How One of Persona 5 Royal’s Confidants Makes a Case for a Simpler Persona 6

Persona 5 Royal is a very ambitious game full of complex, interweaving mechanics that sometimes end up feeling more convoluted than helpful. Although some of the mechanics it introduces are a major improvement over past entries, Persona 5 Royal has a few that end up underutilized or largely ignored due to how many features players need to keep track of as they make their way through the game. This mechanic overload is embodied by Ichiko Ohya’s Confidant, and her unpopularity among fans makes a strong case for Persona 6 to streamline its gameplay.
