This game looks like the underrated Square Enix game " The world ends with you". Funny how companies like to steal ideas from the true and correct source, and make a shameless clone that not only worsens the genre, but leaves me with a sad and daunting life. F Persona 5, F PERSONA 5!!! MOre like persona why does this game exist
@@macalloway1 Ehhh, those only restore during battle and depending on party lineup and Persona lineup, you can pretty much kill all the enemies in less turns than it would take to get a respectable amount of SP back from the SP Adhesive. Having those items on the ready is a lot better, alongside Sojiro's coffee and curry, in the long run.
I've been playing this for two days and have been shocked at how much depth and strategy it has. I just watched this video and realized I haven't even scratched the surface yet lol. Great video. Earned a sub from me.
3 days for me. Plenty of people have been telling me to play it ever since joker got into smash. My friends love it, youtubers i watch love it. And now that its on gamepass for xbox im falling in love with it.
Got i cant wait for 6 hopefully they port it to pc cause i dont have a ps4 or 5….. i’ve been waiting for 5 to come out on other platform and finally bought it on switch and pc. Honestly i wished they ported the game much earlier but thats that
I've been playing the crap out of this finally and I keep having to check guides. Most of the guides make the game even more confusing somehow, but this one felt concise and helpful. Very good points explained in a very digestible way.
I would suggest instead of doing just one backup save, consider doing seperate saves inbetween dungeons or after large story events. You want to save often, but you also want to have some time inbetween saves so you can go back on any mistakes or tasks you forgot to complete.
*Best money farming tip:* Make a Persona with Null Physical, Confuse, Confuse Boose, Aliment Boost. Then solely focus on that Persona's LUCK stat (Higher the LUCK, more money you get) You can boost Persona Stats with Imprisionment and the Gallows that's unlock after securing the treasure to Futaba's Palace. Then, check which Memento Boss is susceptible to Confuse and solo the boss fight to make things go faster. *Confuse the boss:* If your LUCK stat is high, every time the boss throws away money, it'll be around $100k-$200k+ You'll max out to $10 million in under an hour depending on how often Boss throws away money. *Bonus:* You'll get a bunch of physical/magic mirror type items along with getting rich.
My advice to new players would be: take your time. Honestly, even the game says that. Don't rush shit. Enjoy the story, the experience. I wish I could experience P5 for the first time. You don't have to Max or even meet every single confidant in your first playthrough. You can have a second or even a third run. I played vanilla P5 10 times and royal 5 times.
@@joellopez143 Royal is essentially the definitive version. It adds loads of content, new characters, a whole extra semester, and an extra Palace. Enhances an already great game to have even more depth.
Do you not have a life!?! I don’t even want to begin thinking about how long it would take to beat P5 and P5R 15 times combined!! I mean even being generous it would still take over 2000 hours to do that! And that is a low estimate!!
@@zemoth941 I did. I bought it on PS4 at first, all the rave reviews got me thinking this game is the bee's knees and it actually is, but just like with RDR2 there is all this obfuscating and confusing structure to it that makes me question every decision or direction I take. AND STILL, I bought it for PC and Switch these days because hell yeah, please confuse me again, Lady Ann
I have only played Persona 1 & 5R...and I was blown away how almost instantly 5R reminded me of the first game. The very essence I remembered of that awesome rpg was all there. It looks way polished and more detailed. It became one of my favorite PS4 rpgs almost instantly. I highly recommend it. Every little detail is so cool. The menu art, the music is it's own vibe and not to mute the TV when afk, and combat still reminded me of Persona 1 feel as far as "PERSONAAAA" like an anime power up lol.
I’m starting my first play through of this today after having never touched the Persona series before now. I know what absolutely none of these words mean, but I assume I’ll find out pretty soon lol. Saving this video for later so that I can watch it with context.
The point about fusing, this is very true for the first playthrough. I struggled a lot with okumuras boss fight (and like the rest of them too) bc I didn't fuse enough. But in my second playthrough pretty much no matter what I had I could win easily. I genuinely think I got a game over maybe once in the entirety of my second run. So yeah, but also it's just having a better understanding of the strategy of the game.
I only comment on videos that help me progress in Persona 5 Royal. Unfortunately for me, this is the only channel that has that kind of content. It sure is a great thing I hit that subscribe button. Great video, I can now be successful in everything that happens to be titled Persona 5!
I really miss this game and can't wait to play it on Steam! I got to the Okumura storyline in the original P5 on PS4, but I got distracted by The Witcher 3 and upgrading my PC. I haven't touched my PS4 since then, so it's been almost 5 years since I played it. Looking forward to getting into it on my PC and Stream Deck!
The last tip is crucial. As there is only 16 slots. And for me, i like to use a lot so i can make sure i don't make a mistake but also I ended up skipping certain important dates without realizing how important they are. Though, i see this game is more packed than i thought
Great guide! Was struggling for money a bit, but became friends with the politician guy and can make around half a mil on memento trips now. Absolutely overpowered.
main tip. play it on merciless so the game will force u to learn all the mechanics to beat the bosses. also for the love of god increase goro's social stats along w the shrinks one or youll miss a whole god damn palace at the end. most importantly, take your time.
For the Tae SP recovery method, i'd say to get the SP recovery items from machines til after the second dungeon. You should be able to get Tae to rank 7 not long after the dungeon and get all her items at half off. Only then would I get the SP accessory. At least one would help immensely. Later in the game, once you get the Victory Cry skill, just keep a persona with it at all times.
Oh yeah I definitely would grab at least one. I like to work on her confidant after getting Sojiro to rank I think it is since you can’t level it up anymore until you finish futaba’s Palace.
You can also use the persona talent that doesn't use up items after a baton pass, then just baton pass to joker and use something like a soma and bam! Infinite sp.
i don't make backup saves, unless I'm trying to get a missible content thats worth, but by backup I mean to avoid saving my games until that point, but making another save file if its a multiple build game, like Souls where I can have a save for every class I want to play
I do the Palaces late as possible I go the first day basically finish it than go the last day and finish it. So I can meet up with the members of the team and build rank the opposite of what you said but I get the same things done 😂
Why do I know all of these tips you mention on the video within my first run of my play through. I was hoping for more tips like when is the best time to buy this item, or when is the best time to level up your bonds with other character or what is the best way to level each stats with minimal effort. I felt proud that I was following these tips long before you came around, but it just felt like I'm not getting what I wanted. I guess it time to pro gamer this alone once more.
Easiest way to farm money is in momentos with ryuji instakill skill + Jose money earned for collecting stars all the way maxed/highest you can make it at that time. Same with experience.
I recently finished my first playthrough of the game and I got the vanilla ending. I've been researching non-stop on how to get the 3rd semester and I feel so stupid for not backing up my save data and not spending the time right. I wanted to know the fastest way to get to the 3rd semester so yeah now I know why I messed up
I just did the same and I'm furious, Even tho I loved the ending I got (I've never played the OG Persona 5) I was confused cause I heard the game has a third semester, Then after looking it up finding out your supposed to rank up Maruki?! Who just didn't seem like an interesting character to me so I never bothered, I figured third semester was just part of the game so I spent all my time with other confidants that I liked lol, I didn't know it required near Fromsoft level steps to reach it so mannn I got so upset, I put in almost 100 hours up to Sae Palace just for my system to mess up and delete all my save data, Then recently just put in almost 200 hours to reach the end, Only to find out I missed out on a good chunk of the game, And I never backed up any save data, So only way is to play through again. I just don't have it in me now lol
@@butterschunkmcdonalds5333 If you have the game on PC you can load a new game plus save, use cheat engine to fast forward to the day you can start Maruki, get his rank to 9, then fast forward to the day he leaves. Fast forward again to the OG ending day and you’re set. If you’d rather do it normally, use the fast forward button during scenes and dialogue/skip scenes entirely. You’ll save a ton of time and get to the third semester so much faster.
@@KDThreeSixty Damn, Yeah wish I could use that but I'm on console, PS4. I've thought about fast forwarding thru it but I love the story and characters so much I feel like I'm doing it a disservice by speeding thru and not experiencing it again if that makes any sense lol. I thought about watching a playthrough to see what happens but I really don't like having to do that, Also I just bought Persona 4 Golden (Heard ALOT of great things about it) And was planning on playing thru it after finishing Royal. I'm upset I missed out on the new content but I also really wanna play 4 now that I have it, I'm torn on whether I should just replay P5R now or Go ahead and give 4 a try, Cause whatever one I choose I have a feeling will be the only Persona I play for a good bit as I don't see myself immediately going directly into the other one out of fear of getting a bit burnt out. Whatever one I don't play I'll probably wait a cool min before I get back into it. Either way, Absolutely loved my experience with P5R so far (Even if it's taken couple hundred hours) And I have a feeling I'll love the story and characters of 4 as well!
@@butterschunkmcdonalds5333 Yeah 4’s story and characters are amazing. It’s probably better to play 4 if you’re feeling close to burnout cause just playing 5 again might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
It’s an offline game they made available to pre install weeks ago. I’ve never had an issue with a game being available because of people trying to get on. That happens with online games with online servers.
I know, I pre installed it two weeks before it came out. I was only able to confirm that was the issue because that’s what it said the issue was on their website.
Ayo, Confidant interaction events repeat periodically until you do them right? I had an event for Yoshizawa to get her to rank 2, but there was also an event for Maruki which I went for since I dont have a Faith persona. Yoshizawa’s event will just reappear sometime soon right? Ryuji has also been harassing me every day for the last month to go out with him but I got other priorities since getting him to like level 4, so I’m assuming others work the same way.
It will reappear yeah, but Yoshizawa is free to talk much less often than Maruki, so I'd priorisitise her when you can. If you don't have a faith persona on you but had one previously, you can summon one from your compendium in the velvet room outside the Airsoft shop or in Kichijoji. There is a deadline for completing the confidants of some characters, so make sure you max rank them before that.
Yes she will reappear, but some characters only appear at certain times, and she appears a lot less than normal characters. Her confidant along with Maruki’s are very important so make sure you hang out with them as much as you can.
@@KDThreeSixty Are their messages RNG based or entirely scripted? I’m getting quite anxious now if it’s RNG since it has been a real long time since Yoshizawa texted now
@@finleymorris04 they’re scriped, one way to know if you can hang with her is by checking what other players did on each day. What’s the date for you in game?
@@KDThreeSixty aye dw, played for 12 hours today and got her to rank 5. Do confidant points cap out at a confidants rank? /are points detached from ranks? There’s some confidants I have gotten loads of points for but haven’t done tank up events with (I’ve aired poor Ryuji since early May) so have those point warnings been completely wasted or will they mean that I can basically keep levelling that confidant every time an event appears?
Sorry, quick question about how the dungeons timing works- so you have a set 2/3 weeks and then the next story beat triggers even if you beat the dungeon in the first week? Like say I beat the dungeon and then I’ve got an additional 1/2 weeks to do whatever I want until the next story even triggers? Hope that makes sense
me before buying the game: this shouldn't be too hard me after buying the game and seeing all the 102302 features that have to be used to have any sort of chance of beating it: _w h a t t h e f u c k_
Man that 5th palace ain’t no joke I wasn’t prepared I had to buy a lot of health items n put the game on easy cause it was no way I was beating that dude on hard difficulty that stupid green robot was the death of the runs
@@KDThreeSixty well, I haven't played a single Persona game yet, but for some reason this just looks awesome and I can't wait to get stuck in. I just don't understand how things work yet and what it all means, but I'll figure ut out and watch your stuff when I have the basics.
How different is Royal to normal? I’ve been playing persona 5 on PS and been loving it. Wondering if it’s worth buying Royal right after I finish, or better to leave it for while then come back to it later. Will probs buy it on switch so that it feels kind of different too, unless anyone would suggest otherwise?
A few new characters, more development for already existing characters. There’s also a few new features like the fusion alarm and a new location. The biggest difference is the new third semester which is about 10-20 of extra content. I would recommend waiting a bit unless you wouldn’t mind playing through the game again. it starts with a lot of small neat new changes and the big ones showing up towards end game
Ok i started playing this game like 2 months ago, racked up a few hours, then had hella exams. Resumed playing yesterday. How do you fuse personas? I fogor how to go to that prison cell 💀
So the confidants are stuck with their respective personas and fusion only affects the player's performance right? How do I make the confidants stronger?
Thanks for this! Super helpful video ☺️ I’m so excited to jump back into this game on switch this weekend. I played original a few years ago and I’m so excited to try Royal!
@@KDThreeSixty Could yo do a new video about cconfidants since there are new ones and there have been changes to the game since you did your video about confidants?
i keep getting my ass beat by a mini boss in madarame’s dungeon that nullifies almost everything. i don’t know if i should leave and try to strengthen my personas or keep trying until i get through
If what you’re using is not working, definitely go back to the entrance and try to change your lineup. If you think it’s doable with your setup then just keep trying
@@KDThreeSixty i ended up beating it by giving ryuji the atom ring and moving onto the third palace. thank you so much for the tips and hope to see more persona content!
Am I the only one who forgot that dungeons don't need to be done in one run, I spent an hour getting stuck on kamoshidas palace because I was a noob and didn't know had 14 days to do it lol
I'm a new player and the sp limit was annoying. The dlc comes with an item called "camera strap" that gives you sp on your turn whenever you ambush an enemy
Thanks for the video! I have a burning question though. I am about 10 hours into the game and already I came upon a spoiler. I read that - SPOILER AHEAD!! A guy named Goro is the villain? How big of a spoiler is it? Is it game ruining?
When you go to the velvet room you can put 2 personas together to make a new one that’s a lot stronger in most cases. You can put your favorite skills and traits from the personas used to fuse onto the new one. Each one is assigned to one of the confidants so the higher that confidant’s level the more bonus exp you get when you make it
Maaaaan. I've been playing this game on Easy and it has never been a problem. Just bought it on PC. Cruised thru everything all the way up until Okumura. Man, fuck him and fuck the designers who thought that was a good boss idea. I see elitists online talk about how easy he is if you are playing the game the right way - bro, if you replace the wrong skills because the skills you are using are working perfectly in your playthru with ZERO problems and then out of nowhere you run into a brick wall then it is *VERY MUCH* a game design issue. I'm gonna give it another shot tonight but I have to say it's really soured my experience so far.
When that happens to me I'll just usually just fuse new personas to the point where I lose almost all my money while the rest of my team uses items if what skills they have are not helpful to any fight. Buff items comes in clutch
Very funny video man! I love the money section because I just started my first playthrough and dungeons get me easily 30k-50k yen when I'm interrogating for money where as most of the jobs so far pay awful. I assume their main purpose is for getting some money and skill points.
@@KDThreeSixty I'm still a bit confused on how to hang out with anyone willingly. 😒😔🤦🏻♂️ Trying to figure out all the mechanics of the game is a bit difficult for a brand new player to the entire franchise to say the least.
@@Cthulhu92 whenever your day starts in the game, press r1 to open up your rail map. You can check each area of the map to see who is available and fast travel to them. Make sure you have a persona with the matching arcana
Here I was thinking this game was easy, then your SP recovery item tip tells me recovering sp is hard. Ahh the camera strap that one of the packaged in dlc's gave me must be completely OP. Maybe for my second playthrough I'll get rid of all those accessories and see how hard it is then.
I liked the game in the beginning but I started getting annoyed with how many different mechanics they were adding as I went along and I am extremely resistant to the grindy leveling up of the social skills. So I played up until I took down Kamoshida and uninstalled the game lol. I really do not need to go back to the game and this video gives me the reassurance that I made the right call.
that’s tough because the game is super good , if you just take your time & go back to the tutorials if you think you missed something then your good . i didn’t think it had too many mechanics but aye it’s not for everyone .
@@HypnoStellar For this game? It’s a case by case basis. A lot of new players try to rush through this game, get bodied by an easy skill check, then go and whine about a difficulty spike that isn’t there and quit the game. I wanted to hammer home why certain mechanics are useful so that people won’t hit roadblocks while experiencing the story. If learning about a mechanic or seeing random clips with no context ruins the game for you, I can’t really do anything for you.
The best way to farm money is actually the same as it is in real life. You simply hold a gun to someone's head, and you demand payment. Surprisingly effective!
Seriously disliked this game for the first 4 hours. Just finished the first palace and I’m obsessed. Still don’t understand much lol but I’m playing on easy till I get the hang of things.
One thing I discovered in P5R and have not seen covered was re recruitment of existing Persona. Basically say you have Arsene, Pixie and Kelpie in your roster and encounter Pixie again if you initiate hold up and ask pixie: "Lend me your power." She will join and merge with Pixie which already is in your roster meaning pixie will gain EXP I leveled up many "backburner" personas that way.
Thanks for pointing that out, I didn’t notice before. My rig does need to be upgraded, but the stuttering was cause by some error I made while I was editing/rendering. It wasn’t my rig
I feel like this game is just too much. And on top of all that they put time restrictions on everything. I'm about 10 hours in and I feel it's almost not worth it. Does it get better?
You’ve already put in a lot of time. I wouldn’t want to tell you to keep going only for you to still feel this way later. It does become easier to manage as you go though, you just gotta build yourself up. If you find yourself not enjoying it i’d recommend strikers instead

@@Matt_111E That would be a good idea yeah
@@KDThreeSixty great, thank you for the tips!
Why do I know all of these tips you mention on the video within my first run of my play through. I was hoping for more tips like when is the best time to buy this item, or when is the best time to level up your bonds with other character or what is the best way to level each stats with minimal effort. I felt proud that I was following these tips long before you came around, but it just felt like I'm not getting what I wanted. I guess it time to pro gamer this alone once more.
Did you look at my playlist? Lots of stuff in there
Easiest way to farm money is in momentos with ryuji instakill skill + Jose money earned for collecting stars all the way maxed/highest you can make it at that time. Same with experience.
It’s too good
I recently finished my first playthrough of the game and I got the vanilla ending. I've been researching non-stop on how to get the 3rd semester and I feel so stupid for not backing up my save data and not spending the time right. I wanted to know the fastest way to get to the 3rd semester so yeah now I know why I messed up
I have a spoiler free third semester video if you need one
I just did the same and I'm furious, Even tho I loved the ending I got (I've never played the OG Persona 5) I was confused cause I heard the game has a third semester, Then after looking it up finding out your supposed to rank up Maruki?! Who just didn't seem like an interesting character to me so I never bothered, I figured third semester was just part of the game so I spent all my time with other confidants that I liked lol, I didn't know it required near Fromsoft level steps to reach it so mannn I got so upset, I put in almost 100 hours up to Sae Palace just for my system to mess up and delete all my save data, Then recently just put in almost 200 hours to reach the end, Only to find out I missed out on a good chunk of the game, And I never backed up any save data, So only way is to play through again. I just don't have it in me now lol
@@butterschunkmcdonalds5333 If you have the game on PC you can load a new game plus save, use cheat engine to fast forward to the day you can start Maruki, get his rank to 9, then fast forward to the day he leaves. Fast forward again to the OG ending day and you’re set. If you’d rather do it normally, use the fast forward button during scenes and dialogue/skip scenes entirely. You’ll save a ton of time and get to the third semester so much faster.
@@KDThreeSixty Damn, Yeah wish I could use that but I'm on console, PS4. I've thought about fast forwarding thru it but I love the story and characters so much I feel like I'm doing it a disservice by speeding thru and not experiencing it again if that makes any sense lol. I thought about watching a playthrough to see what happens but I really don't like having to do that, Also I just bought Persona 4 Golden (Heard ALOT of great things about it) And was planning on playing thru it after finishing Royal. I'm upset I missed out on the new content but I also really wanna play 4 now that I have it, I'm torn on whether I should just replay P5R now or Go ahead and give 4 a try, Cause whatever one I choose I have a feeling will be the only Persona I play for a good bit as I don't see myself immediately going directly into the other one out of fear of getting a bit burnt out. Whatever one I don't play I'll probably wait a cool min before I get back into it. Either way, Absolutely loved my experience with P5R so far (Even if it's taken couple hundred hours) And I have a feeling I'll love the story and characters of 4 as well!
@@butterschunkmcdonalds5333 Yeah 4’s story and characters are amazing. It’s probably better to play 4 if you’re feeling close to burnout cause just playing 5 again might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
My tip? Play OG P5 first. I did and it made Royal feel even more in depth and special
It’s an offline game they made available to pre install weeks ago. I’ve never had an issue with a game being available because of people trying to get on. That happens with online games with online servers.
I know, I pre installed it two weeks before it came out. I was only able to confirm that was the issue because that’s what it said the issue was on their website.
Aye what's the background song u used?
The song is called no more what ifs. It plays in the Jazz bar in persona 5 royal
@@KDThreeSixty thanks a lot now I know it's in-game at least 😅
Ayo, Confidant interaction events repeat periodically until you do them right? I had an event for Yoshizawa to get her to rank 2, but there was also an event for Maruki which I went for since I dont have a Faith persona. Yoshizawa’s event will just reappear sometime soon right? Ryuji has also been harassing me every day for the last month to go out with him but I got other priorities since getting him to like level 4, so I’m assuming others work the same way.
It will reappear yeah, but Yoshizawa is free to talk much less often than Maruki, so I'd priorisitise her when you can. If you don't have a faith persona on you but had one previously, you can summon one from your compendium in the velvet room outside the Airsoft shop or in Kichijoji.
There is a deadline for completing the confidants of some characters, so make sure you max rank them before that.
Yes she will reappear, but some characters only appear at certain times, and she appears a lot less than normal characters. Her confidant along with Maruki’s are very important so make sure you hang out with them as much as you can.
@@KDThreeSixty Are their messages RNG based or entirely scripted? I’m getting quite anxious now if it’s RNG since it has been a real long time since Yoshizawa texted now
@@finleymorris04 they’re scriped, one way to know if you can hang with her is by checking what other players did on each day. What’s the date for you in game?
@@KDThreeSixty aye dw, played for 12 hours today and got her to rank 5.
Do confidant points cap out at a confidants rank? /are points detached from ranks? There’s some confidants I have gotten loads of points for but haven’t done tank up events with (I’ve aired poor Ryuji since early May) so have those point warnings been completely wasted or will they mean that I can basically keep levelling that confidant every time an event appears?
i can vouch for that last one because i lost all of my save data period in P5 vanilla. as well as over a month of real life playtime.
Oof I would be so mad
@@KDThreeSixty it took everything in me not to murder the one responsible.
I played this game b4 but I'm watching this vid purely because of the funny thumbnail
Warms my heart to know that it’s working for peope
Sorry, quick question about how the dungeons timing works- so you have a set 2/3 weeks and then the next story beat triggers even if you beat the dungeon in the first week? Like say I beat the dungeon and then I’ve got an additional 1/2 weeks to do whatever I want until the next story even triggers? Hope that makes sense
Event** sorry
Another tip: Take your time
The classic
me before buying the game: this shouldn't be too hard
me after buying the game and seeing all the 102302 features that have to be used to have any sort of chance of beating it: _w h a t t h e f u c k_
As long as you learn to abuse technicals and build some decently strong personas you should be good
Man that 5th palace ain’t no joke I wasn’t prepared I had to buy a lot of health items n put the game on easy cause it was no way I was beating that dude on hard difficulty that stupid green robot was the death of the runs
Yeah that palace trips a lot of people up from the difficulty spike. Definitely gonna make a guide for that fight
I did something where Joker is fighting alone and everyone else is in safe you. How do I get my characterz together again?

I didn’t understand a single thing but I really want to play this game. 😅
You're one of the realest fans
@@KDThreeSixty well, I haven't played a single Persona game yet, but for some reason this just looks awesome and I can't wait to get stuck in.
I just don't understand how things work yet and what it all means, but I'll figure ut out and watch your stuff when I have the basics.
@@daft990 Don't worry, once you finally get your chance you can come right back here and it will make way more sense. I'll have more guides up too
How different is Royal to normal? I’ve been playing persona 5 on PS and been loving it. Wondering if it’s worth buying Royal right after I finish, or better to leave it for while then come back to it later. Will probs buy it on switch so that it feels kind of different too, unless anyone would suggest otherwise?
A few new characters, more development for already existing characters. There’s also a few new features like the fusion alarm and a new location. The biggest difference is the new third semester which is about 10-20 of extra content. I would recommend waiting a bit unless you wouldn’t mind playing through the game again. it starts with a lot of small neat new changes and the big ones showing up towards end game
11: use Noir she is a beast
I like using her in late game
Badass video, bro..
Also you can summon a 1-hit ko persona in velvet room
Could you explain?
bought this game 2 years ago beat the first 2 bosses then stopped playing it should i try to complete the game is it worth it
Yes indeed
I like your tips
Glad I could help
Ok i started playing this game like 2 months ago, racked up a few hours, then had hella exams. Resumed playing yesterday. How do you fuse personas? I fogor how to go to that prison cell 💀
Look for a velvet room entrance. There’s one in Shibuya and one in the red light district. It’s a blue door
thx
So the confidants are stuck with their respective personas and fusion only affects the player's performance right? How do I make the confidants stronger?
@@-.....-.....-..............- watch this th-cam.com/video/5TArMLaCVgA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this! Super helpful video ☺️ I’m so excited to jump back into this game on switch this weekend. I played original a few years ago and I’m so excited to try Royal!
Glad I could help, enjoy royal!
i really want to get into p5 can anyone let me know which order to play all the p5 games including tactica?
Play P5 royal, then strikers, then tactica.
Um, Hello KD can you make a video on some tips on how to prepare for Merciless Mode? and what the difference between hard and mericless is?
They’re the same difficulty, but when you exploit a weakness, it’s a 1.5 multiplier for enemies and allies
@@Nobabadan Don't worry he knows, it's an inside joke
Play it and improvise along the way. That is the fun of it 🙂
Great game so far. I recently won 100000 yen! But used it for the fortune teller XD
That’s good, she is your best friend in this game.
How do you backup your saves?
I just meant like making another one in the game since you have so many slots. Your platform of preference should have a cloud save option too
@@KDThreeSixty Could yo do a new video about cconfidants since there are new ones and there have been changes to the game since you did your video about confidants?
@@NicolSD Yep, I got a ton of P5 coming for you guys. After I upload a general mechanics guide that will be the next video
@@KDThreeSixty Great! Persona 5 Royal is a fantastic game.
One thing I picked up upon completing this video is I need to just do everything I did to 100% Persona 4 Golden. 😂
@@EmptyxVoid 🫡 Salute, I know hardcore risette fan was hell
These tips work when playing "regular" version of persons 5? I also REALLY wanna date Ann..
Everything except for the fusion alarm and the jazz bar
@@KDThreeSixty Yeah thanks.sorry asking this two times
i keep getting my ass beat by a mini boss in madarame’s dungeon that nullifies almost everything. i don’t know if i should leave and try to strengthen my personas or keep trying until i get through
If what you’re using is not working, definitely go back to the entrance and try to change your lineup. If you think it’s doable with your setup then just keep trying
They are weak to nuke, try to capture one of those lion looking shadows
@@KDThreeSixty i ended up beating it by giving ryuji the atom ring and moving onto the third palace. thank you so much for the tips and hope to see more persona content!
@@fastbelt1542 atom ring ended up coming in clutch
@@unpopularbear77 glad I could help
Am I the only one who forgot that dungeons don't need to be done in one run, I spent an hour getting stuck on kamoshidas palace because I was a noob and didn't know had 14 days to do it lol
That’s better than trying to do it on the last day 😂
@@KDThreeSixty yea that's true, but I raged at the game for over an hour cause I kept dying to an enemy when I had no sp lol
I'm a new player and the sp limit was annoying. The dlc comes with an item called "camera strap" that gives you sp on your turn whenever you ambush an enemy
Yeah it sucks having to stop because of that
thanks for the tips
No problem
The LTG volume spike tho...
Forgive me I'm much better with the audio management now
Does these tips apply to The "basic" version of P5?
All of them except fusion alarm since it’s not in the original P5
@@KDThreeSixty ok.thanks.i havent started "vanilja" P5 yet but what i have heard you need to do a lot in it
Thanks for the video! I have a burning question though. I am about 10 hours into the game and already I came upon a spoiler. I read that - SPOILER AHEAD!!
A guy named Goro is the villain? How big of a spoiler is it? Is it game ruining?
That is a pretty big spoiler, I’m sorry that happened to you. There’s much more to the story than him, though.
Persona fusion hasn't been explained to me after getting several confidants. What is it?
When you go to the velvet room you can put 2 personas together to make a new one that’s a lot stronger in most cases. You can put your favorite skills and traits from the personas used to fuse onto the new one. Each one is assigned to one of the confidants so the higher that confidant’s level the more bonus exp you get when you make it
Can u rank up all of them in one play through or nah
Yeah it is, but it's not easy, especially on the first playthrough
Maaaaan. I've been playing this game on Easy and it has never been a problem. Just bought it on PC. Cruised thru everything all the way up until Okumura. Man, fuck him and fuck the designers who thought that was a good boss idea. I see elitists online talk about how easy he is if you are playing the game the right way - bro, if you replace the wrong skills because the skills you are using are working perfectly in your playthru with ZERO problems and then out of nowhere you run into a brick wall then it is *VERY MUCH* a game design issue. I'm gonna give it another shot tonight but I have to say it's really soured my experience so far.
When that happens to me I'll just usually just fuse new personas to the point where I lose almost all my money while the rest of my team uses items if what skills they have are not helpful to any fight. Buff items comes in clutch
Downloaded this game on a whim thru xgp...played for like 4 hours and still don't have any idea what's going on..still hooked tho
Don’t worry, I got a video coming for you tomorrow
Very funny video man! I love the money section because I just started my first playthrough and dungeons get me easily 30k-50k yen when I'm interrogating for money where as most of the jobs so far pay awful. I assume their main purpose is for getting some money and skill points.
Yeah they’re definitely better for social points than money. If you get instant kill from ryuji you can rake in even more money with little effort
I feel attacked with that making Ann your girlfriend comment.
😂
Just started playing a couple days ago, and was hoping that was a choice.
Don’t worry, you can. Just make sure you give her as much of your time as you can and be supportive!
@@KDThreeSixty I'm still a bit confused on how to hang out with anyone willingly. 😒😔🤦🏻♂️
Trying to figure out all the mechanics of the game is a bit difficult for a brand new player to the entire franchise to say the least.
@@Cthulhu92 whenever your day starts in the game, press r1 to open up your rail map. You can check each area of the map to see who is available and fast travel to them. Make sure you have a persona with the matching arcana
My dumb ass over here being too lazy to manage having multiple main personas instead of just me trying to cram shit all into one
That’s most people, I even did that when I played Persona 3 for the first time.
How is getting a great game on gamepass unfortunate ?
I can’t play it because it’s broken rn
@@KDThreeSixty yeah saw it again, noticed you playing on pc makes sense…great video btw
Here I was thinking this game was easy, then your SP recovery item tip tells me recovering sp is hard. Ahh the camera strap that one of the packaged in dlc's gave me must be completely OP. Maybe for my second playthrough I'll get rid of all those accessories and see how hard it is then.
There's so many busted accessories that I forgot about this one💀
The only really important tip is to not screw you out of the third semester. The rest is easy enough.
If only people didn’t neglect this advice and try to rush through the game :(
People really be out here ignoring Mementos 😳
The game tells them to explore as much as they can and they don’t listen
I liked the game in the beginning but I started getting annoyed with how many different mechanics they were adding as I went along and I am extremely resistant to the grindy leveling up of the social skills. So I played up until I took down Kamoshida and uninstalled the game lol. I really do not need to go back to the game and this video gives me the reassurance that I made the right call.
Have you tried Persona 5 Strikers
that’s tough because the game is super good , if you just take your time & go back to the tutorials if you think you missed something then your good . i didn’t think it had too many mechanics but aye it’s not for everyone .
“for new persona players”
repeatedly shows later game content
Oh no I ruined someone’s playthrough by talking about mechanics and showing random parts of the game with no context at all!
@@KDThreeSixty oh ur one of those
@@HypnoStellar If the game didn’t come out in 2016 I would see your point.
@@KDThreeSixty I don't undestand this logic, do you not want people to experience it fresh for the first time just because it's old or what?
@@HypnoStellar For this game? It’s a case by case basis. A lot of new players try to rush through this game, get bodied by an easy skill check, then go and whine about a difficulty spike that isn’t there and quit the game. I wanted to hammer home why certain mechanics are useful so that people won’t hit roadblocks while experiencing the story. If learning about a mechanic or seeing random clips with no context ruins the game for you, I can’t really do anything for you.
Nooo where's my izanagi
Don’t worry he’s there
The best way to farm money is actually the same as it is in real life. You simply hold a gun to someone's head, and you demand payment. Surprisingly effective!
That’s what I did in vanilla until I realized that you get money and exp from ryuji’s instant kill now
Seriously disliked this game for the first 4 hours. Just finished the first palace and I’m obsessed. Still don’t understand much lol but I’m playing on easy till I get the hang of things.
@@jaymartheone9483 Glad you stuck through it! It only gets better from here
One thing I discovered in P5R and have not seen covered was re recruitment of existing Persona.
Basically say you have Arsene, Pixie and Kelpie in your roster and encounter Pixie again if you initiate hold up and ask pixie: "Lend me your power." She will join and merge with Pixie which already is in your roster meaning pixie will gain EXP I leveled up many "backburner" personas that way.
I completely forgot about that ☠️
Bro, upgrade your rig. Screen stuttering abound. What is this running at, 23fps?
Thanks for pointing that out, I didn’t notice before. My rig does need to be upgraded, but the stuttering was cause by some error I made while I was editing/rendering. It wasn’t my rig
why with the spoilers, tho?
You mean the Okumera thing ?
I feel like this game is just too much. And on top of all that they put time restrictions on everything. I'm about 10 hours in and I feel it's almost not worth it. Does it get better?
You’ve already put in a lot of time. I wouldn’t want to tell you to keep going only for you to still feel this way later. It does become easier to manage as you go though, you just gotta build yourself up. If you find yourself not enjoying it i’d recommend strikers instead
this… OR buy izanagi no okami picaro
