If additional characters, a bigger story and new social links were not enough of an update for the already great Persona 5, then how about pitting the Phantom Thieves against the protagonists from Persona 3 and Persona 4?
Atlus showed off some new images on the Persona 5 Royal Japanese Website that showcased bonus battles taking place in the Velvet room between the Persona 5 heroes against Persona 4’s Yu Narukami while using his signature persona, Izanagi, as well as Persona 3’s Yuki Makoto and his Thanatos Persona. Unfortunately Persona 3’s Female Protagonist Minako Arisato was not featured in the promotional materials and looks like she will not be an option to battle against.
This is a cool feature that gives players a chance to take on two of the biggest heroes in the Persona lore but we’re going to assume since these are bonus battles, you’re going to need to carry some high level Personas into battle with you. The extra battles do appear to be extra DLC, but no price point has been added.
Persona 5 Royal hits Japan on October 31st and is set to come to the west in 2020 exclusively to PS4.
