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 ! twitch:   / leighxp   twitter:   / _leighxp   00:00 - let's start the game 6:06 - ah, you're back (for the first time) 8:47 - subways crashing and there's also akechi 10:33 - The Ginza Line TM 11:50 - ANN AND ALSO BEST BOY 13:37 - joker's awakening (HES SO COOL) 16:08 - joker adopts a cat 21:15 - the birth of salmon fishtoot 22:19 - ryuji's awakening (I LOVE HIM) 24:30 - kamoshida is actually the worst and the worst 31:48 - ann's awakening (I WANNA BE ANN WHEN I GROW UP) 33:59 - tae takemi pls step on me (and some honest student life sim) 37:01 - fun in the velvet room (bye arsene ;-;) 38:19 - phantom thieving around 45:12 - kamoshida (derogatory) 51:02 - student life sim cont. 54:09 - The First Crossword TM 55:44 - gun daddy 56:33 - the christening of the SchoolofToot 1:03:26 - playing dress up & jamming to music (the true persona experience) 1:08:14 - hi maruki 1:10:53 - YUSUKE!!! 1:14:09 - enter madarame's palace (i love this place) 1:19:48 - madrame isn't a good guy?!?!? 1:22:13 - yusuke's awakening (HE'S SO GOOD) 1:26:02 - phantom thieving pt. 2 1:28:10 - madarame boss [part 1 of my persona 5 royal first playthrough & reaction]
