After they escape, the protagonist, Morgana, Ryuji, and Sophia learn that EMMA enables them to enter the Jails similarly to how they used to enter Palaces via the Metaverse Navigator. Sophia joins the party and easily fights off the Shadows in the dumpster until they find their way out. Alice's Shadow has the protagonist, Morgana, and Ryuji thrown into a dumpster below Shibuya, where they encounter a sentient AI named Sophia. They encounter Alice's Shadow self: a ruler called a Monarch. Upon entering the keyword, however, he, Morgana, and Ryuji are transported into a mysterious alternate version of Tokyo called a Jail. While going to Shibuya to buy the necessary tools, they pass by an aspiring idol, Alice Hiiragi, who gives the protagonist an invitation card and requesting them to input 'Wonderland' into the EMMA app for a special event she is holding. To determine the camping preparations, they use a popular virtual assistant app called EMMA. If all active party members are knocked out in battle, a game over occurs.įour months after the events of Persona 5, the protagonist and Morgana return to Tokyo for a reunion with the other Phantom Thieves of Hearts to spend their summer vacation together on a camping trip. All party members can obtain new moves, known as Master Arts, by controlling the characters manually and defeating enemies. If the party deals critical damage or deals damage that the enemy is weak to, the enemy may be knocked down for an 'All-Out Attack' which deals a large amount of damage. During the time in this menu, the battle will pause to allow tactical positioning of the Persona skills. However, players will use a command-based skills menu when using Persona skills. Battles are also now in the form of a real-time combat system.

Unlike previous entries of the Persona series, leaving the dungeon does not progress time and there are generally no demerits in leaving the story dungeons.īattles are mostly initiated when the player character comes into contact with the enemy, where they can launch a surprise attack to gain a combat advantage if the enemy has not spotted them. The Alert level can be lowered by winning battles that are initiated with surprise attacks or by leaving the dungeon. Should the alert meter of the dungeon reach 100%, the party is forced to leave the dungeon. The 'Third Eye' also makes a return from Persona 5, where it highlights the enemy's strength and interactive objects. Exploring dungeons is similar to Persona 5, where players can use stealth to avoid enemies or may occasionally face the need to solve puzzles to progress. Players can only control Joker in the real world but are able to control any party member freely when exploring the story dungeons. Outside of battle, active party members can be swapped with standby party members. Players can form an active party of a maximum of four members, with Joker being the only character not removable as an active party member. The BOND levels can be increased through interacting with party members, winning battles, and progressing the story throughout the game. In its place are Requests, a form of side-quests, and the BOND system, where increasing its level can grant players bonuses such as stat increases. The Confidant system from Persona 5 is absent. These Personas can then be brought to the Velvet Room, where they can be fused to create new Personas. Joker, the game's protagonist, is able to wield multiple Personas, which are gained through random drops or by defeating named mini-bosses in dungeons. It features elements from both franchises, such as the real-time action combat of the former with the turn-based Persona-battling aspect of the latter.
