Does Persona 5 Carry Over to Royal?
When Persona 5 Royal was released, many fans wondered whether the original game’s save data would carry over to the new version. Unfortunately, the answer is no. Persona 5 Royal is a completely new experience and will not support Persona 5 save data. This means that players who purchase Royal will have to start fresh with a new game, and any progress or data from the original game will not be transferred.
Permanent Increases
However, there is some good news. Any permanent increases to HP and SP gained through activities such as training in your room or meditating at the temple will carry over into New Game+ in Persona 5 Royal. This means that players who have already maxed out their characters’ stats can start New Game+ with an advantage.
Confidant Carries Over
Another important aspect is that Confidant ranks will carry over from Persona 5 to Persona 5 Royal. However, if a Confidant was maxed out in Persona 5, it will start over at Rank 1 in Persona 5 Royal. This means that players who have already built strong relationships with their confidants will have to restart those relationships from the beginning.
No Cross-Save
It’s worth noting that Persona 5 Royal does not support cross-save between platforms. This means that players who want to play the game on multiple platforms will have to purchase it separately for each platform.
In-Game Progress Carries Over
Despite the lack of cross-save and save data transfer, some in-game progress will carry over from Persona 5 to Persona 5 Royal. This includes the following:
• Story Progress: Players who have completed the story in Persona 5 will have some story content locked off, but will be able to access it again in Persona 5 Royal.
• Personality Tests: Players who have already taken the personality tests in Persona 5 will be able to access them again in Persona 5 Royal.
• Phone App: Players who have downloaded apps on their in-game phone will be able to access them again in Persona 5 Royal.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while Persona 5 save data does not carry over to Persona 5 Royal, there are some benefits to playing the new version. Permanent increases to HP and SP will carry over into New Game+, and some in-game progress will also carry over. However, players should be aware that they will have to start fresh with a new game and that some aspects of their progress will be reset.
