PS3 / PS4
Plan the year before chasing individual trophies. Days spent trying to recover a missed book or expired request do not come back, and the Compendium cannot be fully completed in the first run. Keep saves spaced a few weeks apart and prepare for New Game Plus.
Guide for the original Persona 5 with a shared PS3/PS4 list. Royal is a distinct edition with a different platinum.
- List: 49 trophies in the original edition
- Confidants: Max all in the same playthrough
- New Game Plus: Required for Satanael and the twins challenge
Use the calendar for Confidants and social stats
Clear Palaces ahead of their deadlines to free calendar days. Bring a matching-Arcana Persona to meetings where it helps, and check which responses build affinity. Raise social stats before they gate a rank. The first playthrough can prepare them to give you more flexibility in the second.
- Track rank, required social stat and next availability separately.
Check messages before entering Mementos
Check requests received by phone and those that depend on work or a Confidant relationship. Batch targets in one visit, but do not postpone ones that unlock a new rank or book. Before the final story stretch, compare the log with the full list of requests.
- Check that the target is identified, not only that the message arrived.
Use time windows for books and minigames
Borrow school library books early and visit Jinbocho for the books leading to Speed Reading. Check the Mementos book rewards too. Reserve evenings for games, infiltration tools and vending machine purchases. Each has its own counter that Confidant ranks do not replace.
- Make sure you finished reading each book rather than just owning it.
Vary fights for Futaba’s lines
Once Futaba is active, rotate the party, explore areas of different levels and vary fight conditions. Weaknesses, ailments, reinforcements or a disadvantage can produce different lines. Fighting with the same party and move every time reduces opportunities to hear new ones.
- Start varying fights as soon as Futaba’s navigation unlocks.
Open New Game Plus and finish the Compendium
Register your useful Personas before the ending. Start from clear data and prepare Satanael’s ingredients; its trophy requires performing the fusion. Look for Caroline in Mementos for the twins challenge. Manage their health together because one can revive the other if you defeat them separately.
- Check the Compendium after fusion and keep a save before the challenge.

Frequently asked questions
Can I follow a Royal guide?
No. Royal changes the calendar, options and trophy list. Use the deadlines and requests from the original PS3 or PS4 edition.
Is New Game Plus required?
Yes. Satanael and the twins challenge require restarting from clear data. Prepare money and registered Personas before the ending.
Where can I find missing books?
Check bookshops, the school library and request rewards. Before searching further afield, check whether the book has not appeared yet or its window has passed.
