Although it wasn't part of the franchise's original concept, social simulation has become central to the Persona franchise. Although it might change a little, much like how Persona 5 upgraded Social Links into Confidants, Persona 6 will undoubtedly feature a social life for the protagonist that involves careful time management and a balance of different activities. Given how useful Confidants already are, Persona 6 could consider focusing on upgrading the protagonist's schedule rather than changing the Confidants themselves. Atlus could use this game to give the protagonist -- and therefore the player -- far more free time to make friends.
