Persona 5 The Royal - PV #1 (Third Semester, New Characters & Areas, Pro Support); Oct 31, 2019(JP) and 2020 in the West [PS4 Only] - See Staff Post

Going off her being involved with Akechi in at least the one screen shot, she could (possibly) be an off-screen awakening?
Alternatively, she could be someone who 'opposes' what the thieves are doing for quite some time, until event XYZ happens and she joins up?
Also on the Haru/Morgana all out attack....does anyone else think that's possibly indicating we get to 'play' as the two of them running around in the dungeon at the same time as the main party?
That's my main question. I was planning on a second run soon to mop up trophies, trying to decide if I should bother and wait and see with the Royal edd but if it is two lists it would be better to have finished the vanilla game completely first no? XD
Gotcha, thanks!
Curious to see how much new stuff this package will have.

I honestly thought Morgana would turn human at some point in the vanilla version. I'm down for human Morgs.
Not sure how I feel about.
I guess it could be the equivalent of.
Wakaba potentially being alive. I feel that really would take away from Futaba and Sojiro's arcs. But at the same time I'm a sucker for happy endings.

FES and Portable letting you save Chidori and Shinjiro.
Happy for those that wanted this. Won't be getting this myself as I wasn't a fan of the base game.
Hmm I wonder if the extra 'semester' is going to be some kinda timeline/palace/mementos fuckery.
Something to do with granting everyone's dreams
The first thing Kasumi (I think?) says in the opening stopped time animated scene is that she "stole (your/a) dream(s)".

Wakaba alive, Morgana a human, Akechi a good guy maybe?

I don't mean to port beg (I own all three consoles), but I'm curious - are these games PS exclusive because Sony helps with the funding? Or does the publisher just feel the cost/benefit for a Switch or Xbox port isn't worth it?
Edit: just saw staff post, hope I didn't run foul accidentally here.

Did they ever confirm that it was Akechi that killed her? Timeline-wise that'd be a little...weird, considering she had a mental shutdown at a point where Futaba was still a child and Akechi's like 2-3 years older than her, tops.
EDIT: NVM re-read a wiki page.

Really curious to see what Royal's solution to that entire situation is. Like I feel they're going for the
Akechi Redemption Arc
Which has me a bit miffed, but was always expected
Human Morgana is legitimately distressing. Half the fun of his interactions were because he looked like a regular ass cat.
But my main question: Who was asking for this?

Wow, didn't think of this actually
It wouldn't even be out of place, I could imagine this hapening
Top tier, 10/10. But I also LOVE Joker's design and Kasumi invokes it down to the gloves and mirror colored mask.Can you guys stop shitting the thread off with this off-site stuff?
Discuss the game!
What are your thoughts on Kasumi's design? Personally I think it's a bit too much but the mask is dope
The new girl reminds me of Joker so much. Her outfit is similar and her critical attack animation looks like Joker's too.... I wonder.
Not DLC is lame. Not gonna go through another 100 hr playthrough just to see the new stuff... Oh well. New character looks cool I guess
Hmm, maybe I'll just sell my OG Steelbook version and wait to play it once this one launches next year. If it beats the Destiny 3 release, I should finish it...
Oh, that's a good theory. Would explain all the weird happy endings going against all of the character arcs in the trailer. Maybe Kasumi is gonna turn on the team eventually?
But how? How can they possibly improve upon perfection?
I'll be there day one to find out ;)
Was already a thing in P4G so it'd make sense
we'll have to wait and see if they all inexplicably get scooters though
I bet my money Wakaba is working with Akechi and Kasumi is in on it
I'm really glad I only sunk around 30ish hours into the OG version, and never finished it. The additions plus 3rd act will be so good going in with no fatigue.
Loved P5 but it's definitely long in the tooth. All these upgrades look great but sitting through the repetitive elements of the main story again feels extremely daunting (i.e. recycled dialog, Mementos, some of the lengthier dungeons, etc.). All I see here is that a game that was too long before is about to get even longer. A whole third semester???
Hopefully they add some QOL stuff or streamline some of the bullshit. Some of it seems doable - cut down on repeated dialog and Morgana's rules, make it so Mementos progresses as the story progresses even if you aren't grinding through it, maybe streamline the 5th and 7th Palaces - I honestly forget if the 6th was too long or what, I don't remember. The 5th is extremely long and feels almost entirely unnecessary.

i doubt it, there's a brief anime scene of her exploding into persona flames in the trailer. the latter is possible though
The Witcher 3 doesn't come close to Persona's length? Get the fuck outta here.
Monster Hunter World isn't about "main story," it's an endless game with an endless loop that I've put 400-plus hours into. AND IT'S NOT PORTABLE. So know, I don't know what the fuck you mean about "length issues" with 150 hour, not portable games being "unplayable."
I'm sure lots of people will enjoy this, but I'm out. Playing through this massive game again in its even more massive form... I can't.
I would love more Persona 5, but I am not spending 100+ hours on content I have already seen just to get 10 (and I am probably being generous) of new stuff...
I really hope they make the romances mean something. The dialogue should change, the decision should matter.
people keep saying "ugh I have to go through 100 hours again".
1. I am pretty sure that they will sprinkle the new shit throughout the game rather than end load it.
2. If it was that much of a slog then why are you even here?
Its like people are shocked that this turned out to be the Expansion of P5...yknow like the last two games also got.

oooooh... intriguing possibility
her intro was her saying she hated the phantom thieves after all...
I'm starting to think that new girl might actually be feMc and joker might be his own character if you choose her hmmm. Guess we'll find out in 2 weeks. I know people are pissed that the game is getting longer understandably, but persona is the one series I'm cool with playing for 100+ hours so I'm excited. Hopefully the royal is available as dlc for the west next year.
Not going to play though the whole game for the extra content. Only did so for P4G and P3P since they are portable and i can easily play those games any where.
Still hoping they will add a mode to skip to the 3rd sem or something , i will consider buying this then haha.
