Like, I get it, these games certainly aren't made for 8 year-olds, but when asked to describe the content, fans will often give a detailed list of some of the content, including the murder, sexual content, social commentary, and suicidal characters, which could give the impression that it's super dark and mature and strictly meant for adults only.
Then you actually play the games and they're basically a shonen anime in game form. A teenage power fantasy, where you battle monsters with a loyal group of friends who worship you, and you can date a truckload of women all at once, even your own teacher in P5. The games have silly anime tropes and they all end with the power of friendship saving the day. In P5, the entire plot is written to appeal to edgy teens, considering it's about rebelling against "rotten adults" but the Phantom Thieves never grow past this simplistic ideology and never actually make any significant structural changes to society.
The M rating can be used to say these games are exclusively for an older audience, but it's worth noting that the games have a lower age rating in Japan. Vanilla P3 and Vanilla P4 are rated 12+ in Japan, while Vanilla P5 is rated 15+(I'm not sure about the rereleases).
So, what's the deal? If these games are made for a younger audience, then why do they feature all this mature content. Well, it is my personal belief that when it comes to age ratings, the CONTENT is almost meaningless. Avatar: The Last Airbender is a show where the main character's entire family is brutally murdered before the show even begins. Yet, it's a kids show. Because what REALLY matters is the presentation. How it's presented. So, how does Persona present its darkest content? Well...
The murder is generally never presented in more explicit detail than what you'd find in a T rated game.
The sexual content is generally not explicit and far from the main focus of these games, Kamoshida's sexual abuse of Shiho is never shown, and the characters never say the r-word. Also, most of the fanservice is focused on teens instead of grown adults.
The social commentary tackles serious issues, but often simplifies them and turns them into superhero fantasy fodder, and the message is generally some form of, "bad things are bad."
The themes are near universal in their application, and the games beat you over the head with them to the point of nausea, even though "truth good, lies bad" is hardly a difficult concept to grasp.
Shiho and Ken never kill themselves. Shiho is a side character who stops getting focus after the first arc of the game, and Ken also stops mattering after the whole Shinjiro situation. Their trauma is never explored in much detail, like it would be in something like OMORI. Also, none of this is as explicit as a character in Ace Attorney, a game series with a generally lower age rating than Persona.
All that to say, I do think a distinction should be made between something like Persona, and games that actually feature violence, sexual content, and adult themes in excruciating detail.
