[…] the producer of the Persona series, Kazuhisa Wada, has explained why this tends to be the case. Speaking at the CEDEC + KYUSHU 2024 conference, Wada said that the Persona games are intended to be coming-of-age stories, with a theme of growing up. As such, choosing high school students to be the majority of the Persona protagonists and party members simply makes sense, as junior high and high school years tend to be when people start getting a taste of adult life.

As for the protagonists' gender, Wada said that was mostly down to the perceived differences of mental maturity of girls and boys. Wada noted that high school female students tend to have a "higher mental age" or be more mature than their male counterparts. As such, the males have more space to grow and evolve, making them a better choice for the protagonist in this context. With that said, Wada notes that it's not out of the question for the protagonists of the games to be either female or non-students.

So because women are supposed to mature faster than men. A male protag is easier to what write as needing to grow?
