You get a chance to meet each of the main characters in a way that makes sense, rather than feeling like a string of introductions pieced together with tenuous plot, and it built up my excitement for the main story by establishing the concept and setting. There’s also a 2-page mini-comic displayed at the end to summarise the major events, but I recommend reading the full prologue, if you have the time.Įven though I was excited and impatient to start my first playthrough, I’m still glad I read the prologue properly before I started. It’s broken down into ten chapter parts, but you can actually skip the entire thing and read it later if you’d rather jump straight into the game. Prologue: When you first open the game, you’ll automatically begin reading the prologue. I haven’t completed my first playthrough yet, so this is more of a first impression than a full review, although I will also include an overview of all the different sections of the game, as it can be overwhelming to try and learn all the new game mechanics in the beginning. The gacha is probably the part of the game that is the most different from other Ikemen titles, as it allows more options for resources to spend and different types of gacha to choose from, including a daily free pull on the ‘gold’ banner.Ĭurrent progress: So far, I’ve completed the prologue, beginner missions, and given myself a tour of all the different menus, buttons, and features. It features the same, daily 5 x free story tickets (enough to read 1 chapter of the story per day), as well as a minigame to acquire ‘Intimacy’ points, and a player avatar, which you can decorate with attire and other items collected throughout the game.Īs is typical for a mobile otome game, Ikemen Prince features frequent, limited-time events, as well as several types of gacha. If you’ve played other games in the Ikemen Series franchise, then Ikemen Prince will likely feel familiar to you, as the general layout and structure of the game is similar to other titles by CYBIRD. A common woman known for her unbridled obsession with books, the protagonist suddenly finds her life turned upside down when she’s whisked to the castle, declared to be the new ‘Belle’, and tasked with choosing Rhodolite’s new king from a selection of eight, beastly princes… It’s a better idea to leave one or two of the side confidants to level up during the third semester and make sure all of your party have hit Rank 10.Ikemen Prince tells a tale as old as time, of Beauty and Her Beast, as the player is invited to star in their own fairy tale romance. You don’t necessarily need to raise every party member to Rank 10 before the third semester, but it’s highly recommended as you have limited free time to hang out, and even less depending on each character’s individual schedule. The big addition, however, is the ability to transform all of your party member’s Persona into their third and most powerful form.Īt Rank 10, your party member confidants will unlock their Persona’s second form, and if a confidant is at Rank 10 during the third semester you’ll get an option to hang out with them and unlock the third form. Of course, a new Palace also means more opportunities to level up and purchase new equipment. You also get enough free time to boost stats or do anything else you want. Outside of more story, the third semester gives you some extra time to boost confidant ranks you might have been lacking on. Kasumi Yoshizawa (Faith Confidant) - Rank 5 by December 22Įach party member also gets a snazzy new winter outfit for the third semester.Goro Akechi (Justice Confidant) - Rank 8 by November 17.Maruki (Councilor Confidant) - Rank 9 by November 17 Just to quickly sum up the requirements of the true ending, here’s an overview. In June and September Kasumi is only available on Wednesday, but during July, August, and September, she can occasionally be found on Thursday and Sunday as well. She can generally be found during lunchtime or after school, but the days she’s available depends on the month. Kasumi, on the other hand, is a bit easier to tackle, especially since you have a few extra weeks to raise her Confidant Rank. Your best bet is to look for him at night on Wednesdays and Saturdays, just make sure to check your map and phone messages. You can still play through the third semester without doing this, but there are some extra scenes and important context that you’ll miss out on.Īkechi is a bit harder to hang out with than the other Phantom Thieves, as his schedule can be a bit weird. Akechi (Justice Confidant) needs to be raised to Rank 8 by November 17, while Kasumi (Faith Confidant) needs to be raised to Rank 5 by December 22. If you want to see the true ending for Persona 5 Royal, you’ll need to raise two other confidants to a specific rank by a certain date. The third semester’s story revolves around Kasumi and Maruki.
