Perhaps the scariest part of Persona 5 is its calendar year. You play through almost an entire year as Joker, the leader of the Phantom Thieves. Nearly every day, something significant happens or allows you to do whatever you want. Playing through so many days is why the game is so massive. But I hope

The heart of the Persona series is the characters. In Persona 5 Royal, that means the 22 Confidants that make up the bulk of the cast. These are the characters you’ll want to spend the most time with and woo their hearts, either platonically or even more. This is where the gifts come into play

Persona 5 Royal is approximately 130 hours long, adding 30 hours of content to the original Persona 5. This time will fluctuate depending on how you engage with the game and your reading speed. It could take as little as 80 hours to finish or as many as 200. As always, completionists can expect to

Shujin Academy is the educational home for Joker and most of the Phantom Thieves in Persona 5 and its expanded version, Royal. Not only are some of the main characters and villains at this school, but you’ll actually have to attend classes on a daily basis. That is what I aim to cover today in

One of the strangest but most alluring parts of a video game is playing a miniature game within it. Occasionally, some games like Persona 5 will offer players the chance to try a minigame, a snippet of gameplay vastly different from the core mechanics. These moments are mainly meant to be some cute levity from
