Profile [ ]

The students of Shujin visit Hawaii from September 7th to 11th. Students from Kosei High School also spend their school trip in Hawaii, as their plane was re-routed from Los Angeles due to inclement weather.

Here, the Phantom Thieves find out that their popularity has traveled outside of Japan into the United States, and most of the beach-goers know of their exploits. The students also discover with dismay that most things are not that different from home; for example, they eat at a Big Bang Burger , just like they already do in Japan.

The protagonist may spend time with one Confidant at Waikiki Beach on September 10th, either by way of a date with one of the girls, or by hanging out with the guys. The only exception is Haru Okumura , as Hawaii's events happen prior to Okumura's Palace , where she makes a proper appearance.

In Royal , the protagonist can interact with Haru, before she interrupts Sadayo Kawakami posing in a bathing suit in her hotel room. A surprise encounter with Kasumi Yoshizawa also happens in the souvenir shop and is the first time the other Phantom Thieves meet her.

Confidants [ ]

All dates with the female cast involve tasting a local delicacy: Garlic Shrimp. Each date will make a comment on the delicacy and find out from the stall owner about the popularity of the Phantom Thieves. They will gift the protagonist an exclusive accessory that only he can equip:

• Makoto Niijima : At Rank 5 or above, but a relationship is needed for the date after Rank 9. The protagonist may receive a Tiki Keychain . In Persona 5 , it gives a +5 boost to Magic and Luck. In Royal , it enables the use of Divine Grace .
• Hifumi Togo : At Rank 5 or above, the protagonist may receive a Honu Charm which grants evasion to (non-instant kill) Curse skills. In Royal , it is specifically Evade Curse .
• Ann Takamaki : At Rank 9 or above, in a relationship, the protagonist may receive a pair of Menehune Dolls . In Persona 5 , they give a +5 boost to Strength and Endurance. In Royal, they give a +20 boost to max SP.
• Sadayo Kawakami : At Max Rank, in a relationship, the protagonist may receive a Hawaiian Ring . In Persona 5 , it grants evasion to (non-instant kill) Bless skills. In Royal , it is specifically Evade Bless .
• The hotel the group stay at is based off the Hilton Hawaiian Village , prior to the current "rejuvenated" lobby .
• Unused voice dialogue also indicated that the Phantom Thieves were to visit the Honolulu Kamehameha statue during the Hawaii trip, but was cut from the final game. [1]

Persona 5 Royal: 25 Ways To Make The Most Of Your Time

Persona 5: 10 things you didn't know about the romanceable characters, 10 things fans didn't know behind the development of the persona series.

Dating characters has been a key component in the Persona series ever since Persona 3. Whether they're in the player's party or are one of the social links, there's a lot to love. The romances in Persona 5 , in particular, are incredibly beloved thanks to the assortment of colorful personalities . These romances get further expanded during the Hawaii trip.

However, only certain Persona 5 characters are available to date. As such, the fandom is bound to debate which date is the best. Taking into account a variety of factors, from the items gained to the character dynamics at play, this is a ranking of every possible Persona 5 Hawaii date that players can enjoy. Everyone may have their personal favorites, but players who care about both writing and gameplay benefits should go for the best reward they can enjoy during this vacation.

It's important to manage one's time in Persona 5 Royal accordingly. Here are some ways players can maximize the time they spend in the game.

Updated July 13, 2024, by Ritwik Mitra: Persona 5 Royal i s one of the best JRPGs of all time. Players live out the life of a high school student in Japan who attains mysterious powers that let him and his friends break into the minds of people and force them to undergo a change of heart. The most heinous adults around are humbled by the Phantom Thieves as they enjoy their lives as high school students. One highlight in the game comes in the form of the characters going to Hawaii to enjoy a vacation. While enjoying their time here, players have the option to hang out with four potential Confidants. This can make for a great time as they further their relationships with these characters on a Hawaii date in Persona 5 Hawaii and obtain some valuable rewards for their efforts.

5 Ryuji, Yusuke, & Mishima

The comedic option.

• No item received

Admittedly, this can arguably be the best choice depending on the player. Instead of going on a proper date, Joker decides to hang out with Ryuji , Yusuke, and Mishima. During this time, they will flirt with some girls on the beach with little success. However, the end result is an incredibly hilarious and fun time with the boys in Hawaii. This is especially nice considering what these characters have gone through.

Yusuke, in particular, had issues with his father figure and Joker has been accused of hurting a high-ranking political candidate. So seeing these characters hang out and have a fun time is very pleasant. That being said, the player doesn't receive any items from this hangout, in sharp contrast to what the other characters can give to Joker.

4 Ann Takamaki

Gift received: menehune dolls.

• Persona 5 Gift Bonus: +5 Strength & Endurance
• Persona 5 Royal Gift Bonus: +20 SP

Ann Takamaki is the third confidant the player gets in Persona 5 . She can get along with virtually anyone thanks to her personality, and she has an incredibly strong sense of justice. However, her beautiful looks often got her into trouble, whether through Kamoshida or people assuming her to be something that she wasn't.

Building social links is key to success in the Persona series, and here are 10 things you didn't know about the fifth game's romanceable characters.

As such, her social links often deal with her modeling gig as well as what it means to have a strong heart. If the player dates her or is at least able to get her to level 9, players will be offered a pair of Menehune dolls. This will grant the players +20 SP. Although it looks promising, the fact that the player ends up getting better items that offer similar bonuses makes the date less than ideal.

3 Sadayo Kawakami

Gift received: hawaiian ring.

• Persona 5 Gift Bonus: +5 Magic & Luck
• Persona 5 Royal Gift Bonus: Evade Bless

Sadayo Kawakami is Joker's homeroom teacher in Persona 5 . She's always exhausted from her jobs, although she is a genuine person who loves to teach others. Outside of being a teacher, she also acts as a maid who helps ease Joker's worries, whether it is by making coffee for him, making curry, or giving him a massage after maxing out the confidant.

However, she deals with a lot of guilt due to her previous student dying in a car crash, and is working hard to give the student's family money. Once the player goes on a date with her in Hawaii, they are offered a Hawaiian ring that has the initials of Kawakami and Joker. The ring allows the player evasion on all bless skills so long as they are non-instakills. However, in order to get this, the player must be at max rank.

2 Hifumi Togo

Gift received: honu charm.

• Persona 5 Gift Bonus: +5 Endurance & Luck
• Persona 5 Royal Gift Bonus: Evade Curse

Hifumi Togo, also known as the shogi queen, is a Persona 5 confidant whose story focuses on her confidence as a player. As she's trying to become a professional like her father, it becomes a problem when she learns that her mother is fixing matches for her. As a result, the player has to effect a change of heart in her mother in order to finish up the confidant. During the Hawaii trip, she is the only female character that isn't from Shujin Academy and also isn't a teacher.

Let's check out details many fans don't know about the development of the Persona series! Find out 10 things about this franchise you may have missed!

As a result, the player is able to hang out with her during the Hawaii trip from at least level 5, which makes receiving her gift a bit easier when compared to Kawakami. The item gained is a Honu charm, which offers the player a dodge curse ability that is incredibly strong.

1 Makoto Niijima

Gift received: tiki keychain.

• Persona 5 Royal Gift Bonus: Divine Grace

Makoto Niijima is a Persona 5 party member that the player recruits during the Kaneshiro Palace arc. She's an incredibly serious person, and she is dedicated to taking care of her fellow colleagues, driven by a desire to be as good as her older sister. Once she is recruited, she acts almost like the second-in-command of the Phantom Thieves. This shows in her presence, fighting style, and personality. But aside from her stoicism, she can have her funny moments.

When it comes to her social link, it's all about her standing up for her ideals and dispensing justice wherever the opportunity arises. This is prevalent when she's helping a classmate deal with the problems that they are facing. Helping gives Joker the chance to date her. One of the best things about Makoto Niijima is that players can just hang out with her at around rank 5. However, the player must get the relationship to rank 9 in order to get the item: a tiki keychain that has Divine Grace, which increases healing by 50%.

Persona 5 Royal: Everything You Need to Know

A gaming experience that's sure to steal your heart!

Welcome to Tokyo!

Persona 5 , developed by Atlus and released in 2016, was updated with additional content, earning its name as ‘Persona 5 Royal’ upon re-releasing in 2020.

The game begins with Joker being forcibly relocated to Shujin Academy after being wrongfully accused of a crime, leaving him to adapt to city life alone.

However, after having a strange dream declaring him a prisoner of fate and ruin soon awaits him, the goal of ‘rehabilitation’ is set, revealing an unknown life purpose.

By becoming a Phantom Thief, you must save others from the distorted desires of corrupt and dangerous individuals. But you cannot do it single-handedly, for it takes a team to banish the world from evil.

Unleashing the Rebel Within

Upon Joker’s usual commute to school, he notices an unfamiliar app suddenly appear on his phone.

It has a striking black and red colour scheme featuring a large eye in the middle. He decides to shrug it off as he approaches Shujin Academy.

But little does he know, that app, known as the Metaverse Navigator, will later become an essential part of his lifestyle, becoming a portal into the twisted worlds of human desire.

Amongst a surge in gossip surrounding an insidious volleyball coach, Joker and his new hot-headed associate Ryuji Sakamoto, find themselves outside the gates of his castle.

By mere chance, the Navigator sends them into the Metaverse, also known as ‘the realm of cognition.’ Once inside, they are swiftly imprisoned and tortured by the king himself.

Upon Ryuji's impending execution, Joker is caught in a world of injustice, forced to witness his friend’s death. Faced with a point of no return, Joker unleashes his persona for the first time, causing a massive explosion of suppressed anger and resentment, defying the enemy’s actions.

This newfound power, the manifestation of one’s inner rebel, ultimately redefines his and Ryuji’s purpose forever, setting the course for a passionate yet dark narrative-based journey that permeates across all of Tokyo.

Game Mechanics

Persona 5 Royal is a perfect blend of RPG, dungeon crawling, and life simulation, all whilst incorporating mythological and psychological influences.

The game is considered a masterpiece due to its unique gameplay, and these five vital aspects are absolutely no exception.

Turn-Based Combat

The combat is strategic, requiring players to exploit enemy weaknesses using a variety of abilities and personas, encouraging you to think tactfully when using elemental affinities and status effects against monsters.

By combining traditional turn-based styles with other special combat mechanics such as ‘1 More’ and ‘Baton Pass,’ you can create powerful combo attacks, maximising your damage output.

Items also play an integral part amongst combating. Gamers can utilise these to heal, increase or decrease status effects, and even harm foes, providing you aid when needed most. From burgers to Molotov cocktails, every item comes in handy sometimes!

Social Simulation

Outside of fighting, gamers must manage Joker’s daily life, simultaneously balancing major activities such as school, part-time jobs, and maintaining friendships.

Building good relationships with Confidants is crucial as you progress, for the stronger Joker’s social connections, the more formidable his team in combat.

Each day differs from the last, bringing new opportunities to get better, but how you decide to spend your free time will significantly impact your progress. Without resourcefulness and strategic thinking, your undoing is inevitable.

In a game where you play as a student, it shouldn't come as any surprise that studying is a necessity. This not only improves Joker’s academic performance, but enhances his knowledge stats too, which unlocks new dialogue options and interactions with other characters.

Studying can be done at countless locations throughout Tokyo, including Cafe Leblanc, Shujin library, and Shibuya Diner. However, timing is critical. With four major exams ahead, you must ensure you're prepared, for a night of cramming won’t save you from failing.

Palace infiltration

Found in the Metaverse, Palaces are the physical manifestations of an individual’s distorted cognition. They are uniquely themed and present enemies, loot, and traps that all equally match their own eccentric facade.

Inside lies a complex concoction of halls and rooms, waiting to unveil the secrets behind their existence, for the Phantom Thieves cannot succeed without knowledge of their target.

Through stealth, puzzle solving, and exploration, you must steal the Palace’s prized treasure and bring its ruler to their knees, delivering retribution to those immoral and unjust.

Similarly to Palaces, Mementos is a location within the Metaverse, except this world isn't just a cognitive distortion of one individual, but of Tokyo's entire populace. It is here where side quests can be pursued, which reward you greatly after completion.

Being loosely based on underground subway systems, Mementos resembles a labyrinthine web of interconnected tunnels that become more dangerous the further down you navigate.

Maps of each level are procedurally generated, providing players with a fresh layout to explore upon every returning visit. Because of this, all treasure and enemies constantly change their positions, creating an ideal environment for XP and item farming.

Aesthetics and Atmosphere

The Persona series has become an instantly recognisable franchise thanks to its iconic bold and colourful aesthetic.

Anime plays a huge role in influencing Persona 5 Royal's overall art style and experience. The characters, with their exaggerated features and tropes found within the narrative are all strong nods to its anime foundations.

Whilst the aesthetics predominantly remain Japanese in origin, there are also subtle elements from Western culture, such as Tarot cards and Personas based on the Goetia.

The Eastern and Western fusion is evident everywhere, especially in certain Palaces such as the Museum. Its exterior is directly inspired by European architecture and decorated with Art Nouveau aesthetics whilst also being a centre for traditional Japanese art and culture.

“Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There”

Persona 5 Royal is widely considered as one of the most recognisable JRPG video games to exist. Its unique blend of deep storytelling, memorable characters, and striking visuals has solidified its place within gaming history.

Amongst the bustling streets of Tokyo, there are deluded people hiding in plain sight, all willing to bring the world to its knees no matter what. But by stealing their hearts, the Phantom Thieves may have a chance at preventing mass destruction.

They can’t do it without your assistance though, for taking down those in power requires a courageous leader.
