Hiromu Miyazawa: A food critic active on TV and online channels. Visiting various restaurants, Miyazawa actively gives reviews on the food he eats in his personal show. However, in reality, he is a demanding and conceited man as restaurant owners are forced to give him bribes so that they won't receive negative reviews and he won't take away the restaurants from them.
There are several changes that have been made to locations in the overworld compared to the original game due to being set in an alternate timeline:
The game’s combat has been simplified a fair bit. For starters, each character’s Persona (or Persona II) have only three skills available. This also applies to the personas the main character acquires. Each party member has two passive skills and Awareness. While One Mores, Baton Passes, Gun Attacks and All-out Attacks all return from the predecessor, they have also been simplified, (with the exception of Gun Attacks). Downing an enemy, rather than allowing a party member to freely act again with any of their available skills, grants the option of either using a single fixed skill—typically (but not always) an attack keyed to their element, or Baton Passing to let an ally do the same.
Lufel points out to Nagisa a former baseball player, Takeyuki Kiuchi, who intentionally rams into women in the subway as a means of attaining his misogynistic desires, and says that in order to stop him, they must enter Kiuchi's palace (a baseball stadium) within the Metaverse and steal his treasure, an object which is the source of warped desires.
Daisoujou wearing a mask and his skeletal body has been changed to have a more flesh-like appearance.
After awakening from a nightmare, the protagonist is thrust into a changed world drained of hope... And the new faces he encounters are pelo less strange: an eloquent owl named Lufel, a long-nosed man and a beauty donned in blue.
On his way to school the following day, Nagisa meets with his classmate Motoha Arai and her best friend, Tomoko Noge, who aspires to play baseball professionally after Motoha abruptly quit baseball. Tomoko saves Motoha from being rammed by Kiuchi, but she herself is thrown onto the tracks, preventing her from playing baseball. Motoha resolves to change Kiuchi's heart.
While this game has the same social stat system as Persona 5, the stats can be raised to a much higher amount. Similarly, the game has Synergy Links, which function near identically to the Confidant system, only with more ranks, usually ranging from 15 to 20. Despite this, for most of the ranks only ten of them have events. There also are some non confidant characters that have side quests the protagonist can complete to get rewards.
She is also responsible for stalking and psychologically grooming Shoki Ikenami, who she views as nothing but a possession, while being hostile towards those who are closest to him.
Within the Metaverse, Mementos has been entirely overhauled, no longer being Persona 5 The Phantom X procedurally generated and has set regions. Aside from that, most of the Metaverse in general has seen little changes. Thieves Tool crafting is still present and the Palaces function identically to their Persona 5 Royal iterations. There is a mysterious park within the Metaverse that functions somewhat like the Thieves Den, having the ability to be customized.
After the brief introduction end, he returns to reality where the protagonist begins to fall victim to his desires being taken away. He's unable to convince the girls in the hallway to move, and later when a girl jumps from a building, he finds himself unable to call for help.
The gameplay isn't bad, but it's clear that they've decided to focus on finding more ways to get people to spend rather than creating an enjoyable experience. Especially when we have previous versions to compare to, the global version is way stingier, consistently giving less rewards and increasing prices.
As the male silent protagonist (who is named by the player, though he is canonically named Nagisa Kamishiro[d], but also given the codename Wonder) attending the school in modern-day Tokyo, players experience the story events, answer questions in class, and freely explore the city after school or during days off in order to engage in various activities.
The characters from Persona 3 Reload are a special case. They are actual Persona users but have an unknown connection to the protagonist's cognition and appear as cognitions.
