Sure, just have them take up demon slots like they do in
the SMT4A Messiah DLC.

Are there any Persona/SMT podcasts that delve into the games individually like Ultima Final Fantasy Podcast? Looking for something other than just the latest Persona news each week, and more of a focused review/retrospective on the games, especially the older titles like Persona 2, SMT 1-3, DDS.

SLinkFM used to, but then P5 kept getting delayed so they sort of became a general JRPG podcast.
There might be some interesting things in their archives, though (I know they recently did an interview with Hardin about P5 and other things)

Not to boast about our community or something but unless you just want a audible Persona podcast.... we have super awesome discussions here. I've seen some awesome conversations about Persona 4 and Persona 3 here. Persona 1 and 2 aren't ignored here either. Playing through Persona 1 right now and got Persona 2 sitting on my Vita ready to go after I beat P1.
There really is people in here who are super knowing about the games and about who works on the game. It's actually kinda sad how I just know about Meguro and Soejima and that's pretty much it. Lol
....
I'll shut up....

Yea it's just to listen to while at work. It can get pretty boring without something to listen too and I've gone through everything I already know of and was just looking for some new ideas. Thanks though!

No.
My opinions are too revolting, and I don't exactly have a shock jock personality to compensate.

Yeah, true....
Just would love to hear a few Persona VA use their characters' voices together... I would pretty much cry on the spot and would have to leave. Lol

So does P5 run pretty solid on the PS4? I'm curious if the recent boost mode will have any effect on it
Runs fine. The only issue is some awkward load times when activating follow up attacks. It'd be great if Pro boosted that, but I doubt it.

Anyway, Mediking, you want a bloodthirsty yet charming female protagonist for P6, right?
How about a bounty hunter? a sexy one. So the usual suspects would complain. Hehehe

Hahahaha that sounds interesting. A female protagonist that was bloodthirsty in that she recognizes her new power and strength during her awakening. She feels like she can take on anything. Not cocky... but confident. Her friends and everybody would see that she's fearless... which would make the scenes where she's actually afraid super tense.
I have a really awesome idea for her Awakening but I would be slipping into fanfiction.... lol
Charming aspect comes in when you realize that she cares alot for her friends and what she believes in. And is quirky. Whenever she reads, she puts on glasses or something. Just cute stuff across the board.
One of the reasons why I want a female lead in Persona in some form so bad is because... I want more female leada in JRPGS in general and I wanna see a female lead in Persona get the same high quality treatment that Joker and Yu and Minato got.
I resonate with Minato strongly so the FemMC for Persona 3 Portable doesnt really do anything for me. Not a huge fan of her design either.
... welp. I rambled.

I only ever encountered a single weird performance thing which is if you're in your own room and open the map it for some reason takes longer to load than everywhere else(like in other places it's pretty much instant, in your own room there is like this 0.5-1 second delay). Might be patched by now.

While we're at it, my idea is that she's a third-year student by day and a bounty hunter by night. she and her friends travel across the nation to stop rogue Persona users from destroying the world. Obviously, there's some God/Goddess/demon pulling the strings.

It'd be cool to hear/read some analyses on the themes and storytelling and whatnot.
Mediking, have you played Tales of Berseria yet? Because the lead in that game is basically what you're proposing here, albeit with more rage than what you've got in mind.
Mobile Suit Gooch
Grundle: The Awakening
I was gonna mention that too.
Oh, yeah, I did misunderstand you at first, sorry. Though the more I'm thinking about it, the more I'm wondering if anything I said really holds all that much weight. I'm so used to seeing hardcore fans of Japanese media being really vocal about their love for the series, to the point that they claim it's a game solely for weeaboos, but I have no clue how the demographics actually shake out. I think it was even Dantis who said that he doesn't have much affinity for anime and manga, which is why he prefers the grounded character building and was why he was so worried about the flashy phantom thief motif detracting from that. But even though Persona 4 Golden keeps getting LTTP threads from people saying they don't have much love for Japanese media, that's still in the context of a message board that already has a higher barrier to entry than most. I really have no clue.
But I don't know if how the UI is being treated this time is that different from how it's been in the past. I think that it's just because P5's UI goes for it a lot more and relies on Japanese-specific typography conventions that Atlus USA is stuck because they can't skate by with minor imperfections anymore.
Like, even though Persona 4's UI looks pretty good, it's not really doing anything that different from most game UIs. Almost all of the text is contained in traditional dialogue and name boxes which read left-to-right, and the Japanese typeface, Skip, already has a good English character set, so it was easy to keep for the English release. The biggest changes they had to do were the comic text used in the all-out attacks (which look good) and the calendar (not so much, but I don't think most people noticed).
It went from using a single typeface for everything to using different ones for each of the three time labels.
But this is really exclusive to Atlus USA. It's just that no game has really had as strong of a graphic design identity before, so I don't know if there'd be any localization company that would know what to do with it. Games have had problems with handling text things like singular/plural labels, making sure the ascenders and descenders in English text don't poke outside of the text boxes, and more for decades now. It's just never been a priority by anyone, and P5 happens to be a really blatant casualty.
Divine ears too strong.

Wow. This sounds hype as heck. Day one.
!!!! DAEVIOUS!!! It's great to see you!!! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!
I played Tales of Berseria's demo on PSN and I think Velvet is pretty awesome. I really wanna play the full game but I'm juggling Gravity Rush 2 and Yakuza 0 at the moment. I will totally get it someday.
It's reassuring to hear that Velvet is kinda what I'm looking for. Lol
I've always been here, I'm just not one for talking much.
And yeah, Berseria's great because it manages to have a party full of "Edgy" characters without having them be either overbearing or overly self serious.
They're about as edgy as P3P Shinjiro, if that helps to form a picture of what I'm talking about.

As a bonus, Magilou's English voice actress is also playing Futaba in P5 so you can get a sneak peek at how she'll sound like when it comes out.
