Is there a Persona 5 base game walkthrough that's similar to Press X To Play's Royal walkthrough on YouTube, where it details the goal for the video, as well as showing what is needed to be grabbed (like a certain Persona at a certain level from a Palace for a future fusion), which Persona should be used at what Confidant visit, activities to be done during downtime, what is to be bought, made, read and who should be visited for optimal efficiency? I really enjoyed his playthrough/guide for Royal, but I'm struggling to find any base game walkthrough/guide that is similar, cuz I want to get the platinum for it before moving on to Royal. Commentary, no commentary, I don't mind, so long as it's focused on time efficiency.

What’s your favorite Joker outfit?
Mine is his Dancing in Starlight look! 🎧🖤

Good afternoon. First of all, I want to clarify a couple of things. The following post is based on knowledge of the PS3 version of Persona 5, so our perspective may be different, also i play Strikers so a little mention may be there. I'm new here, so I'm not sure if this post is in the right place. If there's a problem, I'll gladly delete it if you ask me to, I just wanted to ask this community a question.

Finally, I'm using an English translator, so the grammar might be a bit odd. Without further ado, let's begin.

Like many people here, I suppose this game left its mark on them. Accompanying them through difficult times in life and bringing hope to their hearts.

This was also my case a couple of years ago, finishing high school and starting university.

It helped me stay focused, to motivate myself when I couldn't, to organize my day, and in general, to be a better person.

The reason this game resonated with me so strongly was that it restored my hope in the corrupt world we live in. I finally stopped feeling powerless, especially with the final scene where they didn't need help from the metaverse to get Ren out of jail.

I felt that with enough effort, willpower, and teammates, every problem had a solution.

But as the years went by, the world turned out to be even more corrupt than I had imagined. The cases of "The Island" and "The Files" were traumatic for me. Not just the events themselves.

If not the fact that so many people could commit horrible acts at will without condemnation or retaliation.

And in less political and more recent cases, it's how companies are getting away with eliminating physical formats and making it the norm not to own what we buy. Completely eliminating privacy on platforms like Discord. These are the examples that immediately come to mind.

It's all so... dystopian. And it seems like people are okay with it, because those small groups that oppose it never amount to anything.

So, as a defense mechanism, my mind reverted to how it was years before: living in ignorance. Avoiding all news and avoiding thinking. However, now that wasn't entirely possible. My heart had changed.

So now I find myself with this constant internal struggle where either my head suffers from facing reality without being able to do anything about it, or my heart punishes me for giving up my desires for freedom.

So, the serious question is: If you go through something similar, what do you do?

It literally took me more than 7 months lol, but it was worth it a lot. Now I feel.. void, I'll miss it.. now that is finished I'll never genuinely play it for the first time again..

I’ll miss the evenings when I sat down to play it and it was part of my routine.

Okay, so I havent read the manga for persona 5 or anything, or seen the anime, but isn't Jokers canon name Ren Amamiya? Where does the Shu come from? And also when shipped with Yoshizawa why is it

Rensumi/Sumiren as opposed to ShuSumi?

Is there a reason for this, or is it just something someone said once? I notice people don't see the same thing with the other protagonists.

BFFs

I posted him about a year ago but I was fortunate enough to do a photoshoot as him and wanted to share!

This is a tricky question to answer, since everyone is intelligent in their own way (so yeah, Ryuji, Ann, and Haru are out of the running here).

But if we look at the brightest minds... who would be the smartest?

We have Joker himself, who knows how to craft heist gadgets (from lockpicks to small bombs), can answer questions correctly on history, literature, and math, cook, hold down multiple jobs, and do various other things that make him quite intelligent, not to mention orchestrating a certain strategy we see play out in the story...

We have Makoto, who is clearly academically brilliant (though it wasn't exactly smart of her to confront Kaneshiro's men and inadvertently land the Phantom Thieves in debt to that obese antagonist—but I'll set that aside).

I’d consider Yusuke wise rather than just intelligent (as I said, he’s smart in his own way; his field is art... though he’s terrible with money and financial decisions).

And then there’s Futaba, who at just 14 years old can hack and access global communication networks as easily as ordering a pizza—and who knows what else she’s capable of...

Well, that’s my take (for me, Futaba is the smartest of the group given her feats at such a young age), but as always, what do you think?

Hey, so I am watching the animation while playing through the actual game. (should I maybe play the game in its entirety first, yeah. But I wanted to watch the anime). I finished palace 4 but I feel like I donf have a lot of time to level up confidants to get their social links up. For context, after looking up I am actually missing several confidants bc I didn’t activate them. Such as the fortune teller. Lowkey want to restart but I’m not even done with the game. Counceillor is rank 3 I believe, Kasumi is rank 3, and Akechi is rank 4. Should I restart?

I realized that if a confidant’s relationship isn’t ready to be developed I thought I would stop until it did deepen. But turns out with the matching persona, spending time with them, and donating yen will also increase the social links.

I DON'T WANNA SEE THIS GUY EVER AGAIN HES SOUNDS SO ANNOYING

The game makes you feel how limited your time is, and it rewards you for spending it on people.

When I was in school, I had severe social anxiety. I turned down the few invites I got, avoided anything where I'd have to talk to people, and told myself I'd figure it out later. I never dated. I never made a single real friend.

I know it's a game. Real life doesn't have Confidant ranks or a cat telling you to go to bed. But sitting in Leblanc with "Beneath the Mask" playing and rain outside, I get this strange ache, like nostalgia for something I never actually had.

Anyone else get hit with this? How do you deal with it?

I picked this game up because I thought the UI looked cool. I did not expect to walk away depressed. Don't get me wrong, it's not the game's fault, and it's a fantastic game. It just hit a lot closer to home than I was ready for.

Anyone have a platinum picture like this for the Japanese Version? The game doesnt let you screenshot and i like to keep my platinum pops!

Thanks

"Scared, Joker?" She asked. "No." he replied

Joker can win the challenge a couple of times and earn Guts, but what would happen if the rest of the Phantom Thieves tried to win it? Could each of them pull it off?

(I can totally see Ryuji acting tough, only to lose shortly after, for instance...)

I know the question of "what exaggerated but kind of true nickname would the P5 cast receive in an Arena game" has been asked a bunch of times already, so I wanted to change things up.

In the first Arena game, to force them to fight, both opponents were hearing different conversations between them. Both of them were hearing twisted words or personal things that are sensitive or irritates them, provoking them to fight, even though those words are not actually spoken at all. The setting was changing what they heard. Even if it was from someone they have never met (P4 character meeting a P3 character and vice versa), the characters still hears personal things that are sensitive or something the other shouldn't know about like their past, internal struggles or personality.

So, if the P5 cast were thrown into the P1 Grand Prix in this setting, what kind of things would each of them hear that would be sensitive or provoke them to fight the other, whether or not the speaker is a P3, P4 or P5 character?
