7The Moment Akechi Revealed Himself
Goro Akechi isone of the more interesting characters in the game. This detective develops a fascination with Joker and the Phantom Thieves; with this obsession rearing a pretty ugly head the further players get into the story.
The moment when Akechi hears Morgana speak is something that most players won’t even notice the first time around. However, this plot twist is hinted at quite evidently the second time players get into this title and notice this exchange happen for themselves.
6How Easy It Really Is To Level Up The Strength Confidant
The Strength Confidant is one of the most annoying ones to develop in the series. Players will need to capture specific Persona with certain skills to steadily progress this Confidant, which is easier said than done early on when players reach such a high level that every single weak Persona becomes even harder to control.

However, with the use of low-level items, capturing these Personas becomes easy, even if players might become overpowered. It helps that players will just be more prudent about this Confidant in a new playthrough, especially sincesome of the strongest Persona fusions require the Strength Confidantto be leveled up to a certain extent.
5Prioritizing Chihaya Makes Managing Other Confidants Pretty Easy
Chihaya is the Fortune Confidant, and most players end up delaying her Confidant until they have a decent stock of funds. After all, ¥100,000 is not a small amount by any means in the early game.
However, veterans will make it a point to pay this amount the moment they manage to accumulate it. Not only can players make up this amount easily as the game progresses, but Chihaya’s Confidant gives players the ability toprogress to other Confidants without having to waste time, which is useful for obvious reasons.
4Fights Against The Game’s Hardest Superbosses
New Game+ is a mode that most people might access while going throughPersona 5for the second time. Not only does this mode let players carry over the majority of their stats and absolutely destroy most enemies with ease, but it also unlocks two of the toughest fights in the game.

3The Ability To Fuse Satanael, The Game’s Strongest Persona
Satanael is the final evolution of Joker’s Persona that is used todeliver the final blow against Yaldabaoth. It’s a powerful Persona that is meant to be an antithesis of God itself, and most players were saddened that they never got to control this Persona in the main game for regular combat.

However, in New Game+, players actually get an opportunity to fuse Satanael! This is the strongest Persona that Joker can use in the game, turning most battles into an absolute cakewalk.
2The Fact That The Reaper Isn’t Really All That Intimidating
The Reaper is one of the most iconic superbosses inPersonahistory. Ever since the series shifted to its current format from the third entry onward, the player always had the threat of the Reaper looming around them as they went through the procedural dungeons in the game.
Hearing the chains of the Reaper can prove to be quite chilling indeed, and most players will understandably run away upon hearing this sound. However, players who have an in-depth understanding of the game mechanics and are at a decent level can definitely battle the Reaper in combat and come out virtually unscathed!
1It’s Important To Have A Persona Of The Same Arcana While Hanging Out With A Confidant
For what it’s worth, this is something that many players will be told about time and time again when they decide tospend their time with a particular Confidant. However, given how simple it is to just ignore this warning, it isn’t until much later that players will understand the importance of matching the Arcana of both the Confidant and their equipped Personas.
There are simply too many things that players can do inPersona 5 Royal, and there might not be enough time in the end to wrap up all of these Confidants, even with the additional semester in theRoyal Edition! As a result, it becomes downright necessary to gain the extra bonus players get by ensuring that both their equipped Persona and the Confidant’s Arcana match.
Persona 5 Royalis currently available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
