My persona 5 royal journey [part 1]

I played Persona 5 Royal for the first time back in August 2021 and it took me 6 months to complete the entire thing (243 hours worth hoo boy). This game really changed my life and I don't have the words to express what it means to me. I tried my best to do it justice!

[disclaimer: I had played the original Persona 5 back when it first came out but forgot 95% of it when starting Royal, so it really felt like a new playthrough. I had vague recollections of the first two palaces, the PTs + their names (but nothing about them or their arcs), and the pancakes meme but didn't understand what it meant]

Beautiful ending screen art is all thanks to @ yullyfish !
