he's probably been watching porn for a couple of years now.

Why don't you say what kind of games he play? That would help.
Anyway, Mara is the most "popular" one, the rest are mostly offensive because of the name (Beelzebub, Satan, etc).

Eh, I kinda doubt it. High schoolers in Japan, especially Tokyo, is nothing new.
My six-titted waifu.
Like I said, with the rumor of SCE helping funding and making (and possibly marketing the game with Atlus),I don't really see the game being on PC happening.
Second, the developers you named in that post just happened to make most of the super niche games, with Compile Hearts being a studio under Idea Factory and Acquire being under GungHo (which happens to make most of its money from mobile and MMO games, which happens to have PC as a main platform). The problems with their games from being super niche is they are too weird for the regular market of gamers and JRPG fans in general. Despite the popularity of the systems they release their games on (DS, PSP, PS3, etc), they don't and will never have a bigger market than what they already have. After reviewing their financial situation, you could easily figure that releasing some of their games on PC (via Steam) could cope a bit for that publishing cost affiliated with Japanese games.
Furthermore, if you also take into account that, despite looking like "niche" games, the Persona franchise (and to some extent the Shin Megami Tensei franchise) are "hardcore" JRPGs at heart, which has a much much larger market available to them and that already makes them way more appealing to the regular market and JRPG fans alike. The main attraction with the Persona franchise is the idea of Murder/Mystery/Cult/Demons fused to a JRPG, which already makes it more appealing than the Final Fantasy franchise for a lot of people. The only advantage Square used to have for their games is the marketing power they bring for their big titles, but based on the impressions and reactions to the latest Persona 5 trailer, more people seem to be hyped for this game than FF XV.
