Take Your Time: Persona 5 Royal Podcast Episode 43: Jan. 24 - 30

Take Your Time - A Persona 3 Reload Podcast

Welcome to Take Your Time, a podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks where the duo will be playing Persona 5 Royal in real time, playing along with P5R's in-game calendar. Join Tom and Jonathon for episode 43 as we dive into the week of Jan. 24 - 30 and dig deeper into the brand-new Royal section of the Persona 5 calendar, including some free time, options to hang out with P5R's newest Confidant, and the bulk of Maruki's palace, the final one in Persona 5 Royal (unless Tom has been lying to Jonathon).

As our Persona 5 Royal podcast and playthrough continues, Jonathon and Tom spend the majority of this week's episode focused on the final palace of Persona 5 Royal, its new one set in Maruki's Palace. We dig into the P5R palace's structure, how it progresses and improves, and how it delivers some of out favorite puzzles in all of Persona 5. There's also the matter of battles to discuss, and Tom and Jonathon dissect how over or under-leveling can change this palace quite a bit, and whether we found any of its new battles difficult.

Of course, we have to dive into all of the story revelations of Maruki's Palace in Persona 5 Royal, so the duo breaks down what we learn about Maruki's plight, how it changes our understanding of the new additions to Persona 5 in its Royal version, and the complexity of the portrayal of Maruki throughout P5R. We also cover what we did in our free time this week and more. Plus, our Persona 5 podcast offers another Pop Quiz question, answers listener questions, and a lot more.
