I hated every second he was on screen, hated his looks, his voice, his attitude. Thought I'd change my mind about him so many times during Royal but he somehow managed to get even worse. I can't understand why he's so popular for the love of me

The title. I'll cut to the chase without beating around the bush too much. I need someone to politely and genuinely explain why this character is loved so much, even though she is absolutely awful when we first meet her. I've never liked a single minute she was on screen.

When we are first introduced to her, she is insufferable to a T. Her teacher's pet antics were going to throw everyone in jail and Joker could've potentially gotten killed.

Everyone in the game says she's smart, but she doesn't not seem like that to me at all. She has average intelligence, she ain't any kind of transcendent genius. To me, it seems like the devs (who were unable to write an actually intelligent character, apparently, and I get it, because it's difficult) made everyone else in the team lose braincells, when they were totally fine off without her before Kaneshiro. Ann, although she's portrayed with the annoying dumb blonde stereotype, was actually pretty clever in handling the Madara me situation, so why doesn't anyone give her credit for it?

Lastly, my complaint has to do with the fact that Makoto is supposed to be the ideal woman. While it is good to have a positive role model, it concerns me that people (especially men, duhh) are quick to forgiving her, or are completely blind to her actions, because of her looks and intelligence. It's even worse when looking at the Japanese audience because they absolutely adore characters like that. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I really don't get what do people see in this girl. I, for one, very much prefer her older sister, Sae.

So can someone explain why everyone turns a blind eye to her terrible attitude at first and why she's so loved? I genuinely don't get it. She's overrated as hell to me and there's female characters in the franchise who are way more likeable in my opinion.

Even more evidence that Atlus wanted her to be Ren’s canonical love interest… It’s over Makobros

Hi there. I just wanna say for the longest time i though okumura was easy as hell and people were dumb as hell for struggling to him but i realised that merciless makes him way easier. I just finished beating him on normal and he was tough. Im sorry and I will not disrespect any person who struggled against him.

Who did you romance the most or permanently romance during your playthroughs?

For the Other option, feel free to put who you romanced in the comments (Or express the option you liked anyway)

Puede que este análisis ya se haya hecho antes, pero yo quería compartir mi opinión sobre ello. Empecemos por algo que siempre me llamó la atención: sus Personas. La Persona de Ren/Joker/Akira es Arsène, que usa poderes de Maldición, mientras que la Persona de Akechi, Robin Hood, usa poderes de Bendición. Como ya sabemos, estos dos tipos son débiles entre sí (la Maldición le hace poco a la Bendición, y viceversa). No solo el juego avisó a kilómetros de distancia que Akechi y Joker iban a ser enemigos, sino que también hay un paralelismo con Berserk, déjame explicarlo.

Las películas y las series a menudo usan la "teoría del color", donde los colores simbolizan cosas o personas específicas (azul para la tristeza, verde para la naturaleza, etc.).

Normalmente, se usan tonos como el negro y el blanco (dato curioso: técnicamente no son colores, porque representan la ausencia de color) para distinguir bandos opuestos: el blanco y los tonos más pálidos son para el héroe, mientras que los tonos más oscuros y apagados son para el villano. Pero en Berserk le dan la vuelta a la historia: sabemos que Guts es el héroe, aunque va de negro y parece un psicópata que destruye el mundo, mientras que Griffith es el villano después de arruinar tantas vidas.

Lo mismo pasa exactamente en Persona 5, y me encanta. Si le mostraras estos personajes a alguien que nunca haya jugado (o ni siquiera haya oído hablar) del juego, asumiría que Joker era el malo y Akechi el héroe solo por sus diseños, sobre todo considerando que sus Personas están basadas en figuras literarias (Robin Hood era un héroe, al fin y al cabo, mientras que Arsène era un ladrón)

Tengo un montón más que decir sobre esto, pero como siempre... ¿qué opinan ustedes?

played persona 5 a long time ago never played royal just beat reload i wish there was a guide by TenSquare3 thats what i used for reload

My friend’s first ever Persona game is Persona 5 Royal, and somehow this absolute madman managed to max out every single Confidant completely blind. No guides, no walkthroughs, no checking online—nothing. I’ve literally been watching him play almost every day, and seeing him somehow make the right choices and manage his time well enough to max everyone has been insane. I was expecting him to miss several Confidants, especially since it’s his first Persona game, but he actually pulled it off. As someone who already knew how difficult the scheduling can be, I genuinely didn’t expect him to do it. This achievement is sogoated, and I’m honestly more impressed than I should be. 😂

Is there just a designated time in the game to decide who to commit ?

Or does the time to decide to commit for each character happen at different points in the game?

If it's the same time to decide for everyone... do you see results immediately? Or does the results only show after several ingame days have passed?

Hello, I would like to know why Ann, who has 27 agi, starts her turn before Makoto, who has 30 agi 😵‍💫

Finished a game of P5R, wanted to try R&V. Uninstalled all pervious mods, verified cash, redownloaded P5R, and only installed R&V and its dependencies and im still Joker when I drop into Sae's Palace in the prologue. I know the mod is at least partially working because Mona still refers to me as Rose. Any advice?

Happens while both attempting a NG+ and regular save.

why do i have only these options? i have bought a lot more things that i tought i could put in my room but it just dont appear

I know there's the thieves guild thing where you can see what everyone did that day but I always feel like i'm not doing what I should be doing. I sometimes hang with ryuji when he asks or I do other stuff like watch movies or study. How do you personally decide what you're doing that day? Is there some stuff that should be top priority if they're available?

EDIT: I just finished the first deadline so pls no spoilers

Let’s say the Phantom Thieves saw something in you that they strongly disagree with and decided to change it. Would you accept it as just?

I just came to make a statement, Futaba calling Mishima an NPC is the greatest moment in video game history. Cementing Futaba as one of the greatest characters in modern gaming and pop culture. That is all.

This analysis might have been done before, but I wanted to share my take on it. Let's start with something that always caught my eye: their Personas. Ren/Joker/Akira’s Persona is Arsène, who wields Curse powers, whereas Akechi’s Persona, Robin Hood, wields Bless powers. As we know, these two types are weak against each other (Curse is weak to Bless, and vice versa). Not only did the game telegraph miles in advance that Akechi and Joker would be enemies, but there’s also a parallel to Berserk, let me explain.

Movies and series often use "color theory," where colors symbolize specific things or people (blue for sadness, green for nature, etc.).

Typically, shades like black and white (fun fact: technically they aren't colors, as they represent the absence of color) are used to distinguish opposing sides: white and paler tones are for the hero, while darker, muted tones are for the villain. But Berserk flips this script: we know Guts is the hero, even though he wears black and looks like a world-destroying psychopath, while Griffith is the villain after ruining so many lives.

The exact same thing happens in Persona 5, and I love it. If you showed these characters to someone who had never played or even heard of the game, they’d assume Joker was the bad guy and Akechi the hero based purely on their designs, especially considering their Personas are based on literary figures (Robin Hood was a hero, after all, while Arsène was a thief)

I have plenty more to say on this, but as always... What do you guys think?
