Persona 5 Royal’s Guns Create a Dilemma for Persona 6

Persona 6 has quite the shoes to fill once it finally releases. While the Persona franchise has always been excellent, Persona 5 brought the franchise into the mainstream; what was once a niche series has become a genre-defining phenomenon. In raising the bar for the series, Persona 5 Royal introduced numerous changes to the Persona formula which could make its success hard to repeat. While many of these changes are related to aesthetic, story, and themes, there are some gameplay elements in P5R that would be missed if absent. One such element that Persona 6 will have to navigate is P5R‘s firearms.
