We have some Persona 5 Royal news. This time we are looking at Akechi the crow. This time though he isn’t just another member of your party. He can become your Confidant and help you. This is to help you get to know him more expanding on his character. Something the developers want as not everyone became found of the p5 detective as they did with Naoto from P4.
We also have an average playing time for the game. The time should be basically the same. Something that may sound odd considering P5R has more content. This is due to the fact that battle and mini games will be shorter as well as load times. Taking that into account the game might be the same. We will have to wait and see how that holds up when we get the game into our hands.
- “The reason why the Ranking Up of Akechi’s Confidant relationship has been left up to the player this time is that you can’t really explore his character deeper if it Ranks Up automatically during story events. We want players to know about his various sides.”
- The developers acknowledge that Akechi is popular, but not everyone has a good impression of him. Your impression of Goro Akechi might change a bit in Persona 5 Royal.
- The devs estimate that Persona 5 Royal, while taking longer than Persona 5 due to the extra content, will still only have total playtime in the same ballpark as the original game, or maybe slightly higher. This is because things like load times and the amount of time each battle takes have been shortened, and the amount of time taken to beat existing Palaces have been optimized, so the extra features basically make up for that time.
- How Ryuji’s Instant Kill ability works has been changed in Persona 5 Royal, and the developers point to this as one of the examples of where staff have exchanged opinions and discussed the game with players.
