Persona 5 was a ridiculously long game, and it looks like the next title from the devs behind it, Metaphor: ReFantazio, will take up just as much of your time.
]]>With Amazon Prime Day 2024 now live, fans of the Persona series have reason to celebrate as Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Tactica are on sale. Additionally, the remake of Persona 3, Persona 3 Reload, is available at a significant discount. These epic JRPGs offer some of the best value in gaming, often providing over 100 hours of gameplay. If you aren’t familiar with this blockbuster franchise, let me share why Persona should be on your Amazon Prime Day shopping list.
]]>While Atlus fans are still waiting on an actual announcement, leakers are currently claiming that Persona 6 will launch across multiple platforms.
]]>You're reading that right, Persona 5 is being released again, this time as a mobile and PC game, though it stars a new cast of characters.
]]>The Persona 5 Royal Iwai Confidant makes gun combat more useful than usual, giving you a chance to deal extra damage when your SP is low and even inflict status ailments without using a Persona skill. Iwai’s Confidant functions a bit differently from others, with a steep stat barrier that blocks you from starting, even though the Confidant unlocks early in the game.
]]>Spending time on the Persona 5 Royal Strength Confidant is your ticket to some powerful new Personas and methods to buff your party. Caroline and Justine set you with several fusion tasks for each rank, some of which require you to reach a certain level before you can complete them.
]]>The Persona 5 Royal Shinya Confidant unlocks a selection of handy gun abilities that makes Palaces much easier, but you don't have much time to work on it. Shinya's Confidant opens up late in the game, so unless you aim for the true ending, you only hav a few months to work on it. Make sure to give Shinya his favorite gifts to help decrease the time it tanks to reach a new Confidant rank, most of which are suitable for the budget of a humble supernatural high schooler such as yourself.
]]>Maxing out the Persona 5 Royal Haru Confidant is one of the RPG’s tougher social challenges. Haru is the last permanent party member you recruit, and one of the highest stat requirements in the game blocks you from progressing past the Empress Confidant’s earlier stages. Make sure to plan ahead if you want to reap the benefits of cultivating your relationship with Haru – namely, the opportunity to plant seeds that sprout into restorative vegetables - and bring Haru gifts to speed the process up.
]]>The Persona 5 Royal Futaba Confidant offers some of the most useful extra abilities in the game, so even if you aren’t keen on helping Futaba grow as a person, it’s in your best interest to spend time with her anyway – and give Futaba the gifts she likes to help deepen that relationship faster.
]]>Reaching the Persona 5 Royal true ending means making the right choices at the right time, planning your activities carefully, and meeting some strict deadlines. It takes a bit of effort, but the reward is more than just seeing some new ending scenes.
]]>He may join late, but spending time raising the Persona 5 Royal Akechi Confidant is vital if you want to reach the true ending. Akechi’s Confidant has some new components in Royal, so if you played the original, don’t expect the same strategies to work – namely, you actually have to engage in the relationship, since the Justice Confidant won’t level up on its own.
]]>Investing time into the Persona 5 Royal Sojiro Confidant is about more than just making a nice cup of coffee. The skills you unlock while deepening your relationship with Sojiro are vital for keeping Joker and the rest of the party fighting fit during the long slog through some of the RPG’s more difficult Palaces.
]]>Maxing out the Persona 5 Royal Maruki Confidant is essential not just for unlocking the game’s true ending, but for accessing some of the best Confidant abilities as well. Maruki, the Councillor, gives Joker a chance to power up his attacks and restore SP, the latter of which is especially handy when you want to finish a Palace quickly without leaving to stock up on items.
]]>You need to max out the Persona 5 Royal Faith Confidant, Kasumi’s Confidant, if you want to unlock the third semester and reach the game’s true ending. It also unlocks some of the best abilities in the game.
]]>Boosting the Ryuji Confidant in Persona 5 Royal goes beyond just learning more about the school rebel. It unlocks a range of abilities for your vulgar companion and even a handy exploration ability that makes exploring Mementos much easier. Unlike other Confidants, such as Ann's Confidant, you don’t need to meet any stat requirements to progress with Ryuji, making this one of the easier relationships to max out.
]]>Focusing on the Persona 5 Royal Ann Confidant is essential if you want to boost your relationship with Ann – and see a unique romantic scene later in the game – but there’s more than just friendship at stake. In Persona’s usual fashion, a set of gameplay perks comes with raising your Confidant level.
