Oh, and I’m beginning to get extremely annoyed at two party members:
1) In reality I should have been arrested a long time ago because of Ryuji’s big, careless mouth. I like using him just fine in the Metaverse, but I think I’d be tempted to leave him there.
2) Damn it, Morgana! I’m a big boy! Quit making me go to bed early all of the flipping time! In a game of time management, it’s really annoying to be stuck at home even on nights I don’t have a reason to be exhausted.
Yes, I am aware that Hot-For-Student helps with time management eventually. Hell, last night I played a day where she got me a free period in another teacher’s class, then I called her twice that evening, once for a massage and the second to get her to do a chore while I went somewhere else. That’s very helpful but I still find the gender-confused cat severely irritating.

In a game of time management, it’s really annoying to be stuck at home even on nights I don’t have a reason to be exhausted. The latter's another issue Royal's a bit better about. The game tends to be a little more flexible about letting you go out at night even on days when you're occupied and even when it does make you stay in usually it'll let you do stuff around LeBlanc.

Rank 10 Kawakami perk being carried over to New Game+ in Royal is a godsend.

That also goes for the original. Original everyone's perks carry over to New Game Plus so long as you maxed them out, starting from when you begin the confidant, while in Royal it's more selective and generally only lower level ones carry. ... Which is pretty clearly done almost entirely to timegate Ryuji's improved one-hit kill and Chihaya being able to summon Fusion Alarms which are a new mechanic.

I suppose I’ll find this out before too long, but do I need to restart any confidant tracks if I wanted to romance any different characters? For that matter, does my romance status in my first playthrough remain? Am I going to be a cheater?

All confidants restart, but you get the later perks upfront when you start them again and due to the improved social stats they're generally much faster to progress on later playthroughs. The only things that carry over from one file to another romance-wise are unique but unremarkable SP healing items and items that boost the rate your relationship improves with that person, the slate's wiped clean otherwise.

Ryuji's insta-kiil perk in Royal is ridiculous. Makes Mementos runs a breeze since I tend to tackle those post-Palace completion where they're all well-below my level.

Omg! I thought I’d finish the casino palace tonight and go to bed a little past midnight. It was past 1:30 when all of the f@%#ing cutscenes ended and I could save and go to bed.

Wonder if the ports will still let you summon DLC Personas for free from the get-go or if they'll be limited to just being able to be fused for. I'd assume (and prefer) the former since it takes less effort and makes for a nice bonus for people picking up the game again but would probably be more balanced to do the latter.

The dub cast is fantastic in it, but yeah it was a pretty lousy anime. P4's were a lot better, though The Golden Animation got really weird.

Well, I’m playing the original on my PS5 (presumably the PS4 version), and I only just realized I had DLC personas on my registry. It costs nothing to “recall” them.
