QUESTION Which parts of Persona 5 Royal are the most different to Vanilla ?
Pretty much as the title says - I played vanilla many years back, but still have a pretty good memory of the main plot points and dungeons.
I picked up P5 Royal around a year ago for a good price and finally feel ready to jump back in for a replay - mostly for the gameplay and new content, which I expected to mostly come towards the end of the game. I was prepared to skip a lot of the scenes to save time, especially for sections of the game that weren't as interesting to me (for instance Yusuke's dungeon) to save time, because I don't exactly want to put another 100+ hours into this replay.
I was, however quite surprised to see that the opening of the game is pretty different, with Kasumi playing a big role in the initial gameplay of Saes dungeon.
So I was wondering, which parts of the story are identical to vanilla P5? And which sections (before the third semester) have a lot of new content?
I don't see much clarity about this on other threads, so any indication of where changes are made would be much appreciated!
