Current Events > How's everyone enjoying Persona 5 Royal so far? >_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

Saw the new trash clean up scene. It was alright. It had a few funny moments like councillor literally doing a Salt Bae impression. What the fuck lol.

But it was mostly just there to show Kasumi doing a sick backflip and Joker wanting to learn how to do that plus obviously add her to da harem cuz this is a persona game and if you're not shoving your cock inside 10 chicks in 1 playthrough, you're not playing it right >_>

Are you guys following a Social Links guide? Dont know if I wanna do that or just wing it

I am not. From what I've read, the extra nights added in and extra gameplay at the end give WAY more than enough time to finish everything,

So, I'mma do what the loading screens say. Take my time.

Hell no. Following a guide for a 100 hpur game sounds like a nightmare. I'm just playing however. I'll max all the s links n NG+ when all my social stats are maxed

That additional money they give you for a prior save is a little OP at the beginning.

tell me about it. i had a sp adhesive 3 by the second palace. >____>

i think you can do it relatively easily without a guide if you just level up the temperance and fortune confidants. not sure what levels you get the stuff that lets you save time in this version though. but yeah just do that and make use of your rainy days/buy the drinks on sundays. also don't forget that you can level up confidants faster if you have a persona with a matching arcana on you when you hang out with them.

---

Where's the additional money at?

Also I think I'll just wing it like last time. It feels restrictive and against the nature of the game to follow a max S Link guide. I understand why one would do it though

---

Not gonna bother, heard most of the new content is unlocked after the main game. Not gonna play another +100 hours to reach the new stuff.

You get all the bonus stuff after checking the cardboard box in your room after a certain date. I think it's when free-roam finally unlocks

There's sprinkles of new stuff all over the place, but yeah, the big parts are towards the end.

---

I got to the new shopping area and it's alright so far. You can buy incense that increases persona stats and play pool which increases a random social stat. You can also buy accessory that give element amps to everyone and food that restores a good amount of SP.

Also this is where you can S Link with Akechi since his S Link is revamped >_>

---

They throw sp recovery items and other things to restore them at you way earlier. Kinda makes it too easy to clear the first palace in one day supposing you wait a few days to raise social links before heading in.

I decided since I've beat the original game before to grab Messiah p and the one that has an SP drain attack, and save myself some effort slogging through battles to grind a few extra levels in the top floors. Made it to the second to last save point before returning to the twins.

---

Oh wow, I tried playing darts and it's a legit minigame where you gotta aim (unless billards, which is just dialogue).

I'm guessing some of Sega's Yakuza team came over and did this lol. It even has all the Yakuza dart sound effects

---

I literally cant hold all these personas. Goodbye Pyro Jack :(

Im trying to hold on to Arsene until I get his debuff skill

Being limited to 6 slots isn't too bad early on if you fuse them but by the second palace it's just overwhelming even without the ones you can only get via fusion.

---

You get 8 slots after palace 1 and 10 slots after palace 2

Yeah but they also have like 10+ new enemies you can recruit and over half can appear before the first save room inside of the second palace. :/

---

Just delete the old ones as you go >_> That's what I do. Just get them from the compendium later

I mean. I'm using Messiah p lol. There's not a trophy for completing the compendium this time around.

---

Oh wow, you get the video game console WAAAAAAAAY earlier now. The junk shop by Leblanc sells it instead of having to wait until Akiharbra-whatever to unlock.

Most of the old trophies were moved to in-game awards at the Thieves' Den. All you get is currency to spend on artwork and models and stuff tho >_>

If you're not doing everything in your power to romance Kawakami you're playing the game wrong

Kawakami is literally best girl in Persona 5. So obviously I am.

Doctor>>> teacher

Can't reiterate how much I love not being told to go to sleep every single day that has story stuff leading from one palace to the next. Sure you can't leave Leblanc but that leaves studying, reading, tool making, coffee making, cleaning, training for hp, or watching a DVD. And the follow-up call to a lot of social links that gives an extra chance at points to the next rank, OMG.

Quality of life improvements.

---

How much does it take to increase the rank in a social stat? I've pumped quite a bit into Knowledge and I'm still on the first tier. Also, it seems like I need "Bold" guts to do quite a few things, so I'm also pumping quite a bit onto that

It takes a bit, there thing about those skills is they basically try and force you to have to figure out an optimal routine for them. When you can't leave Leblanc you usually can still study so that's +2 points towards that. Then throw in a rainy day at the library and going home to do the crossword and watch a DVD, it helps get you up. They take awhile to raise but that's one of the few realistic things about the game lol.

Go to the movies ASAP to get a huge guts boost. Also if you study at the library, you get knowledge and guts boost

I kinda hate using a guide for my answers.

I always want to be a smart ass, but the game actively punishes you for it.

Still, I want to max my S links.

I played with that a bit. I initially started the MC as being very really straight laced and timid in the real world and bad as fuck smart ass when he was joker, and then as time went on his joker persona started to bleed through into his real world persona. I just thought it made for an interesting character.

Yeah, I went to the movies by curiosity, and I went to the caf to get more guts too. How many points do I need to get to Bold? Also, how do I get kindness points?

Shibuya underground has a flower shop with bio-nutrients. Buy that and feed your plant every now and then. It's easy kindness. The flower shop also has a part time job you can work at to get kindness. It's a good source. You're gonna need level 2 Kindness to talk to Anne. There's a bookstore with a book on kindness/other things and a DVD you can rent for kindness/other things as well.

You also can clean Leblanc at night if sojiro is there and get an extra point towards your link with him while you're at it.

---

I forgot to see the movie in the first month for guts so now I'm stuck eating big bang burgers just so I can unlock the social link (and benefits) for best girl.

BlueMage279 posted...

play as other characters how?

on the 2nd floor, there's panels you step on to change characters and costumes. You can even turn into Morgana as cartoon form and irl cat form

---

So I got that showtime attack with Ann and Morgana and they really put emphasis on her boobs jiggling in the middle of it. I lol every time I see it >_____>

---

This game is crack tbh. Once you get past that TOO DAMN LONG tutorial the quality shines.

---

Finally ate enough burgers to call kawakami. :)

---

I got the councillor to the s link cap before vacation but man I've been neglecting Akechi hard. Plus I haven't done any of the twin dates yet >_> So much to do and not enough time

---

Mishima is a real life twitch mod

---

Mishima is such a beta nerd

---

Chihaya gets Affinity Reading waay earlier. It's at rank 5 instead of rank 10. Rank 10 now lets you see what s link answers give the most affection points.

That's nuts >_>

---

Chihaya is underrated waifu. She's adorable

---

Hell nah. Chihaya is the worst waifu. She's literally a hick

---

If you have shit taste, yeah.

---

Ohya is the real underrated waifu.

She's constantly trying to be a bro and sneak you drinks and at rank 10, she takes you to your apartment, cooks you a full course meal, and fucks your brains out >_>

---

Ohya is the worst and Royal hasn't changed that.

Is it worth it if I already played the shit out of the original version?

I'd say so. I played the original when it came out and I'm having a blast with Royal
