I know this is a P5X thread but I think Persona 6's antagonists should be people so wholly roped up in their past that it's altering reality. Like not just nostalgia but also depression, anger, petty desire. Like an artist who got snubbed and is so fucking pissed the BBEG uses him as a font to alter the city into the art exhibit that he can never let go of, or a sailor with survivor's guilt that feels so imprisoned on that same stormy night that the weather's gone out of whack. Maybe the dungeons could be called Prisons and the bosses Wardens. Similarly, the protags are teens who let go of past hangups and have freed themselves in the metaphysical sense, thus granting them personas. Said Personas would have a freedom motif, like explorers, magicians, astronauts, people who are in some way "unbound". Protag-kun, being half American, has a cowboy Persona
