With Metaphor: ReFantazio on the horizon and Persona 5 graduating well into seniority, speculative interest about the direction of Atlus' next mainline entry into the critically acclaimed JRPG series. Persona 6, though presently unconfirmed, has a plethora of exceptional footsteps to follow, mounting to a general expectation for a rousing tale complete with relatable themes that tread some facets of the complex human experience. A conditional crux of the Persona experience surrounds the characters that the protagonist meets and forms bonds with along the way, the Social Links, a system that has persisted through the series and directly contributes to character skill and stat improvements. This system is all but guaranteed to return in Persona 6.
