That's fair but for the record I'm old and very much not an anime watcher of any kind, and playing Persona 5 for the first time absolutely hooked me despite it's occasional anime-ness. I've played 3 & 4 now and I think they're a bit more tropey maybe (I'm not expert, going on vibes)? I felt like the classic good-hearted teenage rebellion in an uptight country that dismisses it's young people themes in 5 were enough for it to break out of what I expected it to be a bit more and get it's hooks in me narratively.
you are absolutely correct, i didn't mean to be dismissive in my tone, though I did think Metaphor re Fantazio was perfect for me in how it used the mechanics of persona but in a whole new setting, though i do wish some of the iconic demons were there.
I didn't mean to imply you did so apologies if that's how it came off. I just thought it was worth saying for other non-anime people that I was exactly not the target audience and yet I didn't find it alienating at all.
