Quick Links
Outside the dungeon-crawling inPersona 5 Royal, time with Confidants is arguably the central focus of the game. By spending your free time with friends from Shujin Academy, your own neighborhood of Yongen-Jaya, or even the greater Tokyo area, P5R delivers some unforgettable connections throughout the year Joker spends leading the Phantom Thieves.
