Of EVERY school he could’ve chosen 😭
I just completed p5r for the second time and realized this about iwai’s confidant, he decided to send his son ,(who he claims to love) to shujin academy of all schools, they don’t have a principal, they had a pedo who basically ran the school, and it’s like he just forgot it happened 😭
Noobie here, what should I know about fusion
Just beat kamoshida, fun fact my school has a PE teacher who looks just like him and has similar allegations

Help with Madarame second phase
Hello I'm doing this thread because I can't beat Madarame I tried everything somehow he still ends up killing me at the second phase, I watched YouTube video they make it with controlling characters but I can't even control the characters of my team (Ryuji, Ann and Morana), apparently I need to press tab but it just makes the fight faster that's it there's no this option for me.
So I'm very confused. I try to beat them all. When I try to focus on the yellow in the middle, it doesn't work either because they become stronger and kill me, and then they kill my teammates, even if I use the wind element (I saw I need to use this one) but not enough apparently so yeah if someone have the same problem can someone help me please?
Nice website I just created
What do you think of it?

Need help emualting persona 5 royal
I am using skyline wildcard as of now and am on dimensity 7300 with a malig-615 gpu. The fps are great(25-30) but there a few problems,the biggest one being it crashing every 30-40 minutes(likely OOM). There a few video and text glitches but those are not that bad. And yeah just before crashing the text also started getting messed up. Until now I have saved and quit and reopened the emualtor to continue playing but I have heard the game has pretty long sections without saving.
If there are any better alternatives to skyline or if there are settings and tweaks that might help my case,PLEASE HELP. I would be really grateful
My device model is Motorola Edge 60 Fusion
Did I get blessed?
I have never gotta anything really good from fusion alarms till now. However this is my first time playing, so I was wondering if this would completely change the game as it could become too easy? What should I do? less
Question
Is this normal? This happened during the red velvet room alarm thing.
I made an open source Persona 5 Royal Save Editor for Steam called Change of Heart.
**Change of Heart** is a vibe-coded standalone, open-source PC save editor for *Persona 5 Royal* on Steam. It gives you full control over your save data, including Confidants, Compendium registration, Persona stats and movesets, and inventory items with automatic save file re-signing.
### Detailed Features
**1. Confidants & Story Progression**
- Full support for all 23 Arcanas with individual Rank 1–10 adjustments or 1-click batch maxing.
- 1-click 3rd Semester qualification setup (Maruki Rank 9, Kasumi Rank 5, Akechi Rank 8).
- Built-in relationship tracking: displays each character's perk unlocks, required Social Stats, and romance path options.
- Dynamic slot allocation and affinity point pairing so early-game saves are handled safely and in-game rank math stays consistent.
**2. 100% Compendium Registry**
- Reverse-engineered 232-persona bitmask supporting full 100% Compendium unlocks directly in the Velvet Room catalog.
- Interactive grid with character portraits to toggle individual persona registrations on or off.
- Quick batch unlocks for DLC Personas and Treasure Demons.
**3. Velvet Room & Party Management**
- Full 12-slot Persona stock management for Joker, allowing individual stat (St/Ma/En/Ag/Lu), level, trait, and 8-skill moveset customization.
- Party member level, HP, and SP adjustments.
- Pre-configured presets for top builds like Yoshitsune, Izanagi-no-Okami, Raoul, and Alice.
**4. Hideout & Inventory Vault**
- Dual-pane pouch interface allowing you to manage your 30 carried pouch slots alongside a searchable database of over 2,400 authentic items, weapons, armor, accessories, and skill cards.
- Quick-stock presets for infiltration tools, clinic medicines, and recovery items.
**5. Save File Safety & Encryption**
- Full recalculation of Atlus dual-layer CRC32 checksums and AES-256 container encryption so Steam never triggers save corruption errors.
- Automatic timestamped backup snapshots created in your save directory on every write.
### Why I made this
Personally, I get paralyzed whenever I realize I've veered off from a 100% guide, and the thought of wasting dozens of hours makes me not want to play the game at all. I wanted a solution that specifically helps with the time-gated Confidants.
So I created a save editor that not only solves that, but also helps protect you from spoilers and ruining the game for yourself, while still giving you the freedom to cheat or customize whatever you want if you like.
### Sharing it Open Source
Over the last few days, I vibe-coded the tool from scratch to reverse-engineer the PC save format and package it into a clean Windows desktop application. I used Hermes agent using Deepseek v4 Flash as the orchestrator with Deepseek v4 Pro and Antigravity as the primary planners. Tbh it was a hodgepodge of different configurations but that's basically the shape. There are more details in the GitHub.
I wanted to make this completely free and open source for the community.
**GitHub Repo & Release Download:**

If you find the tool useful and want to support the project, I also set up a Ko-fi:

Feedback and suggestions are welcome. I'd like to continue to improve and support this project.
Gen question, is this even usable?
Do I just have it out and I'll evade everything...?
Can I change the difficulty back to normal after the Okumura fight?
Like so many others before me, the Okumura fight is giving me a massive headache. I heard changing the difficulty to Merciless is one method and I’m seriously considering it, but can I change it back afterwards? I want to make sure before I do anything.
Maruki Did Nothing Wrong | Persona 5 Royal
I know this is a controversial topic, and I know that many people don't agree with me, but I think Maruki is right. In fact, I’d go even further than that: I think the Phantom Thieves are wrong.
Throughout the entire game, the Phantom Thieves approach their enemies from a very moralistic perspective. They have no real plan for the future. They thought that taking down a few bad individuals would be enough to change the system, but they failed. In the end, all they really achieved was gaining their own freedom.
Maruki, on the other hand, offers a systematic solution to the problem, and I think he is right.
What do you think?
Question About Shadows Lore
So obviously shadows are reflections of their real world counterpart’s desires/traumas/insecurities/distortions/etc., and if you kill them, a cognitive collapse is triggered in the real person.
I was wondering if there was any canon explanation for what happens when a Wild Card like Joker absorbs/acquires/recruits a shadow and turns them into a usable persona. Like, does the real person also shutdown? Do they gain a sudden affection for the Phantom Thieves? Does anything happen to them?
Adding onto that, what about fusion, since you sacrifice two personas to gain a more powerful one. Do the two actual people collapse? Do they meld into some kind of hive mind?
But then what about summoning from the compendium? Does some poor sucker who just lost a cosmic enlistment lottery get their shadow taken?
If you have any canon answers or headcannons/theories, I’d love to hear them!

Why is Yusuke completely unavailable on Jan 31/Feb 1 in P5R?
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!
I messed up.
I was going through Takemi’s storyline and thought I could build a romantic relationship with her, but after maxing it out, I ended up in the friend zone. This is my only “social link” that I’ve brought to level 10 so far. I played the game without any guides and didn’t know I needed to choose certain options, and even though I told Takemi I liked her, I still messed up. Now I’m worried about the other links — what if I messed up there too?
Help: I’m trying to maximize my confidants before the cut off. I’m currently in 1/20
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?
