There are hundreds of hours of content in Persona 5: Royal. This guide will help players with a guide on the best things to do after beating the game. Persona 5: Royal takes everything from base Persona 5 and builds on it substantially. With extra content, new characters, and an entirely new semester for players to unlock, the game builds on the existing story left behind from the original. To beat it alone may take over 90 hours depending on the player's pace. Regardless, there's still so much to do once the player beats the main story. Here's what players can do to extended their time in Persona 5: Royal.
Persona 5: Royal brings players into the shoes of Joker, a silent protagonist that acts as the lead of the Phantom Thieves. After an incident where he protects an innocent woman from being sexually assaulted, he is sent away to live with his new legal guardian. Once here, he enrolls in Shujin Academy and makes friends with Ryuji, a loudmouth student at Shujin. Although, things take a turn for the worst as they are soon thrown into the Metaverse, a location where people's cognition turns into reality. From this moment on, Joker, Ryuji, and the rest of the Phantom Thieves pledge to change the hearts of corrupt adults by using their powers in the Metaverse. It's an incredibly engaging story with several plot twists around almost every corner. Here's what players can do after beating the game.
The Thieves Den is a location that acts as a gallery for the Phantom Thieves. Here, players can bask at everything they have accomplished during their time in the game. From completing specific challenges to unlocking every Persona, the Thieves Den will provide a firm list of tasks that the player can complete. Not only that, but players can play the Tycoon card game with other members of the Phantom Thieves. It can be accessed directly from the main menu.
Unless the player has their first playthrough completed with a guide, it is very unlikely that have experienced everything the game has to offer. Not only that, but it's also very unlikely that players have built and completed confidant relationships with every character. Jumping back in the game with New Game + allows players to complete these optional questlines. They give so much more insight into the history of the characters and give a better understanding of why they are the way they are. It's very possible to have multiple playthroughs of this game and miss something.
Persona 4 Golden is the last mainline title before Persona 5: Royal. As players would expect, it shares a lot of similarities. Players will take control of a high school student who discovers a strange and unique power that wishes to use this power for good. Along the way, players will build relationships with other characters while building up their social stats. The game recently released on PC, making it more accessible than ever. If players loved Persona 5: Royal, they will fully enjoy Persona 4 Golden.
Persona 5: Royal is one of the greatest RPGs to ever exist. It's excellent writing tied with its fun gameplay mechanics and world-building have put the series above and beyond in the genre. Even if players aren't fans of the turn-based combat, there is a little bit of something for everything with this game. It's also unlikely we'll be seeing a Persona 6 any time soon. Persona 5: Royal is a game that gets better with each playthrough.
Persona 5: Royal is available now on PlayStation 4.
