PS4 / PS5
Royal has a different list from original Persona 5 and a crucial deadline for accessing its additional story. Before optimising money or fusions, protect Maruki’s relationship and the days needed for Palaces. The remaining route rewards using Tokyo’s different systems: social stats, evening activities, Mementos and the Velvet Room. Do not turn every collection into an obligation; the platinum has precise conditions, and maximising one relationship is not the same as requiring every Confidant.
Persona 5 Royal on PS4 and PS5, not original Persona 5 or Persona 5 Strikers.
- Required difficulty: High difficulty is not mandatory.
- Missable trophies: Reach Maruki rank 9 by November 17 and protect story deadlines.
- Online: Network features are unnecessary for the platinum.
Prioritise Maruki over repeatable activities
Record Councillor rank 9 by November 17 in the calendar. Do not wait until every other relationship is finished; this progression opens the third semester and its Palace. Verify the rank before the deadline, preserving an earlier save if calendar correction is needed.
- Confirm Maruki rank 9 before the Councillor leaves.
Separate Palace days from social growth
Finish infiltrations with time before deadlines and use remaining slots on low social stats. A busy calendar does not guarantee useful distribution; identify which stat opens the desired option. Exams also require correct answers, so Knowledge growth alone does not replace that check.
- Check Palace deadlines and the target stat before spending a day.
Group Mementos requests
Before visiting, inspect open requests, accessible areas and Jose’s exchanges. Grouping objectives reduces trips for single targets. Track flowers, stamps and cognition changes separately; exchanging one currency does not automatically complete every Mementos condition.
- Prepare requests and exchanges before entering Mementos.
Try Velvet Room functions
The list asks for different actions involving fusions, alarms and other available functions. Do not postpone all of them until the team is already perfected; try each system when accessible, preserving a save for experimentation. Owning many Personas does not prove every function has been used.
- Record each function actually used, not merely unlocked.
Finish Tokyo activities without demanding absolute completion
Check trophies for venues, minigames and services still untried. Plan varied activities on free evenings rather than repeat completed objectives. Prepare the Reaper fight for Royal specifically instead of automatically relying on original-game methods based on different mechanics.
- Compare the Royal list with outstanding activities before the ending.

Frequently asked questions
Must I maximise every Confidant?
The list has specific conditions, including one maximised Confidant. It does not generally require maximising every relationship; Maruki remains essential for additional-story access.
What is the most important deadline?
Maruki must reach rank 9 by November 17 to open the third semester. Check the calendar in advance.
Is original Persona 5 guidance identical?
No. The list, Royal content and some mechanics differ; use the correct version’s requirements.
