I’ve been doing some research on Lufel.net and looking at the upcoming P3R content in P5X, and I think I may have pieced together what could be the next major Persona 3 character schedule.

Please take this as a prediction/leak discussion rather than confirmed dates. I’m curious whether people who follow the CN server more closely think this schedule looks realistic.

My current predicted schedule:
September 10: Makoto Yuki
September 17: Kotone Shiomi
September 24: Mitsuru Kirijo
October 1: Yukari Takeba
October 8: Fuuka Yamagishi + Akihiko Sanada
November 18: Junpei Iori
December 16: Koromaru
January 13: Aigis

That would be 9 P3 characters total, with Fuuka and Akihiko apparently sharing the October 8 slot.
I’m also trying to figure out whether this is remotely possible for me to pull everyone AND their 5★ weapons, so here’s what I’m working with right now:

70,515 Meta Jewels
2,435 Cognition Crystals
148 Cognigems
12 Platinum Tickets
22 Platinum Milicoins
I earn approximately 200 Meta Jewels every day

The current Targeted/Exclusive banner system appears to allow a guaranteed character at 110 pulls, while the weapon banner has a 70-pull maximum. Obviously, I’m hoping I won’t have to hit hard pity on everything, but I’m trying to plan conservatively.

So my questions are:
Does this P3R schedule look realistic based on the CN version/history?

If these dates are roughly correct, how much time/resources would I realistically have between each character?

With my current resources + ~200 Meta Jewels/day, do I have a realistic chance of getting all 9 characters?
What about all 9 characters AND their 5★ signature weapons?

How much would future events, maintenance rewards, login bonuses, Cognigems, Platinum Tickets/Milicoins, etc. potentially change the calculation?
If I can’t guarantee everything, which characters/weapons would you prioritize?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who follow the CN schedule, because I don’t want to make a huge saving plan based on dates that aren’t actually realistic.
I’m basically trying to figure out whether I’m about to be completely wiped of meta jewels by Persona 3 characters lol

I’m playing Persona 5 Royal and I’m trying to get Yusuke’s third awakening before the end of the third semester.
Yusuke is already Rank 10, so all I need is the additional hangout that triggers his third awakening.

I’m currently on January 31, and Yusuke is completely missing from his normal spot in the Shibuya Underground Walkway. I’ve checked multiple times during the day, and he’s simply not there.

A few things I’ve already confirmed:
Yusuke is Rank 10.
I’m in the third semester.
I’ve already secured the treasure route in Maruki’s Palace.
Other Phantom Thieves/confidants are available normally.
I even reloaded/restarted from an earlier save to make sure it wasn’t some weird one-time issue.
Yusuke still does not appear on January 31.
I’m specifically looking in the Underground Walkway where his Emperor Confidant normally appears.

Some guides seem to indicate that Yusuke should be available around this time, but I’m clearly missing something because he isn’t appearing at all.

Does anyone know Yusuke’s actual third-awakening availability dates in January/February? Is there a specific day when he can trigger the Rank 10 → third awakening hangout, or is there some condition I’m missing?
I’m getting really nervous because I’m trying to get as many third awakenings as possible before the deadline. 😭

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

So I’m trying to maximize my confidants before the deadline in February. However, I know that if I take too long to secure the treasure my confidants will naturally lock me out. Do you know by when I have to secure the treasure before that happens. I heard it was 1/26 but just wanted to verify. I was thinking of securing the treasure for Maruki’s Palace that day since there are no confidants I need that day. Can anyone confirm?

Hey everyone! I’m playing Persona 5 Royal for the first time and I’m trying to max every Confidant in one playthrough. I’m currently on December 9, and I have 9 days left before I need to infiltrate Shido’s Palace.

I know I probably won’t finish everyone before Shido, but I’m wondering if I’m still in a realistic position to max everyone by the end of the game, especially since I unlocked the third semester by maxing Maruki.
Here are my current Confidant ranks:

MAXED
Sojiro — MAX
Ryuji — MAX
Chihaya (Fortune Teller) — MAX
Twins — MAX
Takemi (Back Alley Doctor) — MAX
Kawakami — MAX
Mishima — MAX
Yoshida (Politician) — MAX
Hifumi — MAX
Sae — MAX
Kasumi — MAX
Maruki — MAX

CURRENT RANKS
Igor / Prison Master — 9
Morgana — 9
Makoto — 8
Haru — 6
Yusuke — 6
Ann — 8
Akechi / Crow — 8
Futaba — 7
Iwai / Airsoft Guy — 7
Ohya — 7
Shinya / Video Game Kid — 8

I’ve also already completed the Mementos requests for Iwai, Ohya, Futaba, and Shinya.

My main question is:
Am I still realistically on pace to max everyone?
I have 9 days remaining before Shido’s Palace deadline, so I’m trying to figure out how aggressively I should use those days before entering the Palace.

I’m especially wondering:
Should I prioritize getting Futaba from 7 → 10 before Shido because her abilities would help me in the Palace?

Should I enter Shido’s Palace with several days remaining rather than waiting until the deadline?

How much free time will I realistically have during the third semester to finish the remaining Confidants?

Are there any of my remaining Confidants that I should be particularly worried about missing?

I’d appreciate any advice from people who’ve done an all-Confidant run in Royal. Thanks in advance!

I personally think it’s one of my faves due to how wide the track seems and the wall riding. But curious to hear everyone else’s thoughts

So I’m nearly a month into playing this game and I’m considering just going for the Marthym Rewards Card and the Premium Pass, which would be around $15. I’m not trying to be a whale but I would like a majority of the characters.

How would this method work for me for anyone who’s had more experience with this game?

Hey everyone, I’m a little confused about one of the weekly goals in Persona 5: The Phantom X.

The mission says: “Reach the 4th level point goal in Gates of the Nightmare Catcher.”

I understand that I need to earn points, but I’m not sure how the system works. Do I need to keep progressing through the higher difficulties to reach the Level 4 point goal, or can I just replay an easier difficulty multiple times and eventually accumulate enough points?

Also, does the difficulty affect how many points you earn, or is it only based on how far you get in a run?

Thanks!
