After a very-long wait, my first challenge for my most requested game is finally here; Persona 5: Royal. Rather than do Arsene-only like most people have asked, I instead decided to play through the entire game without using the services provided in the Velvet Room. That means no fusion, compendium, etc. Be sure to stick around to find out what happens in part 2!

Nyarly at 12:00 am: yeah, this is a good time to drop a 1 hour video
You actually only need to do Maruki's confidant to unlock the 3rd semester. There's actually some unique scenes if you don't do Akechi's and Sumi's link. For example Sumi's dad won't be wearing the glasses you pick out.
Sae's dungeon reinforced the rule "if there's lyrics in dungeon theme, that means plot is about to take a turn". And yes I spent 20 minutes just listening to it on my P5 playthrough.
The Judgment confidant doesn't affect the flashback. The Personas you fuse don't get bonus experience until Shido's Palace (so until you get to the present)
Fun fact: Judgement SL does literally nothing for you until Shido's arc, you don't even get Arcana Burst from it until then
“One night on the way home we ran into David Cross harassing some woman” that line had me laughing for 5 minutes straight
Kamoshida's second spike can also be cancelled by just hitting him hard enough, doing so causes him to get mad and he scares the Shiho copy off. It's harder than killing Shiho, but is preferable if you can pull it off since it's extra damage to him (and Ann is happier not having to kill the copy).
I assume the reason you can't All-Out Attack in the Okumura bossfight is because you haven't Downed Okumura in the background. Since he can't be Downed or otherwise be put into a state in which an A-O A can be done, none can be done for the fight
Personally, my favorite part of these challenges is hearing Nyarly's sassy commentary on these games. It's honestly such a treat.
For the record, you don't need Akechi and Kasumi maxed out for Third Semester, just Maruki. But all the same: A challenge run without constantly stabbing yourself for every single tiny movement forward where the game punishes you almost immediately after finishing a roadblock!
I always like to think that Joker doesn't actually sum up the story to Sae, but actually has PERFECT memory of all the events, and she just has to sit there while Joker goes: "And then on 31/8 i got a text from Fox that he would be at the store to hang out, but i decided to go and study at the diner instead since it was raining! Then after i got home, i decided to go hold a sign for a politician!".

The funniest part about this video is that during my first run of Persona 5 Vanilla, I've beaten most of the game with doing very little fusions & using the velvet room, not because I wanted to challenge myself, but because I barely even knew of the existence of fusions & using a compendium for Persona's.
I love how as soon as the Ad starts, Tanaka's theme is playing in the background.

As Akihiko once said "I've been waiting for this!" (But no I have been waiting for this challenge run for a long time now...)
